I hadn't told anyone this, but a couple of weeks ago, it was the date when you-know-who found out that I, sorta. Well, had a.
I had a crush on him ages ago.
So that time, I once again told myself that if I ever spotted him, I'm gonna keep my head held high and stand/walk proud. And I'm gonna act all cool and get that 'swag' thing going on, whatever what swag suggests.
Unfortunately, that thought didn't cross my mind when I spotted him for real in the hypermarket.
Because the thought, "SHIT! DAMN IT! HIDE! HIDE!" were flashing in my mind. It's like in default mode, I went back acting like a high schooler, getting out of sight of my ex-crush.
But of course, not so obvious, for I was with my dad at the counter. Luckily there was a cement pole that blocks my view of him and...
Gawd, my heart was pounding. Maybe from the running around that I was doing when I got the milk, garlic, fish and bread. But yeah.
Therefore, I've told myself to be careful next time when I go to the hypermarket:
1. Keep a short distance vision. When you see garlic, just go for garlic and don't look anywhere else but the garlic.
2. Should you have no choice but to see him at the counter, pretend you don't recognize him. Keep your heart rate normal otherwise your face would blush.
3. No eye contact with assistant or cashier. Just look down on your groceries, even if it's only a KitKat or an ice cream.
4. If you see an assistant in an aisle that might resemble him, DON'T under any circumstance take notice of his/her presence. When you see peanut butter, just get the bloody peanut butter.
I'm so on Hide mode.
5. Look him straight in the eye (whether or not your heart is threatening to pound its way out of your chest, regardless of whether the shade of your face resembles that of a tomato's), and say "Hi" coolly.
