The One That Got Away...

(Part I)

   So, it's Sista Sunday (the day me and my sister usually just hang out after church and whatnot) And among the many things we talk about, our my train of thoughts are sooo random, was "Eating Leftovers" and "The One That Got Away" Sounds funny right?

   What brings this topic about is...damn, what was it?...Umm, I think we were talking about her knuckleheaded ex? How she's barely paying him any attention (we'll have to see how long THAT lasts. Love my sis to death, but there's some kind of weird gravitational pull to that guy) and now he's calling and texting her all the time. She's all like- "Is this all I had to do?" and I'm all like- "Well, DUH!" and we got to talking about some of the guys we passed up in high school and how it would be to go out with them now.

   How come during high school, during the last couple o' months, I would always discover at least 2 guys that had some kind of crush on me? Never failed. E-V-E-R-Y year! I'd get that message in my yearbook "I always thought you were cute"  Well WOW! And you waited 'til the last week of school to give a sista girl a clue?! REALLY? And it always leave me to wonder- what if???? *cue dream sequence*

   After high school, I had a date with a "one that got away" He's a year older than me, tall mexican dude (hey- I don't discriminate) real laid-back personality. He first hit me up on MySpace (back when MySpace was on and POPPIN!) telling me how he still had the poems and notes I would write and wondered if we can hang out some time. Now, I knew he liked me back in high school but he never really acted on it. We went to the movies, went out to eat, went to Dave and Busters, and although those 3 outings were fun- I dunno. something was kinda missing. So I guess it's ok that he got away the first time

   On Facebook, Shawn contacted me. We hung out 8th and 9th grade. I always had an inkling that he liked me, but again- never acted on it (is it something about my character that intimidates guys? I PROMISE I hardly ever mean-mug) So- again- he's another one who kept all the notes we wrote back and forth (and WHAT IS WITH THAT? Guys are obviously just as sentimental as girls!) I do believe there's only a matter of time before he gathers the courage to ask me out.

   Another contact was made on Facebook. This one was from 11 YEARS AGO! We're talking about a guy I only knew for half of 7th grade year, when I lived in Atl and moved suddenly to Charlotte. WOOOOOOOW! I was BLOWN AWAY y'all. Because I had such a crush on this guy and it seemed like he liked me back- but this one chick was crazy obssessed with him and blocked my chances. So imagine my surprise when I get the message that starts off

"Are you the same --Chelle M------- that went to Campbell Middle School? If so, do you remember Chad C-------?"

HELL YEAH I REMEMBERED HIM! He was the same guy that almost ripped my heart out when he didn't dance with me at the school dance (thanks to my first case of cockblocking- middle finger to you wherever you are MORGAN!) The icing on the cake was he actually wrote that he considered me "the one that got away" back then. Say WHA?? So he asked me what I was doing for CIAA weekend, of course I'm working 3rd shift so I don't get to go to any of the parties. But nonetheless- we exchange numbers and we'll go out one night. Maybe Sunday or Monday.  With all the possibilities around the corner, why am I looking at "eating leftovers?" Part II coming!
