Ready or not
Next morning:
I wake up in my bed thinking that this senior year so far hasn’t been anything special. Nothing exciting has happened yet, and school’s over for good in a few months. The Valentine’s Carnival is this Friday, so maybe that’ll “liven” things up. I’ve been thinking of asking someone—anyone at this point. I haven’t been on a real date in a long, long time. Maybe Logan and I should double date. Not each other…you know, with other people. Since my last real date or serious girlfriend was sophomore year, I seem to be the only one dateless. I wouldn’t say that I’m hideous or that I’m some ‘Orlando Bloom.’ I just am who I am. But anyways, I just always seem to find the wrong girl. Every time my date thinks everything’s going well, I can’t help but to think otherwise. It’s a mystery to me as to why this still happens. But maybe things have changed since sophomore year—the change is now just more noticeable.
Kevin: *pops his head into my room* Hey bro wakey, wakey!
Me: AH! *he startles me & I throw a pillow at him* Since when are you awake at this time? *I sit up & squint at him*
Kev: *excited* I dunno! I kinda just…woke up! *holds his arms out feeling proud*
Me: Ya, I see that *I give him an un-amused look*
Kev: Ooo, you’re sassy in the early mornin’ *gives me a smug look & walks away*
Me: *I roll my eyes then yell at him* You know, I’d throw another pillow at you but I ran out of ammo! *I shake my head at him & get ready for school*
At School…
Logan and I were waiting outside Ariana’s classroom while she talked to a teacher before class started. I didn’t want to waste anymore time so I had to mention finding dates for the Carnival…
Me: *I stuttered for a second before speaking* H-h-hey Loge, you think we could somehow double date Friday for the carnival?
L: Yeah sure man, just tell me what I should wear *nudges my shoulder & laughs*
Me: Aha, that’s hilarious *I give him an annoyed look* But I’m serious here. I haven’t had a date since—
L: The Stone Age? *gives me a teasing look*
Me: *I point at him* Hey. It hasn’t really been THAT…long *I chuckle then get serious* Has it?
A: *walks up to us* What’cha talkin’ bout!?
L: The last time K-dog’s had a date
A: So like the Stone Age?
Me: Ar??
A: Sorry, had to eavesdrop just a little
Me: *I roll my eyes* ANYWAYS.The moral of the story here…is that we need to find dates for the Carnival, Friday
A: Samezies. Maybe we can TRIPLE date, huh? *points at us all excitedly*
Me: That sounds awful
A: Hey, I’m not that bad once you get to know me *nudges my shoulder*
Me: *I try to be angry, but can’t but to smile at her*
*The bell rings for first period class, finally*
L: *puts his hand on Ari’s shoulder* Got anything better?
A: *shrugs* I got nada
Me: We can talk about it later *I start to walk away to class*
L: Don’t worry, we’ll find you a date, lover boy!
Me: Very funny! *I yell over my shoulder*
