Alright, Iāve been meaning to write this for ages (literally a month) because tumblr wouldnāt let me post this on mobile so now Iām posting this from my laptop
Now, the main reason I announced what was going on with Laurie is because 1) I felt like since you guys have been with me for most of that journey, I should let you know when it ends
And 2) because thereās a really cute guy at my home-school meet up and Iām going to die.
To explain, me and a few of my friends attend a monthly roller-skating event with a bunch of other home schoolers, itās great, itās fun, I personally freaking love roller-skating so this whole thing sounded awesome to me
And Iād been to the place since itās the only goddamn roller-skating rink that isnāt 5 hours away (I wish I was kidding)
This is a long one guys, buckle up
So, we rock up and in my head I did the same thing that happened with Laurie,
āHey Jordaaaaaanā the stupid romantic part of me said āwhat ifā¦. You get a datemate hereā¦. In a veeeeeeeeery fanfic fluff scenario place??????? HMMMMMMMMMMMMM???????ā
And Iām like āno brain very unlikelyā
Which is also what I thought when I met Laurie.
So, weāre waiting outside, eager to go and skate and I start examining the potential datemate candidates.
Because Iām a lonely pan that just wants a FUCKING DATE
Plus, the last mass group meeting thing I did, I didnāt know I was pan. So that meant everyone was an option
I tap my friend who I have mentioned before as BTSfan or if you watch my YT videos youāll soon find out her name, (Iām not saying it here because I donāt know if sheās cool with her name on tumblr, but you know who you are), and Iām like āIs that (Name of other friend who we havenāt seen in ages and TBH isnāt exactly relevant in this but it makes sense later why Iām mentioning him)ā and sheās like āHoly shit, heās way taller nowā and we start talking to him and being like āhey HOLY SHIT YOUāRE TALLā and I stop looking for datemate candidates.
Thank god.
If I noticed the guy Iām about to mention now, I would have died on the spot.
So, we go in and I realise out of the friend group Iām in, four of us, IāM THE ONLY ONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO SKATE
So, I skate on roller-skates because I feel safer on them and I actually own those white 90ās looking ones
Not joking I own this exact pair, fuck rollerblades Iām out here looking old school AF
So, I donāt really know how to teach rollerblades, thankfully my friend BTSfan and her sister Prettyfriendās mom knew how to skate rollerblades so she taught Prettyfriend and Tallfriend how to do that while I taught BTSfan
And thennnnnnnnn
Cuteboy appeared
Cuteboy (I swear to god Iām obsessed) was wearing like a sans jacket but it looked like denim
Like imagine this but denim
Thatās what he was wearing
And I was like HOLY SHIT HEāS REALLY CUTE
And I tap my friend and Iām like āNot to freak you out, but there is a REALLY CUTE GUY SKATING BY USā and she looks at him and literally says āOKAY WOWā
And then he did the most amazing thing that probably isnāt that amazing to people who roller-skate a lot but to a pretty much casual skater this was amazing to me
He skated a FUCKING CROSS STEP TURN
IāM NOT FUCKING KIDDING
I WAS LOSING MY MIND
AND MY FRIEND WAS LOSING HER MIND
AND WE WERE LIKE HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
So, for the whole hour we were there I stared at this boy CONSTANTLY like he would skate past and I would just stop and stare at him until BTSfan was like āUhhhh Jordan! Youāre drifting off!ā I would drift away from her, I nearly crashed into a wall, I WOULD NOT STOP STARING AT THIS BOY
I started trying to build up the courage to ask for his name because either I wanted his name or for him to know his cross step looks FUCKING AWESOME
And I just couldnāt ask him, I couldnāt say anything
Then BTSfan needed a break halfway through, (Understandable weād been skating for half an hour straight and she was a newbie), so I started skating on my own
God, I missed the feeling of just skating
When we did that session in November, I hadnāt skated since January, I hadnāt skated on a driveway, a tennis court, nothing
And it just felt really nice to skate again
Plus, I got to dance skate and dear GOD I MISSED THAT SO MUCH
Dance skating is basically me skating to the tune of the music.
On tennis courts thatās really hard to do, so being on a smooth concrete surface made me move really fast.
And then Cuteboy skated past me at one point and was like fiVE CENTIMETRES AWAY FROM MY ARM
AND THEN I REALISED HE WASNāT WEARING THE JACKET
HE WASNāT WEARING THE JACKET
HE WAS WEARING A CAMO T SHIRT
I WENT INTO FUCKING PANIC MODE
I skated over to BTSfan and just whispered āHEāS NOT WEARING THE JACKETā and she was like āI wondered when youād notice, are you okay?ā
āNO, I'M GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACKā
And she was like ādo you want me to take a photo?ā and I'm like āNo, RESPECT PRIVACYā and sheās like āOKaaaaaaaaaaaayā and then I get back to dying
LAURIE WAS NOTHING LIKE THIS
AT ALL
Laurie was cute and heās still going to have a place in my heart, but my emotions toward him more like extreme butterflies
One thing I say a lot when it comes to my crushes is that I can easily talk to them, meaning they have no clue I like them.
IF THIS BOY HASNāT NOTICED HE IS EXTREMELY BLIND I NEVER BLUSH THIS MUCH
Like Iād look at him, and justā
Everything speeds up and I struggle breathing and just
WHAT IS WITH ME
But then, unfortunately
Time ran out
And I wouldnāt see him for another month
So, Iām taking off my skates, hoping to see him and be like āHey your cross step looked awesomeā but he doesnāt show up.
Because he left the rink through the other gate not facing me to return the skates he borrowed from the rink.
I only know this because afterwards I saw him and my friends talking to him.
Well more specifically, Prettyfriend because she knows how to socialise and talk to other human beings
I know I found one of those āextrovertsā Iām amazing
And then just as Iām admiring how fuCKING PRETTY THIS BOY IS
BTSfan comes running over
And Iām like āare you okayāā āI have just done Godās workā
And Iām like ????
āhis name is Edwardā
Not his real name but equally beautiful
I immediately hug her āI love you and youāre the greatest human being on this planet and donāt you dare think otherwiseā
I mean I normally say those things to her but like this was a joyous moment
So, I go over with her to where our other friends are taking off their skates when Cuteboy has to leave
He waves at us and says bye and I inSTINCTIVELY WAVE AND SAY BYE BACK BECAUSE IāM A PERSON WHOāS ETERNALLY AFRAID OF BEING RUDE
He leaves and I just realised thatās the first time I spoke to him
And heard his voice
And Iām just going red and just processing this
āJordan are you okay?ā Prettyfriend totally knew already, āI donāt knowā I reply bringing my hands in the fucking anime pose of covering blush
Ā LIKE EXACTLY THISĀ
And so ends the november Rollerskating session
It was when I checked instagram later I realised I left a pretty gaping loophole for BTSfan
I said I didnāt want her to take photos of him for me
I forgot she thought he was cute too
So I open up the tagged photo of all the selfies and right at the end there is a small 20 second video of him skating
I LOST MY MIND
Not in anger at what she did, she had said earlier she has a bit of a stalker side
But more of
HOLY SHIT I CAN LOOK AT HIM WHENEVER I WANT
So yeah
That was the first Rollerskating session
Now youāre probably wondering āwhy do you wait a month to post this, you said youād do it after a week!ā
Yes I know.
But then before I knew it the december session arrived
Which as Iām writing this at 11pm it is the day of
1)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā When the video I recorded with BTSfan comes out everything we talked about at the end of the recording will have already happened
2)Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā BTSfan was dared by another friend to either use a pickup line on one of the guys there OR ask them to brush her hair which is how her parents met
Soā¦
She was really nervous about it and she was like
āIf I do that dare, you have to at least say hi to Edward, I donāt care if thatās all you say and then leave, just say hi to himā
And so that was what I set off to do
And holy shit did I FAIL THAT TASK
What I didnāt expect was that 1) I would really miss him after a month and 2)
I HAVE LIKE A SENSOR ON HIM
We walk in a bit late and BTSfan is like āI wonder if heās hereā and Iām like āNo, heās here.ā
WE HAVENāT EVEN PAID ENTRANCE YET, CAN BARELY SEE THE RINK AND I ALREADY DEFINITELY KNOW HEāS HERE
AND I WAS FUCKING RIGHT TOO
This also happens later when weāre playing a game the roller rink people set up and thereās like 30 people on the rink.
I get eliminated and go sit next to BTSfan who realised that rollerblading actually hurts your feet more
āIs he still in the game?ā āYeah.ā āhow do you know?ā and then without looking told her exactly where on the rink he was standing (the game was like musical chairs) She looks behind me and I'M RIGHT
āI DIDNāT EXPECT YOU TO ACTUALLY KNOW!ā
āWAIT WHAT??ā I was shocked at myself tbh
But my mission was to talk to him
And goddamn it I couldnāt do it
If you guys have seen that one OZMAFIA episode on my channel where Kyrie finally confesses to us and I have to read out that line IT WAS LIKE THAT BUT IN REAL LIFE
I JUST HAD TO SAY HI ITS NOT THAT FUCKING HARD
I would get the word, make my voice get ready to say it, sense where he was, time it, see him andā
The words die in my throat
Wonderful Jordan fucking brilliant
BTW BTSfan did ask a boy to brush her hair and it WORKED???? Like, he accepted. And then it got awkward and my friend never talked to him again but hey she did it! and sheās shyer than me!
I JUST HAD TO SAY HI
NOT
THAT
FUCKING
HARD
So, it gets to a point, where I tell BTSfan āokay I donāt think Iām going to do this, physically,ā and thenā¦ā¦
At the worst
And I mean the worst possible timing ever
He destroyed any possible chance that I would be able to say hi to him
God Iām blushing thinking about it
Okay
So, heās doing his cross-turn thing
And I of course go and look at him
And its when I realise heās blocked by a bunch of small children
He has only one direction to go
Which is the wall
Itsā safe and he wonāt run over children
What he would do is crash into ME
LIKE
I noticed this and started to move out the way, but the children blocked ME
AND SO HE CRASHED INTO ME DOING A FUCKING KABEDON
EXCEPT WAY MORE AWKWARD AND LIKE CRASHING INTO ME
SPECIFICALLY PUTTING HIS HANDS ON MY WAIST IN AN ATTEMPT TO MOVE ME (didnāt work)
HE JUST SAYS āsorry, are you okay?ā AND IāM LIKEĀ āyeah Iām fineā AND SKATES OFF NOT REALISING THE EMOTIONAL TRAIN WRECK HE JUST PUT ME THROUGH
And BTSfan is like āare you okay?ā I knew she meant physically because you know someone just crashed into me
BUT AT THAT POINT I WAS JUST FREAKING OUT
I'M FREAKING OUT AGAIN JUST WRITING THIS
āPhysically, yes. Mentally, no.ā I actually could not breathe properly, my heart was pounding out of my chest, I was losing my MIND
The guy I HAVE A CRUSH ON
JUST GRABBED MY WAIST
I WAS NOT EMOTIONALLY OR MENTALLY OKAY WHATSOEVER
āBTSfan, I am having a heart attack and I am not going to be able to speak to him now. At all. Not happeningā
And I just skated
And just
Tried to ignore EVERYTHING OR ELSE I WAS GOING TO ACTUALLY DIE
It nears the end
And the final song is playing
And I brace myself for the final song because last time it was a Bruno mars song that I really hated and I so far they were playing nearly the exact same songs
And thenā¦.
SOME
BODY
ONCE TOLD ME
And I was like āARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?ā
Fun fact: the last time I heard All Star it was Laurie singing it, so yayyyyyy
And I just kept skating and honestly I hated that song before Laurie, it was good for memes but repeatedly and as a song I hated it
But after Laurie I did genuinely start to enjoy the song so Iām singing and skating to this song and I notice Edward dance skating to the song and just
Heās adorable and I really like this boy
So, by this point Iāve accepted the fact I wonāt be able to speak to him and thank every god under the sun that the flashing rainbow lights were still on when he crashed into me
Iām skating, Iām singing, Iām trying to ignore the memory in my headā
āJordan!ā
And instantly I turn my head around and
Itās Edward
Its FUCKING EDWARD
āHow are you?ā
āIām doing good, how have you been?ā āDoing good, only fallen over once so thatās pretty good!ā then he waves at me āSee you later!ā and skates off
I find myself the nearest wall and just process what the EVER-LOVING FUCK JUST HAPPENED
HE SPOKE TO ME
HE KNOWS MY NAME
HIS VOICE IS WAY HOTTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
HE
KNOWS
MY
NAME
AND THEN PRETTY FRIEND COMES OVER AND SHEāS LIKE āHowād go~?ā and Iām like āIf I die, you know the cause, HOLY SHIT HE KNOWS MY NAMEā
So, I just hit blushy mess mode and just
I donāt even remember the rest of what happened
Afterwards Iām putting on my shoes
By myself
Because Iām the only one that actually owns skates and doesnāt have to return them
And then because Iām still sneaking glances at him, he makes eye contact and waves
And just
I wave back because Iām a polite person
And I hope and pray he mistakes the blush for overheating
Just
And then my brother who already knew and came about fifteen minutes earlier comes up to me and is like āI saw you talk to himā āByakuya Iām going to flip a table help meā To explain his name by the way heās a reincarnated 9year old Byakuya Togami
In other words, an emotionless bitch.
He has never cried at a movie. Weāve watched Lion King with him
THE FUCKER DIDNāT CRY AT MUFASAāS DEATH HE IS AN EMOTIONLESS HUSK
About an hour after all the roller-skating happened Byakuya told me that Prettyfriend had asked him to talk to me
Which is fine
Itās just that if I die we all know who the murderer behind the scenes is
I did say āthank you for doing that and also thank you for giving me a heart attackā
So then after all that
Iām here
At 12am
Writing this
Because otherwise I will implode from all the emotions
If yaāll read this whole thing then holy shit you are a legend and I love you youāre amazing thank you for caring enough about my rambles that you read through almost 3000 words when that could be spent on fanfiction
Thank you
Will there be an update next month? Most likely
I will probably be dying then as well
Anyways
I guess this goes under Edward Stories now huh
Or RollerBoy
Eh Iāll do both
Alrighty then Iām going to try and sleep now so yeah
Oooh wait Imma tag @cubedtriangleā in this, girl this is a ride and half, like I thought Laurie was a ride but damn if this aināt a fucking death roller coaster then I donāt know what it is
Okay then everything seems to be in order
Have a good night or morning wherever you are!
Maze Girl out
P.S I want āAccept the crazy and the world becomes more funā on my grave in case I do die from this boy
