Tamara Boyfriend Zoned me.
(Remind Me Again Wik-tionary: Boyfriend Zone- noun (plural Boyfriend Zones) - a term used by Ivan Patricks to indicate a person who’s been turned down by a marriage proposal but wasn’t entirely busted.)
And this is how she Boyfriend zoned me:
“Marry.” I said, putting up a brave face.
“Marry who?” her eyebrows furrowed.
“Marry me.”
|(￣3￣)| (・ω・；)

“Be patient, Boy George! I am trying here!” she grumbles. “I’m right there!”
“I am ready!” I shout at her playfully.
She takes a deep breath and she lets it out.
“Anakin Skywalker!”
And I fell off the gorge metaphorically. That’s my over interpretation of lying back on the grass and putting my arm across my face to cover my eyes from the sunlight.
I let out a frustrated sigh. “Tamara, that’s not my name.”
I hear her intake of breath. “Harry Potter.” She points at me.
