to the bar to have a few drinks. I saw that it was kind of busy that night and I could tell some young folks had got into the bar. I turned around to scope the room and then I saw the one person I would never expect to see there. The heavyset girl…Nina was with this white guy and his friends talking and having a good time. I slowly took my drink and walked towards the guy she seemed to be talking to the most. I stood and looked around and attempted to make a few sweet eye movements in his direction. He took note to it really quick. In his attempt to come and talk to me she had stopped him and said something quietly but I still could hear it.

“Don’t cuz that’s my friend Emil’s boyfriend.” She looked at me as if I had committed a crime. I looked at her as she looked at me straight on.

“Is there some reason you’re staring at me miss?” I said in attempt to be nice and make conversation the only loophole possible.

“Your Emil’s boyfriend. So does he know you’re out here mingling with other guys?” She was protective of her friends obviously, even the not so close ones.

“For one thing hun, me and Emil aren’t dating… And two…aren’t you too young to be here?”

That only seemed to be the wrong thing to say to her. Her cold shoulder and her group of friends moved off to the other side of the room made it obvious that I had pissed her off. I walked over to apologize to her but when I did she just nodded and continued talking to her friends. I downed my drink fast…

Getting into my car was a long process, I thought about how I had the worst luck a person could have this year. It was all going down because of a man…Friday was coming soon… I would somehow tell him I liked him…without even knowing him.
