um, well the entry had a limit so here's wonton, and david's up top.
basically my cty trip took up 3 entries, yup.
so…me and wonton….
wonton was one of the kids in the animal science class, and I sorta heard a lot about him since evry1 else in my hall except me, chels, and heidi was in animal science. I heard that he was a bit crazy and funny, and my “acquaintance-crush†as I’ll call it, all started at the first dance.
the theme for the first dance was rappers, poppers, and teeny-boppers (I kno rite? sheesh!) so anywayyz, it was an awesome first dance, with the huge gym and lights off wit the awesome blaring music.
since no1 cept phil knew me ovr there, all strings were off. me and my hall danced like crazy, but what I was really hopin 4 was sum guy 2 come ovr and dance wit us. eventually, some sorta-short asian guy wearing a white gansta outfit came ovr wit his friends and started dancin wit us. I didn’t even kno who he was, but eventually I guessed he noticed me too. we started copying each othrs dance moves, and I could sense a connection - I guess othrs saw it too, cuz clare came ovr 2 me and whispered in my ear “hes dancing wit u!â€, I was like, “no duh.†it was pretty awesome, cuz that boi could dance! breakdance, freestyle, whatevr. it was really kool, even tho I didn’t kno whu the hell he wuz.
and so during that week, all I looked forward 2 was the next dance. I was also still hung up on david, so I was waiting 4 that slowdance, and the boi actually faded from my mind that 2nd wk. at the second dance, tho, he was back there again wit his friendz and my hall. we all danced in a big circle, and eventually, I noticed that our circle was one of the main ones. ppl began joining us and stuff, and the boi ended up showing off more of his kool moves. by the end of the dance tho, I was so worn out that when they played the last song (which was alwayz “american pie†- its like the theme song of CTY that evry1 moshes 2 at the end) I just sat by the wall cuz I was sooo tired. when evry1 sat back down at the floor at the end of the dance (we alwayz assemble at the end so we can leave in our RA groups) he sat down next to me and was like, “I didn’t see u there. why didn’t u dance?†[[referring to the last song]]. I was like, “omg, I’m too tired!†I smiled, and I also figured that that must mean he was looking round 4 me 2 - its not like I was the only one whu sat out 4 moshing 2 “American Pieâ€.
it was awesome.
and then the next day I found out whu he was. wynton from animal science, othrwise called wonton.
I also found out how crazy he was. on the next Monday night after social time, us grls were walking back 2 our stonewalls. the grls r Stonewalls 3 and 4, so we alwayz hav 2 pass the guyz in stonewalls 1 n 2 - which was alwayz fun. there was alwayz some guy wit his shirt off, or sum crazy idiot yelling out the window. the nite, however, I was walking past the first window of the first floor in stonewall 2 -
and saw wonton wit his shirt off. with a bunch of othr guyz.
hahaha, I hav 2 admit I WAS entertained.
and then, like the next day or sumthng, i was sitting wit heidi, phil, david, and chels. my back was towards the aisle, and all of a sudden, sum1 tapped me on my right shoulder. naturally i looked to the rite, but no1 was there. i looked to the left really quick, and i saw wonton walking away.
i couldnt stop smiling after that, and rite after i looked ovr at chels and heidi, they started going, "Ooooooooo!" david and phil didnt notice anything and were like, "What?"
and then l8r that week, I got a bit pissed out at heidi. I finally decided that I did hav a crush on wonton, and of course I told heidi and chels. (which also means the whole hall found out, but they werent 2 loud and I trusted them).
but of course heidi had to tell wonton.
what was weird tho, was that heidi told me on one morning that week that she was gonna tell wonton. I begged her not 2, but she wouldn’t stop. rite b4 lunch, clare came ovr 2 me and said, “I don’t kno how, but wonton found out u like him!†I was like, dammit, heidi but when I confronted her l8r, she swore 2 me that she hadnt told him yet. by then, tho, i was all GREAT!!, this is just great...
the following days were all a bit awkward, but i acted like i didnt really like him. after all, it was just an "acquaintance-crush".
at any one of the three dailiy meals, there was alwayz at least one time where i'd go 2 dish return and he'd b coming behind me, in front of me, or coming from the side. it was like, he LIKED torturing me (lolz.) and then there was a time when i went straight to the bathroom from the lunch room. wen i came out l8r, chelsea told me that wonton was behind me and that he thought i was running away from him. i didnt even kno he'd been behind me!
and then there was that time when claire found a bunch of pinecones. i was sitting on the quad next 2 her, and she was like, "I feel like throwing these at sum1." she threw them at chris, who just happened to be next to wonton! i was like omg. chris was going 2 throw it back at claire, but then wonton took the pinecone and whispered sumthng into chris's ear. they got up and on the way ovr, they picked up a bunch of othr pinecones.
if u ask me, i'd say i was a bystander. however, that shower of pinecones hit me as much as it hit her, lolz.
and then there was anothr time on the quad when we were about to go 2 class. my TA (teaching assistant) couldnt find heidi and chels b/c they were alwayz off 2gethr sumwhere. i saw them in a crowd around a tree, and when i went ovr, i was like, "guys, we're going 2 class now!". they were in a group watching guys do chin-ups on a tree branch. when i looked around, i saw wonton, so i was more, "LET'S GO!!!" and then i looked at wonton again and he spotted me. he immediately stepped forward and tried 2 do a chin-up. he couldnt do it! lolz. and then rite after he gave up, an RA was like, "go 2 ur classess now!"
now that i think back on it, that must've been embarrassing for him.
and then finally, there was the dance. i was talkin wit chelsea and heidi, and they were like, "You should ask him to the dance!!" i was like, "Not TO THE dance, but i WILL ask him TO dance."
i'd been giving it a lot of thought, and i realized that this last dance had betta be worth it. it would be our last major congregation 2gether. i couldnt b sure that i'd see evry1 tomorrow, b/c a lot of ppl were leaving early. so i decided that all strings were off - i would ask wonton 2 dance.
on thurs. i was already having doubts. especially after clare told me he had a g/f back home.
oops. lolz
at the dance, i danced as usual, and wonton joined our group as usual. chels and heidi were getting annoying tho - one time they came ovr and pulled me and wonton aside. they were yelling at me and were saying, "Dance wit him!" and then they SHOVED me into him, and i basically crashed into him. i was like, what was the point 2 that???&at the first slowdance after that tho, wonton walked out of the gym wit his friends. i was so let down.
around this time, heidi came ovr and was like, "You've gotta ask him!" i was like, "I will, but he left the gym 4 this song." she was like, "That's too bad."
a few songs l8r aftr wonton came back in the gym, heidi came ovr 2 me and told me that she had asked him to dance wit 4 me.
i was really angry. i thought, i would've have done it! i could have, and i WANTED to do it!!
and after that, it was really awkward. its not like we were grinding, but wonton started dancing behind me. it was reallky weird, but i basically just kept dancing like he wasnt there. occasionally tho, i would look back at him so he didnt feel like i didnt notice him.
after awhile (thank god) he moved to the othr side of the circle. and then we were just dancing normally, but 4 some reason, i must hav been dancing dirtier than usual (unless chels and heidi just planned it 2gether) because i did a move and then they pulled me ovr and started yelling ovr the music, "oh no, no, no!! BAD GIRL!!" like i did do a relaly naughty move. i was like, "WTF???? i'd already been dancing this way!"
and also divia and chris were in the center of the smaller-than-usual circle, and divia kept going, "Oh! i like that!" when i'd pull off a move and "Go Irene!" and then after those, me and claire were dancing next 2 each othr. it was "get low" and we planned a move (u kno, that move when u drop to the floor, and then u go up with ur butt out?) at the same time, and chris was like, "wow, u guyz kno how 2 dance!"
my confidence went rite up aftr that.
and then at about 9:30, there was a slow song. i thought it mite be the last one, so i was looking around for wonton, but he'd left the gym again. he came back a moment l8r tho, and i thought that he realized that it mite be the last slow song too, so he started walkin ovr 2 me (i was on the bleachers). i looked off ovr the gym cuz i thought he was coming ovr to ask me. after like a minute tho, i looked back straight, and he had sat down on the bench in front of me! i was like, here goes! and i went, "Wonton." he turned around.
i said, "You wanna dance?"
he was like, "yeah." and we got up.
he followed me onto the floor, and i walked a bit into the crowd and then stopped. i put my arms around him, and his hands were on my waist, and we just swayed.
so here are some of my revelations:
1. wonton was TERRIBLY offbeat. and when i tried to slow him down, he wouldnt give in, so i just went along with it so it wouldn't look like we couldn't dance 2gethr.
2. that was the first time i slowdanced wit a guy (i'm pathetic, i kno) and turns out i'm not that bad.
3. height matters (lucky me, we were the same height, but me and david weren't)
4. it was as awkward as i had imagined.
but still, i couldn't believe it! he'd said yes, even if he did hav a g/f. but it was a really awkward dance, with us just looking ovr each othr's shoulders. i wished that chels was dancing next 2 us or sumthng, cuz then i could grin at her when wonton was facing the othr direction, but no, i wasn't that lucky for such a distraction. i gazed up into his face a few times; the first time, he had been looking at me, but then he looked away, and the times after that, i just looked up into his face and studied it, basically. lolz, i noticed that his eyes were too far apart. lolololololz.
at then end of the song (which we were both waiting for, btw) i said, "Thanx." cuz i really didnt think he would dance wit me. he said, "You're welcome." and he went back to the bleachers wit his friendz. i went ovr 2 my dormmates who had their own little group by the wall and i couldn't stop smiling!
soo, to wynton kun: i miss u lots. i think you're a great dancer, and thanx 4 dancing with me. i had a fun time at cty, and you only made it betta, so thanx a lot!!
