Back to School Or What You Will

A few weeks go by and she runs into a friend of his. The friend says that he and the guy had been talking and the guy had mentioned how he had not seen her. She does not mention that it is interesting that he is talking about her but not talking to her.

She did not see him for a few more days. She was attending a meeting in another room when she saw a classmate eating lunch. She went to speak to him not realizing that the guy was also in the room. She went in sat next to her classmate. He and she were speaking. Inside she was unhappy that the guy was not acknowledging her presence. As usual, he started talking loud and making comments about a token black guy. She ignored him and kept talking to a friend of hers. He then makes a comment and mentions her name but he says it incorrectly. She chooses to ignore him. She can’t believe that he would say her name incorrectly. He then tries to get her attention again. She ignores him and keeps talking to her classmate.

He then asks his friends if she is ignoring him. He tries to get her attention again and she ignores him. He then says that he guesses that she is ignoring him. She waits a second then grabs her lunch. As she is walking out she says that she tends to ignore people who can’t say her name correctly after knowing her for six months. Her boys start laughing and oohing and she points to one of his boys says what’s up and walks out the room.

After that she does not have anything to say to him. She is actually not happy with him, but she cannot show him that. She sees him the next day, but does not speak to him. He looks at her and tries to smile. She keeps walking like she does not see him. She wonders why can’t her actually say something. He has to know that she is upset about something. Does he even care.
