Scott has been staying with us for more than two months now. He's been in the country for more than two months too. It was really my first time to host an American. I gave up my room for him. I know that he came from a well-off family in the states, but he opted to stay with us. I mean, my family is not rich but we can manage to have a 3x a day meal. Going back to him. He has been pretty nice to me. He dances a lot, and I seldom feel comfortable dancing with people I hardly knew. So there was a night when I had to join scott and friend in a bar. I stayed around the DJ's booth. Anyways, well, that night did not go pretty well. A week after that, Scott went out with me and my HS batchmates. Things went pretty well. He was so game with the night out despite the fact that all of my HS friends are geeky. Anyways, that night was a blast. It was my last "gimik" with him because the following week he went to the states to attend a friend's wedding. When he came back, I was pretty busy, and I went to Mindanao. Just this afternoon, he texted me saying that he has to move out because their office asks them to stay with the sponsors. That same afternoon, after he texted me he called right away, and I was really teary eyed to hear that he is moving out. He has been part of my family. So, I was not really expecting to see him leave. So I went home tonight, with the thought that maybe I will not find him home yet. And there I saw him packing his things, my aunt was telling me that he was sort of sad preparing his stuff. Anyways, he has moved out already, and in a way, i know that I will be missing him. I just wish that we had more time bonding together but that was not the case. I was a bit jealous of a friend whom scott has been hanging out most of the time, I do not like Scott in a romantic way, I like him as a friend, have you ever been jealous because of the attention given? Scott is special. And I feel sad. I still hope to see him I guess. Sigh. Anyways, my question, have u ever had a stranger who stayed in your home and become emotionally attached with the person? Do you have friends whom you wish you have more of his / her attention ? I am weird... and my questions are weird. I am just sad.
