So I know I haven't updated in a while, but I have been a bit busy, and I just wanted to apologize here for that :)
I sat down with Jordanne and Faith and talked to them for a while. I had already decided to just eat candy later, instead of eating the gross-ness they were serving. A few minutes later, Matthew sat down next to me with two plates stacked up with pancakes. Then he set down a jug of real maple syrup. My jaw dropped.
"Are these for me?" I asked, and he just nodded.I couldn't believe how nice he was! I gave him a big hug because he deserved something in return for this awesomeness!
"Thanks!" I said still hugging him, I didn't want to let go. I don't know what I would do with out the William's pancakes.
"Your welcome…" he said, then we began to eat. I introduced him to Jordanne and Faith, and they said hello, but not much else. I thought they would really get along with him, like I do, but it seems I was wrong. For the rest of lunch, I awkwardly had to hold two separate conversations while.
When I left I saw that people were around that sign up table again table again. I walked over, and Jordanne and Faith followed me for lack of a better thing to do as well as curiosity. I looked at the crowd and listened from a safe distance away. It seems like they were looking at who they were paired with. They were saying things like "Shit! My job was canceled! But at least now I'm paired with—". I wondered who I was paired with, because now everyone had to be paired up. I tried to get through the small crowd to get to the table. When I got to the sheet, I found my name it was next to the name Feliks in neat hand writing with a heart next to the name.
It looked like a girl wrote it, but of course, I already met all the girls, so it must be a guy. What kind of guy puts a heart next to their name? Maybe one of the girls wore it for him or something. But now I had to go find him, and make a plan to go buy the stuff. We would need a car to get there, and know where we're going to even get any decorations. What colors even go with Labor day? If it's a guy, he probably didn't want to do this job, but got stuck with it. That means I'll be doing most of the work, great. Oh! There's that sarcasm again. What did I ever do with out it? Oh well, I should get back to the dorm and start planing some stuff, also, maybe I should figure out what love or else I'm going to have nothing to do this entire year.
I shied and walked away. Jordanne and Faith were talking without me again forgetting that I exist or something. I'm still not sure why they're here if they hardly talk to me. Okay, they did just have a big long conversation about stuff a minute ago… And it is usually my fault like leaving them alone in the first place so I shouldn't complain. But I will anyway, just in my head of course, because I can.
In the dorm I reached to grab some candy, but I realized I was still stuffed with pancakes, so I didn't need any. I had somehow already gotten in the habit of taking candy when ever I pass that table. Well I will just have to deal with being fat and malnourished then, because I grabbed some girl scout cookies then scampered up the stairs with a guilty smile on my pink face.
Lying on my un made bed, I took out my sketch book, and started to think of the shape of the Cafeteria. That's were it will mainly be held, well the food part anyway, and so I'll need to know where to put the decorations. I drew up a little sketch, then wrote a list of decorations. I bit the end of my mechanical pencil as I thought about what to put where. I put little symbols next to each decoration, then proceeded to put the X's and O's and / in places on my sketch. Time passed quickly as I drew and picked out colors.
I was thinking faintly about all the people at this school. I thought about that Gilbert guy who asked me out and the tall guy who helped my with the box. I thought of Alfred the football player and his patriotic gay dad. I thought about Elizabeta and the girl with the scary sister. They were all interesting, and they were all (more or less) nice to me. Yet my mind kept coming back to the one everyone else forgot. Matthew. He was nice to me once, then he kept it up. He came back and smiled at me more than once, made me pancakes and I was able to talk to him about some serious topics.
I have been friends with Faith and Jordanne for much longer, but they are still reluctant to talk to me about anything to deep. They will tell me their secret crushes and get to know some of my habits but they don't know some of the things I told Matthew yesterday.
I noticed I hadn't written anything down for a while, I had got lost in thought. I started writing down some estimated costs, and totaling them up. I do't really know how much streamers and things cost, but it's supposed to just be an estimate anyway. The total was probably way too high, but even if it was lower than the real cost, I would be able to afford it now. Even now, when I remember that I have so much money, I get giddy with happiness.
In that silly-happy state was were I was found by the girly-guy I had seen before. He burst open my door, and right as he opened his mouth to talk I realized who he was.
"I'm, like, Feliks. So I think we're, like partners." he said in one of those popular-girl voices. Everything makes sense now!
also I (hopefully) will be able to get up a chapter tomorrow and the day after :)
