Grad Party

So yeah here I am back again because something very magical happened to me yesterday. So you may ask, what was the magical thing that happened to me yesterday? Shall I start from the moment I stepped out from the house?

I was doing some stuff on my laptop, then I went to watch a show, I left house in a haste after seeing the time that I had left on the clock to meet my friends. We were supposed to meet at 1 pm to watch the Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie that afternoon. With haste, I managed to reach the cinema entrance at about 1:30 pm, met Nam then I asked her to enter first because the rest of them were already sitting inside. Bought my own set of Popcorn and drink, and sat down in the cinema hall to watch the movie. The movie itself was beyond awesome, too many bad ass things in there, won't reveal any spoilers, watch the film yourself :) Anyway after the movie we headed back to school for the Grad party, something that I've waited for since forever. A friend of mine told me that there was an email sent to us containing the names of the participants. I frantically went to check the email, hoping to see if she was also attending the party. To my dismay, her name and contact didn't appear in the list, leaving me very disappointed and a little sad, Crestfallen, I followed my friends to the food court 3, they ate some food but I just sat there and chatted with my friends til around 4:50 pm, where we made our way to the Hall area where the Grad party was held. Saw the reception counter, then I went to register my name and collect my goodie bag. When I turned my head and looked inside the Hall, I saw her, standing near the podium, controlling something on the laptop. My heart skipped a beat the moment I saw her and I couldn't express the feeling of joy when I saw her. My friends were teasing me a little when they saw her too. We entered the hall and my friends chose the table that is relatively near to the podium (perhaps they were helping me), but I was thankful for that.

Unexpectedly, she was the one of the MCs for the dinner and that made her stand out even more. Since they were not many people attending the dinner, she requested for all of us to be more 'sporting' so that things won't be so awkward between the participants and the MCs. There were games being played, and the first game was called 'bingo', in which there was a piece of paper with a 6 x 7 grid, and behind the paper were a number of requirements to fulfill. Requirements such as finding the person with the same hobby, same birth month, or someone that is joining the workforce soon etc. As I skimmed through the requirements, there was one that caught my eye, this statement that said: 'Someone you find pretty'. That very moment, a light bulb went over my head, since the MC said that I could ask anyone, I quickly made my my mind and I went to ask her. I hesitated for quite awhile, and for some reason, a large amount of courage surged through my body, and the next thing I knew, I tapped on her elbow and she stared at me. That moment, I couldn't believe that she's staring at me. I opened my mouth and I said to her: "Hey, I think you are really beautiful to me". After hearing that, she laughed and said one of the sweetest 'thank you' to me, and she filled that square with the signature. Next, I asked her: "So what's your name?" (I know it is a very irrelevant question because I already knew her name long time ago). "Soyeon", she said, and then I replied to her by saying, "Oh, my name is Justin" and then we smiled. At least she knew about my existence.

Skipping to the dinner, my stomach was feeling very funky after drinking a cup of orange juice. So I didn't really have much appetite to eat. Instead, I got myself a small plate of fried noodles, some vegetables and a small slice of sweet and sour fish. During dinner Soyeon walked from table to table and handed out a small circular tin of butter cookies, she then leaned close to me to place the tin on the table, After seeing this, my friend said to me, "liking this Justin?" I obviously didn't reply because I was a lil' embarrassed. Since none of my friends didn't want the tin of cookies, it ended up in my hands (I was secretly celebrating of course). The whole time I was just looking at her and giving her the 'love look in my eyes' the whole time when I'm staring at her. After dinner, there was a photo taking session, and soon after was free and easy. Another light bulb went over my head, so I quickly asked my friend to help me. The adrenaline rush surged through my body once more, and I approached her once more. I asked her, "Soyeon? Is it okay if I can take a picture with you?" With a cheerful voice, she said,"Sure!" I was awfully delighted.

She took a picture with me and I was trying not to smile awkwardly. I really couldn't believe that she's just less than 8 cm away from me. After that I thanked her, and I went off to chat with my other friends. As I left the Hall, my whole body was feeling like a drunkard, my sense of coordination was low and I was somewhat smiling unknowingly with an utter loss for words. I turned back one last time, hoping to catch a glimpse of her. I failed, the rain was too thick and the windows had blinds so it's almost impossible to see her one last time. With a heavy heart, I left for home.

So that's basically it for the things that happened yesterday, and probably the next time I will see her is during graduation. By then, I will just tell her everything that has been in my heart for over a year, because I feel that she needs to know about it.
