As you may have noticed, I have not written about a lot of people from dance. Lately, I have been trying to figure out what the reason for this is. It's not because I don't spend time with them, I see them more than some of my friends from high school. I guess it's simply because I haven't made that quantum leap into friendship with anyone yet. Hopefully that time comes soon, but I'm not optimistic.
Today, I felt some hope that it might occur.
After dance today, both HR and I were waiting until our younger sisters were done. I started reading, but after a while, I was getting bored. Miss L and HR were having a conversation, and I just joined in. We just talked for a while. About school, how she was so much further along in the college process than I was at her age, about what's going to happen when we're handling our own money, all that stuff. When it was time to go, I said goodbye. She said bye back.
She's really a nice girl. Sure, she has a little bit of a reputation for crazy at dance, but who at dance doesn't have that? She's always someone who I felt like there was more beneath the surface. She always gave the impression of being energetic, but I could tell that there was a lot of stress in her life. Not being particularly close friends with her, I could not tell you what was going on. Or, I could be completely wrong, and she could have nothing going on at all.
Most of the time, she's in her trio with CK and NG. She's found the connection at dance that I haven't. And she's a really good dancer. She could go places with her dance, but she should manage to be content with a minor.
She's just someone I'm going to miss when I go away. Even if she won't necessarily miss me.
