let me take you back to a time in college (boarding school), so about 4/5 years ago for me. my school had just started this exchange program thing with another school in france. a girl comes in to our school for a few weeks. this girl, damn this girl was amazing. cute and sexy at the same time, funny and the french accent was just the icing on the cake.

obviously quite a few of the lads in school tried it on and failed, so i decided to be tactical in my approach and play the long game. spent a shit ton of time with this chick. mostly talking whilst attempting to drop hints that i fancied her as well (it literally just dawned on me as i’m typing this that i took the stereotypical female approach to conveying feelings). the night before she was about to leave, i still hadn’t made a move. she tells me that her flight is super early in the morning before the school day starts. trying to be all romantic and shit, i told her to come see me before she takes off and she agrees. this next part i’m not proud of. i gloated to everyone that would listen (my roommates got the worst of it). rubbing it in faces of all those who had failed before me. battling insurmountable odds and coming out the other side victorious. i felt like a king that night. i was buzzing so much i could barely sleep.

around 5:30 the next morning, i hear a soft tapping on the window and i practically jump out of bed. i open the curtains not to the face of this beauty, but to a fairly large crow chilling on the windowsill. i mean on the inside by the way. it still baffles me as to how it squeezed in through the small-ish space of the open window. so i’m standing there for a few seconds whilst my sleep deprived brain is trying to process exactly what the hell i’m looking at when one of my roommates turns on the light. that was a big mistake because this fucking bird **goes apeshit**. being the closest this fucker flies straight at me and i get a face full of feathers. i pry this thing off me and toss it. it starts flying into walls, bookshelves and anything unfortunate enough to get in its way. looking back it was perversely cartoonish. there was a lot of “little girl” screaming coming from a few of us in the room but one of the boys finally manages to subdue the bird. 

when the screaming finally died down from the punk ass bitch among us (not me), we were stuck with a still frenzied bird. being daft teenagers, instead of making the right decision and letting it through the window, i get the brilliant idea to screw with the room next to ours and everyone’s cool with it. the lad who subdued the bird and i walk to the next room, i push open the door turn on the light and he tosses the frenzied fucker in there. we run back to our room and listen. one thing about the lads next to ours, i love them to death, still keep in touch with some of them but they weren’t known for their subtlety. they were definitely boys who preferred the louder ways of life. after a few seconds of complete silence, it’s fucking pandemonium. we can’t see what’s happening but we can definitely hear the crashes and noises. we’re pissing ourselves laughing in my room until it begins to dawn on me that these twats are going nuts on the poor fucker with cricket bats and hockey sticks.  a few minutes later our door opens and this thing that really doesn’t look like a bird anymore splats against the opposite wall. i never want to see a mangled bird again. it fucks with you man. no one wanted to touch it but seeing as it was my fault, i bite the bullet and carry it outside. not sure what to do, i tossed it in a bush, said a little prayer (i’m not a complete idiot) and went back inside.

in the end she never showed up. it turns out whilst i thought i was playing the long game, i was informed that she figured i wasn’t interested since i hadn’t made a move the whole time. so that was disappointing. got the piss taken out of me for quite a while for the whole situation just because of how improbable the whole thing was. at least i got a story from it. i also have another fu from my time in college involving my housemaster’s kids and chinese food if you guys want to read it.

tl; dr: fancied a girl, i hope you made it to crow heaven poor crow.
