a belated valentine's story

it's valentines day at king's jr high. well really its Feb 13th but we don't have school on Saturdays so the 13th is when you share the love.

i get a few valentine's from some of the girls in my fan club. at least i think they are in a fan club that has my name in the title. they like to hang out with me and i get it cause i'm like only 10 years older than them AND when asked i knew about the Chris Brown saga.

best moment of the day comes right before 2nd block. a sweet young man is standing outside my room with a rose (so clearly not for me, i'm not Mary K. Letourneau) and he looks like he might throw up right then and there. i then watch the following happen while trying to pretend not to:

this boy awkwardly walks towards who is apparently his new girlfriend. he hands her the rose without really making eye contact. they hug (which is strictly forbidden in the JH but it's the day of love so i let it slide). she mutters thank you and then they both make a dash to their friend groups where the girls are all like "OH MY GOSH...oooo, ahhhh) and the boys are like "duuuuude (insert many high fives)" 

the bell rings and he comes in still red in the face. i wonder if he is going to pass out cause he looks like that is a real possibility. a few minutes pass and he collects himself. he knows he is the man. she knows he is the man. and i know they got away with an illegal hug.
