Haha! I'm not old enough to know about experiences of 18 year olds but I definitely have moments that this thread reminded me of!!! Haha!!
But first of- thanks Arisai for this thread! It was a great idea! (Btw I know I am like a year late but I only just found this.. :P)
My story is not that funny or cute but I will share it anyway.
So I go to an all girls school and this guy went to the all boys school that was about 5 or so minutes by car away... These schools are known to be 'brother- sister' schools as they do activities together... So that's just background information that's actually irrelevant..
The story started on valentines day.. Basically I was doing a group maths challenge with my school and we went. I saw him from that school (neither of us had seen each other before) and I just found his eyes (which were really very large) captivating... I got a crush on him.. :P but I never told anyone and never knew his name..
Then a few months later. I was walking to school one day and I have this really bad habit of staring into cars.. I looked in and I saw this same guy who I recognised.. I got to school and asked my best friend (Z)who they were since they did CCF with this boys school (I didn't).. She told me..
A time after that I had to carry my tent to school.. And I was walking. It was really very large and I am quite a short person so it must have looked amusing... He passed by in the car and was staring at me, smirking.
Another time I was walking to school.. And basically I was talking to myself because I had an exam and it was my way of revising.. I should explain that I am very gesticulate and so when I talk my hands fly about everywhere... Anyway so his car passed by and he gave me the weirdest look ever. When I got to school I told my best friend (Z) the whole story and told her why
Later that week my best friend (Z) had CCF at his school and coincidentally she was out in the same group as him. My other friend (X)also knew that this guy saw me every day when I walked to school... So she asked him whether he knew me. He said, 'No'. Then X said 'Of course you don't know her name. Sorry. I meant do you know the girl who is short and walks to school every day' He replied 'yes and she walks with her dad doesn't she?'
My best friend (Z) then said 'yes' he then told her 'the last time i saw her (me) she was talking to herself and was acting weird' My best friend (Z) said 'It is because she had an exam and so she was revising but she told me you gave her weird looks'
He then was apologising saying that he was just confused by my behaviour and he kept saying he was really sorry. According to Z he was really upset...
The story isn't much but I can tell you how stupid I was back then... I found out where he lived by mistake and whenever I passed I would look into the house to see if I could see him... Or I would look inside every large black car to see if he was in it... I guess I was obsessed... So I actually understand why khushi had done what she did.. And why everyone else did what they did.
I am sorry. I kinda rambled on for ages... It's not even a proper interesting story. Not sure why I even wrote it.. Sorry.
