Should I be polite or not?

Hmm, I don't know whether this is me being perasan or too sensitive lo. But I have this friend who is really weird. I only have one class with him and to be honest, we are not that close. But ar, he very weird one you know.

There was this time ar, we so ngam went to this presentation event together and he was sitting in front of me. So, of course I layan him la right? After the event ar, we have to sit the shuttle back to our dorms lo. He keep talking to me and I also a bit fan already lo. Should I have said,

"Err, we not very close only you know?"

But of course I didn't say that la. So, I continue layan him.

In the shuttle, he continue talking and talking. He some more sit beside me le. I mean, come on. The bloody bus is kinda empty you know. You could have sat a seat away from me, and I still can hear you! Never mind, never mind. I still okay.

When we were talking, he took his books out to explain to me what he was going to write for the paper. Not his fault, I was the one who asked about his paper. Didn't think he would take out his books and everything though.

Then when he was suppose to get off the bus (we live in different dorms, thank god!), he was supposed to be ready before we got to the stop right? That guy ar. When he reach the stop only start packing you know. I almost wanted to say,

"Err, aren't you suppose to get down here?"

But again, I didn't.

What was most shocking was, while the driver was waiting for him to get off, he turned to me and said,

"I'm suppose to get down here. I'll see you on next week in class,"

and hugged me!!!

Excuse me buddy! I am not the one who wants to talk to you until don't let you get off lo. You were the one who keep talking to me!!

Nevermind. I pretend like nothing and smiled, "Err, sure. See ya next class." and hugged him back. I mean, maybe I was overreacting.

But seriously la, I tried not to talk to him already. Sometimes after class ar, he got come talk to me, and almost like waiting to walk with me lo. Thank god those few times I also was engaged in a conversation with someone else, and pretend not to see him.

Or sometime I make up some excuse that I want to talk to the teacher.

Everything was fine till yesterday lo.

I was talking to other 2 friends and so ngam he nearby. And some more we all walking towards the same direction. *sigh* I was unlucky la, cause both my other friends turned a different direction half way, and I ended up walking with him. Luckily our destination not the same. I tried to get away ASAP.

Me: Sooo, where are you heading?
I started to slow down my pace as I reach Subway's entrance. He stopped too unfortunately.
Chris: I'm heading to the bookstore.
Thank god!
Me: Oh. Well, I'm going to Subway. I'll see ya around.
Turned to leave. Giving major signals that I want to leave badly. But he just doesn't get it. He came closer.
Chris: Okay.
Tried to hug me. *Sigh* I gave in.

So, I hugged him back. Stupid guy. When I said bye, I even turned my body away from him and was talking to him over my shoulder you know. Can't you get the hint! Gosh!!!

But from your point of view, do you think I was being oversensitive or what?? Should I just keep acting polite ar? Maybe nothing le hor?? How ar?

maybe its cause the guy feels EXTREMELY grateful that you layan-ed him. since you know, maybe you are not the only one who finds him irritating, but yet you still talk to him.

if you really dont wanna layan him. stop encouraging him to talk to you. cause in the end, the reason why he talks back is cause you talked to him first. =)

i got story to tellllll.. on my blog. but not now lah hahha

Ok. I guess i shouldn't laugh.

You shouldnt hug him back. Just tell him that u're not that close and that he shouldn't hug you.
