Every time I walk into this store I am greeted by such a magnificent specimen of a man. How many sales am I gonna catch in here before I just ask him out? I'll try today... here goes nothing...

"Welcome... if you need help with anything feel free to ask."

"Ok... thanks... uhm... I do have a question... I have 2 tickets to dinner and a show at the Improve uptown... Will you join me?"

Girl... you did it... straight forward... no holds barred... whew.

"Well... I'm sorry... I cannot accept this offer."

Huh...

"Oh... I'm sorry... do you have a girlfriend?"

"I do not."

Then how you gonna...

"Oh... ok... maybe another time."

😥😥😥

I'm super puzzled... he didn't exactly leave room for that other time possibility to actually... possibly... be a thing.... did he... hmmm... I'm always up for a challenge.

...................

I always hate the first day of school. I hate new kids, new teachers, and freshman.

"What up Yosh... why the long face?"

"Me, nah, I'm good... I'm watching this silly chic embarrass herself... why are they so dumb?"

"Did you get your schedule... let's see what our final year looks like."

""aaaooouuuwww.... yessss... same classes!!...""

"Waaaiiittt... T.... look who came through the door... that's the guy from the shoe store..."

"Yosh... are you sure?"

"I would never forget that curly hair... omg... let's go let's go."

"Waaaiit... that stupid Junior just stepped on his Jays... look at her fumble... 😤 what is she doing?"

"So annoying!!! T... let's go... Forget them... let me check my make up and out fit girl... who cares about a Junior... we are seniors... dance team members... and we plan all parties for the school... we can deff run into him... I pray he isn't a freshman... or I will die... for real this time..."

"And like last time... you won't actually die... but... you will drive me insane... for sure..."

We erupt in laughter... we have seen our crushes come and go... we never get serious.. but we have great memories.

"Yosh... he's heading this way... go go go..."

"No... let me look in my locker and pretend I'm busy."

"Hello... Tavist is my name... I guess we are locker neighbor."

Ahem... clears throat like a school girl...

"Oh... um yea... great... I'm Yoshikawa... but you can call me Yoshi."

"Nice to meet you... ok... Ciao."

"Omg T... did you see me holding my breath... I think he WILL certainly cause my death... omg"

"Yosh... pull it together... let's go to gym... and start our AWESOME senior year.!!!"
