When I was 18, i was still in love with my ex. We had went out a few years prior but, it didn't work out. We met up again at the city college we were both attending after going to different high schools.
I was still the shy type, i never really moved on a chick unless i knew 90% she was feelin me. Well oh girl, let's call her Tanya, gave me a lot signals she wanted to "try again". Staring long, being extremely touchy, flirty etc. I was in the school library chillin & she came lookin for me. She was like:
"Rey...we never hangout anymore, we should get up"
"Ugh...ugh, i mean its on you, what you tryna do?
(tryna to not sound interested/thirsty)
"We should go see [random movie], come get met this weekend & we can hang out"
"Aight, blahblahblahblah, I'll pick you up this friday?"
(tryna be as nonchalant as possible)
Friday came. I worked up myself thinkin it gonna a romantic ass date. Didn't even have the decency to call, she Myspaced a nigga that her friends were in town & that she couldn't go. Being the young nigga i was, I took that as try harder. Her birthday was around the corner. I thought of every thing she ever told me she liked & I got it for her.

All delivered to her house on her birthday morning. She called me up sayin it was the most romantic thing a boy's ever done for her. I thought I was #Winning. Son.....the very next time i saw her at school, she was hugged up with her new boyfriend, who i immediately figured out was the reason she canceled our date in the first place. Im pretty sure that nigga got her a teddy bear & got his balls tickled by her tongue while i dropped like $400-$500 tryna be romantic. I could literally feel my soul separated from my body completely
Pure Ether son....
