The first time you meet someone, you make eye contact. You smile, say hello. Should be simple, if you\u2019re anyone but me. The first time I met Dylan Reed, I found myself making eye contact with a different part of his body. You see, I\u2019m very good at being shy, not to mention extremely well-versed in rambling nonsense and, unfortunately, rather highly skilled at making a fool of myself in front of a guy I\u2019m attracted to.<\/p>\n
At the time, I knew nothing about him and thought none of what I said would matter since I\u2019d never speak to him again. Turns out, I was very wrong. He was the star wide receiver of the football team, one of the few players expected to make it into the NFL, and I ended up seeing him all over campus.
\nI might have also propositioned him, run away from him, attacked him with a cooking utensil\u2026and\u2026uh, maybe I shouldn\u2019t tell you all of it. It\u2019s pretty normal stuff, things you\u2019d expect\u2026from me. Eventually, the time came when I couldn\u2019t hide anymore\u2014not that he\u2019d have let me even if I tried.
\nBefore now, he never knew I was secretly watching him. Now that we see each other every day, he knows when I have a hard time looking away. It doesn\u2019t help that I\u2019m not the most subtle person in the world either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
