Damn you Quiet Girl. You are my arch nemesis. Once again, you have caused me to miss a chance that could have been quite nice.
It was V, my second (girl) best friend's birthday party. It was fun, a lot my friends were there. We were having a good time. I was being my normal self that my friends all know: random, a little loud, fun...
Then the band came. Well, not really a band-band, just these two guys from her church that played electric guitar and drums. They were about our age, and really, really cute. Especially the drummer. And they sounded super good. After they're first set, they both came over to talk to the group of us. They introduced themselves, and we did the same. From the corner of my eye, I could see Drummer Boy looking at me. Suddenly he asked , "Have you ever been on T.V.?" Everyone got quiet.
"Um, no," I replied quietly.
"Really? Cause you look super familiar, like some actress..."
"Oh, really? Uh, no, wasn't me."
"Hmm. I swear I've seen you on T.V. before or something," he said with a smile. All I could do was smile and look down. Of course.
Their mom called them over, and immediately the girls pounced. "OMG, he totally likes you!" they gushed.
"Guys, shhh, shut up! We just met!"
"Yeah, but he was totally checking you out when he was playing!"
I bit my lip. Actually, he had been looking at me. I had noticed. And so had the rest of the girls it seemed. Suddenly, I had a little hope that something might come out of this...
Let's fast forward to the end of the night, shall we? I'm standing outside on the lawn, watching both guys hug and tease V one last time before they get in a car and drive away. Basically, Drummer Boy tried talking to me. He stared me down during each of his sets, tried to bump into me in the house, everything. But of course, I'm too damn shy to DO anything back. Even with all my friends trying to push me near him and get me to talk, it didn't work. I once again transformed into The Quiet Girl. Eventually, he gave up and joined his brother Guitar Boy to flirt with V, who was no doubt happy to have taken the attention off of me (yes, we're best friends, but I think we both also secretly hate each other as well. But that's a rant for another time.)
She flirted, teased, and played with them all night as I stole away to her bedroom to hide every chance I could get.
It was a very sucky night. I really liked Drummer Boy. He was nice, polite, funny...
Quiet strikes out again.
