Missing: HMV Boy

So this has sort of been a thing of the past. (Practically 2 years ago, actually.)
But I decided to bring it up again... because I haven't seen you in almost half a year...and this feeling feels weird. 

Confused? Let me let you into the backstory of it all...

So once upon a grade 10 year, my mother would drop me off every Sunday at marine drive and main street for 
play practices. And almost every time, I would see this boy on the bus. 
I never thought anything of it. He seemed plain enough and I was normally half-awake (if even) at this time. 

However, he started popping up everywhere I went. 
Even during after school practices when my mom would occasionally pick me up from marine drive and main street. 
He always got on/off at 41st. 

Then I figured...well, he probably lives/works around here. "Yeah," I thought to myself, "it is kind of weird that we have the same bussing schedules..." but I shrugged off that thought. And, for some time, I forgot about him. 

Until play-week came about. And (I forget which show day it was) during one of our breaks...I bumped into him at Oakridge. Well, not literally BUMPED into him--but I saw him! Working in HMV to be exact. And I told everyone in play. I told them the story that I am currently typing and sure enough, they were all freaked out as well. 

Kal-el and Jomar pitch in some jokes about me liking HMV boy and all of this silly five year old stuff. And then I hear about Marvin's Samurai Girl. (Which is way less serendipitous than mine...)
But anyways, he sees some "cute" girl working at Samurai sushi. And the boys (Jomar and Kal-el) dare him to go tell her she's cute. Which he does. 

Some time goes by...and Marvin and I occasionally tease each other about Samurai Girl and HMV boy whenever we go into either of the two. However, one time we did go into Samurai...Samurai Girl was A C T U A L L Y there. 
So the teasing went on and on. And then I decided that I'd go venture out and look for HMV boy. 

However, I THOUGHT I saw him walking down main (about 6 months ago), skateboard in arm, and I freaked! But I was on the bus and "he" was crossing the street. 

Anyways, that's the story.

HMV boy is pretty skinny, wavy brown hair, greenish-grey eyes, pale skin, pretty big lips, soft looking face, drinks organic drinks, plays guitar, and skateboards.....so if you're him....and you're reading this...
I think the serendipity of it all would just kill me.

I wonder if you moved? Or maybe you just quit HMV...which would sort of ruin the name...
