Dangerous Grounds

There's this guy who's my classmate the second time around. He's been quite friendly since the first class we shared. He's said things before like "Let's have coffee" or "Hope we become classmates again."

But the thing is, he has a girlfriend. So I don't know if he's just being friendly or I have to watch out.

Lately during class, since we sit at opposite ends of the room, he’d text me. I guess it’s the modern-age passing of notes. They’re just friendly texts. Then on my birthday he greeted me and said he’d treat me out. I didn’t really think about it much.

Last night during class he texted  “Snow White’s showing already unless you despise Bella Swan.” So I replied that even if I didn’t like Kristen Stewart, come on, it’s THOR! Our conversation was cut short when the professor announced we had a seatwork that would run until 9 in the evening. He texted again saying he thought we would be dismissed early.

I finished my seatwork a little before 9 and left immediately. It was a rainy Friday night, I wanted a head start.

It was almost 10 when I got another text from him, saying that I have a safe trip home. (I was already home by then), and he commented I left the class so fast. I replied that I didn’t want to spend any more time than necessary in school on a Friday night. Then he replied “I wanted to ask if you wanted to watch Snow White.”

Oops. I just gave a flippant reply, but it left me wondering.

If he asked me before I left class I think I would have been tempted to say yes if he asked me. Does it mean anything if a guy asks a girl out to a movie? But who knows, it might have been with a group?

But good thing he didn’t ask in time. Maybe I should stay clear. Just being friendly or not, I want to respect his relationship with his girlfriend. God help me.
