Welcome Back to Middle School
Today was a work day unlike any other and there is a distinct possibility that I'm going on a date tonight.
Okay, I'll back up, because that's a confusing intro. I was just going about my business today, nothing unusual. Tom called to tell *Ben* that he wasn't going to work tonight. So Ben said to me, "Hey Kelly, you should ask Tom to take you out." I didn't think much of it, because that's just something that the people at work would say.
Then Allison presented me with this thinly-veiled hypothetical situation about how IF someone were to ask me to the movies tonight, would I (hypothetically, of course) say yes? I told her what Ben had told me and she just came out and told me the truth. She and Ben were thinking that Tom and I would be really cute together and mentioned something about how "we all know" that Tom has a super-huge crush on me. (We do????) So Allison and Ben took it upon themselves to make sure that neither of us was working tonight and to convince Tom that he should ask me out.
Tom doesn't know about the scheme, but I do. I'm not supposed to know. And I'm not supposed to tell Tom. This is, altogether, pretty embarrassing, especially because I can't commiserate with Tom considering that I can't tell him that it was all a set-up.
Ahhhhhhh!!
I'm also pretty hesitant about being involved with anyone. A) Anything that happens will get back to the people at work. B) I'm leaving at the end of the summer. C) I don't know if I really am in the mood to be involved with anyone, as weird as that sounds.
But it is interesting...
