2.3 The boat is about to dock....

There were dramas all around the office. Well, first of all, since I am the office manager, I get to move all of the unused boxes from the office to the storage room. It is much better now. It is very clean. Second of all, there’s a history of people not liking Mary. She’s okay as a friend sometimes. She just doesn’t know when to stop talking. Same goes to Ted. He’s now Lisa’s boyfriend. I can’t really talk to Lisa about how I don’t really like Ted. Once, I complained to Victoria about Mary being all bossy around me when I was about to do something in a few hours. Mary cried. I feel very bad when I heard that from Victoria. Even after that talk, Mary still talked bad things about the 4 executives of the MathSoc just because she’s more experienced than them.

One day, after I kept on asking random people about liking someone, I eventually told Jane about what has been making me confused. At first, I didn't want to tell anyone because I knew that something more was going to happen. I told Katharine that I couldn't tell her who I liked because if I tell her, my feelings will grow stronger since I'm still not sure if I really liked this guy. Then, Victoria found out from Jane about the person that I like. Victoria said that it seems like the feeling is mutual; and yet I don’t know how he felt about me. It was terrifying. So, because at that time there were two guys who likes to hang out at Mathsoc, Christian and William, I tried asking both of them a question so that it won’t be so obvious who "boat" is for other people.

“If I were to tell you that I like you, would you go out with me?”

2.2 Why oh why?

My birthday came by a week later. As we were talking casually in a restaurant for my birthday, I told George that there might be a “boat”. Everyone, George, Katharine, and Lisa, were confused because I didn’t really tell anyone about it. I still didn’t tell anyone who “boat” is. At this time, I feel much happier than last term. I was thinking of how the rest of my family came to visit me and my brother during the Christmas break, and it was our first Christmas together again after 4 years. Victor wasn’t very happy working in Toronto. He was miserable. He never talked to me, but people talk.

I wasn’t too sure about telling people who I had a crush on. He is not that tall. He’s cute, he has a little bit of an accent and he is a very nice person. I could only tell my cousin, Christina. It’s Christian. I like Christian. It was very hard to keep it a secret from everyone else. But the way I like him was very different than my past experiences in liking guys. It is slow and steady. No rush.
