the starring role

Usually my Tuesdays are hell but I could tell just from the first minute it was going to be great.

First off, he texted me in the AM and asked me to text him when we could meet up for coffee, which I was pleasantly surprised about. I’ll get more into the actual hang out later…

Secondly, my pain in the ass RHA meeting got canceled which was friggin beautiful and I skipped my 9:30 this morning because there was absolutely no need for me to be there. I also no longer need to go to my Forensic Science class because all the notes are online. Bam. So I basically only had half my normal Tuesday.

Lastly, I got a birthday card from my grandfather who I didn’t know even had my school address that had $100 in it. That was nice, but my favorite part was the way he signed it: “Love you, Papa”. I don’t think he’s ever written Love You. Maybe just Love, Papa. Never Love You. The $100 was nice obviously I love it, but the note was so touching. The card was so cute.

Okay so back to the coffee sesh. We were gonna go to Starbucks but of course it’s packed so we went to Dunkies. I went up to order, took out my credit card, and he was like “Oh, no I got it.” and I was like “You sure?” and he goes “Yeah, yeah. I got it. Seriously. No worries.” and got me food and drink and stuff. It was just very… gentleman-like, which I always SUPER appreciate cuz guys don’t usually do that anymore. Especially as freshman in college….. And we basically ended up spending an hour and a half just talking and debating each other and teasing and joking. And not only is he cute, but I found out we have a lot in common I wouldn’t have expected. For example, me and him were both in Paris and London at the exact same times… So weird, right? And we’re awful at the same subjects, our moms are both 9 years older than our dads, our casual obsessions with Ryan Gosling, we like to debate things. It’s nice because unlike any guy I’ve ever talked to, he challenges what I say sometimes and doesn’t just agree with it. He’s a raging Republican and I’m preeetttyy liberal so you think I’d hate the kid, but I can’t. He’s really cool. Dammit haha. After that we walked back to the dorm together, and he said probably my favorite thing of the whole hour and a half: He said he was disappointed I didn’t have a Boston accent even though I’m from there. Like, when I moved to the suburbs for high school, I had to hide my accent to fit in… I just kinda lost it over the years. But the fact he LIKED it… Mindfuck. Like, it was the littlest thing but it meant a lot to me. It was like I could be myself. And then when I was in my room, he posted the link to Crazy Stupid Love on my wall (which I had said I wanted to watch during our hang out) and it was just really thoughtful. Then, like three hours later he texted me and said “I had fun today!” and I responded saying “Same! Thanks for taking me out :)” and that was it. It made me think, that he is still thinking about me hours after we hung out. Like wow he’s just a really nice guy.. I didn’t think I’d meet one of those freshman year.

Who knows where this will go if it goes anywhere, but I just had a really good time today and I wanted to write it down so I remember.
