Private - *Sighs* I am such a dunce.
Don’t get me wrong, it was great seeing everyone again. It feels a bit like we haven’t done anything as a group for far too long. I was having a great time at the meal, Sora and I saw a lovely apartment in the morning and I was telling everyone about it while we were eating. She also filled me in on a few Harry Potter facts while we were viewing so I wouldn’t get totally lost during the film, though I’m not sure it entirely worked.
But it all went downhill from there. ‘Keru caught my eye at some point between dinner and dessert; he’d obviously been trying for a while, and signaled for me to shut up. I didn’t really get why at first, but then I realised that Mimi was looking daggers at me and she had barely said a word to me so far.
Anyway I was a bit distracted during the movie, because I couldn’t work out why Mimi was so annoyed with me and it isn’t really my kind of thing anyway. It probably didn’t help that we ended up sitting next to each other and I’m pretty sure Mimi was elbowing me in the ribs on purpose.
After the film I tried to ask ‘Keru if he knew why Mimi was giving me the silent treatment but he and Iori had already disappeared off somewhere. Actually I was kind of irritated that they left me all on my own to deal with the girls discussing the movie at great length and in great detail. At least Mimi seemed to cheer up a bit while doing it.
It wasn’t until I got home that I figured out exactly why she was so angry with me. Honestly I should have checked my computer sooner, I can’t believe I didn’t know she’d invited me out before the movie. I just assumed Sora had told everyone we were arriving together, and she probably assumed that I’d done the same thing. And then I went on and on about what a great time I’d had with Sora that morning. No wonder Mimi was pissed. As Hermione would say; I have the emotional range of a teaspoon.
Is it too late to apologise? I mean I should have got in touch as soon as I found out what I’d done wrong, but instead I’ve spent the time worrying about what to say. The excuses I have sound weak even to my own ears and Mimi isn’t exactly the most sympathetic and understanding of people at times.
Maybe I should just leave it and say sorry in person at the party.
Why do I feel like such a coward for leaving it until then?
