the miss and the pessimist

By brandon adamson

M: Hey, I see you around a lot and you’re really cute.

P: Thanks, it’s an illusion that wears off all too quickly, probably the moment we step into a fluorescently lit room together. I’m fond of your appearance though.

M: Thank you. I feel like I look like crap today. so…hi. What’s up?

P: Nothing much. Nothing at all in fact. What do you like to do or whatever?

M: I hike and go camping a lot! What about you?

P: No, I don’t really like to go outside usually

M: Oh.

P: Well, that’s not totally true. I like it when it rains or when it’s overcast and humid

M: Me too. But it hardly ever rains here.

P: I know.

M: Well I really just wanted to come over and say hi and meet you. We should hang out sometime.

P: Great, I know how that story ends…but sure why not.

M: Let me give you my number to put in your cellphone…

P: You might come to regret that decision.

M: Oh I don’t think I will.

P: Give it a few weeks or so, maybe sooner even.

M: Hah, no I was really drawn to you. That’s why I came over here.

P: Really? cause I tend to have the opposite effect….

M: Yeah right. I bet.

P: Anyway. I should get going. I don’t want to overstay my welcome. I’ve done that before. You’re really cute though.

M: Awww thanks. You make me blush.

P: That’s funny. In three weeks I’ll be saying “You’re really cute” and you’ll be saying “Whatever creep. leave me alone.”

M: Well, bye then! Talk to you soon hopefully.

P: Yeah, I’m enthusiastic. Bye
