Save The Best For Last (Trevor's POV)

1038 Words
Well... I guess it's my turn - Trevor's POV - “Oh no... it's my turn-” That's all I could think of while everything around me looked as if it was all moving faster and watching Travis quickly go back to his spot right beside Troy it only meant that I was next to introduce and I feel a bit awkward for some reason just because I'm the last one to talk to her... I walked towards her slowly while for every step, I was thinking of what to even say to her. Luckily I was paying attention to how Travis introduced himself so I just thought to myself that I'd rather do the same thing than panic right in front of her on our first meeting and because I'm only one step closer to her, I got no choice on this one ‘cause I usually plan out how I would even start talking to someone I just met and it usually lasts 1 day from time to time while a week for most people I really want to meet to get me comfortable enough to not stutter or do anything I usually do that might make them uneasy after meeting me. On this case, I could only prepare for an hour since Troy just told us about her an hour ago and that we were gonna meet her and introduce ourselves so that definitely made me panic and feel anxious that I only had little time to prepare myself for all this but I really want to make a good first impression on her and don't leave her standing there awkward after meeting me like the many others who've met me in this very awkward and uncomfortable way. Before I opened my mouth and talked, to calm myself down, I just think of how Troy described her to us and after remembering that, I knew I had nothing to fear since she sounds really nice and now looking at her, she greeted me with a warm smile on her lips so it must be true. Now is the moment of truth, with all fears aside that faded all because of that precious smile, I spoke. Thinking all would go well, I was happy, confident, and put on a smile as well. I thought it would go perfect for once because I was rarely ever confident enough to meet someone but here's how it actually went- “Uhm... hi! I'm Trevor, the youngest of the triplets... Nice to meet you Maya” I mean, it wasn't that bad... It actually sounds better than what I usually sound when I talk to others. Sounded pretty excited but still couldn't get that shyness out of me. Oh well, maybe she won't notice it as much as I did? But I couldn't really just brush it off from my thoughts so I did what I normally did whenever I'm worried of what someone thinks of me. So indeed I did it, I looked at her for a few seconds to see how she reacted with all that mess of an introduction I did but to my surprise, she doesn't look uneasy and looked a bit more curious and happy. What I mean by that is like when a kid sees a new animal for the first time in a zoo or something, they look all curious but happy seeing it. That's exactly how she looked as she tilted her head to her shoulder looking at me curiously. That made me flustered somehow, I didn't feel awkward or uneasy in the situation but it felt somehow the same as when I'm being shy but it's like a different type of shy. All confused of what I actually felt, I couldn't tell whether I should just keep looking at her or just look away. So I ended up just looking everywhere from her to the stuff behind her and around her. I then realized it wasn't over, I told myself that the plan was that I was gonna introduce myself just like how Travis did where he ended it with a handshake. Although I was second thinking if I should go through with it or not because all this time I could tell that my hands were getting shaky which started after I got flustered all of the sudden and getting more cold and somehow sweaty on the palms and I guess it's from all the confusing rush I'd been feeling throughout this past few minutes. I was still thinking at the moment ‘til I felt another hand held mine and it was hers. I never realized that I apparently unconsciously put my hand out to her while I was still wondering what to do. Her hands were so soft and the way she held my hand was so gentle that it took me by surprise that it still sort of ended well that I eventually looked straight at her while some sort of new feeling was arising in me that made my heart beat so hard that I thought I was dying or something and it got faster as I caught another glimpse of her smile. At the moment, I felt so strong and confident ‘til it immediately went back to me being easily embarrassed and after it went away, I just went back to Travis and Troy like I was retreating from a battle. Again, it didn't change how I felt even if I was a few steps away from her so since I couldn't control nor did I know what I really felt, I just looked at the floor the whole time. After that, Maya called Troy to tell him something and it seemed private because after her whispering something to him, he told us to stay outside for a while even to their friend who just got back from a call who's also confused about us I assume specially since he mentioned he thought we were “alien shapeshifters”. We went out and I still feel hyper but I'm enjoying it somehow unlike normally I'd be panicking with this rush. Somehow this felt like a rush that I never want to go away.
