Why the hell is he being so nice to me...am I dying and no one told me?
Okay, I saw him today...which is not unusual, considering we work in the same place and it's a rarity that we DON'T see each other. After all these years of working together (and it's been quite a few), it still amazes me how my pulse can race whenever he comes into view. It used to not be that way when we first met. He used to just be this geeky science teacher that I talked to on occasion (and as we all know, the only thing geekier than science teachers are history teachers--har har--okay, just teasing).
But there was one summer, after vacation was over, and we hadn't seen each other the entire 3 month vacation...and when I saw him...man oh man. I remember thinking, "damn, were your eyes that green before? Was your hair that thick and wavy and dark? Did your smile look like that before? Damn, you got GORGEOUS over the summer!" It was very strange...from that day on, I was in love with him. Even after I remembered what an opinionated, misogynistic, arrogant, self-centered asshole he could be at times...now THAT'S love, ladies and gentlemen.
But anyway, saw him today, and he was sooooooo sweet to me. I needed him to watch one of my classes on his planning period for a few minutes and he remembered to come down to my room to do so WITHOUT ME HAVING TO CALL HIM UP AND ASK HIM...amazing. He's been nice and kind and thoughtful and sweet to me for about two weeks now, and I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm dying of some terrible disease, and everyone knows but me...maybe someone gave him a pill to make him a better person...maybe his body has been "snatched" by an alien pod, and the real him is in a spaceship somewhere (hope they take good care of him, but I don't want him back)...maybe it's because I mentioned I was dating a couple of new guys 
....but what the hell does he care? He has her....
Whatever the reason...I'm enjoying it.
It's amazing to me that he and I play these games, and we've NEVER EVEN KISSED...can you imagine how we'd be if we'd ever slept together? I shudder to think...
