This quarter Jake Ryan was once again in my class. It had been a year since we had class together, and several months since our last train ride. I had high expectations for this class and our future relationship. However, 7 weeks of class have passed and we haven't spoken, nor have I had an overwhelming desire to talk to him. There have been a few stolen glances, lingering looks, but no conversation. Sometimes when he speaks in class I have the smallest desire to hit him. But then he redeems himself with his bubbling personality and take on the world. Which brings me to yesterday. There were four of us in a room talking and laughing. Jake Ryan kept walking back and forth in front of me, staring, shoveling pizza in his mouth. I was going to make some smart ass comment on Mizzou kicking KU's ass in the basketball game a few weeks ago (We went to rival schools), but then decided not to. He could also talk to me. Stop staring and say hello. Are you nervous? Shy? Sickened by the sight of me? Say so. Stop it, Jake Ryan. You're becoming a little less fancy in my mind.
