Title: Anon happened

Tag: SFW, awkward moments, college moment

a few weeks into college
struggling to stay awake during the usual business philosophy lecture
you sense that the lecture is ending soon so you force yourself to stay extra alert for the last few minutes
”Alright class. For the upcoming assignment next week, you’ll need to get yourselves in pair and prepare some presentation slides for the class to watch. Since all of you are here, I expect you all to send me your partners by the end of today.”
the lecturer then leaves the room and you look around the class
that one guy that you had talked with occasionally during the first week already has some other guy to partner up with
you then muster up the courage to ask this one girl that you vaguely know about partnering up
”Oh sorry, I already have my boyfriend on that spot”
Shit. As time goes on, the class gets emptier and you still haven’t find a partner
you notice someone still in the lecture hall
a girl slouching over the desk while looking at her phone
this is the first time you’ve seen her in this class
either no one has approached her this whole time or she’s just that good at concealing her presence
she looks pretty disinterested to start a conversation with but you’re getting desperate so you bite the bullet and approach her
”H-hey there. Still looking for an assignment buddy? I’m still looking for one myself.”
she looks at you with a deadpan confused look and responds to you
”Do I look like the kind of person who cares about this stuff?”
”Well…since you’re still here, maybe?” you replied.
she looks visibly annoyed while sulking
”Fine. Just tell me what you want from me for this assignment. Don’t expect me to do some fantastic work though.”
”Cool, that’s all I ask for. Thank you so much.”
”Whatever.” She mutters.
she just goes back to slouching with her back facing you and continue looking at her phone
you feel dejected even though she agreed to partner with you
talking with her just makes you more miserable than your usual mood
about some seconds have passed since then. You’re still trying to find what words to say to her
your motivation to continue talking to her is dwindling at a rapid rate as well
mustering up whatever amount of courage you have left, you then ask her
”So what’s your name? I’ll let the lecturer know about you working with me.”
”Tell me yours first.” She said it in a demanding yet monotonous manner
feeling flustered by that response, you stuttered,”i-it’s Anon.”
”…there, I just told the lecturer about us.”
”What?” you instinctively replied.
she shows me her phone with her back still facing me. She secretly sent an email to the lecturer shortly after you told her your name.
”What the fuck?” you exclaimed internally while seething slightly at the fact that she’s doing all this behind your back
you’re barely containing the autism within you from going ape on her for doing something without you knowing
you then see her name on the sender tab
”K-kroney?” you utter the name with hesitation
she quickly faces towards you and respond,”Kro. Nii.”
”Kronii..” you repeat.
”Yeah…” said Kronii.
silence follows. Fuck this is awkward. Someone please say something.
”Cool name.” Fuck fuck I want to retract that cringe statement.
she stares at you looking dumbfounded by your response and then looks away from you
you hear her mutter something inaudible but it sounded like ”…thanks”
not wanting to drag this awkward moment for too long you then say
”okaaay, I gotta go get ready for the next class. I’ll let you know through email later about the plan for this assignment. Hope I get to see you again soon, Kronii.”
still not looking at your direction, she responds
”Yeah, same.” Though this time it’s not the cold monotonous feeling you get. It’s a feeling akin to a shy and timid person.
stop this psychoanalysis bullshit and move your ass out of there fast you fuck
you quickly proceed to walk out of the classroom
as you’re about to reach the exit, you sneak a peek at her
she still has her back facing you
suddenly her body rotates over and looks at you as you leave
ah shit, what do I do? Oh right, wave at her.
you move your hand and wave at her, only to feel something hard slamming your whole body while you aren’t looking ahead
you hit the wall right next to the exit. Ah you stupid fuck. God damn it, just leave. LEAVE!
you left the class while crying internally from the overwhelming shame you felt throughout the whole conversation
