The beginning of something new

(Before I start this, this happened at the beginning of my first semester of community college. I'm kind of going out of order because I can't think of anything worth noting that happened today. Just trying to make it less mundane and boring.)
Kelly, Karin, and I sat at the anime club table for the student activities fair under the trees in the quad. Trying our best to cut out some flyers and keep them from flying off the table we chatted about what was coming up for the year ahead of us.
Looking around at the clubs displaying what they'd do I made some mental notes. Psychology club, I'll take some candy and put my name down, I'm really into psychology AND it's my major.
SAAT, I don't care what people do with their lungs. CAB, I don't feel like joining a club that has a giant poster of Pirates 3 up. SA, they have bobble head pens, I'll have to look into this.
After sitting there for a while I decided to walk around to see what my choice clubs had to offer. When I walked up to the Student Association table I was greeted by Chris, a tall, important looking middle aged woman, who introduced herself as the SA advisor explained that the Student Association was a great opportunity to help out the school and have great networking opportunities. I quickly wrote down my e-mail address and name knowing that I would be able to meet more people if I did this. I also grabbed a few pens for my friends and I.
Psychology club had a tie dye banner on their table with condoms and candy on top. I picked up some candy and chatted with Christina, the president of the psychology club. Since this was my main reason for going back to school I gave her my name and e-mail address so I could join.
After a few good byes I went back to the anime club table to join my friends. When I got back I handed my friends each a bobble head pen. A few minutes later our friend Pat came up and we started to chat about something, probably anime related.
Out of no where a large man with rosy red cheeks and even redder hair came up to us holding a bag of those bobble head pens. He then asked us if we wanted any in a crazed voice and we all turned them down. He left as fast as he came but it left an impression on me, what a freak!

The day of the SA meeting came the next week. I got to the meeting room really early, the lights were out and people were singing happy birthday. Two other people came after a few minutes, we all just stood there wondering if we should go in. After what seemed like forever the three of us walked in and sat down. We were given information about SA and asked to come back for the next meeting to be voted into positions. It was kind of formal but I couldn't keep my eyes off the SA president. I'd keep looking at him, he'd keep looking at me. There was a lot of looking going on. I decided then and there that I would be a part of this club if only to get close to Mr. President.
When the meeting was over I was about to walk out the door when the red haired guy introduced himself as the advisor of the campus activities board and asked me to join. I decided I might as well.

Nothing ever happened with him. He dated a friend and broke up with her and became a jerk to her and stopped talking to her. I often wonder what would have happened if he would have chosen me instead of her...
