It wasn’t super obvious. But you could tell. And the perfectionist in me was having a hard time convincing myself it would be fine. The part of me that really wanted to get a new video out was trying to say no one could tell.
I think my brain is melting. I have been staring at my computer way too long.
Keeping up with this schedule is hard work. Publishing videos more often is so time-consuming, and I’m not quite getting the traction I thought I would. Yeah, I’m growing, but not as much as I was hoping.
My phone dings next to me, but I am almost done with this video on deep breathing, so I ignore it.
Until it dings again.
And again.
And again.
My curiosity peaked, I unlock my phone and look at the messages.
Emma
Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit. The guy from the bar is my professor! Red alert! This is not a drill!
Jade
What guy from the bar? When did you pick someone up???
NOOOOOOO
The guy who went down on you???
Emma
YES! Help! What should I do?
Jade
Ask him for a do-over?
Emma
JADE!!!
Jade
Okay, okay, where are you now?
Emma
In an empty classroom. Class is over.
Sara
Did you talk to him?
Emma
No! What would I say? Hi, remember me? The woman who freaked out when you tried to . . . ARGH. See, I can’t even finish that sentence in a text!
Sara
Did he know who you were?
