This is a flirting story, but not awkward enough, more straight up sad.
It's September and I decided to at least try and do something at school before it's too late. As people go, this girl was alright she wasn't the prettiest or nicest by any stretch, but good enough. So one day we struck up a chat and looked like things were going somewhere fast.
However, much like Jack Trengove's navicular it deteriorated quickly and there was some prior history behind it since I had known her for a good four years now and probably could've if one of the other Awkward Flirting Stories didn't happen. One day the switch was flicked (again) and she decided not to talk to me anymore. Zero eye contact when I walked past, occasional awkward waves unreciprocated. Slightly confused as to what I had done, this proto-affection gradually became a strong loathing. So she tried talking to me last week, but I had none of it kept being distracted.
That week however, a list came out on muck-up day, a classic name-and-shame list. My name was completely absent from the list, but on the second page was hers. I did not know about it until a couple hours later when she tried talking to me. What was written on there basically rendered a reaction of: "Jesus Christ. I missed out."
"it's not third wheeling unless you join in, right? (girl) and (another girl) can't do it by themselves... unless it's a triangle of course"
I think that entry on the list is why I think she completely stopped talking to anyone afterward. I still think I would've gone somewhere if I had talked to her last week as well just due to that entry. But I didn't. Just as well.
Is this an awkward isosceles story?
