In the end, they were able to convince me to come with them. Particularly because my girl buddy begged me with a sad and worried face. She said that she will feel out of place if I will not come with them and she already said "YES" to them and she's shy to back out. Because of that, I hesitatingly agreed. Telling her that she owe me one. She even promised that we will go home early.
Big mistake!
The place that we went to is a bar with a private room for singing and eating.
I felt that I was fooled. They told me that they're just a few. But I've seen that we're 15 in the room. Most of them, I'm uncomfortable or unfamiliar with.
They were all singing and dancing and shouting while I'm just there staring at the screen with my girl buddy. When they've asked for drinks. Only 4 of us ordered juice because the majority are drinkers. One fat girl even tried to make fun of "us"... telling that we're "babies".
I just tried to smile and kept my cool although I'm already pissed off because I'm not supposed to be in that situation.
Some of them kept on asking if I'm OK and I don't know if I'll feel comforted or annoyed. 2 of my friends even sang a song to keep me entertained. And the "extrovert guy" ( that I've mentioned before) kept on assisting me.
I don't know if I'll feel special or helpless.
And then the worst thing is.... the "girl buddy" was finally convinced to sing a song, and because she really has a good voice, she suddenly became the "diva" in the room. And so I ended feeling left out instead.
And then another thing happened.
The "extrovert guy" told me that he will sing a song for me.
So the guy sang (the song is all about secret admiration). Well, everyone cheered and teased him to the pretty girl beside him (who has a BF). (Like I told you, he is really a flirt to all girls) Well, in my mind I was quite amused because they really thought that the song was for the girl. And they were all talking that a new love team was officially created.
Well, the "extrovert guy" did not expect it. It was so noisy and he was making a a hand signal to me that I did not quite understand. But it seems that, he is saying "there is nothing...". Well, I'm not even sure if he really meant that song for me after what happened so I said "nothing? for what?"
and he said "I'll say it on the phone later".
I felt more uncomfortable because everyone thought that "extrovert guy" has a thing for the "pretty girl". And I'm so scared that somebody will notice that it was actually meant for me. (You know how I hate getting people's attention)
Plus, the "pretty girl" is so popular and everybody loves her. (She's like the counterpart of the "extrovert guy") They might get disappointed and criticize me.
My anxiety worsened when "extrovert guy" said that he will accompany me home. I insisted that I can go home by myself. Anyway, 2 of my friends will go home with me.
I was already so confused at that time so I asked "girl buddy" to go out of the room and I told her my confusion.
She revealed to me that "the extrovert guy" told her that "he" actually likes me... and "he" also likes the "pretty girl". He is not planning of getting a GF because he will leave the country soon. I was so appalled. I felt ashamed to think that "he" only has the eye for me.
I suddenly felt so insecure because I'm so low compared to the "prettiest and coolest girl" in our office.
I honestly felt disappointed because I was close to liking him too. I know it is just a crush but for me if a guy will like me I only want him for myself.
I'm also scared that some of my office mates will know the "truth" and they will start comparing "me" to the "pretty girl" and a rumor will spread.
So now, I just wish that "he" only likes "the pretty girl".
---------------
So at 3 am the event ended. And while we three girls are in the taxi. One of my office mate told the "girl buddy" that "it's good that she was able to convince me" Well, I told her the reason, then "girl buddy" said that she is only a good actress. (I definitely know that she is lying) So much for acting like a hero!
----------------
PS. Well, before I typed this, the "guy" called me and asked if i safely arrived home. I just replied casually and didn't give any sign that I know that he likes me. He thanked me for coming.
I just wish that I did not say "YES". So I would have remained "innocent" from all of "these" things and have never felt like a loser in the group. :
