after all
I went to the beach with Manasvinee yesterday. It was very windy, so it wasn't too hot. That was nice. While Manasvinee and I were walking back from the beach some dude was all like, "Baby, come here!" and I didn't turn around but Manasvinee did (of course, haha) and he was like, "I have the question papers, so come over here." But he said that in Tamil and I was all wtf? Manasvinee told me that he meant that he had exam solutions, as if that would make us go over there. I thought this was hilarious, like Indians are so studious that guys try to pick girls up by bribing them with exam answers.
At about 7:30pm Shreya called me and said to come up to the terrace, where she and Manasvinee were. So I went up and heard Shreya call to me. I walked over to where she was and saw that Manasvinee was far above us. There was a really long and steep ladder leading up to a small ledge about 10 feet across, a perfect square. Just above that was a T-shaped ledge that served as a seat. Manasvinee and Shreya prompted me to go up the ladder. Manasvinee told me to hold onto the pipes lining the wall because the ladder was not fixed to the wall, and shook as I climbed. I was mortified. When I got to the top I saw that there were no railings whatsoever and the fall would be long. I think Manasvinee sensed my slight fear and told me to sit immediately. I promptly asked them how the hell they weren't scared, and they asked me if I had vertigo. I didn't want to freak them out by thinking that they had an unstable girl on a small ledge so I said I was fine. Shreya was standing so close to the edge it was weirding me out. She kept lifting her leg to stretch and I had the terrifying image of her falling. Nothing happened. We talked about their love lives and listened to Oasis on Manasvinee's phone. Manasvinee said that her boyfriend didn't like it when she was approached by other guys, but she said it like this: "He doesn't like all that romantic, dancing kind of thing from other guys." I presently started laughing, saying that I visualized some guy in a club dancing up to her like Chris Kattan or Will Ferrell all, "Hey, can I get your number?" and her being like, "No! You're dancing! My boyfriend would NOT approve." I told them about the whitewater rafting class I took a few years ago. The topics were really random. They are taking a salsa class and they unleashed some moves on me (much to my horror, as we were still on the ledge). We had a perfect view of the beach and it was really cool up there but I couldn't fully relax knowing that eventually I would have to make my way back to and down that rusty ladder. It was so skinny, and by the time we decided to go back down Manasvinee could tell I was scared and hugged me. haha Shreya went down first and then I did. Manasvinee followed after taunting me on the ladder, for fun. Jesus. I'm so glad I did it though, because it was ultimately a good idea. Of course, I can only say that because I didn't fall to my death.
Tomorrow we're going to the beach with every intention of getting soaked.
