complete and utter awkwardness
Today I randomly met an old classmate from high school while walking back to my apartment from campus. It was perhaps the most awkward conversation I've had with anyone in a long time. I usually fare pretty well with talking to just about anybody under any circumstances but this guy just gave me a hard time. He seemed like he was trying to dodge my questions the entire time. I hardly think of myself as having any sort of intimidating presence.
I don't think I was asking weird questions either. Initially I showed some surprise at seeing him on campus because I was under the impression he already graduated. When I asked him what he was doing around UCLA, he responded with "just dicking around." What the hell kind of an answer is that? Later on when I asked him what his plans were for the day, he gave the same answer. Maybe it's a code for playing with himself in private. I could actually care less at that point.
He never bothered to ask me how I was or what I was doing at UCLA, since I obviously wasn't there for undergrad. The only question he ever asked me was what I did for fun and if I watched anime. Any attempt I made at finding out how he was doing was futile. If you asked me right now what he's doing at UCLA, how he has been, etc., I would have absolutely no clue. My only conclusion is that he's probably embarrassed about something, since most people who are don't like to divulge their activities. Maybe he failed his classes and he couldn't graduate. So he has to stay and "dick around" some more. He left me now choice but to assume the worst. I honestly hope I don't run into him again.
