Do you know what I absolutely fucking hate?
Whenever I’m nice to a guy and he automatically sees it as an opening for “Hey she’s nice to me, now to try and get her to be my girlfriend”
Because this has happened to me twice now and I’m so fucking fed up.
This time, I’m fearing for my own safety and my friends’ safety.
The first time was back in 5/6th grade, ages ago and the recent one started on Wednesday and is still currently going on.
The first time it was this kid named Neo (no shit, his parents were fucking Matrix fans or something) and he was an awkward kid that nobody really hung out with and he was new to our school in 5th grade (A lot of the kids stayed in the same school, so there was a huge group of us that grew up together since Pre-k, so Neo was out of the little community), so being me, I befriended him. We were okay friends. We bonded over Minecraft cause it was extremely popular at the time. But then he started showing his true colors. He became super annoying and tried giving me stuff to win over my affection. It didn’t work cause I liked two different guys I had grown up with. He ended up flat out telling him I didn’t like him like that and then he started to be more of an asshole. Thankfully, he had moved to the nearby Jr High that wasn’t mine after 6th grade and then I had moved to the next valley over back in 8th grade. Never saw him again, never want to
Flash forward to now, it was Wednesday, picture day, so I was looking like a snack. I was sitting in APP (which is in the choir room) on my phone when I see someone come up to me out of the corner of my eye, so I look up. This guy, named Bryson (I think?), looks different. He’s got surgery scars from when he was younger from a medical condition and he acted differently because so. Automatically, my mother hen instincts kicked in but I also was a bit wary, because of what happened last time. He’s an adorable guy, about half a foot shorter than me, he’s got a deck of Yu-Gi-Yoh cards and was very shy, also a year younger than me. He asked if he could sit in the empty seat next to me so I said yeah. He said I looked very beautiful that day and I said thank you and said he looked very handsome and he was like ‘No one has ever told me that before’ and my mother hen instincts kicked in like a door being slammed open and I let him tell me about his Yu-Gi-Yoh cards and whatnot. He ended up giving me a Yu-Gi-Yoh card because I said it looked cool. I’m already seeing red flags. So later I get checked out to go to therapy and tell my mom and my therapist this and said I needed to give the card back and just tell him that I wish to be friends
So the next day I’m sitting on the floor outside the choir room, waiting for 1st period to start, Bryson comes and sits next to me. He tells me “you look mighty fine today” and I’m like “Lol thanks ^////^” cause I rarely get called pretty or fine or whatever. We’re sitting in APP (which is right after 1st period) and I give him back the card, saying that I couldn’t keep it, but it was nice of him to give it to me. He gets visibly sad. And then he gets all blushy and shy after some awkward moments of silence and says he has feelings for someone. Dread automatically starts racing through me. I knew. I fucking knew who’s he was going to say. So after some overly dramatic – totally out of a fanfiction – stalling/confession when he says he has feelings for me (MIND YOU THAT WE HAD JUST MET THE DAY BEFORE). I freaked out a little on the inside and quickly texted my friend Breanna who was sitting behind me what was going on and out of the corner of my eye I can see Bryson looking down at his lap, his fists clenched and shaking so I hurry up and get over my freaking out and get Bryson’s attention and tell him that I don’t exactly swing that way and that I already like somebody else. After this he’s a little off and then leaves to hang out with his friends.
The third day is the fucking kicker. I’m sitting in my usual spot outside class and Bryson comes and sits down and we talk like nothing happened the day before. He goes ‘something something is late’. And I’m like ??? so I ask him to repeat himself and he goes “Yanderes are always late and I’m a yandere but I don’t know who my senpai is right now” and so I have alarms going off in my head and I’m like. “Is that so???? Cooool….” and internally I’m like “LIKE HELL YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOUR SENPAI IS” and so I’m in APP again and I’m telling Breanna this and she’s like “Pfft sure, that’s not creepy at all *sarcasm*” and then after a bit while I’m hanging out with Breanna and our guy friends, Josh (the guy I like) and Jogn, Bryson decides to join us while we’re verbally shit posting and I’m having a mental breakdown because I think Josh is onto me about liking him and my plans to ask him to homecoming. I dunno how he managed to squeeze his way into the conversation but Bryson does and he flat out says he’s a yandere and while Josh and John are like ???? Dude wtf ???? I look at Breanna and have the look of ‘I wasn’t fucking joking!’ and she’s like ‘oh shit…’ Now I am concerned for not only my life, but my 3 friends’ lives and so I get home and tell my mom this and she’s like ???? What’s a yandere ???? So I look up the definition and she’s horrified. She then tells me to be careful and if any serious red flags happen, tell the VP.
This all happened within 3 fucking days. Now it’s the weekend and I’m dreading to go to school on Monday.
I carry my pepper spray with me now just in case. I don’t know if this guy is serious, but I’m not risking it.
The one time I actually try to make a friend this fucking happens. EVERY FUCKING TIME.
