heck, you know what? ima put it here so you don't have to wait
oKAY SO it was literally the perfect opportunity to talk to him. we were by the campfire, and he was sitting down on a chair looking at his phone. i was standing, and jennie went off somewhere for a second to talk to someone, so we were alone ( with the exception of the other people around the fire ). i debated back and forth for a long time if i should talk to him or not, because my nerves were getting the best of me. but then i went: “emily, this is probably the only opportunity you’ll ever have. just- just talk to him, man.” and so i did
“matt,” he was still looking at his phone and maybe at first didn’t hear his name, but he looked up after a few seconds and seemed surprised i was talking to him. “your sister has my stepdad, apparently?” he paused for a second, and asked me: “what teacher?” “<ryan’s name>” i replied, and he nodded. “yeah, she does. he was pretty great. i mean, i didn’t have him, but a lot of my friends did and they told me about him.”
i was super shocked at this point. “you went to <my parents’ school>?” i thought he went to a different school actually. but he nodded. “did you?” he asked me back, and i shook my head. “no, <my school’s name>.” we paused for a couple of seconds. “my mom works there too now.” “what’s her name?” i kind of laughed to myself at this one, because for some reason he didn’t connect the fact that they were married. “<my mom’s name>” then he nodded because like that makes sense lmao. “she’s a reading teacher there, and she came in later, you probably wouldn’t of had her.” another pause. i don’t remember everything but i know i mentioned how i went there in seventh grade for the bus stop
but yeah, that was really it. but i did it. i conquered my fear and talked to him.
