its funny how certain people change, and how others are still on the "i can't think for myself yet" clock. i was walking through the mall the other day and was very nervous about seeing people i know because i just didnt want to get into that. i am a very shy person, and very awkward at times; i just didnt want to get into any unnecessary awkwardness with past people that i had known. however, as i walked over a bridge i found my hand raising with a mind of its own, and a smile spreading across my face as the word "hey" came out of my mouth. there was a boy that i recognized walking towards me with a girl whom i did not recognize. he did one of those finger waves...you know the ones guys give where they raise their hands no more than a inch, palm down toward the ground, two fingers outstretched, and no higher than the waist. i wasnt sure whether this was because of the girl he was with, or if he still thought that i wasnt good enough to say hi to, or if he just realized too late that it was me saying hi. with new found popularity in the last year of highschool, i wasnt sure whether he was still ruled by that coolness even though we had participated in a group together for six years during school. i know now why it is that the people who would walk right by you in school all of a sudden act like you were best friends when they see you around college campus...its nice to have someone you have something in common with, a familiar face, someone to associate with even if you couldnt ave been friends in the immature scenes and bounds often found in highschool. if it had been anyone else from that particular "high class" group from highschool, i would have gotten a wave and a smile, but i guess maybe he just got too caught up in the status and it carried through to college. some guys will never get over that holier than thou act because it makes them feel better even if just for a second. i just wish that some people would grow up and get over their old bounds to grow towards new people and past old relationships that keep them tied to the highschool way.
