(If you want to get an idea of what’s been going on, look at my previous post.)
I unexpectedly ran into him today while working on a project at the computer lab. The first thing that came to mind as I walked in and saw him was “leave” but honestly, I couldn’t. I had to get this project done or else my future would be at the mercy of my schools hands. It’s not like my school takes kindly to failures, but, anywho.. I walked in and sat down at the desk the teacher directed me to. It was right next to the printer. I knew he would get up at some point to print out whatever paper they were working on. It would mean me having to face him. Boy was I right. The time did come eventually. He got very close to me. He knew I was sitting there because I’m sure he recognized my backpack and the style and color of my hair. He could have stood on the other side of the printer (you can stand on it from to 3 directions and collect your papers from it) but he chose to stand right next to me. It was the most uncomfortable thing I ever had to bare. It took at least 30 seconds before he got his papers and left. But, not before he place his hands on my shoulder. I tensed up really badly. I watched him from the corner of my eye as he sat down. I thought he wouldn’t come back but oh no. He did, but he actually spoke to me. When he talked to me he acted casual, like nothing happened. He asked me “what you working on?” And I replied quickly “senior project,” “what’d you do for yours?” “A thing for my church.” I tried to make it quick so he would leave me alone because at that point I was shaking badly. I don’t know from what but it got to the point were my leg started to bounce. He stood behind me until I told him I was busy and then he left to go talk to his friend, whom was right in front of me! I looked away to try to calm myself down. When I successfully did a little bit I saw him holding up his phone snapping a photo of me.. I didn’t realize it until he had left. I texted my friend about the incident and she told me to confront him which I did through text message. He did take a picture (snapchat as I later found out) of me but he sent it to my sister.. But even though it was my sister I wasn’t really happy about that. It’s not very acceptable to do that to someone who is hurting. im sure he would feel furious if I did that to him. But I won’t because I think before I act.
(It’s honestly hard keeping your cool in front of someone whom you once loved at one point.)
So ya that pretty much our encounter today. Sorry if it seems story like? I was feeling a bit inspired today. Hope you all are having a great day! Thanks for reading this awful long post!
