UPDATE:
Well, boys and girls, Thursday came and so did the the trusty ol' 320 bus at 5:10pm. And right on time, we get to Vista at 5:30. She gets on. There is a difference this time. Just about the entire day, my buddy Ali was with me, in all my classes, my entire break between classes, the bus ride home, he even spent the night. The reason was that he was at the college to see a counseler and sort out his future education plan, under my suggestion. But that's another story, completely, now on to this one.
So, we didn't talk until we all got off the bus at the Carlsbad mall. She acknowleged my presence(which feels so good!), but we didn't really start talking until i made an ass of myself in front of the whole bus station. Y'see, there are these polls about 3 feet high, almost 4 near every bus stop there. Ali was trying to jump over them but couldn't, so i gave it a try........with my backpack still on.I made it over, but the weight of the backpack(and my natural lack of coordination) made me fall flat on the ground. I got the skinned knees and hole on the jeans to prove it. She came over and asked if i was ok, and my machoness kicked in and i yelled "WHOO!!!! Never felt better!!" Made her laugh, which was cool.
But here's the weird thing. She asked if Ali and I smoked Assuming she meant cigarettes, we said "every once in a while, once in a blue moon". She meant Marajuana. That's right: thegirl i'm after is a pot head. Well, we again answered "once in a ehile, once in a blue moon", because, let's face it, with friends like ours, you can't not do it at the very least twice in a year. So.....she had a bowl packed in her own pipe, we went somewhere stranded and there we stood, smoking a bowl of pot with the girl i like. Kinda cool, actually. We got to know eachother better while walking her to her work, and said our goodbyes soon after. She was born in France and her ex-boyfriend works at a cell phone store at the mall, by the way.
Now, wait a minute, don't go away! I'm not done! Later that night, with some pushing by Ali, and his girlfriend(who he was talking to over the phone at the time), i went back to the mall right when it was closing, hoping to catch her and ask her if she might join me in some coffee in one of the 3 Starbuck's we have nearby. Well, i saw her, but she was busy cleaning up, and didn't want to bother her, so i did nothing. Plus they had those gates up, telling you it's closed, so i couldn't get in anyway. Well, i make my way towards home, and i look back at the parking lot, and i see a red car, with someone in it. And i see a girl, with a ponytail about her size getting into it and it drives off. I now wonder who that was.
So, there ya have it, Update number....3 i think.
