Welp.
Much like when that gorgeous girl shows unexpected interest in you and your nerdy love of basketball-from-afar, smiling as you talk PER and VORP, nodding sweetly when you suggest watching a playoff game together after school. At your house.
“Let me check on some things, and I’ll let you know,” she says with a smile, flashing those perfect white teeth before turning around and letting you watch her skirt sashay down the hall to her gaggle of friends.
You know from experience to turn away at that moment, before she gets to them, so you won’t see the glances back at you and giggly laughs.
