STORY NUMBER 2: Waldo
*this story takes
place in two summers.
the school year past so fast, i think i was finishing 6 grade...
meaning that i was 13. well when summer came along, there were no new guy in my
group of friends, beside they had no mystery to them, except Ivo.
Well one day as we all started to go to the park where the boys
played soccer and we (us girls) lazy as we are would play or talk nearby. But as
we were on our way one of the guys told us he invited his cousin Waldo, and that
time I was in love!... cute, tall and older about my sisters age I think. He spent
most of his summer with my friend, so in the end with us! We only looked at each
other, no talking. Obviously I told my friends and they just supported my good choices
in guy… but they couldn’t help me.
I remember that the first time I actually spoke to him, I had just
gotten a new cel, and I was showing it off cause of the camera (seem so long
ago, with all the new technology) Waldo came straight at me and asked me for
it, I handed it over, I mean everyone was looking at it, I should tell you that
I wasn’t and still not a big fan a cell phone, yes I use it to text but I just can’t
stay on it like other people I see around, so this use of my phone taking it
out with me when I’m like right in front on my house was solely for the purpose of getting his attention, I was
jealous that one of my girl friends liked him to, we didn’t speak much in that
time. Stupid.
We talked and then the others joined in, I was glad; I didn’t want
it to be evident how I felt. So it was like this for a while, we all hung out had
fun, talked, I really thought he felt the same way, so I gave him my e-mail and
so did he.
So proud of myself, I went straight to my room and to add him… he
accepted duh! But since I’m not one to wait, I talked first on the chat; he was
sweet until it became a daily event… I would say hi the second he got online,
never in a way giving him time to say hi first… bet he wouldn’t.
I annoyed him for the longest time, it went on till October of the
next year, GOSHHHH pff… a friend from school asked me if I wanted to have a Halloween
party at my house, she would help set up light and stuff… I said ok, and we
made invitations everybody went, even my group of friends from home, including
Waldo… hahaha I still remember what he and Ivo wore, Waldo: a yellow sweatshirt
with a black 9 on the back, jeans and brown shoes, his dirty blond hair all
messy sort of like RPatz :P Ivo was better dressed a navy blue sweater a white
tee underneath jeans and sneakers J
I danced with Ivo but I talked to Waldo more than I ever had, he
even said that he liked me… I’m guessing that not in the romantic way, but
still my heart fluttered. Just like
Rufus he started to freeze me out, I mean after the party and all… summer was
back and I had plans to get him to be mine, sadly I never put them in motion cause
he didn’t come as often, and one day I wrote an e-mail saying how I felt (NEVER
EVER DO THIS!!! EVER!!!!) he didn’t respond or come back… and by the way the
guy looked at me I knew he told them, probably had a big laugh about it L idiots!
After a few years, when I was in 8th grade, I was with the girls we were about to go for a
walk with my dog… their cousin Ivo told us to answer the door, he was changing,
going out. So we did, I stood in shock, there was Waldo still cute, but not how
I remembered him, he was in college now maybe that was it, he was with a friend
and a girl (skinny, pail, all pretty) when my friends saw my face they said we
could go for a walk later, we walked back to the house.
I think something happened, cause a few min’s later Ivo’s brother
and Waldo came to the house (I should say that my friend: Liz and Kate, are Ivo’s
cousins and they all live together) he (brother) says “hey lore! Waldos here! Haha”
I was about to cry. We never went on that walk.
Next day I saw Ivo and his brother and they told me that they knew
all about the e-mail… I was embarrassed, until Ivo said that it didn’t matter,
and his brother hugged me.
I still see him, facebook and USIL, he doesn’t recognize me, but I
hide or start to use my phone to avoid a look :P
