Welp, my friends, gather round, here's another tale of teenage angst and woe from your friend Joeby, yes, Joeby, not Joey, Joeby......
Exit Krista.
Enter Michelle.
Michelle the nice, quiet girl. A bit nerdy, but as am I.
Summer school, my mind occupied with Krista, a student enters the class rather late, as it being the first day of summer school, we had very little work, so I had time to drift off, and space out.
I watch her walk to her desk, never, has a girl just had an aura about her, that I am just attracted to. It was as if the room froze, and she was the only thing moving, she was magnificent, I was stunned.
She's not "HOT" either, but she just had this glow about her, that I miss at this moment.
The second she enters, I wonder, where is she going to sit, I look around the room, there are empty chairs all along the sides of the room, but... one is in front of me....
She sits down in the chair in front of me.
I knew right at that moment, I had to plan carefully, and get to know this girl.
She had instantly erased the memory of the one I had loved named Krista.
The next day, I had thought I'd sit in my same seat, and so would she. I arrive about 10 or 20 seconds after the bell rings......
BAM!
She's in the same seat!
Yes!
But No!!!!!!!!!
Another girl is in my seat....
So, me with my quick thinking, just take the seat behind the girl that stole my seat. Ha! Billy, the class clown, which I normally am, would have to find another seat.
"Billy, why aren't you sitting!?!?"
"This guy took my seat!!!"
"Sit down Billy!!!!!!!!"
"Fine...... [insert some random quote from Anchorman in an unfunny way]"
Third day of Summer School, Michelle comes in with a shirt that has a black cat on it, and I wasn't sure if it was my eyesight or not but it seemed like Katakana. Later on she got in front of the class to present a problem, and I had saw it! A FLCL shirt! So, later on, I got the courage to talk to a girl I've never talked to before
"Umm.... Hello"
"Hi......"
"I noticed your shirt... do you listen to the pillows?"
"What?"
"Do you listen to the pillows?
"Sorry, I didn't hear you, do I what?"
"Listen to the pillows....."
"OH! No, sorry......"
I turn my back and start walking very slowly to my desk that was but a yard or two away... than turn around...
"Cool shirt"
"Thanks"
Wow, Joey, you have a way with the ladies, no?
Group work comes around and I join with the only person in the class I knew from my High School (The Summer School program was a whole bunch of HS's at one HS for summer school) Mai, so, we get to doing our work.
Later on that week, we get in to groups of six. Mai, being Asian, somehow joins with 4 other Asians, and I'm left out in the cold, but Mai insists on me joining. So, I do.
The group was Jack, Lynn, Kim [the girl who stole my seat], Mai, me, and Michelle.
I was so glad to be in that group, for I had been feeling out of place, and reverted from the class clown which I was hardcore (but through observations of Billy in SS I stopped being such an annoying jackass, and only goof off in Driver's Ed, History, and Choir on occasion.) Anyway, I had felt glad to be in a group, for I had felt discluded the first few days of Summer School.
Eventually, we all got to know each other, and became good friends. I would get pen tatooes, out of sheer boredom, from Mai, and than Michelle or Kim would warn me I could get skin cancer from it, than I'd freak out, yet still get some the next day.
Later on, I noticed her bag. It had some anime company logo on it, and some Zatch Bell thingy, and on the other side, this guy called Naruto I had heard some stuff about :\ never watched it. Than we got on the topic of what we had done this summer...
"I've barely done anything this summer....."
"The only thing fun I did this year was go to Anime Expo"
"Oh! Fun!"
What the hell is Anime Expo!?
I later found out.....
Another day, another topic...
I point to her bag "Have you seen Naruto?"
"Yes!!!!!!!"
"Is it any good?"
"Yess!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I later watched it that night..... and liked it.
I start bringing my accoustic guitar to school. I wanted to impress her, and Kim gave me the perfect chance... "Why don't you write a song for Michelle?" Michelle looks embarassed
"Sure, I can do that"
I spend some time working on it, and later come back when we had a small break from Math. I got a little to into it. I get down on one knee in front of her accoustic, with my head tilted down, and begin to strum some spanish sounding song I made up.
"JOEY!" The teacher yells "Sit down!"
Kim says " No Miss [teacher] Joey's serenading Michelle!"
I smirk a bit, and Michelle has this humiliated look on her face, at which point I, with a shamed walk, go back to my desk and get prepared to take notes.
I learned to grab a seat, and sit down in between Lynn and Michelle's desk to play guitar, as to prevent further embarassment, though in my heart, I was still serenading Michelle.
Time comes to say good bye, for SS was sadly, only 3 weeks.
Last day.....
I had brought my guitar most of the latter half of SS, and I remember that day, Kim and Michelle requested that I play "Work" by Jimmy Eat World and sing, I tried it, and could sing for part of it, but than I asked if they'd help, and finally got them to sing by themselves. We went through that song a few times, trying to keep from messing up and improving it, but even the mess ups were fun.
Never, had I been that happy, since I moved... I had finally found friends I really enjoyed being around, and it gave me a reason to wake up and go to school.
We finally say goodbye and take our leaves.
Luckily, I got Michelle's AIM, and talked to her alot.
Which brings us to the point of this thread.....
I had decided I'd ask her out... I didn't know when.... but soon.
She's in colorguard, and I thought maybe I should ask her out by going to one of her High School's games and talking afterwards.
Well, I found a show at this local venue I really wanted to go to, and thought it'd be really cool to take her to it.
So, yesterday on AIM, I showed her two of the bands playing... Horse The Band, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. She said she liked Horse, and that Dillinger was ok.
Yesterday, I was anticipating this moment, the whole day, thinking about her all day in class.... waiting for the bell to ring, each moment seemed as though it lasted forever..... in comparison to the moments I'll give later, they were short...
I than acted as fast as I could, because this show would sell out soon.
"Would you like to go out with me to the Horse and Dillinger show with me?"
"Ummm, maybe, but my mom has been saying I've been hanging out too much lately"
Oh my god.... a maybe... some form of hope....
"Well, it's a Monday" I said, thinking I could maybe get her to want to reschedule our date to just a day where we hang out, as opposed to a concert.
"Oh, I see... I doubt I can go than"
"oh, in that case... Would you like to go out with me to do something or go to a park?" >.<; a park.... what the fuck... I would've said get something to eat, but I HATE eating in public, the only thing I feel ashamed of as being a fat person...
"With Friends?"
O.O I have given her the wrong idea! No!
"I mean... as a date..."
"Oh, I see..."
Oh... no... any hope I had now was diminished.... I awaited the I'm sorry, but I uhh umm! A PEANUT GO FETCH!
-Michelle has signed off-
she than responded
"I don't go on dates... ahah so it'd be weird for me..." >.<; Michelle, everyone has to experience new things, and you never know, you could end up having the time of your life. Is what I should've said...... and even that was bad.
"Me neither"
"Oh, I see"
About 3 or 4 minuites, which seemed as an eternity in a hell I'd sent myself to passed by...
She had mentioned homework earlier, which was why I'd brought up the date so quickly, I couldn't take it anymore, and couldn't think the words through so I had to think of it fast...
"Well, I got to do my homework right now... so talk to you later..."
"Bye..."
I felt like throwing up afterwards... I had made so many mistakes, and my friends that I was also talking to at the time didn't help any.... I was so disgusted with myself that I had said those things, done this this way....
I later replied with a
"Have fun with school tommorow :D "
"You too"
>.<;
Stupid Joey...
Stupid Joey....
Stupido Jose....
Baka Joii....
