It started out as your usual day, just my friend and I were bored out of our minds and we had nothing to do so we did what we do best; talk about things. As we were talking about our lives and how boring they are, we couldn’t help but notice this guy who was in the same room just browsing websites and talking on his cell phone. We were in this study area to which you aren’t supposed to use your cell phone but who follows rules nowadays. As my friend and I started to talk about things, the guy decided to excuse for intruding and began talking to us. As we were about to start talking about what the single life had to offer, my friend’s mom told us that we had to go.

As we were leaving, the guy who intruded into our conversation earlier decided to introduce himself to us and we replied. However, because I had my right hand full of stuff, I used my left hand to shake his. As we left, my friend’s mum told us that she was going to get the truck and bring it around because she parked so far away. As we waited for my friend’s mum, she began to ask me questions concerning the age-old question that single people usually don’t want to reveal about themselves, which is what do you look for in a man? I was sort of in shock not because she asked me that question but because she brought it up which she usually doesn’t talk about these things.

I couldn’t refuse to answer the question because I never had the opportunity to talk with anyone about this stuff so I told her, ” I look for someone who has a great personality, makes me laugh, romantic, and doesn’t care about the way I look (in other words, superficial).” Then, she brought up the question about the “what ifs” in a person or as I like to call them “the flaws”. I went on, “I would still go out with a guy based on his tributes/personality but he needs to have good hygiene habits”. She paused when I told her my response and then carefully told me that she is attracted to this guy who is a freak.

Here is how I look at it to how my friend defined freak and how I will define freak within this work. When someone says that this certain person is a freak, my belief is that they think that the person is weird or deranged for what they do or say. N-E-Ways, she mentioned that there is this guy in one of her classes that she can’t get out of her mind and that she thinks that she is appealed by him. I didn’t know what to say because she usually says that she is repulsed by the mere sight of him. However, I told her that she should wait to see if the guy is interested in her.
