I haven't seen Crutchy all day. He left early for school this morning and I didn't see him in the halls. Maybe he's skipped school, but then again I don't usually see him that often.
On the bright side I ate lunch with new people today. This could be the road to a great friendship. Here's what happened:
I brought my lunch and sat down at a table with a guy wearing a purple shirt, red suspenders and very nerdy looking drown tweed pants. He's the kind of guy whose heads people flush down the toilet except he carried himself with a rare confidence, it practically radiated from him.
"Can I sit here?" I asked him.
He scoffs at the suggestion, "are you joking? Surely you don't expect me to be seen with the likes of you."
I quite believed him because he was a very good actor and said this like he hated me with every fibre of his being. So I picked up my tray and turned to go.
He called after me, "I was just joking, come sit down."
So I did and I introduced myself, "William Jones."
"Simon Conlon, but my friends call me Spot," he surveyed me for a second, "do you have a nickname William?"
I told him people called me Skittery just as two others arrived. One with a tray full of pie and one was wearing suspenders similar to Spots'.
They introduced themselves as Ben or 'Boots' and I forget the other guy's name, but I like to call him 'Pie Eater'.
Like I said, the road to a great friendship. I just hope I can remember their names by tomorrow, I've already forgotten one of them.

The weirdest thing happened today, a cheerleader said hello to me in the hallway. And it wasn't just any cheerleader; she has a boyfriend on varsity. If you haven't guessed yet it was Juliet. Well, Spring.
She's OK I guess, and not just because she said hello to me. Except now Race knows about her and he thinks I'm pathetic for even trying.
I'm not just bringing this up because 'yay! A popular kid talked to me!' but because that never happened before. They never even talk to me in terms of yelling rude comments after me in the hall. The football team (who is God) just looks at me like I'm some sort of scum on the bottom of their shoe. That's 'cause I'm a 'badass rocker' who likes Cradle of Filth and Metallica. And I only really like them because Race wouldn't shut up about them so I bought a CD. They're pretty good, and I really like Cradle of Filth's lyrics, they're very poetic and I read somewhere that Dani Filth has two degrees in English Literature. And a daughter.
But I saw Spring arguing with a guy in a varsity jacket and glasses and a funny hat. I think he's her boyfriend and he just yelled louder when he saw me.
Sometimes I wonder why she likes Funny-Hat guy.........

Spring broke up with me. Snitch, from swim team, says we have to go out and 'cruise for girls'. It was quite funny that he said this because if he ever did go out and 'cruise for girls' it mustn't have worked because I'm pretty sure Snitch has never had a girlfriend. Maybe it's because he has to bring his little brother with him everywhere.
Surprisingly I don't mind so much that Spring broke up with me, but now she's eyeing some badass rocker and—I don't mean to sound stuck-up—it feels like she's replacing me.
I really liked Spring, but maybe not as a girlfriend, maybe just as security, which I know sounds cocky, but I really think that's what it is.
I don't like the idea of being replaced.
Maybe this is what my dream meant, Spring wasn't in it because I really don't like her, and maybe this means Dutchy and I will get closer as friends or something.
A/n: and it's all coming together, muah ha ha!!! But don't expect anything too soon. I need to lure in your interest before Specs and Dutchy love each other. As anything more than friends. Not that it will definitely happen.........
