So funny story... There I was walking down the main sidewalk of Snow College just messing around on my phone when - BAM!! Next thing I knew I was on my back and there was a guy hovering over me asking if I was okay. Still confused on what had happened I responded with I was okay and he slowly helped me to my feet.
It was then I slowly started putting things together when I spotted a lone long board in the grass and randomly catching parts of the guys sentences. Already having a really bad day I turned to him and just... exploded...
"What the heck? Why did you hit me?"
"I tried to stop but I was going to fast!"
"You could have called out a warning!"
"You randomly cut into my path! If I didn't have time to slow down do you honestly think I could have said anything!"
"Well you should have been paying more attention!"
"I wasn't the one who was walking around with my nose in my phone!"
"Are you serious?! Are you really putting the blame on me?!"
"Of course I am! Pay attention to where you are walking!"
"What?! I'm not going to break open someones skull when I run into them while walking! I'm pretty sure that's all your doing!"
"I've have never hit anyone before! And you said you were fine!"
"Yeah well, I wasn't exactly aware of what happen!"
"AGH! Fine!" He suddenly grabs my arm, "This is my apology, accept it or not." Then after picking up his long board proceeded to drag me to the library.
Before I knew it I was firmly seated in a booth and then a three scoop bowl of triple chocolate ice cream was plunked in front of me. By then I had calmed down a lot and was actually rather embarrassed by what I had done.
"I'm sorry..."
"What?"
"I said, I'm sorry... it's been a rough week and I kind of took it out on you..."
"I figured as much. Don't worry about it though, no harm done."
We spoke for a while longer and I found out his name was Mark Leo Wolfe, and that he preferred going by Leo. He was two years older than me and was also a sophomore at Snow College. By the end of our conversation I walked away feeling much better and with a new number in my phone.
Now, even after everything that happened in the last two weeks, he has continued to text me and I find my life seeming to slowly lighten from the darkness I have been in. And then today we hung out at the badger den just talking and laughing like normal when he asked me to be his girlfriend.
Who knew right? When life hits you hard and floors you, someones got to help you get up on your feet. Mine this time just happened to be someone who could possibly change my life.
