Hiding

At choir, I was starring across the room where the basses sit. Like, omg, have I ever mentioned how much I've fallen in love with the bass voice? It's been a recent romance, having only developed since June. Anyway, no one's really concerned with that romance… And that's not what I want to talk about.
The point of this blog is to tell you about an embarrassing something that happened on Tuesday. So as I was saying, I was starring off into deep space toward the bass section admiring their voices and feeling bad for them. The teacher is very hard on them. Really hard on them. But it's fun to watch them make faces. Especially one guy in particular. (Ben I think his name is, but I'm not sure if that's the correct spelling) . He makes the funniest faces sometimes that remind me a lot of my friend… So I was gazing in their direction. (Staring probably would be the more appropriate word, but I'm pretending I wasn't rude.) And suddenly, or unintentionally, I lock gazes with Ben. This has happened once before with him, at the beginning of the semester. We were standing in the hall and I thought he was trying to catch my eye so I attempted to catch his. Then there was a long process of both of us looking confused not sure if we were trying to look at each other or not. Well, this time it started out like that, both of us looking confused about staring at each other, but then it took a turn.
I don't if he smiled and then I blushed or I blushed and then he smiled, but the result was the same. Now, let me quickly explain his first smile. It was not a big toothy smile or anything it was not even a complete smile. It was more of an amused happy look on his face and I'm not even sure if his lips were at curled in a smile. But after that "smile" and I grinned back, out of simple "niceness", and THEN an amused smile appeared on his face. My cheeks flared red.
See, if blushing isn't enough, I was so clever as to hide behind my music sheet. There's something that expresses absolute embarrassment when you hide behind you're music. Well, immediately this made me look more embarrassed then just blushing. So I poked my head out above my music just to discover with no doubt whatsoever, he was most assuredly looking at me. Before all this, I wasn't positive, I had tried to tell myself he was looking past me. But now, with my cheeks raging as red as cherries, he was most defiantly looking at me and grinning. I ducked behind music again. My stomach was a raging cave of carnivorous butterflies. I stole a few more glances in his direction but avoided his entertained eyes which I thought were still looking at me.
So that's my embarrassing tale. And the moral of this story is to not hide behind your music, it just makes you look like a total girl who is crushing on someone. The End.
