In one of my classes we have a group project. I got paired with a boy and a girl. The girl is 36 years old and makes a lot of jokes about being a spinster and crazy cat lady. She is a baker, like an unofficial baker but her job is to write about baking. She talks a lot about being single, getting married, having a boyfriend, dating, all that. Her intensity about it is a little ... intense. And scary.
The boy is my age. The girl likes him and flirts with him but he doesn't like her and I don't think he realizes she likes him. Today he asked if I'm seeing anyone and I told him yes but asked him not to tell the girl because I think it might upset her.
He asked if it's serious, with the person I'm seeing. Later, when he'd gone to ask the reference librarian for help finding a book we needed, some random girl at the next table leaned over and smiled at me. "You could screw him if you want. He's totally into you." I smiled back and said thanks. I don't know if she was right or not but I hope the girl in my group doesn't realize it.
