My Pink Shoelace

Was checking my yahoo mail and since I chose the new mail thingy … it showed automatically the people on my address book who are online, it also showed them that am online. TJ was not visible though he sent a message. The so familiar psssttt … it brought a smile to my face, reminds me of good ol days when he was still on the floor, my mentor and my friend. He asked if I finished my enrollment already (which I have not unfortunately) and what my subjects are. He informed me of his schedule and found out that we didn’t have anything in common. Am planning on taking two majors and one foundation, it prolly is good knowing his a bit insecure gf is with him all the time they’re prolly classmates too.

Remembered what Lex said, the people on the floor seem to link me with someone tall and dark (not charcoal) mind you hehehe, but TJ’s tall and dark and they’re teasing me with D whose also tall and dark … didn’t include the word handsome as that’s very subjective but that’s the case. Dunno how it started with TJ being the mentee and him the mentor we talked a lot and me being the talkative me and him being the silent him it made the whole thing normal. For us it was but it didn’t seem to look that way to others. Next thing we knew we were teased and we could no longer talk in the main chatroom, our conversations via Outlook, normal conversations are being monitored … got a screenshot at one point … our TL created a chatroom just for the both of us, we could no longer go eat lunch together coz that would cause bickering among the team, I was never late for lunch nor do I ever forget my sched coz he was like my human TKS. We almost always have the same lunch and he’d either drop by my station (if he’s seated far away) or would send an email in Outlook reminding me of my lunch. Hehehehe

We’re pretty close proximity wise but not emotionally or mentally, what made me say that? It was a shallow friendship … shallow in the sense that people would always see us together on the floor to the point of being inseparable but we never spoke of anything personal. ‘Twas the usual chitchat about work and school (he wants to take up education and sped), me being licensed to corrupt minds is the perfect person to talk to, though am pretty much useless most of the time as I speak nonsense but we talk nonetheless.

It was not the kind of friendship bound to last a lifetime, it was cool while it lasted. Looking back at it now he was just a plain acquaintance nothing more nothing less. Why were teased I have no clue … to say I liked him would be a lie coz I never did like him. He was just a fwend to begin with just like everyone else.
