Library of Awkward

So this is what happened to me last week.

I was in the library visiting my roommate who was camped out there studying in one of the booths at the back of the library. This kid had left his stuff on a table behind us and came back to work on homework. He said "psst...you watch your friend study." His English is not the best, since he is a foreign exchange student from Vietnam. My roommate and I both chuckled, he then proceeded to continue a conversation with us asking for our names. Coincidentally, all of our names begin with an A, so he gave us the nickname Triple A. Kinda awkward, right? Well just wait...it gets better.

So I get up to leave to go to class and he stops me and shows me his YouTube channel. It is full of weird videos that he has made. He learned that I am a NESComer and said he wants help with his videos. I told him that I am not a video student and he told me that that didn't matter. He gave me his number and would not let me leave until I texted him because he knew that I wouldn't have if I just left, and he would have been right. He has a way of pressuring you into doing things. (He is the same guy that pressured my other roommate into saying yes to go to coffee with him.) So I texted him, which turned out to be a big mistake.

 He sent me a text later that day asking if I was done with class and coming back to the library to hang out and chit-chat (his words). I told him no and that I was busy. He called me a couple nights later. Boy was I surprised. I could hardly understand him, so I was asking him to repeat himself pretty much the entire time. During this phone call he asked if I was at home or on campus. I lied and told him that I went home home for the weekend. He proceeded to ask when I would be back. I told him late Sunday night, hoping that he would leave me alone. The next sentence out of his mouth was "when you come back you can take a nap and then meet me to watch the meteor shower." I then told him that I was too busy and put an end to that little brain fart of his.

He then sent me a text a few days later asking if I wanted to hang out. I then replied that I would appreciate it if he would stop contacting me because my boyfriend is uncomfortable with it. Totally just wanting him to leave me alone. His reply was a simple okay.

I definitely learned my lesson from this awkward encounter!!
