A girl's awkward encounter.
It was a sunny mid-afternoon on a rather boring Tuesday. I had stopped in the cafeteria for a quick bite to eat. Looking around for a moment I noticed how full the place was, feeling very lucky that I even managed to get a table. It was crowded and it was loud. People's voices filled the room completely, I could barely manage to hear myself think. And yet, I notice a table of two girls directly beside me being just loud as everyone else.
The girls were rather young, probably around my age. I could see them both smiling and laughing from their conversation. One of them had long, brown, and straight hair. And, she wore a graphic tee that had a big heart on it and the word "You" written under it. I assume you read it as "love you". The girl across from her had short blond hair and had on a bright blue jacket, which kept attracting my attention.
A couple minutes later, I was in the middle of my eating lunch, when a third girl walks up to the two girls across from me and says very loudly "My life is like a fucking soap, I swear!" Her crass language quickly catches my attention. Not having looked over yet, I could hear the other two girl ask "how?" almost simultaneously. She begins her story, rather loudly, as if bragging. "I had one night stand with this guy last night in the dorms..." She was interrupted by her two friends who both said "What!" in perfect unison this time. Even I thought "What!" and "How could someone say that out loud like that."
Graphic tee girl asks "How was it?" and giggles. I had to look at graphic tee girl and question in my head "how could you ask something like that." That when I notices the third girl. She was still standing next to the table. She had short, dark brown hair. With thick, black frame glasses and had on a black leather jacket with a satchel strap going across her chest. She grinned and replied to graphic tee girl "It was good. But that's beside the point." She continued her story. "It turns out this guy was in my chemistry lab and he had the balls to come up to me and ask if we could have some "fun" again tonight. Fun! His words not mine." She used the quotation hand gesture every time she said the word: fun.
The two girls sitting down began to look at one another and grin then look back at her. Even I had my eyes fixated on her, her story was quite "fun" and fascinating. She continues, answering everyone unasked question. "I told him no." She smiled. "I said look buddy that was a one time thing and I got a boyfriend, so back off," Bright blue jacket girl asked "You got a boyfriend?" Graphic tee girl replied for our storyteller. "Yeah, remember she brought him to my party a while back." Bright blue girl shook her head.
Our storyteller butted in "The point is.." as if there is a moral to this story. "..it's gonna be awkward to see him in lab from now on." She laughs and looks at her phone. "Okay, I got to go. I'm gonna be late for my next class." She begins to run along and the other two girl and I resume eating. I'm not sure how to take her story but the other two girls seemed to have enjoyed it.
