So it is about 3 am and I am pulling an all-nighter because that is just what stupid college kids do. Luckily the library is open 24 hours during the week so I decided to run there to steal some coffee and paper clips (Don't ask.). But I got so much more. As I was leaving I say Bethesda sitting at a table studying with a girl. Every movie made from 1984 on will tell you what happens next. I went up and said hi. He tried to remain calm but there was definitely a flash of discomfort in his eyes. He introduced me to his girlfriend. Because I am a masochist I casually asked her how long they had been going out. Since a little bit before spring break. I asked him if he minded walk me back to the dorm because it was so late. He, probably sensing the tension, obliged.I wasn't going to ring him out in front of his girlfriend, nobody comes out a winner in that situation.
As soon as we were away from the windows of the library, I turned to him and said,
"Ok, so we're done....thanks."
"Wait, why? I thought the point was that there are no feelings so it the relationship thing doesn't matter."
"A relationship between me and you doesn't matter. But now you have involved feelings. Hers. I'm not going to be that person. I refuse to be the other girl. She deserves better than that. So let's just call it quits."
And that was that. I'm not going to cry over it. It was bound to happen eventually. I guess the thing about guys like Zac and Luca is that you expect this kind of stuff. Maybe it is just guys in general.
I think you're awesome for that. You don't rat him out AND you're the better person. Go you. :)
