| My Girl, I'm prettier than her, and a parking lot...
I know, this blog title is quite interesting, but if you read on, I'm sure you'll undersand it. So .. Friday was our infamous Homecoming game.I went after school to Chad's to hang out and get dressed. I had a lot of fun just spending some time with him. At his house, I had an awesome cheeseburger, made by his dad. Then we headed back to the school at 6. I did my little Pirette duties and headed up to sit with the band. One of my very good friends, Becky Hatfield, ran for Miss BHS as well as another friend of mine, Kristin Daniels. As the time came for the girls to walk down the field, the band began to play .. unfortuantely enough, the song they chose had to be, My Girl. I would have to say that they played that damn song a good, four times. I felt like comitting suicide, especially since I went down closer to the field to cheer Becky and Krisin on. Finally, all the girls had made it to their places and Steve Phillips called out who would become the reigning queen. Kristin Daniels. I was kinda bummed because it wasn't Becky, she had wanted it so bad. But on the otherhand, Kristin (who had never been on the court before) deserved it as well. I was just proud they both made it that far in the first place. I know I wouldn't have. The game itself .. I know we won, but that's about it. Being the social butterfly I am, I was too busy trying on band hats, dancing to the school song, and talking, to pay any attention to the game. I got a lot of comments about how I looked too. Some I overheard from people, and some were nice enough to just blatently say it. And may I say, without being forward... I was hot. You wouldn't believe how many people told me I had lost weight, looked really nice, etc. etc. Even Mrs. Goff said I looked nice. I felt really good about myself. I saw a lot of people I hadn't in a while. Heather Dotson, Kel Hale, Zack Staton, Megan Thornsbury, Burt Ward, and a lot of other people. I didn't realize how many friends I had that were seniors last year. That's when reality struck. I'm graduating this year, and then I'll be thrown to the sharks. All of us will be. And it may just be me, but that is really bittersweet.
Okay, I've gotta stop writing about graduation or I'll get depressed... Anyway, after the game, we (as in Me, Chad, Tony, Portzer, Goad, Justin Morris, and Zack) went to McDonalds. As Chad ordered my #6 (Spicy Chicken sandwich), I just happened to see another person I hadn't in a while. Jessica Justice. I said a few words to her to be nice and continued on my way to sit down with the guys. Jessica May, Jessica Justice, and Brandon Wolford then sit down two booths away. Goad, being the guy he is, just randomly looks at Jessica May and says "Hey Hey, May" And with that, all Hell broke loose. She replys with a nice little, "Goad, don't even talk to me." Well, a few seconds go by and Goad begins to explain why Jessica May hates him. Not one minute into the story, I realize I am being called over by Jessica Justice. So, unwillingly, I walk over and sit down. She asks what Goad is saying about her, and I try to convince her that he wasn't talking about her. And in all honesty, he really wasn't. He was not tlkaing about Jessica Justice. But, she doesn't believe me, so she goes on this big rampage about how she plans to kick his ass. So with that, I get up and walk back to the table. Goad's face is chalk-white. Stealthily, I tell him what she plans to do and I convince Chad that we need to leave. So, there we go.. out into the parking lot, with Goad trailing behind us, freaking out about getting jumped by her. Suddenly, Jessica comes bolting out of the door and begins to provoke Goad, pushing him and calling him names. I have to admit though, Goad was being really cool about it. He wasn't going to hit a girl. Time goes by while Chad and I are watching the events from the safety of his car, until the rest of the guys with us can get Jessica away from Goad long enough so that he can get into Zack's car. Then, we take off, leaving her scrambling in the midst of empty cars. Then Chad takes me home around 11:30.
And surprisingly, all in all, that day was one of the most fun I've had in a long time. |
