The Tinder
So it’ll start with a guy named Sean that kind of is a story throughout the day. So I was acquaintances with Sean because he was in debate for my first two years managing it. He was my best friends partner so I ran into him but we never spoke because I was intimidated. He skipped a year and graduated a year early. Went to an Ivy League school at 16! So we matched on tinder about a week ago. we didn’t talk but he was judging at this tournament. As I pull up to my school, he’s walking in right ahead of me. I’m freaking out already afraid I’d run into him. I follow my friend to the judges chamber and I mean of course he was there… I was just too stupid to anticipate it. We didn’t speak then either just glanced at each other occasionally. Then I didn’t see him for a long while just in the hallways between rounds and stuff. Finally I’m sitting concessions and he walks up and he’s talking with someone and I knew I had to invite him to dinner after the tournament because it’s tradition that my school goes to team dinner after each tournament I’m at. I’m like “hey want to go to Village Inn after the tournament?” And he says “I’d love to but then I have to stay late and help central kids clean the school!” And somehow I got the BALLS to say, “I mean you can just sit with me? I’m not a part of the team either so we can wait together?” Not even realizing the ramifications of what I said. He smiled and said “ok you’ve got me.” Then after the tournament we did just that and walked around together just talking a bit. We would run into people and join groups but it was the first time we really talked. Then I get to village inn and I’m saving a seat for this girl I had met that was really nice. I fight people off and fight people off and then he walks in first and says, “is anyone sitting here?” And I’m like “uummm uhh uhm uhhmmu” and before I could get anything out he sat and I said it was empty. So the whole teams watching this go down, ‘me saving a seat and then giving it up for another gay… and then the rest is we just spent the whole dinner talking to each other and with other people and I lowkey started to catch small feelings… so great?
