Secretos Abiertos

It is seriously this late/early. Don't judge me; I'm about to let you in on my secrets:

I have found a Mexicano to take my thoughts away from me. He is in a class with me. I met him there a few weeks ago. It wasn't a big deal. Earlier this week he helped me take out a book because I couldn't (fuck that shit). The next day he found me reading on a couch in the bibs and we talked for over an hour. He likes Mae and Anberlin and all those emo/indie rock bands that defined much of my high school years. What a surprise! He plays guitar and sings, although not so much anymore since he got to college. (Who hasn't had a band in high school? Shit.) He's 18, a year and half younger than me. (Eeek.) And he's a second semester, whereas I'm a sixth. (Eeek.) He doesn't speak ANY English. He lives in Izamal, which is a town about 40 minutes away.

On Thursday we had class. Afterward, we both had classes at different times. He asked if I could meet him at the bibs after my class. We rode the bus. He asked if I have a novio. I gave him my number.

I had class this morning at 8. I couldn't concentrate. He didn't have class on Friday. But I am about to walk down the stairs and I see him. I lose the feeling in my legs. He came to see me. We went to Plaza Fiesta and spent a few hours of the day getting to know each other.

And I can't fall asleep.

I have a feeling the next few posts in my life will cease to be about Mexican culture... :)

P.S. Read this while you can baby, as I may change my mind and take it down, especially once I get some Mexican friends on the FB!
