When November came, I was already preparing myself to tell John how I feel about him without wanting anything back from him. I was ready. The event was called Leader party. It was for orientation leaders who helped during orientation week. We had amazing food and the time came for me to talk to John. I went up to him and said “can I talk to you?” and he said “okay” just casually sitting on his chair. Eventually, I succeeded in pulling him outside of the room to talk in private.
“I like you.”
He was staring at the ceiling with a grin on his face.
“Don’t worry; you don’t have to say anything because I don’t really expect anything back from you”
He was still staring at me.
“I still want to be your friend.”
“Yes, we will still be friends.”
His words made me feel much better just because he didn’t give me any replies when I told him that I like him.
Then, we went back to the room. Everyone was asking me how it went when he was just at the table beside us. I was thinking to myself of how foolish they were to do that. Afterward, John and I agreed on staying in good terms as friends. I gave him a hug when he was about to leave the party. It was a long hug and it was nice. It felt like he didn't want to let go.
Almost the end of November was a hectic time for us. Not in terms of school, but somehow everything was starting to fall apart. Everyone was very sensitive. But eventually, we got over it. Brandon and Victor moved to Toronto and now we have George, Katharine and me still in Waterloo. We had a lot more friends too. Lisa, Karen, and Brad. I was closer to Lisa because she was the one who has been listening to my stories when I’m happy or sad. She’s a very good secret keeper I must say.
