Diary of the Dumpster
Okay, you know what? I can't believe neither one of them is talking to me. I'm not the one who messed up here. I'm not the one who went overboard. I'm not the one who can't tell the difference between flirting and dating.
Man, I was only trying to help.
Jason came over to my house to work on a paper we're doing together, and we got to talking after, you know? And he started telling me how he wanted to ask Trini out, but didn't know how to tell if she was interested anymore, and he didn't want to make a complete idiot of himself. Which I can understand. So I said, you know, make her jealous, then you'll know.
Well, that's what Curtis told me to do when I wanted to get together with Angela. Okay, so it didn't work so well that time. But Curtis has dated some, you know? And I haven't, much. Well, not at all. So I figured go to the man who knows what's going on. And that's what he said, so that's what I told Jase.
So we go to the Youth Center, and Trini's there, having a smoothie. And she like waves so I go over, but Jason gets all weird so he goes to work out. So me and Trini are shooting the breeze, and all of a sudden she gets this look on her face, like she sees a bug she wants to squash, or smells something real nasty.
So I look around, and there's Jase, no shirt, talking to this hot biker babe name of Emily. And he's flirting, you know? He's working it.
So Trini gets all red and makes some bogus excuse and gets her stuff together and books. And I think to myself, Zack, you are so right. That is one jealous chick we got there. And I told Jason, and so no sweat, right?
Wrong. Because next day we go to the YC and Trini's there, having a smoothie, only this time she's having it with some guy named Richie who works the bar for Ernie after school.
Man, I thought Jason was going to explode. And get this, he gives ME the eyeball like it's all my fault. And then he sees Emily across the room, so he hustles over there to talk to her again. And Trini's watching him, I can see it. So he gets over to Emily and all of a sudden, Trini is all smiling and laughing like this Richie's the coolest dude in the world, even though it's Jase she's keeping an eye on. So I go over to tell him to knock it off before things get worse, and next thing I know Trini's giving ME that look like I smell.
What the heck am I supposed to with that? So Jason completely ignores me and starts flirting all over Emily, and the next thing you know, he asks her out.
He looked so surprised and sort of horrified that he'd done it that I just started laughing. I couldn't help it.
Man. I thought he was going to kill me. So then he puts his arm around Emily and they walk off, and I looked kind of nervously at Trini, who is also looking like she is going to kill me. Or somebody, anyway. And I start to go over to her to sort of explain stuff, except Richie asks her out as I get about halfway there, and she said yes before I could stop her. Not that I have any idea how I would have done that. Probably spilled something on him.
So I called Jase to talk to him after school, only he wouldn't come to the phone. His mom said he was mowing the lawn, but you know, I live across the street.
I tried calling Trini, but her mom said she was in the shower. She's been showering all week, except for school and Rangers stuff.
I tried to talk to Kim, but she just gave me that Kim look like I'm an idiot who should be put away for my own good.
Billy – no. And I don't know Tommy well enough to ask him about something like this. He might get the wrong idea too.
Found myself spilling my guts to Alpha day before yesterday, how pathetic is that?
Yesterday Emily wanted Jase to be in this fashion show thing, which is not Jason's style, and to wear this wrong shirt, which wasn't anybody's style. He wouldn't have done it, except Trini said to Richie that Jason wouldn't, and they laughed, and shazam, Jason's in the fashion show. He's whipped, and it's not even by the right girl.
I still don't see how this is my fault.
