Mind Reader

Am I the only one who knows exactly what people are going to say before they say it? I often am convinced I can read minds. Especially the male mind. I do observe people and that may explain why I think I can read minds, but still. Everyone is just so obvious to me. I can tell when someone is lying to me. I just know. Boys are the biggest give away. The story of my conversation with my friend last night is perhaps the perfect example. So the sake of confidentiality, we'll call him Phineas, Finny for short.

Late last night I receive a text message from a boy. My friend Finny, whose feelings for me continued to grow more strongly each day, wrote "there's something I need to tell you the next time I see you." (For the sake of argument, let's just analyze this statement right here. "There's something"... something.. what is this something? A story? A problem? A sentence? "I need".. not want.. need. He has to relay this something to me. It is important very important. "To tell".. not say.. tell.. that word threw me off a little. I think it was suppose to. He put that word in there to throw me off of what I already knew he wanted to say. "The next time I see you." It has to be in person. He cannot tell me over text messages. That makes it much more significant." In response to this message, I played his game. I did not ask what this something was, I simply attempted to receive more information from him in order to confirm my belief on what he had to tell me. So I said, "Why didn't you tell me today?" His response, "I wasn't sure." (Whoa.. wasn't sure.. wasn't sure of what? Wasn't sure of what he had to say.. wasn't sure if he could trust me... wasn't sure if he felt that way...) After that huge giveaway, I said, "Is it a bad thing?" His reply, "I hope not." (That means that he thinks it's good.. but knows that I may not think so..) Then I asked if it was about him and he said yes and no. (Yes and no.. well that's an easy one. It's about him so yes.. but it's not just about him so no. It's about me too.) I asked him if he would forget to tell me the next time I saw him. "I definitely won't forget." (Well shit this is important.) Okay, now to the best part in my opinion, "Are you going to tell me before I leave or right when I see you?" "I'm not sure yet." (That was like icing on the cake. I'm sure after my over the top analyzing of the situation it's obvious that he is going to tell me he loves me. Hmm.. maybe that would have been obvious to anyone. I don't know. I still think I should get some kind of award for knowing the hidden meaning behind each word Finny was saying. Haha, it'll be hilarious when he tells me tomorrow that he is moving to Africa.
