Hello all you unsuspecting people. This is going to be where I rant and rave about my stupid, crazy, and (rarely) fun life and you are going to shut up and read my confused ramblings. (to protect me all names have been changed) Here goes…
It started at my church. We had a picnic. All lot of people were there, including every single guy in the whole church. Unfortunately for me, that included this guy we’ll call Rick. Rick is the cutest guy I have ever seen. I had a big crush on him last year. Really big. Stupendously big. It didn’t matter that all my friends said he was a jerk, or that he's older than I am. I still liked him. A lot. Anyway, at this picnic, I saw him for the 1st time in like 6 months. And, during all that time, guess what? My liking wasn’t gone, just dormant. So here I am, liking this guy Rick, when the dude I’ve liked for 2 months now, Tod, walks by. Oh, and he stops and says hi. To me. Yeah, so that is where things are when Tod’s younger sister finds out I like him. So, Jenny is almost rolling on the ground, laughing, when who but Tod should walk by and say, "What's happening?" and I tell him, "Go away." Well he does just that.
Before I go on, maybe I should explain something. I like Rick because he’s soooooo cute. It’s wrong, I know, but I can’t help it. I like Tod, because he’s funny and smart and cute (but not as cute as Rick). Ok, I‘ve got that covered. Now, I can go back to the story.
That is what happened before church started. This is what happened after church. There is this guy I haven’t seen in more than a year. His name is Nate. He somehow became cute in that year. But I don’t like him, I just think he’s cute. I start talking with his sister, and then start talking with him. After he goes off to hang with his friends, this guy Jason (a friend of Tod) just sits down in the chair next to me and starts talking. Well, since this has happened several times before, I think nothing of it. But, after he goes home, Nate’s sister, Naomi, says to me, "Jason likes you, Rose" I protest since we’ve known each since what? Kindergarten? But she holds firmly to her belief. And I start to think that maybe it’s possible. But I really don’t think so.
As I start to process all the things that have happened in that day, I go sit down with my friends, Nicole and McKenna. I tell them what happened without names (because everyone knows Tod, Rick, Jason, and Nate). They sympathize nicely with me, but right in the middle of what I’m telling them, Tod walks up. I am not one to tell him to go away, so I say to Nicole and McKenna, "I’ll tell you later." Anyway, all of us, and Jason (who came after Tod did), we talk about books, we have read. Then my parents call me, and I depart after saying goodbye to everyone. That is what happened that day. It was full of confusion, but I made it through.
