I just came back with a little study date with Jennifer. The unfortunate little bitch has a boyfriend. I was afraid of that and saw it coming. I wasted all of that time and effort being nice to her, and for what!?! Just kidding..... It looks somewhat like we are actually going to be just friends! Ughh! It'll be something new to have a female friend without sexual interest on my part. Actually, that's not true, and I already know about that boyfriend nonsense, but I'm just going to play it cool for a while. She'll be around for a long time, unlike Melissa, for whom time was a luxury we unfortunately didn't have. Jennifer's not using me either. She's totally into our relationship for the benefit of both of us.
She called me earlier, like she said she would last night. I had fallen asleep after my last class for about an hour. I was a little spacey because I had just waken up when I called. She told me stop trying to mess with her mind and that she was going to get pissed if I didn't. I thought for a second and realized that I wasn't being as jovial as I was last night. I still don't really know what the hell I was saying to irritate her so, and I tried numerous times to find out, but I kept screwing up. We finally decided that I would go over to her dorm at seven. I promised that I would leave my attitude at home, and she was glad. I think I figured out what bothered her. Kim and I, and sometimes Abby, will start just talking humorous nonsense to each other, pretending to be talking about something although we're not sure what. Stuff like, 'I can't believe you did that!' and, 'Yep, it sure was a lot of fun...' just out the blue. It's funny when Kim and I do it. I guess I sort of fell into that rut a bit with Jennifer and it confused her. Sorry babe! I'll try to ba a little more simple next time. Bitch.
Anyway, I thought about how much I really want to be good friends with her, although that boyfriend problem had yet to be introduced. I decided that I will start being the biggest sweetheart that I can while still being myself. I've found it to be a very rewarding and interesting route to take the past few days. I dressed up pretty nice including a sweater when I was ready to head over. I called her from downstairs and she then came down. We went into the little library. We saw a few girls that she knew and then sat down at a table. I was very nice and talkative. I noticed her tan with the clothes she was wearing. She had on a nice shirt unbuttoned quite a bit. Her tan was at least twice as dark as mine now, and when we were talking about it, she said that it's faded a lot. I was impressed. Of course she is from Boca Raton, and unfortunately will be there all weekend. She keeps telling me that I should force Derek to take me home this weekend since we have three days off.
After looking at what we were supposed to do for homework, I realized that it was very little, it would have taken less than five minutes to copy out of the answer key at home, but I'm glad I went. She wrote, 'Hi Dan' at the top of my workbook and I wrote back to her in hers. I officially apologized for being 'mean' and said that it came from old bad habits that I'm definitely breaking. We then worked through the stuff. I was surprised that so much of the homework came so easily to me. I understand and can do many of the conventions with ease. When she would put herself down the slightest bit, I would quickly contradict her and say something good. I really can be nice! I think I left a pretty good impression because she was talking about how we're going to study for all of the tests and stuff for the rest of the semester.
We then read the comics for a few minutes before we walked outside. We talked for a few minutes there before it got too cold for her and we said goodbye until tomorrow in class.
I woke up early today to make sure that I'd make it to chemistry early so that I could meet up with Emily. I bought my newspaper, and grabbed a Coke, and went and sat out in front of the building on the stairs and read for a while. I stayed outside once second period was released until she came. I saw her before she saw me, but I looked down again. She came up and said, 'Hi Dan!' I was glad she remembered my name because I almost forgot her's. She had her hair tied back today. We went in and sat down towards the front. I'm sure Pedro noticed me with her because he usually sees me eating my bag of candy or what not over in my usual seat to the right. We slouched back and both crossed a leg over the other. We leant n each other practically the entire time.
She's from Gainesville and still lives with her parent's. She went to a school up in Massachusetts for a year before coming here. She's a third year sophomore because not all of her credits transferred. At one point, we were talking so much that when Pedro was asking a question on the overhead, he turned towards me and asked me if I'd like to try an answer. I shook my head and said no, and he turned away and said, 'Good.' Asshole. Faggot. Asshole. Oh well. Wait til he see's my grade! It's amazing to me how much of the stuff that I still remember from tenth grade that I had thought that i had forgotten. Anyway, I walked Emily to her next class which is over closer to Beaty. We said goodbye and then I came home.
