Another difficult situation. The 'Gossip', yet again.
Rarely did I ever show my emotions in high school, in fact, if you know my college friends and medical school colleagues, I hold that true today.
Well in high school, specifically my senior year, during prom time, I had a crush. Yes, a crush. I had this crush on this girl, and her first name is Prudence. She is Korean. I won't reveal her last name for fear that she will discover this. lol.
Well, I bought flowers from the local gift shop, from Shoprite in Williamstown.
On my way to AP English, friends asked me what the flowers for and who were they for. Foolishly, because I was so excited to ask her, I revealed that the flowers were intended for Prudence. Unbeknownst to me that the girl I told that to, told friends and etc.
Again, it was my fault.
So by the time I went to English Class, now can you imagine I was all dressed up for it as well, and at the same time had a large book back on my back. ah yes, how pathetic looking now that i look at it in hindsight, hahaha!
So this girl, Prudence, and I were rivals. In grades. We were rivals. We rivaled in AP English (Advanced Placed), AP History I & II, AP Governmenet and Politics, AP Biology, AP Physics, AP Anatomy and Physiology, and our Engineering courses. It was always a big deal for me to beat her in grades, which rarely did happen because this girl was so smart. She rarely ever got a grade lower than 98 in any of the exams, so it made it practically impossible.
So anyways, yes, ha!
I guess I kinda developed a sense of interest for her, I found her intelligence and spicyness and comments to me, though were very antagonistic, found it attractive. I loved the competition. I told her that I found her defense weak, and crass, just to savor her response and repudiation.
Well anyways, when I gave her the flowers, I told her it was for peace. To be friends.
Then I can remember people in my class namely: Rich, Steve, Kristy, Christine, Rebecca and even Mrs. Franks (our english teacher) commented on how romantic it was. Ushering words how apparently I loved Prudence etc etc, and all these embarrassing things. I blushed red.
I was so embarrassed.
Instead of asking her to the prom, I didn't. I was so embarrassed. I didn't know they knew.
