in the office » jim halpert

three: that girl

it's just a normal day at dunder mifflin

well it was, until a woman walks in, asking where michael was

i pointed to his office as she thanks me before walking in

a few minutes later, she walks back out, smiling widely

"i can't believe he'll let me sell my purses here" she squeals excitedly

i cringe at the high pitch voice, fake smiling

"where at?"

"in the conference room, wherever that is"

"i'm y/n" i say, politely, walking around my desk to help her bring her things into the conference room

"i'm katy"

i nod, smiling

i put her stuff on the table before turning to walk out of the room

"oh, thanks uh-" she calls after me, pausing

"it's y/n" i mumble before walking out of the room and over to my desk

for the next few hours, i painfully watch ryan, dwight, and michael try and flirt with her all of them leaving the room with big smiles on their faces

i feel my heart beat out of my chest when i see jim walking into the conference room

when i see her laughing and resting her hand on his arm, i feel like i'm going to explode

i quietly run out of the office, trying not to be seen by anyone

i sit on the bench by the elevator, far away from that girl and jim flirting

i put my head in my hands, feeling the tears pour out of my eyes

i feel so stupid for crying over a guy that is way out of my league

for a guy who i stupidly thought would go out with me

for just a second, i thought he might actually like me

but of course, i was wrong

"y/n" i hear someone quietly say

i look up, seeing dwight awkwardly staring down at me

"why are you crying?" he asks

i just cry harder

i feel him sit down next to me

he stays quiet as i attempt to muffle my cries

"here" he whispers

i look up, seeing a hankie

i take it, dabbing my eyes with it, in an attempt to calm myself down

"do you want to talk about it?" he asks

i shake my head
