A Friend zoned Friendship

This post is specially dedicated to a friend. I had promised him to blog about him some day but couldn’t make up my mind until a Friday night at 2 a.m. There are lots of incidents scrolling up and down in my mind and I do not know where to start (He is such a fussy guy!). Not wanting to reveal his name, let’s call him Mike. I left my school a couple of years ago and as I left, he joined! I met him through my old-school friends but have never seen him in reality. He claims to have seen me standing just in front of him while entering an examination center.

I had a friend whom I know for over 15 years now. It was this guy who made our contacts. I do not trust anybody online (not in the least after so many cruel events of my life) and so I was hesitant to make any contact with this new guy. Well, I tried authenticating details about him from other friends in contact. Now this guy Mike behaved so unsatisfactorily the first day that I was totally sure he was a wrong person. From the very first text, he began flirting (and believe me it was the cringiest flirts I have ever encountered and I have told him that so many times!). He went on flirting a thousand times and I went on rejecting a thousand and one times (I reject if he still does). After some sessions of “cringe” flirting, he finally gave up! We have been good friends for a long time now. Lemme tell you a secret-The best way to embarrass him is to recall how cringe he was a year before (That’s how I take my revenge when he infuriates me)!

This was a glimpse of his “wrong” sides. He is such a sentimental homosapien that I am sure he’s gonna move with a red face after reading the first paragraph and his reaction would be, “Hey why did you do that?? You always see my wrong side! Can’t you be a little liberal sometimes?” So let’s be a bit liberal and talk of his “Best” sides (are you happy now Mike?). He has been truly a great friend. I mean a really great one! Has been so helpful all the time. Even after a thousand rejections, he would still be there for the same girl whenever she needs. Even at late nights, when I felt like my mind would burst out, he would be listening to all my chatter without getting vexed. He has always been there as a true friend and that is what is best about him! I am writing this because, as friends we have always been making fun of each other and I have never said a single good word about him but hey, you are a great friend and a wonderful human being.

I know, after reading this he would be smiling to himself but wait don’t be so happy! I know I wrote good about you but I won’t quit making fun of you! And don’t you dare feel happy thinking, “Oh! She’s been thinking of me late night!! What a surprise!” I wrote of you cause I had nothing to write (Wink! Wink!).
