The Waterloo Trip
Last weekend (Friday April 07 - Saturday April 08).
My exgirlfriend and her friend wanted to go to University of Waterloo for the weekend. He (my ex's friend) was going to visit his girlfriend who goes to that school. They started going out since high school. I can't believe they're still holding on strong. Hey, I thought long distant relationships are suppose to weaken that bond, but I guess they really must like each other. I was so excited that I called my green-eyed friend on the minute they discussed about it. I had to use my cell. -_- Yeah.. it was a long distance phone call. My green-eyed friend goes to that university and so does our female-gym buddy. Hey.. since my gym membership expired recently T_T I guess I should start refering to my female-gym buddy as my brown-eyed friend. Hehe, what? I ran out of ideas, ok? Besides, it's reasonable to refer her with her eye color; she and my green-eyed friend are my best friends :)
Sure I haven't known them since elementary school.. in fact I just started to get close to them in Grade 12 (senior year in high school), and that's just over one year ago!
I set everything up preparing for this Waterloo thing. I thought I would have problems with work, but it was actually with my mom -_-
I asked her and she said "no". I asked why and she directly said, "Because you'll sleep with her."
T___T She was refering to my ex-girlfriend.
Just because we started to hang out more often for the past couple of weeks, she assumes that we got back together.
>_< I can't believe my own mom just said that to me.
Then she went on explaning how I'll end up doing bad stuff like drinking and stuff.
"ME? Drink? The guy who stopped drinking carbonated drinks and barely eats junk food?" It's all true. I don't drink a lot of carbonated stuff since 2005, and since New Years of 2006 I completely stopped taking in all that stuff into my system. I guess that was one of the greatest influence my green-eyed friend gave me. He's such a health nut.
My mom then explained how if I was anything like her, then I'm bound to drink since with a group of friends. In other words she was telling me that peer pressure will get to me.
Well, she's right about that. I mean, before I asked for my mom's permission, my ex and her friend were planning on buying a lot of alcohol and drink.
>_> "I want to finally see you get drunk," she directly told me. Ever since that story came out when I got "drunk" in some girl's birthday party a couple of years ago and did some crazy stuff a lot of people expect things from me. But the truth was I only buzzed, turned red like a tomato and laughed a lot (which is how I'm like usually - the laughing thing). Some people in the party claimed I made out with some girls.. but I can't recall doing such things. Did I?
Anyways, my mom finally caved in when I kept on telling her that it wouldn't happen to me and how I'm gonna be mostly with my green-eyed friend. My mom's ok with him. Actually, I think she thinks he's a good influence on me: he bodybuilds, stays fit, and has good grades. "Go ask your dad," she said.
I asked my dad the next day and he said, "ok."
:)
Friday -
I left my house in the morning carrying my school backpack, a bag with all my spare clothes, a plastic bag with my work uniform (because I had work the next day), and a sleeping bag. It was awkward going on the bus and in the subway train to school carrying all that luggage (especially the sleeping bag), but I eventually gotten used to it.
I would've skipped school that day, but I had a Chemistry Laboratory Exam from noon to 3pm.
As usual, I finished 30 minutes early and got out by 2:30pm.
I was surprised that my ex was going afterall. She was reluctant to go at first, because she has a major Physics test on Tuesday and how she has this school even going on on Saturday. I pursauded her to go at first, because I do want her to go, but then it hit me. If she was go to.. who will she hang out with but me? She can't hang out with her friend because he'll be busy with his girlfriend. Before, she went to Waterloo to meet up with her boyfriend. Yeah.. he goes to Waterloo. They recently broke up (like a week ago) so she can't meet up with him or else it'd be really weird. So yeah.. that would mean she would have to hang out with me.
I didn't like that idea even though my feelings for her were coming back. I mean, I think I've always liked her ever since I broke up with her. So why did I break up with her in the first place? OH right.. because I was (actually still am) confused about my sexual identity!
The reason why I didn't want her to hang around with me all the time was that I want to spend my time in Waterloo with my best friends. I mean, I rarely see them. ¬_¬ even though my brown-eyed friend told me she would visit at least twice a month. But I understand in what situation she's in. It's just not do-able - too much school work. Last time I saw them was during reading week. And I also want to meet their friends. If my ex was to be with me, things would get awkward specially if I was to meet with this particular friend of my green-eyed friend. She's the flirty kind, "I can't wait to meet the boy from Toronto".
So I was relieved that she coudln't go.. but I guess she changed her mind on the last minute. My posh friend (who my ex talks to time to time because they're in the same school) told me the only reason she wanted to go was because of me. She told me how my ex still has feelings for me... that was also one of the reasons my ex broke up with her boyfriend.
I guess she still has feelings for me afterall.
I met up with my ex after my exam, and we walked to the bus terminal. It was my first time riding a Greyhound bus. And more importantly, it was my first time going out of the city by myself (err.. well, not with people older than we are)!
My family and I had been to other places, but I was only with her who's the same age as I am.
"It's not that of a big deal you know. We're just going to Waterloo," she kept on reminding me. I don't like whenever she says that. It just kills the mood. It was my first time going to Waterloo -- a place I heard so much about from my friends, but never seen it in person. It's like... one of the Wonders of the World or something.
We talked with each other throughout the entire bus ride. I'm surprised we didn't run out of things to talk about.
My ex and I met up with my green-eyed friend in his residence's lounge area. I was surprised to see him in his summer clothes. That's the great thing living in res. it's like everyday's like summer. You can go to your lectures wearing only a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. ¬_¬ well it's way better than wearing a thick winter/spring/fall jacket!
His room was small and it didn't smell like your "typical guy room". I agreed when my ex said, "It's smells like a girl's room". My green-eyed friend was taking pictures of my ex at one point while I was right beside her, sharing the same chair, and I was in the way so I bent down so my head would lay on the table. After taking the picture my green-eyed friend stood up (he was taking pictures from his bed) and just blurted out, "Hey, nice boxers! I thought underwears were only suppose to show like that with girls," he then looked at my ex and said, "yeah, he converted to boxers since I wear 'em."
O_O I couldn't believe it!!!
I wouldn't mind him commenting about my boxers and the fact that I did recently converted from briefs to boxers, but he said that in front of my ex! AND just for the record, I didn't switch to wearing boxers because he wears them too. T_T I just want to test them out. And besides... my briefs are becoming too tight on me (wow, I guess I'm still growing). Feeling embarassed, I sat up looked at my green-eyed friend and quickly looked at my ex. She smiled at me and said, "Oh yeah? Let's see."
With mixed emotions, I wasn't able to think. So I just ended up laughing and said, "Uhh, no". We dropped off our stuff and went down to the caf. My ex's friend and his girlfriend showed up and decided to have dinner at the plaza. Unfortunately my green-eyed friend had this Computational Physics Exam to write.
Dinner: It was the first time I ate raw seafood. And... it was.. alright I guess. It felt weird at first and the thought of raw fish in my mouth just amplified the weirdness, but I eventually got used to it.
We walked around campus, went to the arcades and played foosball. My ex's friend is very competitive. Like that time we went to the gym, he said it's impossible for people our size to leg press more than 60 lbs. I disagreed with him because I do more than 60 lbs. He couldn't believe it, so I had to show it to him. He would increase weight everytime I was able to do it up to... I think it went up to 100 lbs or something (can't remember that far back). In shock, he wanted to try doing 100 lbs, but he was unsuccessful. I didn't gloat or anything.. I just stood there in silence. If I was to gloat it would be like showing off, and I don't like to show off.
So anyways, we played foosball and he obviously challenged me. This would be the second time we played each other in foosball. I obviously lost -_-
I'm not a game person... well, at least not a foosball person.
The gang wanted to go to a Karaoke bar. My green-eyed friend doesn't finish his exam until 10pm-ish. So I called my brown-eyed friend and asked if she could go out. I was happy to hear that she wanted to see me. I thought with all her schoolwork, she wouldn't want to hang out. I noticed that my ex started to give out that HANG-UP-THE-GODDAMN-PHONE look to me. I know talking on your cellphone for a long time while with a group of friends is rude, but we weren't doing anything. They still had to wait until my green-eyed friend finishes his exam. Well ok.. fine.. maybe it was a bit rude, but I haven't talked with my brown-eyed friend for weeks. And we rarely ever chat online.
After having to put up with my ex's cut eyes, we went back to that caf place to wait for my green-eyed friend. We still had a few minutes to kill so we decided to play card games. The only available deck of cards was Uno. To make things interesting, we played for dares. The first dare was to chug down a bottle of juice (which wasn't that bad), but then it was the second one that had me worrying. Whoever lost will have to go on a table and pose laying down. I had a feeling I would lose, and I did -_-
There were other students in that caf., but I don't want to be one of people who would lose and not do the dare. T_T Don't you just dislike it when people do that? I mean.. they LOST!
I went on the table and did my thing. My ex's friend's girlfriend took a picture from her phone, then I just quickly went back to my seat. I noticed a lot of the students were staring at me even AFTER I finished posing >_<
The other dares weren't so bad... it was just back to chugging down a bottle of liquids.
The plan changed when my friend finally showed up. Instead, we played table tennis. We all sucked so we moved on to the next game.
Actually... I didn't the fact that we're using up our night playing games that we could play back in the city. My green-eyed friend excused himself to meet up with some Waterloo friends of his. He then messaged me saying that if I want to meet his girlfriend, then I should go to something something building. At that time we were playing Scrabble T_T
So I said be right back, and left.
I went to his girlfriend's dorm room. I met his girlfriend and his girlfriend's female-friend. Both of them were really nice, and for the first time I met someone, I didn't feel any awkwardness. Talking to them felt... natural. Maybe it was partly because his girlfriend's female-friend kept on the conversation by asking me a bunch of questions.
Half an hour later, my ex called me asking where I was. She said she needed to get her stuff from my green-eyed friend's place and walk all the way to her cousin's place (where she would stay overnight).
I somehow lost track of time and we ended up going back really late (probably 1-2 hours after the phone call).
From then on, my ex was really pissed at me for leaving her alone with her friend and her friend's girlfriend. Time to time she would say, "I hate you" to me and give me more cut eyes. A part of me told myself that I should apologize to her, but I didn't. Yeah, this may sound like I'm a total jackass, but instead of feeling guilty and bad I was more annoyed.
I was quiet throughout our walk towards her cousin's place. The couple had already left, so it was just the three of us: my ex, my green-eyed friend, and I. I would participate in their conversation time to time (with my one word answers), but I was pretty much quiet.
After dropping her off to her cousin's place, my green-eyed friend and I walked back to his residence. I set my sleeping back on the floor then realized that I would have to sleep without a pillow and on the hard floor...
I begged my friend for us to switch. If we did switch, I would get to sleep on his bed, and he would have to put up with the floor :p
¬_¬ but he's a mean friend he said "no".
"I sleep in the nude now"
I looked at him surprised, "Uhh.. no, you don't"
He slept over at my place before and he would sleep in his boxers and a sleeveless undershirt. He can't sleep completely naked! I'm in the same room!!!
"Yes, I do," he said.
"No you don't," then he just started laughing.
I changed into my sleep shirt (just a plain white T-shirt) while he stripped down to his boxers. I took out my toothbrush and then he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Gonna go brush my teeth"
"Ahh, might as well."
He led the way out of his room just wearing his underwear. Man, how can he walk around his res just in his underwear? I was right behind him and I noticed he left his door open, so I closed it. He stopped walking, slowly turned around and asked, "You did NOT just do what I think you just did. Did you close the door?"
"Uhh.. yeah.."
"YOU IDIOT! It automatically locks and my keys are inside!"
Brushing our teeth, he told me that I should go downstairs and get the his don to unlock the door. I shook my head, "I can't do that." Then I realized if any one of us has to go, then I'm the only one who wil be able to go. I at least have my pants on.
LOL, that would be funny if he had to walk around his res just in his boxers.
Fortunately, one of his res friend showed up. After hearing of what I did (by accident!) he started giving me a lecture on how out of courtesy I should be the one getting the don >_<
Then right after his lecture, he said, "Alright, fine. You know what? I'll get the don for you."
I'm sure that guy was nice and all, but the first impression I got from him was a lecture of what I should do and not do. T_T
I can't believe my green-eyed friend actually told me (in the beginning of April), "if i were to replace you as a male best friend, he would be it". He was obviously referring to that guy who just gave me a lecture.
He said he's the smartest guy in the whole building and how he's his apprentice in Smash Brothers (a video game which I suck at).
My train of thoughts about that guy and how smart he actually sounded like was interuptted by the feeling of cold water on my shirt. My green-eyed friend applied pressure to the water tap which was beside me, "You loser."
"HEY! I'm planning of sleeping in this shirt," it's true.. that's why it was called my sleep shirt T_T
"Don't take your clothes off yet. If the don comes and sees two guys together in a room.."
Then we both started laughing.
After brushing our teeth and after that whole lock thing was sorted out we went back into his room. He put on a movie, Dawn of the Dead. I think he put it on so we could just fall asleep while watching it.. but the problem was that I never seen that movie (or at least I don't remember ever watching that movie), so I stayed up. He stayed up throughout the movie too.
By the time the movie ended it was already 5:30am! And we planned on meeting up with our brown-eyed friend at 9am to exercise. After the movie, he put on an interesting Dragonball Z episode. "Don't worry.. it's only 20 minutes," he said.
Twenty mintues later, I kept having to go to the washroom to pee. -_- The cons of having to drink a lot of water. The bum had to open the window too >_<
I was already feeling cold without any shirt on. Doesn't he know it would be colder for me because I'm on the floor? Heh, like I said.. he's a mean friend.. LOL.
"Why are you making so much noise?" he asked me.
"Umm.. I gotta put my jeans on and go to the washroom to pee."
"Just go. You don't have to put your pants on"
I made up an excuse and said, "It's cold". Well, that's partly true, but I was more worried that I might bump into someone on the way to the washroom. Sure it was only guys on that floor, but I'm shy when it comes to my body. I could just picture it: they see me with just my boxers on and they would laugh and say, "ohh, you're so skinny!".
I got fed up having to go the third time to the washroom, and I complained.
"Why don't you just go in a bottle?"
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah. Just grab an empty one and... go."
I guess he got fed up with me having to "make noises" and complain. Haha.
And so.. I did.
It was awkward at first.. but hey.. if you really gotta go then you gotta go.
Plus, everytime I get back from the washroom, the room felt colder than when I first left.
We ended up sleeping at 6am. I could see the sunrise from the window right before I closed my eyes.
As usual he fell asleep first.
Saturday -
Our alarms went off on the right time - 8am, but neither of us got up. It was at around 11:30am when I finally decided to get up --- I had to pee... again LOL
Man... drinking a lot of water sure has its disadvantages.
I snooped around his room looking for this specific CD with a letter inside from our brown-eyed friend. He showed it to me last night, but he never gave me the chance to read it. I normally wouldn't snoop around someone's room specially while they're asleep, but hey, we're friends right?
"I'm gonna take a shower soon," he said with his morning voice. By that time I was looking through his shelf. 'Does he know I'm looking for it?' I looked at him and his eyes were closed, so I continued snooping around. Sadly I didn't find it -_-
I had to borrow a towel from him. I would've brought my own, but my ex told me not to overpack and that I can always borrow one. I hope he didn't find it weird - another guy borrowing his towel. I mean, I was shocked when he said I was the first guy to ever sleep in his room. So on the way to the shower room, he handed me a bar of soap and told me that he'll give me the shampoo as soon as he's done with it.
There are three designated showers all in one side in that shower room. Each shower has its own stall (thank god!). The middle stall was already occupied by the time we got there. He took the first one and I took the third one. The whole environment was different. I don't think I can ever get used to showering in another place other than my own shower at home. So while soaping myself up multiple of times (he was taking quite a long time with the shampoo), I thought about my Grade 7 school trip to Mono Cliffs. Mono Cliffs is this camping ground where the school stayed for a week. That was actually my first time away from home for a full week! The first time I took a shower in Mono Cliffs I didn't know how to adjust the water temperature so I had to put up with cold water. Ahaha, I think that was the fastest shower I had ever taken. So back to soaping myself up in my green-eyed friend's residence, I tiptoed to see if he was done with the shampoo. He tiptoed as well so we could see each other. He gave a throwing gesture and I nodded. Quietly he threw the shampoo bottle across the room. I wondered if the guy in the middle was aware that a shampoo bottle just went across at the top of his head. I somehow missed catching.. hmm, weird.
He finished before I did. And that dude in the middle was still in the shower. Wow, how long can a guy take a shower? He was in there before we went in, and he was still in there after my shower. I went back to his room. He was already dressed -- well, kinna. He was wearing the boxers than our brown-eyed friend bought him a few weeks ago and he showed it to me. It was funny. It had a kissing lips picture on the front and on the back it has the words, "I'm Yours".
"Somebody used a lot of soap," he commented when he saw the bar of soap I was holding. Then I thought, 'Well, yeah. What else can I do in the shower? Play with myself?' I had to soap up myself multiple of times with multiple layers because he was taking his time with the shampoo bottle T_T
My ex's exboyfriend called me a few times, "Is she there with you?"
I have a feeling he wants to get back with her.
My ex's friend called me as well. He asked if I want to have lunch with them at the plaza, but I turned down his offer.
My brown-eyed friend called and asked if we want join her for breakfast in her residence. We obviously said "Yes". We were suppose to meet up with her at the gym at 9am.. but we slept in ^^"
He was taking his sweet time walking toward the other residence, while I was freezing my butt off outside until our green-eyed friend shouted, "Hurry up!" from a distance. Then we just ran for it. I think I won the race :)
Her residence was nicer than his. The food was unlimited! "Get me something to eat," I ordered her. She gave us mashed potatoes, eggs, a burrito, and cookies. "Get me something to drink," I told her.
"What do you want?"
"Urm... apple juice?"
"Ok" She seemed ok with me bossing her around. Well, I wasn't seriously bossing her around like a bossy person. We're close friends, so such thing wouldn't even be categorized as bossing around.
While eating, she whispered at my ear, "That's him right there."
I looked a few tables in front of me and saw a group of guys. She pointed out her boyfriend. "So... what do you think?"
"Oh.. he's.. ok."
Then she asked me to elaborate on what I think about him -- appearance wise. "You seem to know the type of guys I like," she told me. I laughed and thought, 'Yeah.. it's because I checked them out too'
If she knew about this side of me, then I would've said that aloud, but at that time she doesn't even now the URL for this journal.
A few minutes later, her boyfriend came over and then she introduced us, "This is Skinny Boy Number 1," she told him and pointed at me. I said "Hi" and then she turned to me and said, "And this is Skinny Boy Number 2". LOL, I guess I still have my title as the Skinny Boy.
"Get me more apple juice," I told my brown-eyed friend. Then her boyfriend said, "I'll do it". So while he was away, she and I were talking about him.
"So..? What do you think?"
"He looks nicer in person than in those pictures you sent me. Or maybe I'm just saying that because he's getting me apple juice."
What I said about him to her was true though. He does look better in person than in person. And from the first impression I got from him, he seems like one of those guys that are nice, sweet, and shy.
Too bad her boyfriend has an exam to write, else I would've gotten to know him better. I told her I want to see her room before I leave, and so she gave me a tour of her residence.
The three of us took pictures in her room. There were some really nice shots, but most of the good ones are in her camera ¬_¬
I wonder when she's gonna send it to me.
If it wasn't for my stupid job (a 5pm-shift), I would've stayed in Waterloo and frolic around campus. I only got to stay in her residence for less than an hour. How unfair is that?
I said my goodbyes to my friends, and met up with my ex, her friend, and her friend's girlfriend. We took the taxi to the bus terminal and hopped onto a Greyhound Bus. I was really sleepy, but they want to play Family Feud (my ex's friend has the game in his laptop). Obviously the couple was a "family" by default, so my ex and I had to team up. My ex forced me to play so in order to see the laptop screen I had to lean over across my ex's lap. At one point I got really tired so I just layed my head (face down) on my ex's lap - close to her stomach. It took a while for me realize that I was in such an unusual position. If we were to switch places, people would think she was giving me a blow job. Even though my ex didn't complain I didn't stay in that position for long. I wouldn't want her to get the wrong impression.
I do want to get back with her, but she's looking for a serious relationship. And according from a reliable source, my ex really wants to get back with me and start a serious relationship. The problem with that is I don't want to get into a serious relationship (right now anyways). Oh.. Don't get me wrong... I do like her. And I don't want to get back with her just for fooling around. I mean, I do care for her.
Well, that was our Waterloo trip.
I learned how my ex could be needy, and how things could turn out if I was to get back with her. As of now, I decided that I'm not going to start anything with her.
That may change... who knows.
Right now I don't have anybody in mind. Not even a single crush.
Well, I guess I'm back to my neutral self, huh.
My exgirlfriend and her friend wanted to go to University of Waterloo for the weekend. He (my ex's friend) was going to visit his girlfriend who goes to that school. They started going out since high school. I can't believe they're still holding on strong. Hey, I thought long distant relationships are suppose to weaken that bond, but I guess they really must like each other. I was so excited that I called my green-eyed friend on the minute they discussed about it. I had to use my cell. -_- Yeah.. it was a long distance phone call. My green-eyed friend goes to that university and so does our female-gym buddy. Hey.. since my gym membership expired recently T_T I guess I should start refering to my female-gym buddy as my brown-eyed friend. Hehe, what? I ran out of ideas, ok? Besides, it's reasonable to refer her with her eye color; she and my green-eyed friend are my best friends :)
Sure I haven't known them since elementary school.. in fact I just started to get close to them in Grade 12 (senior year in high school), and that's just over one year ago!
I set everything up preparing for this Waterloo thing. I thought I would have problems with work, but it was actually with my mom -_-
I asked her and she said "no". I asked why and she directly said, "Because you'll sleep with her."
T___T She was refering to my ex-girlfriend.
Just because we started to hang out more often for the past couple of weeks, she assumes that we got back together.
>_< I can't believe my own mom just said that to me.
Then she went on explaning how I'll end up doing bad stuff like drinking and stuff.
"ME? Drink? The guy who stopped drinking carbonated drinks and barely eats junk food?" It's all true. I don't drink a lot of carbonated stuff since 2005, and since New Years of 2006 I completely stopped taking in all that stuff into my system. I guess that was one of the greatest influence my green-eyed friend gave me. He's such a health nut.
My mom then explained how if I was anything like her, then I'm bound to drink since with a group of friends. In other words she was telling me that peer pressure will get to me.
Well, she's right about that. I mean, before I asked for my mom's permission, my ex and her friend were planning on buying a lot of alcohol and drink.
>_> "I want to finally see you get drunk," she directly told me. Ever since that story came out when I got "drunk" in some girl's birthday party a couple of years ago and did some crazy stuff a lot of people expect things from me. But the truth was I only buzzed, turned red like a tomato and laughed a lot (which is how I'm like usually - the laughing thing). Some people in the party claimed I made out with some girls.. but I can't recall doing such things. Did I?
Anyways, my mom finally caved in when I kept on telling her that it wouldn't happen to me and how I'm gonna be mostly with my green-eyed friend. My mom's ok with him. Actually, I think she thinks he's a good influence on me: he bodybuilds, stays fit, and has good grades. "Go ask your dad," she said.
I asked my dad the next day and he said, "ok."
:)
Friday -
I left my house in the morning carrying my school backpack, a bag with all my spare clothes, a plastic bag with my work uniform (because I had work the next day), and a sleeping bag. It was awkward going on the bus and in the subway train to school carrying all that luggage (especially the sleeping bag), but I eventually gotten used to it.

If my ex was to be with me, things would get awkward specially if I was to meet with this particular friend of my green-eyed friend. She's the flirty kind, "I can't wait to meet the boy from Toronto".

I guess she still has feelings for me afterall.
I met up with my ex after my exam, and we walked to the bus terminal. It was my first time riding a Greyhound bus. And more importantly, it was my first time going out of the city by myself (err.. well, not with people older than we are)!
My family and I had been to other places, but I was only with her who's the same age as I am.
"It's not that of a big deal you know. We're just going to Waterloo," she kept on reminding me. I don't like whenever she says that. It just kills the mood. It was my first time going to Waterloo -- a place I heard so much about from my friends, but never seen it in person. It's like... one of the Wonders of the World or something.
We talked with each other throughout the entire bus ride. I'm surprised we didn't run out of things to talk about.
My ex and I met up with my green-eyed friend in his residence's lounge area. I was surprised to see him in his summer clothes. That's the great thing living in res. it's like everyday's like summer. You can go to your lectures wearing only a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. ¬_¬ well it's way better than wearing a thick winter/spring/fall jacket!
His room was small and it didn't smell like your "typical guy room". I agreed when my ex said, "It's smells like a girl's room". My green-eyed friend was taking pictures of my ex at one point while I was right beside her, sharing the same chair, and I was in the way so I bent down so my head would lay on the table. After taking the picture my green-eyed friend stood up (he was taking pictures from his bed) and just blurted out, "Hey, nice boxers! I thought underwears were only suppose to show like that with girls," he then looked at my ex and said, "yeah, he converted to boxers since I wear 'em."
O_O I couldn't believe it!!!
I wouldn't mind him commenting about my boxers and the fact that I did recently converted from briefs to boxers, but he said that in front of my ex! AND just for the record, I didn't switch to wearing boxers because he wears them too. T_T I just want to test them out. And besides... my briefs are becoming too tight on me (wow, I guess I'm still growing). Feeling embarassed, I sat up looked at my green-eyed friend and quickly looked at my ex. She smiled at me and said, "Oh yeah? Let's see."
With mixed emotions, I wasn't able to think. So I just ended up laughing and said, "Uhh, no". We dropped off our stuff and went down to the caf. My ex's friend and his girlfriend showed up and decided to have dinner at the plaza. Unfortunately my green-eyed friend had this Computational Physics Exam to write.
Dinner: It was the first time I ate raw seafood. And... it was.. alright I guess. It felt weird at first and the thought of raw fish in my mouth just amplified the weirdness, but I eventually got used to it.
We walked around campus, went to the arcades and played foosball. My ex's friend is very competitive. Like that time we went to the gym, he said it's impossible for people our size to leg press more than 60 lbs. I disagreed with him because I do more than 60 lbs. He couldn't believe it, so I had to show it to him. He would increase weight everytime I was able to do it up to... I think it went up to 100 lbs or something (can't remember that far back). In shock, he wanted to try doing 100 lbs, but he was unsuccessful. I didn't gloat or anything.. I just stood there in silence. If I was to gloat it would be like showing off, and I don't like to show off.
So anyways, we played foosball and he obviously challenged me. This would be the second time we played each other in foosball. I obviously lost -_-
I'm not a game person... well, at least not a foosball person.
The gang wanted to go to a Karaoke bar. My green-eyed friend doesn't finish his exam until 10pm-ish. So I called my brown-eyed friend and asked if she could go out. I was happy to hear that she wanted to see me. I thought with all her schoolwork, she wouldn't want to hang out. I noticed that my ex started to give out that HANG-UP-THE-GODDAMN-PHONE look to me. I know talking on your cellphone for a long time while with a group of friends is rude, but we weren't doing anything. They still had to wait until my green-eyed friend finishes his exam. Well ok.. fine.. maybe it was a bit rude, but I haven't talked with my brown-eyed friend for weeks. And we rarely ever chat online.
After having to put up with my ex's cut eyes, we went back to that caf place to wait for my green-eyed friend. We still had a few minutes to kill so we decided to play card games. The only available deck of cards was Uno. To make things interesting, we played for dares. The first dare was to chug down a bottle of juice (which wasn't that bad), but then it was the second one that had me worrying. Whoever lost will have to go on a table and pose laying down. I had a feeling I would lose, and I did -_-
There were other students in that caf., but I don't want to be one of people who would lose and not do the dare. T_T Don't you just dislike it when people do that? I mean.. they LOST!
I went on the table and did my thing. My ex's friend's girlfriend took a picture from her phone, then I just quickly went back to my seat. I noticed a lot of the students were staring at me even AFTER I finished posing >_<
The other dares weren't so bad... it was just back to chugging down a bottle of liquids.
The plan changed when my friend finally showed up. Instead, we played table tennis. We all sucked so we moved on to the next game.
Actually... I didn't the fact that we're using up our night playing games that we could play back in the city. My green-eyed friend excused himself to meet up with some Waterloo friends of his. He then messaged me saying that if I want to meet his girlfriend, then I should go to something something building. At that time we were playing Scrabble T_T
So I said be right back, and left.
I went to his girlfriend's dorm room. I met his girlfriend and his girlfriend's female-friend. Both of them were really nice, and for the first time I met someone, I didn't feel any awkwardness. Talking to them felt... natural. Maybe it was partly because his girlfriend's female-friend kept on the conversation by asking me a bunch of questions.
Half an hour later, my ex called me asking where I was. She said she needed to get her stuff from my green-eyed friend's place and walk all the way to her cousin's place (where she would stay overnight).
I somehow lost track of time and we ended up going back really late (probably 1-2 hours after the phone call).
From then on, my ex was really pissed at me for leaving her alone with her friend and her friend's girlfriend. Time to time she would say, "I hate you" to me and give me more cut eyes. A part of me told myself that I should apologize to her, but I didn't. Yeah, this may sound like I'm a total jackass, but instead of feeling guilty and bad I was more annoyed.
I was quiet throughout our walk towards her cousin's place. The couple had already left, so it was just the three of us: my ex, my green-eyed friend, and I. I would participate in their conversation time to time (with my one word answers), but I was pretty much quiet.
After dropping her off to her cousin's place, my green-eyed friend and I walked back to his residence. I set my sleeping back on the floor then realized that I would have to sleep without a pillow and on the hard floor...
I begged my friend for us to switch. If we did switch, I would get to sleep on his bed, and he would have to put up with the floor :p
¬_¬ but he's a mean friend he said "no".
"I sleep in the nude now"
I looked at him surprised, "Uhh.. no, you don't"
He slept over at my place before and he would sleep in his boxers and a sleeveless undershirt. He can't sleep completely naked! I'm in the same room!!!
"Yes, I do," he said.
"No you don't," then he just started laughing.
I changed into my sleep shirt (just a plain white T-shirt) while he stripped down to his boxers. I took out my toothbrush and then he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Gonna go brush my teeth"
"Ahh, might as well."
He led the way out of his room just wearing his underwear. Man, how can he walk around his res just in his underwear? I was right behind him and I noticed he left his door open, so I closed it. He stopped walking, slowly turned around and asked, "You did NOT just do what I think you just did. Did you close the door?"
"Uhh.. yeah.."
"YOU IDIOT! It automatically locks and my keys are inside!"
Brushing our teeth, he told me that I should go downstairs and get the his don to unlock the door. I shook my head, "I can't do that." Then I realized if any one of us has to go, then I'm the only one who wil be able to go. I at least have my pants on.
LOL, that would be funny if he had to walk around his res just in his boxers.
Fortunately, one of his res friend showed up. After hearing of what I did (by accident!) he started giving me a lecture on how out of courtesy I should be the one getting the don >_<
Then right after his lecture, he said, "Alright, fine. You know what? I'll get the don for you."
I'm sure that guy was nice and all, but the first impression I got from him was a lecture of what I should do and not do. T_T
I can't believe my green-eyed friend actually told me (in the beginning of April), "if i were to replace you as a male best friend, he would be it". He was obviously referring to that guy who just gave me a lecture.
He said he's the smartest guy in the whole building and how he's his apprentice in Smash Brothers (a video game which I suck at).
My train of thoughts about that guy and how smart he actually sounded like was interuptted by the feeling of cold water on my shirt. My green-eyed friend applied pressure to the water tap which was beside me, "You loser."
"HEY! I'm planning of sleeping in this shirt," it's true.. that's why it was called my sleep shirt T_T
"Don't take your clothes off yet. If the don comes and sees two guys together in a room.."
Then we both started laughing.
After brushing our teeth and after that whole lock thing was sorted out we went back into his room. He put on a movie, Dawn of the Dead. I think he put it on so we could just fall asleep while watching it.. but the problem was that I never seen that movie (or at least I don't remember ever watching that movie), so I stayed up. He stayed up throughout the movie too.
By the time the movie ended it was already 5:30am! And we planned on meeting up with our brown-eyed friend at 9am to exercise. After the movie, he put on an interesting Dragonball Z episode. "Don't worry.. it's only 20 minutes," he said.
Twenty mintues later, I kept having to go to the washroom to pee. -_- The cons of having to drink a lot of water. The bum had to open the window too >_<
I was already feeling cold without any shirt on. Doesn't he know it would be colder for me because I'm on the floor? Heh, like I said.. he's a mean friend.. LOL.
"Why are you making so much noise?" he asked me.
"Umm.. I gotta put my jeans on and go to the washroom to pee."
"Just go. You don't have to put your pants on"
I made up an excuse and said, "It's cold". Well, that's partly true, but I was more worried that I might bump into someone on the way to the washroom. Sure it was only guys on that floor, but I'm shy when it comes to my body. I could just picture it: they see me with just my boxers on and they would laugh and say, "ohh, you're so skinny!".
I got fed up having to go the third time to the washroom, and I complained.
"Why don't you just go in a bottle?"
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah. Just grab an empty one and... go."
I guess he got fed up with me having to "make noises" and complain. Haha.
And so.. I did.
It was awkward at first.. but hey.. if you really gotta go then you gotta go.
Plus, everytime I get back from the washroom, the room felt colder than when I first left.
We ended up sleeping at 6am. I could see the sunrise from the window right before I closed my eyes.
As usual he fell asleep first.
Saturday -
Our alarms went off on the right time - 8am, but neither of us got up. It was at around 11:30am when I finally decided to get up --- I had to pee... again LOL
Man... drinking a lot of water sure has its disadvantages.
I snooped around his room looking for this specific CD with a letter inside from our brown-eyed friend. He showed it to me last night, but he never gave me the chance to read it. I normally wouldn't snoop around someone's room specially while they're asleep, but hey, we're friends right?
"I'm gonna take a shower soon," he said with his morning voice. By that time I was looking through his shelf. 'Does he know I'm looking for it?' I looked at him and his eyes were closed, so I continued snooping around. Sadly I didn't find it -_-
I had to borrow a towel from him. I would've brought my own, but my ex told me not to overpack and that I can always borrow one. I hope he didn't find it weird - another guy borrowing his towel. I mean, I was shocked when he said I was the first guy to ever sleep in his room. So on the way to the shower room, he handed me a bar of soap and told me that he'll give me the shampoo as soon as he's done with it.
There are three designated showers all in one side in that shower room. Each shower has its own stall (thank god!). The middle stall was already occupied by the time we got there. He took the first one and I took the third one. The whole environment was different. I don't think I can ever get used to showering in another place other than my own shower at home. So while soaping myself up multiple of times (he was taking quite a long time with the shampoo), I thought about my Grade 7 school trip to Mono Cliffs. Mono Cliffs is this camping ground where the school stayed for a week. That was actually my first time away from home for a full week! The first time I took a shower in Mono Cliffs I didn't know how to adjust the water temperature so I had to put up with cold water. Ahaha, I think that was the fastest shower I had ever taken. So back to soaping myself up in my green-eyed friend's residence, I tiptoed to see if he was done with the shampoo. He tiptoed as well so we could see each other. He gave a throwing gesture and I nodded. Quietly he threw the shampoo bottle across the room. I wondered if the guy in the middle was aware that a shampoo bottle just went across at the top of his head. I somehow missed catching.. hmm, weird.
He finished before I did. And that dude in the middle was still in the shower. Wow, how long can a guy take a shower? He was in there before we went in, and he was still in there after my shower. I went back to his room. He was already dressed -- well, kinna. He was wearing the boxers than our brown-eyed friend bought him a few weeks ago and he showed it to me. It was funny. It had a kissing lips picture on the front and on the back it has the words, "I'm Yours".
"Somebody used a lot of soap," he commented when he saw the bar of soap I was holding. Then I thought, 'Well, yeah. What else can I do in the shower? Play with myself?' I had to soap up myself multiple of times with multiple layers because he was taking his time with the shampoo bottle T_T
My ex's exboyfriend called me a few times, "Is she there with you?"
I have a feeling he wants to get back with her.
My ex's friend called me as well. He asked if I want to have lunch with them at the plaza, but I turned down his offer.
My brown-eyed friend called and asked if we want join her for breakfast in her residence. We obviously said "Yes". We were suppose to meet up with her at the gym at 9am.. but we slept in ^^"
He was taking his sweet time walking toward the other residence, while I was freezing my butt off outside until our green-eyed friend shouted, "Hurry up!" from a distance. Then we just ran for it. I think I won the race :)
Her residence was nicer than his. The food was unlimited! "Get me something to eat," I ordered her. She gave us mashed potatoes, eggs, a burrito, and cookies. "Get me something to drink," I told her.
"What do you want?"
"Urm... apple juice?"
"Ok" She seemed ok with me bossing her around. Well, I wasn't seriously bossing her around like a bossy person. We're close friends, so such thing wouldn't even be categorized as bossing around.
While eating, she whispered at my ear, "That's him right there."
I looked a few tables in front of me and saw a group of guys. She pointed out her boyfriend. "So... what do you think?"
"Oh.. he's.. ok."
Then she asked me to elaborate on what I think about him -- appearance wise. "You seem to know the type of guys I like," she told me. I laughed and thought, 'Yeah.. it's because I checked them out too'
If she knew about this side of me, then I would've said that aloud, but at that time she doesn't even now the URL for this journal.
A few minutes later, her boyfriend came over and then she introduced us, "This is Skinny Boy Number 1," she told him and pointed at me. I said "Hi" and then she turned to me and said, "And this is Skinny Boy Number 2". LOL, I guess I still have my title as the Skinny Boy.
"Get me more apple juice," I told my brown-eyed friend. Then her boyfriend said, "I'll do it". So while he was away, she and I were talking about him.
"So..? What do you think?"
"He looks nicer in person than in those pictures you sent me. Or maybe I'm just saying that because he's getting me apple juice."
What I said about him to her was true though. He does look better in person than in person. And from the first impression I got from him, he seems like one of those guys that are nice, sweet, and shy.
Too bad her boyfriend has an exam to write, else I would've gotten to know him better. I told her I want to see her room before I leave, and so she gave me a tour of her residence.
The three of us took pictures in her room. There were some really nice shots, but most of the good ones are in her camera ¬_¬
I wonder when she's gonna send it to me.
If it wasn't for my stupid job (a 5pm-shift), I would've stayed in Waterloo and frolic around campus. I only got to stay in her residence for less than an hour. How unfair is that?
I said my goodbyes to my friends, and met up with my ex, her friend, and her friend's girlfriend. We took the taxi to the bus terminal and hopped onto a Greyhound Bus. I was really sleepy, but they want to play Family Feud (my ex's friend has the game in his laptop). Obviously the couple was a "family" by default, so my ex and I had to team up. My ex forced me to play so in order to see the laptop screen I had to lean over across my ex's lap. At one point I got really tired so I just layed my head (face down) on my ex's lap - close to her stomach. It took a while for me realize that I was in such an unusual position. If we were to switch places, people would think she was giving me a blow job. Even though my ex didn't complain I didn't stay in that position for long. I wouldn't want her to get the wrong impression.
I do want to get back with her, but she's looking for a serious relationship. And according from a reliable source, my ex really wants to get back with me and start a serious relationship. The problem with that is I don't want to get into a serious relationship (right now anyways). Oh.. Don't get me wrong... I do like her. And I don't want to get back with her just for fooling around. I mean, I do care for her.
Well, that was our Waterloo trip.
I learned how my ex could be needy, and how things could turn out if I was to get back with her. As of now, I decided that I'm not going to start anything with her.
That may change... who knows.
Right now I don't have anybody in mind. Not even a single crush.
Well, I guess I'm back to my neutral self, huh.
