Rumour has it that someone (a she) became good friends with the girl she was stalking. This all started in year one of university, after that someone saw the girl in an intriguing theatre production. She immediately caught on to all the details about that girl. Seeming to bump into her almost always on campus (the girl lived on campus then), trying to “stalk” her didn’t prove to be all that difficult.

The girl was always with her best friend, who was in the same cohort (year/class). She sometimes had a boyfriend by her side, and when she does, it’s most likely that her best friend had HER boyfriend there, too. It was a handsome foursome. The girl weren’t exactly she’d call hot, but she was definitely eye-catching with her wacky sense of style (in a good way). That someone would seize every opportunity at catching the her and kept all things about her fresh in mind. It might sound ridiculous, but at the time all that someone wanted was to be friends with the cool twosome (the girl and her best friend). Eventually summer came and the infatuation faded as all of them went their separate ways.

That someone knew they’d be back together in the fall, when school started again. Less enthused then, she still saw the girl and her best friend here and there. Then, in the spring 3 years ago, that someone had the chance to work with one of the twosome (the best friend) in a school mainstage production. After that she continued working with her on several small projects.

But what really brought them together is last summer’s project. Both the girl and her best friend were cast in a play, and that someone is the lucky stage manager. She finally had a way of means to REALLY stalk them — or, she merely had a justifiable reason to ask every kind of question (if she wanted to). And through that show, she and the girl just started hanging out more often! A short period (and a whole bunch of drinks/parties) later, they slowly become good friends. Eventually they collaborated on a film together. They will probably remain close friends in the years to come.

Rumour has it, eh? If someone asked me to tell a success story from my life, this would be it. (Of course, I was the one doing the stalking).
