Lunch time incidents

1. Went for lunch alone today. At Alumni House.

Was sitting alone, enjoying my not-very-nice spaghetti when I saw my old classmate. I raised my hand to wave him, but he didn't respond.

I can't say that we were best friends, but at least we know each other (we shared the same class, didn't we?)

"Hmm. Maybe he just didn't see me", I thought. And he was sitting with someone else anyway. All other time I saw him, he was almost always alone. "Seems like you are doing well", I smiled to myself, feeling all good and forgiving. It's hard not to be forgiving when Life seems to be pretty good with everyone, no?

After finishing my lunch, I tried waving him again. This time, he looked directly at my direction, seeing me, and... turned away :| Isn't it weird? I decided to come over.

And not until I was merely about 2m away from him did I realize that I ...actually didn't know this guy at all.

T_T

Yes, today I left my specs in the office. T_T How embarrassing T_T

2. Suddenly you called. I didn't want to pick up. But I did, against my better judgment and against my own experience (I saved ur number as "Not to pick up", I should have just listened to myself).
I thought maybe, just maybe, you have sth important to say, this time. Or if not, at least sth that makes sense. Maybe I should be fair to you, this time.

I was so wrong.

Why do you have to bother me and interrupt my Russian lesson with you whining about waking up late for your presentation?

I was so surprised, yet I still even tried to say sth brief to you (sorry, that's my best try of being polite. Guess I failed). But then you kept going on and on about how the presentation went.

Now if you are close to me, or who I do care about, I wouldn't mind. I would set aside everything, and listen to your complaint about anything. But I'm sorry, I cannot do it for just everyone, or else I would go crazy caring about tiny issues of mere acquaintances.

And I cannot help you to change your grades either. So what's the point?

Or did we suddenly become so close overnight without me knowing?! T_T
