My plan was originally to report my progress every day of school, but after realizing that this would be way too time consuming and not nearly useful enough to justify the work, I've decided to instead report at the end of every week.
For those who didn't read my first FR, I'm a sophomore from Michigan who's just moved to Texas, which gives me a fresh start at a new school. I intend to take full advantage of my new identity.
So, updates in all of my classes:
In first hour, there still aren't any targets. It's a class for me to retake an English credit, so it's me and a bunch of upperclassmen. I'm loose friends with the two guys I figured would give me the highest value, two juniors -- one a kind of retro styled guy and the other a high-valued metalhead guy. I probably won't ever have anything to report from this unless I go to a party with one of them.
In second hour, magic has been happening, ladies and gentlemen. We got seating charts which could have seriously hurt my game -- this is a keyboarding class so the whole class is spent sitting down. However, the stars aligned and my target (HB9) sits two seats to the left of me. If you don't mind the illustration, it's like this:
x X x O
O = Me
X = Target
Directly to my left is a freshman (she's a 4, not gameable), then it's the HB9, and to her left is this creepy guy who spends most of the class engaging in awkward conversation with her and DLVing himself. Whatever, all he can do is make me look better, right?
Anyways, I realized the first day that I was way too high energy with this target -- my mistake, but I learned from it. I learned from my first high school experience that the secret to high school game is to break your game down very slowly. In keyboarding class, even slower -- so I'm really only talking to her once or twice every class. However, in each of these little snippets, I'm DHVing the hell out of myself.
On Wednesday during a particularly dull part of the class I stood up, grabbed a piece of paper and started playing Hangman with the freshman to the left of me -- I can't be giving too much interest to the HB9 at this point. After I kicked the freshman's ass twice I stood up, walked over to the HB9, slapped the paper down in front of her and said, "You're on."
The teacher yelled at me to sit down, which I did, but I winked at her, signaling her that we'd have to play in secret. So using the freshman to the left of me as the middle-man we played Hangman back and forth. I kicked her ass. I challenged the creepy kid to her left but he said no.
By day 4 she was laughing at all of my jokes and calling me by my name, and today, something amazing happened. She followed me. As I left class and started walking through the main hallway to my next class I felt a shove on my backpack.
Looking back at her, I grinned and said, "Are you stalking me?" She declined and I said, "Oh, I see, you're not following me -- you're just walking in the same direction, that's all." She started getting offended so I laughed, flash a big grin and said, "I'm just fucking with you, babe! Come on!" She laughed and said, "No, I'm just messing with you!" I pulled her in to a walking one-armed hug and told her "Alright, this is the part where I ditch you. Be more sneaky next time, okay?
" She laughed and said alright.
Today I got up and played the hand-slap game with her, and after beating her "You're too easy!" I did a back-turn and SHE PULLED ME BACK. Ladies and gents, it's on like Donkey Kong. I'll take that as a solid IOI. I probably should have number-closed after class, but I feel like I should wait until I get more kino going. Maybe next time I'll "accidentally" bump into her in the hallway and after a high-point #close.
Third hour is all freshman, no real targets, so nothing to report, really.
At lunch I sat at a mixed-set table for a few days, but it was way too dull and they were just boring people. So today in line for my lunch I noticed a guy in crutches and an HB7. I started by opening the guy, for a change, and said, "How'd you get injured?" He said football, but afterwards the HB7, feeling left out, said, "SEX!" I laughed and he asked if that was even possible, and I said, "Oh, I see what happened -- you were having SEX in a tree and fell. Happens all the time." HB7 laughs at lame joke. It's on.
We made small talk throughout the line and towards the end I said, "Hey, where do you guys sit?" They pointed and I said, "Cool -- mind if I sit with you guys? Actually, I'm in Texas -- mind if I sit with
y'all?" They both laughed and said sure.
New table has probably 3 targets for me to play with, so it'll be fun.
Fourth hour, no targets, really. I'm friends with the Asian kid next to me.
Conclusion: What I've learned this week really enforced what I already knew, and reminded me of a few things. In High School game, you cannot rush anything, you'll come across as way too high energy. You want to break everything up very slow. This conserves your material, anyway.
You want to be friends with the ENTIRE class, not just her. You're basically guaranteed to see her every day anyways, so make every day a DHV.
I'm sitting tonight's football game out, but I'll most likely be going to the next one, so stay tuned.
Peace, love & rock and roll,
Blues
