บท 7: 4. Take what you can get ...not more
Yuree
" hey " a guy said sitting in front of me . I looked from my lunch at this ... person . I said person because I didn't know who he was . He was handsome though , with light brown hair and a big smile .
" Umm hi " I said and he smiled wider .
" so what you doing ? " he asked me suddenly and I used my fork and pointed to my food .
" How does it taste ? " he asked me and I was even more confused .
What does he want ? I thought
" It tastes okay . umm do you want something ? " I asked him and his smile turns to a smirk .
" Yeah , can I get your number ?" he asks me , I frown at him .
" What ? " I ask still confused .
" Maybe that's too forward ." he says rubbing a hand through his hair , " how about we get to know each other first ? "
Okay , seriously who is this guy ?
" umm do I know you ? "
" Oh right , my name is Steven and ...I want to date you . So it's your lucky day ." he said smiling like he had just offered me a million dollar gift . I grabbed my backpack and lifted my lunch tray , and I started to walk away .
" hey , where are you going ? " he called out to me .
" Anywhere but there " I said under my breath .
I moved to a free bench in the corner and was about to start eating my lunch when another guy came up and quickly sat infront of me . But this one I knew .
" Hey , why did you do that ? " Terry said or signed . He liked to use sign language because he was taking a course on communications and me being one of the very few students who had grown up knowing sign language I became his main teacher and he became my best friend .
" Do what ? " I said innocently and he frowned at me dubiously . I turned my eyes to the side and put the fork in my mouth and then realized there was nothing on it .
" He seemed nice , why did you walk away ? " he asked me .
" He seemed nice because you didn't hear what he said ." I told him picking up some string beans .
" Can't be that bad , I mean look at him . " he said looking behind me and smiling admiringly . I grabbed his head and made him look at me .
" Don't look at him like that , or he'll come here ." I said and he struggled his chin out of my grasp .
" Would that be a bad thing ? "
" yes " I said intensely ," he's the sixth guy to approach me today . I have barely gotten a chance to be by myself . I'm not used to this attention ."
" Poor you " Terry said sarcastically " oh how it must hurt to have all these guys coming and going just to be with you . oh the torture ."
" Exactly ."
Terry gaped his mouth and frowned ," I was being sarcastic ! How can you not want these handsome and hot guys to just drop themselves at your feet ."
" Firstly yes I knew you were being sarcastic and secondly these guys want ME to drop at THEIR feet . These are not the type guys I like ."
Terry frowned and then lifted his right hand , moving his index finger in a swirling motion next to his ear . He was calling me crazy !
" How am I crazy here ? " I demanded and he sighed like he knew better .
" Because you don't know the type of guys you do like , that's why . You've never dated remember ? "
Gosh darn it , he did know better .
" Yes ...I know . But ...ugh ! I hate this . Ever since this morning, after Lassy yelled out in the auditorium I've been constantly approached ... this never used to happen . " I said moupingly , and Terry smiled .
" Yes it did ." he said and I raised my brow questioningly.
He sighed and palmed his face , " You got approached lots of times . But I doubt you remember , because it has been over 3 years since any guy even thought of coming to get your number . I actually started thinking your going be single forever ."
" Really ?" I asked him , I couldn't remember guys approaching me as often as this .
" Yes and by the way don't blame Lassy for all of this . You can attract guys pretty easily yourself . "
" I can ? I ...I do ? " I asked surprised and he shook his head as if he was not even surprised by my surprise .
" Yuree , let me tell you something that I should have told you sooner . Your HOT from head to toe . And THAT is the reason guys like him " he pointed behind me ," come after you ....only to be rejected unfortunately ."
" Well they're not my type ."
" What is your type ? right now point to any guy in this cafeteria and say he is your type . Do it !" he admonished and I looked around at all the guys in the cafeteria . There were muscular boys , thin lanky ones , a few goths and nerds , alot of them ...but I didn't feel anything . Not the zing ! that my parents said they felt .
" And the answer is nobody ." Terry said putting his chin in his hand , " I am not surprised . Yuree do you know how many times you've talked about getting married to ' THE ONE ' ? "
" Yeah ," I smiled at the change in conversation ," alot of times ."
" Do you know how many times you've talked about any guy ...in school or outside ? " he asked and my smile dropped at the return of this conversation .
" Yeah ," I said quietly, I moved my fork on my tray ," a few ... maybe less ...I think ."
" A few ? Try zero ." Terry said , did I mention he liked guys too ? Which was another reason he was my friend .
" I'm just waiting for that special someone you know ? like my mom and dad ." I said defensively and he raised his hands in appease .
" I didn't mean to get you worked up but ... Yuree I'm your friend ." he said talking with a sad look ," And I honestly wonder if you even know what you want sometimes . And look , what was between your parents was obviously magical , you've told me enough times that I believe it . But what about you ? You can't expect your life to copy your parents . When it comes to love sometimes you take what you get or you take what you CAN get . You only live once ."
" Excuse me ." a lanky voice said next to us , we turned to see who it was . A thin guy with glasses was holding a can of coke ... offering it to me ?!
" I bought you this...for you . It's sugar free diet Coke ...good for your cholesterol ."
I took it slowly and tentatively , " Thanks " I said .
He stood stiffly for a second ,he was biting his lips before he blurted out ,
" Can I sit with you ? " he asked and I saw he had braces on .
" Well I ...I'm talking to my friend and - "
" Who me ? " Terry said quickly getting up , " I was just leaving . here take a seat ." Terry practically shoved the guy into the chair .
Then turned to leave but paused and whispered in my ear ," Only live once ." Then he was gone and I was left all alone with ...
" Hey umm so what's your name ? "
I asked the guy with glasses . He smiled and I felt chills . Did those things hurt ? I thought about his braces .
" I'm Hort " he said smiling , and I thought that sounded like something you throw up . I told him so too and he smiled at me again .
" That's the nicest thing anyone ever said to me ."
" oh okay ." I said tentatively .
He pushed up his glasses and then reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief . Before I knew what he was doing , he had reached up and wiped a bit of soup of my lips . Then he looked at the stained handkerchief , before putting it in the breast pocket of his shirt .
" I'll keep it in my bathroom ." he said and I felt more unnerved . He was going keep it there for what ? I wondered .
" Okay ... okay ." it was all I could say . This guy was giving me the wheelies !
" Are you going to drink it ? " he asked me and I felt confused about what he was talking about until he pointed to the Coke can next to my hand .
" oh yeah ." I reached for the can and tried to open it ...but it was already open .
" I made sure it was sugar free for you " Hort said proudly , he drank it ! I was shocked , and he still wanted me to drink it ?
" Is it sugar free ? " I asked him putting the bottle back on the table .
" Yes , I checked . It's delicious too ." he said like nothing was wrong with that .
" Hort tell me ... how well can you see with your glasses ? " I asked him and he frowned confused in the change of discussion . Good !
" I'm short sighted . Why ? " he asks .
" My mom is deaf and I have trouble with my hearing sometimes . So disabilities interest me . " I explained
Hort nodded like he understood .
" So Hort , can you tell me ...what do you see over by the counter ? " I said smiling and he frowned but turned around to do as I said . Perfect !
I hastily opened the can and poured it's contents in the bin right next to us . Thank goodness I chose the bench with a bin !
" I see four students , 3 boys and 1 girl in a line. They're ordering the daily special of spaghetti . " Hort said turning around and saw me wiping my lips with the Coke can in my hand .
" You were right . Delicious !" I said smiling and he smiled back .
" Oh can I have the can ? " he asked me as I was about to throw it in the bin . I handed it to him and he reached in his pocket , he pulled out a plastic bag and put the can inside .
" I'll put it in my bedroom ." he said and I felt shivers again but luckily I was saved by the bell .
" Oh I gotta get to class , sorry Hort . " I said hastily and before he could even say anything I ran quickly to get rid of my tray . I hoped to never bump into him again ! Terry was wrong , you may live once but I'll live waiting for my love rather than date anyone .
