Today, at school, while waiting for a teacher to get to the classroom, we stood outside, and I overlooked the grounds. People were playing football (the one with your feet, not handegg, like what you silly Americans play), other classmates were chatting happily, and I just stood there.
I’m normally a loner when it comes to social interaction, but when you meet me, I’m a chatty guy.
Out of the blue, a girl; who I hadn’t talked to much; runs up to me and wraps her arms around me happily. Just for the hell of it. I… instinctively, wrapped my arm around her neck lovingly, without even thinking. She meeped slightly and giggled. We stood there for about… oh, a good two minutes, just… embraced, would be the correct word.
I didn’t know her well, she didn’t know me well.
She let go after the two minutes. Instantly, the warmth from her body left, and I felt… like I lost something. I don’t know what I lost, but I felt an emptiness in my soul from that point on. I still do, somewhat, but I just felt more alone that usual.
I’ve never kissed a girl in my entire life, I’ve always been the weird kid who did semi-decent in his classes, kept to himself, etc. This… was new. I felt like I was obligated to wrap my arm around her, keep her warm, make her comfortable like she did me.
I look at that girl differently now, she’s in my class. I look at a lot of things differently. Maybe I’m not such a social outcast anymore. Maybe I’ll have a girlfriend in the near future. Maybe I’ll have my first kiss.
And maybe the moon is made out of cheese.
