Evidence

“You are so mean to say so”, Matt jabs.

“If I was so mean, how is it that you are still laughing and finding this funny”, notes Jen.

“It is because you are making me laugh”, amuses Matt. 

(It was clear the Jen wanted to scream out loud “You make me laugh as well”)

Noticing the chemistry between Matt and Jen, it is really an interesting friendship to watch grow. While we hear Matt “suffocate” while laughing, it is clear that he brings Jen so much laughter and joy – rather quite literally taking Jen’s breathe away all together. From far, we envied the laughter and the glances they make. It makes us wonder will there possibly be more than just being friends. While reviewing the assignment, it is always Matt seeking confirmation from Jen - while we all know both Matt and Jen were never the ones doing the assignment. He could have easily turned around and asked Nadine (since she was the one actually doing the assignment). Take a quick glance at how they sat during the formal review session and for the informal networking activity. Did you notice the turn of the leg and the posture of both bodies? Even the hand gestures are so similar.

In the midst of the darkness of the ending ceremony, although silence was ultimately required – Matt nevertheless communicated to Jen, answering rhetorical questions, at the same time amusing Jen. The closeness was rather obvious and it would be pretty oblivious if we could not notice the bond.

Could it ever be this way again? We know that Jen knows this is not a dream she's in. This is reality, this really happened. But Jen evidently knows something which we don't. The closeness might be a sign, but it could mean devastation on her end. Now she must decide what can she do or can anything be done. Jen very well knows that she has to convince herself not to be overcome by pure joy. She has to remain focused that this is all part of just "being friends". It is all fun and games, but at the end of the day - they really don't know each other at all. 


Jen's perspective: When I speak to Matt, I feel that he is the funniest guy. But don't get me wrong, I only feel that he's funny, nothing more. He's just a great friend. We can't imagine or conjure up anything from thin air, and this is definitely thin air we are breathing. 


But Jen, we reckon it was obvious he dropped hints. When you mentioned that your umbrella was missing, and when Nadine mentioned a secret admirer might have taken it, Matt said that you might find a love note once you prop open the umbrella - who ever thinks of that anymore. Why would he make fun of this fact, if he was not that in to you? 


Jen's perspective: Oh well, he was just being funny that's all. Did you know he called my good friend a "geek"? Well, that is really amusing, but it doesn't sit well with me knowing that he is capable of trashing people as well. Or the fact, he notices everyone but me. 


Jen, Jen, Jen. Perhaps perhaps. Perhaps he is playing coy and giving you the benefit to think he doesn't notice you at all. His confession did take you by surprise. It caught some of your attention. 


Jen's perspective: Don't dwell on this matter anymore. We are never going back there after all. We are hardly friends to say the least. Please do not debate this matter with me anymore, as Matt and I are going back to the way we were - unknowns to each another. 


Jen, do think about what you are saying. Will you be able to sleep at night? Consider it.
