Taking a little writing course and we were asked to write about a turning point in our life. I wrote a short story about leaving an abusive ex. I had to use a lot of artistic licence and change some things as it was only allowed to be a few pages long.
Anyway, that very night - guess who was on my train home!?
I haven't seen him in about 7 years! And here he was. And it turns out he lives in my town now too. FML.
Man what are the chances???!!!
(Don't worry, he isn't stalking me lol. We had an amicable enough split as he was...diddeling else where. So I know it's coincidence. But still-shock horror!).
Anyway, so as not to drip feed the extra stuff...
Another lad from my class gets on my train (lets call him sam). Kinda cute, was a little too happy that it turns out we get the same train lol. Anyway on the way back last week he got off before me and I got up and walked down the train, bumping into you know who (lets call him john). And we chatted briefly. I made up some lie about where I worked when he asked. And he also told me he is taking a college course too.
I felt fine. I guess there's a part of you that always wishes they would apologise for how horrible they were but that's never gonna happen. I actually think seeing him was a good thing as it showed me that I'm over it.
BUT I am now worried that he will be on the same train in future (coming back from college too) and that Sam and I might be chatting. I don't want to expose my job lie. Nor to lie to Sam. I also don't want to say 'hey guess who was on our train last week!' because it sounds so unbelievable! So sam might think i'm bullshitting. I also have learned that it's wise not to trust ppl with info like that, I mean Sam seems lovely but...I barely know him.
I also know that Sam is far too young for me. I think I like him because I like the idea of a younger fella being into me more than anything else. He probably isn't into me anyway.
But I'm thinking...just put my earphones in next week if Sam and I are on the same train home and not chat? :(
