This wasn’t on her, but I still think about how awkward it was and how I wanted to [disappear].
The setup to this was I thought I had a secret admirer in my junior year of high school. I received a couple notes from an unidentified girl, nothing over the top but just enough to seem legit saying she thought I was cute and asking if I had a girlfriend. This was early 90’s so no social media, texting ect.
I would find out later this all was a prank devised by my friends, and still can’t believe I bought it. I can’t remember the exact detail on how my friends “discovered” the identify of the girl, but they gave me the info one day and I took it as real.
I knew of this girl at school, but had never talked to her before. I was walking to class with my buddies, we see this girl in the hallway take a turn and is heading away from us to class. My buddies get on me to “go ask her out man!!! She wants to hang out with you”. They get me pumped up enough to go chase her down in the hallway. I get to her and say “Hey (her name here), I got your notes and definitely would be interested in hanging out sometime with you”. The look of puzzle and confusion on her was so incredible, It immediately hit me that this was all a joke put on by my buddies. She says back to me “I have no idea what notes you are talking about, and I have no idea who you are. And if you can not talk to me again, that would be great.” I still get hit with that random memory and it hits me in the chest just like it did then.
