Different Wes

As I walked towards the breezeway where our group liked to hang out I was still wondering what I was going to say to Andy.I passed Wes and he smiled briefly at me.We had English together and he’d started talking to me before class.Wes was a quiet guy, on the tall side, and wasn’t much for sports.And he openly admitted it.He wasn’t very good, and he didn’t really enjoy it, so he had never tried out for a single team the entire time we’d been at high school.He wasn’t some kind of weak freak, and he actually wasn’t that bad at basketball, it just wasn’t his thing.He was smart, but he wasn’t an annoying nerd.He was interested in filming, the radio and TV kind of thing.And he was cute in a different kind of way.He cute longish(for a guy, not like girl length, just not really short)brown hair and deep gray-brown eyes.He was ordinarily a little shy;though I soon learned that around people he knew well, he was quite the extrovert.Overall, he was just a really good guy, but definitely not a kiss-on-the-first-date guy.
