I get tangled up on my loose ends
I hope everyone in the States had a good 4th of July :D Though mine was really busy, a bit stressful and a lot confusing, it was definitely one I'll remember. I'm warning you now that, depending on how much I feel like writing, this has the potential to be pretty long. Actually...no. I'm cutting this. It's only for my sanity that I'm writing it all down so don't feel obligated to read this.
So at 11:30 yesterday, I went up to the park for Community Days, which is basically a whole town party with booths and music and all that fun stuff. So I went up there to meet my mom, her boyfriend and his son to walk around with them for a little bit. Since I was going to spend the rest of my day running around, my mom wanted me to be there for a little bit at least so I was just like, ehh whatever. So I did that until like 1:15 or so when I took off and went to Elizabeth's house. From there, we went to Pat's and hung out with him, Tracy, Allie and Josh for the afternoon. That was lots of fun. They're cool kids. Lou Bega...Can I Tico Tico You? Oooorah! :P
Then around 4:45 I rolled out of there and headed to Jenna's house and this is where the drama of my day unfolds and where you might need some background information: 1.) Wednesday night, Nick, David, Jenna and I made plans on the way home from the movies to meet up on the 4th and watch fireworks together. Saturday night, we confirmed our plans: I would park at Jenn's house because it's near the park and then we would walk over and meet the guys somewhere at 6. 2.) Jenna likes Nick. Nick thinks Jenna's hot but he doesn't want to date her. Nick likes a girl named Chelsea. Okay, on with the story.
So I'm at Jenn's and around 5, we get a call from David saying that we can't hang out with them because Nick wants to hang out with Chelsea and it would be awkward if Jenna was there too. So that was really obnoxious because I don't have a crush on Nick, but apparently, I'm not allowed to hang out with him? So Jenna and I sit around and bash them for awhile before we head over to the park. When we get there, we try to find Julie because she said she would be there all day, but we can't find her anywhere and evenutally end up calling Nick to see where she is. Nick's like, 'Oh, she went home. Where are you guys? We're at Fun Fore All, come chill with us.' What? I thought we weren't allowed. But then Jenna and I end up walking all the way over there anyway and when we get there, Dave tells Jenna that he was really serious and that Nick didn't want to hang out with her (even though this Chelsea girl was nowhere to be found). So I continue to feel worse and worse about the situation because then David and Nick like, completely ignore Jenna and I and I'm ready to punch them in the face because I don't have a crush on anyone there and they're acting as though they can't hang out with me because my situation is like Jenna's! So I was pretty pissed off and when we walked back to the park with them, Jenna and I just walked away and didn't see them for the rest of the night. I end up hanging out with a bunch of Jenna's friends who I'd never met before and thinking that it would probably have been better if I went to the fireworks with Elizabeth and Pat and that crew.
Okay, so after the fireworks, Jenna and I go to find Julie to say goodbye because she had called and said she was coming back for them. We figure that she's probably with Nick and David and Erica and Jesse and she was. Nick was talking to these two girls (one of them may have been Chelsea, who knows?) and then he sees Jenna and I and sets off on this full sprint across the baseball field, scales a fence clearly and practically tackles me, saying "Betsy! I haven't seen you all night!" and then insists we do our handshake. I was about to say something to him about why he had ignored us, but then he went back to the two girls as quickly as he came. It was so weird.
So I know I shouldn't be that upset about this but it's the fact that we had plans, and had had them for awhile, and then they decided to break them because Nick couldn't hang out with Jenna, not me. I didn't do anything to make things awkward. Nick doesn't like me, and I don't like him. It just pissed me off that I couldn't hang out with my friend because of what he thought might be awkward. I guess this is what I get for being friends with a freshman boy. I know he doesn't know what he's doing and that he's got a lot to learn. I want to talk to him but he's clearly in a bad mood and I think something happened because he wrote this depressing new song for his band. Emo boy. No, but seriously, I think that he's sad about something that went down last night, and I'm upset that he ditched me and Jenna. Gah.
So that's my story. It has no end. Lollipops for you if you took the time to read that.
