:| :) :D XD
I finally talked with him!
Finally. Finally. Finally. :)
At first I thought he wasn't going to come to the lecture today but surprise surprise, he did. He sat on the other side of the room while I sat on the other side.
How it happened was that I had just finished discussing some things with my lecturer when I noticed that he and a group of other guys were standing near our table, talking about our project (which is to draw a map showing the route we take from our home to the campus).
I didn't look at him of course, so I went on to my seat and thought about how to do my drawing when my friend, Anna, came back from her discussion with the lecturer so she showed her map to the people there which was down to just Anna's workmate (Derek) and Prince.
I felt a bit more courageous than usual, so I leaned very far to my left to join in the discussion to get an idea of what I should do, also partly to try to get the chance to talk with Prince.
Then, while she was talking with Prince, I wanted to approach Derek first, before approaching Prince but I wasn't too sure of his name so I was in a bit of a dilemma haha. I called him a couple of times but I gave up so I talked to Anna instead.
Me: Anna, he's Derek right? Can you call Derek for me?
Anna: Derek-
Derek: Hmm?
Me: How big is the scale of your map?
Derek: It's around 1:2000.
Me: Really? Do you live near campus?
Derek: Yeah. *Shows map* It looks like this.
At this point, Anna kind of went back to her seat (next to mine, she was in front of the table initially with the other two) and Derek was just about finishing up and Prince somehow moved a bit closer to me instead of getting ready to go.
Me: How's your map? What scale did you use?
Prince: Ah, not good. I didn't use the standard scale. *Shows map*
Me: Do you live near campus?
Prince: Yeah, I live nearby.
Me: If you walked from your home to campus how long would it take you?
Prince: 10 minutes by walking.
At that point, the lecture was going to start again so Prince went back to his seat.
Naturally, I tried to keep my cool but after a few minutes, after I sent messages to June and Helen and my sisters about the step I took, I couldn't help smiling. I wanted to squeal and whatnot but I couldn't hahaha.
After that he left class together with some people for lunch and I thought he wouldn't come back but he did. He sat together with one of my guy friends from my current residence at the back and continued their work. I found this a bit odd since he usually never comes back after lunch but I just went on with my work.
And so I continued with my work when suddenly I noticed two people approaching me so I took off my earphones and looked up and saw Prince with my guy friend. It's pretty sad though that since the friend needed help, I only talked with him and Prince went back after a couple of seconds. I couldn't help it though.
That's when I started to think that it was a tiny bit odd, since Prince lives in the opposite direction from my friend and I.
Which leaves me wondering, why did he come over? To accompany the friend?
It was nice though when we talked. He smiled and but we didn't make much eye contact. Probably only once. I feel really shy to look at him.
I also noticed that after we talked and when he went to talk to the lecturer while I was chatting with Isa, he looked in my direction, as though he wanted to come over and talk.
But overall, I'm really happy and glad that this time, I did not pass up the chance to talk with him and I initiated the conversation.
So maybe next time, I'll be able to talk with him again. :)
Last week was a very depressing week for me and I think that maybe this is the reason why, so that I'll be able to fully appreciate the small miracle that happened to me today.
These days, I am less awkward socially and I actually talked a lot with some of the guys that I know.
Maybe that's why God didn't want me to talk with him previously. He maybe wanted me to be more prepared and relaxed so that when I finally talk to Prince, I won't be all over the place with things.
On another note, my heart didn't really beat fast. I just felt overjoyed.
I feel really good today. :)
This gives me the motivation to work harder in my studies as well.
Thank you so much God, for letting me speak with him, even though it was only for a few seconds. :)
