Wroodle 51

The bell rang and I leapt to my feet, eager to get to lunch.  It really sucked having the last lunch of the day.  Not that I wanted to go to A lunch either.  That was just too early.  I preferred either B or C lunch.  But for this semester I was stuck with D lunch.  It really wasn’t all that bad.  I got to eat with the Russian Bear after all.

The Russian Bear walked beside me as we made our way from the back hall to the lunch room.  It was a long walk, but I didn’t really mind all that much.

Suddenly, he asked me a question I hadn’t been expecting.

“Do you like me?”

Without thinking I started laughing.  “Oh, thanks for that.  I needed a good laugh.  I like you as a friend.  I’m really not interested in anyone anyway.”

He forced a smile, trying to shrug off my unintentionally cruel response.  “Right.  I should’ve guessed as much.”

The rest of the lunch period passed without further incident.  I wouldn’t realize until much later just how cruel I had been to the Russian Bear that day.  First I had to gain the maturity I lacked at the time and reflect on my actions.  I cannot say I regret my honesty, but I still regret my cruelty.  I should have treated him better.  I regret that I did not see that until he was gone.
Yes, this actually happened.  I can't remember the exact words now, but a good friend of mine did ask me if I liked him (twice actually).  I didn't think anything of it at the time and laughed it off as I joke (I know, I'm a terrible person:sob: ).  I'm afraid I was both careless and clueless at 15.  Oh, and later I decided to divulge one of my deepest darkest secrets to him later because I considered him such a good friend.sigh Luckily I didn't have many such opportunities to stomp on a boy's feelings.  It just kind of hurts knowing I did that to someone I honestly cared about.  So, um, Russian Bear, if you ever read this, I'm really sorry for how I treated you.  You deserved better.
