Dear Diary,
Today was the weirdest, luckiest, special day I have had in such a long time!
It was my high schools annual fate, each year on a Friday the school hosts a fate the students have no classes in exchange if they help out with the fate and most people like working at the fate so they volunteer for the weekend shift too, anyway today was the fate and I woke up dreading it.
See there's this guy, Jack, and we dated last year, I broke up with him because he kept accusing me of seeing someone else, I tried to prove to him plenty of times that I was completely faithful but he didn't buy it (I wasn't cheating on him though)!!
I had been chosen to people's tickets, there were two positions for the ticket holders, and Jack was the other person. My first instinct was to fake sick, but the dominant part of my brain made me get up and brave the day. When I got to school we all had to assemble in the hall as per usual, the headmaster gave a brief speech on customer service and how no matter how rude people are to you always be a gracious and caring host.
We then broke off into the sections we were assigned to and our supervising teachers gave us our break times and how they wanted everything to be handled today, same old boring spiels…
We then went to our booths; I was there first so I took my seat and prepared for the day ahead.
No one had told Jack that I was the other ticket handler; I practically had to bribe Miss Swanson to tell me. Anyway when Jack walked into the booth he nearly fell over, I mean I knew he didn't like me, but was it really necessary to throw it in my face like that!!
"Jenny! Are you working in t-this booth?"
"Looks like it." UGH! WHY ME, WHY HIM, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Oh, okay."
They were the only words spoken between us from 9am till 11am; dullest three hours of my life! Truth be told; I still loved Jack I never stopped, not that I'd ever tell him that.
But at around 11.30 he finally spoke to me.
"I can't do this anymore."
"Can't do what?" Is his plan is to torture me, because I know it's hard to be around me but must he rub it in?
"This whole silence thing, it's stupid and childish and what happened in the past is in the past. Can we just have I don't know some kind of conversation before I die of boredom?"
"I'm not much of a talker." I didn't mean to be so anti-social but it's true apart from Chris and Bree I didn't really talk to anyone else
"Bullshit, it used to be hard to get you not talk!" Greeat he's already starting
"Well things change, so do people!" I snapped at him; he flinched, good! "A lot has happened in a year not that YOUwould no!" another flinch
"I guess I deserved that, but I mean you must have something to say."
"Nothing you'd want to hear." I whispered it but he heard the little hissing noise it made, damn!
"What?"
"I don't have anything to say to you Jack, if you'll excuse me it's time for my break."
I don't know why I was being such a bitch to Jack, I mean I broke up with him he should be angry at me not the other way around, oh well in my case any contact with him was a plus even if it was a semi argument.
When I came back Jack seemed to be in a really good mood, which was odd considering I'd been gone for like ten minutes.
"Oh good you're back, now can we have a nice civilized conversation, you know the kind without sarcasm?"
"I guess." I huffed
"So how's the family?"
"Well they're alive, so in my eyes never better." *smirk* "and yours?"
"They're good, and what about you? How are you?"
"Can't complain, well I can but I'm not gonna. And you?"
"Why won't you? It's good to let out some pent up feelings, relax a bit."
"I don't tell my problems to anyone, and if I really wanted to tell someone I'd tell Bree or Chris."
"So you and Chris are-?"
"Still best friends? Yes, yes we are."
"Oh, is Bree that new girl?"
"Yes it is; she is like a sister."
"She's hot." I couldn't help but feel like I wanted to cry at that, I was nuts to think I could ever have a normal conversation without wanting him!
"mmm." was all I said; conversation now dead!
Nothing really happened for the rest of the day, until it was three o'clock and we were sent home.
Bree and I were having a sleepover at my place, and as we were leaving Jack came running up to us.
"JEN, Wait up!" I rolled my eyes, Bree just raised her eyebrows she had no idea who this guy was. I slowly turned around
"What!" so I was a little blunt, I was getting sick of not being able to hug him already
"I was wondering if you'd like to do something tonight?" Is he asking me out again, OMG
"Sorry, I have plans already. Bree's sleeping over." *JENNY YOU LOSER WHO CARES ABOUT BREE!*
"Oh okay, another time then?" I simply nodded then Bree stepped in
"Jen don't be an idiot, if Jack wants to come over he can. He can take Chris's spot, he bailed on us."
"I'm sure Jack doesn't want us to bore him to death with our lame horror movies B."
"Actually it sounds kinda perfect." *FUCK, Bree & Jack in the same room, he already thinks she's hot great I guess I'm going to be a third wheel*
"Okay" I said with a put on smile, they seemed to believe it so it was all good
