She Says He's Just A Friend

She believes that there is a study session, so she decides to look nice for him. The night before she does her hair, gets a facial, and gets a mani and pedi. She wears slim pants, heels and a top. She is disappointed to find out that there is not a study session. She prances around hoping that he will see her. She knows when he is getting out of class. She is by the elevator when she hears folks talking. She knows one of those voices quite well – it is his. So instead of getting on the elevator, she lets the elevator door close. She turns around as she sees another classmate coming in the door. She makes a comment to the classmate. The guy and his friend look at her. The guy says “wow” to his friend. She is glad that he likes her look – well she hopes that is what he saying wow too. She hopes that he was saying wow she looks horrible. But there is nothing else around to be saying wow about. She ignores him, but does speak to his friend as always. They chat about the upcoming oral argument. She teases him and smiles. The guy just looks at her. She does not speak to him or even acknowledge his presence. He looks down at his shoes. They each go their separate ways. Later she begins self-doubt about his comment. The classmate that sat next to them in their mutual class had walked in at the same time. But deep down she knows that he is making that comment about her. She wonders why she is so insecure when it comes to him. At this point she has finally come to the realization that she likes the guy, which is a great freedom to her.
