I don’t expect anyone to read this. I’m taking a page from Infrared’s book and pointlessly rambling about my life- except I’m sober.

So against the advice of many of the totse women, I asked my friend Lisa to prom. Now, I should have expected this I guess I’m naïve- but rumors have started flying around the school that I’m ‘leading on’ Lisa because apparently she has the hugest of huge crushes on me. News to me. And I swear, I’m not usually that dense…

Let me back up a little. This is my fifth year of high school and by this late in the race most of my friends are either drop outs or kick outs. I don’t have any friends left except some guys in 4th year that I hang out with during my 4th period lunch but I don’t actually have any classes with them. I don’t actually have any classes with any friends…I don’t actually have any friends left. Except Lisa. She sat next to me in my 2nd period Writers Craft class. I’d known her from a while back but we were never really close. She was really nice to me all through out the semester, introduced me to some of her other friends, helped me break the ice in the class. And because of her I only have six absences in Writers Craft compared to twenty-eight in International Business and twenty-four in Anthropology, Sociology and Psychology. She even invited to hang out with her during our 3rd period lunch which was awesome because before that I was only skating home to wait out the clock watching reruns of Saved by the Bell.

So when her best friend Kelly, told me that Lisa was really upset about the inevitable empty seat next to her at prom and that in her eyes I would be the ideal date for her, I stepped up. Despite what DC, Sarc, JTMB, Guerinca and a few other thought I should do, I felt I owed it to her. After everything she did for me, I just had to.

So then my friend Kathryn comes up to me the other day and says to me in psuedo-polite tone:

“So how’s leading on Lisa?” My first reaction was ‘omg wtf?’ but she just kept saying it. Her friends joined in too.

Let me back up a little here. Back when I was in grade 11 and Kathryn was in grade 9 we almost happened. Apparently, we got really, really close to ‘it’ and then I went out with her friend Emily. I had no idea Kathryn had any feelings for me. Then, after me and Emily ended, I almost happened with a member of Kathryn’s clique Nina. That one, I was actually conscious of. I learned my lesson and I realize I totally lead her on. Yada, yada, yada, I lead on another member of Kathryn’s clique, Krista. That one I was aware of too, I had just gotten over a bad relationship and Krista was a serious option but I wasn’t sure if she was right for me. She wasn’t. Now, almost a year later I can’t understand what I saw in Kathryn, Krista or Nina. Well, I know what I saw in them…but we won’t go into that. But the point is I’ve got a bit of a…history. So I know where Kathryn’s coming from, but I’m still not sure what business it is of hers.

So now Kathryn is hounding me about leading on Lisa. Pretty much just answering everything with “So, how’s leading on Lisa?” Kathryn and Lisa aren’t even friends. Kathryn heard through a grape vine that must have extended two miles long that Lisa has a thing for me.

So it’s around this time Kathryn is saying something along the lines of “You’re so blind! She wants to marry you!” when Lisa walks up behind her and hears everything. Say Lisa had testicles, and say Kathryn kicked them as hard as she could. Now imagine the face she would make. That would be something like the face Lisa made when she realized who we were talking about, before she turned around and stormed off. So my natural reaction was to bitch slap Kathryn and give her a flying-heel kick to the ovaries. Instead I just called her an idiot, and tried to find Lisa, but alas, she was gone.

So after all that bullshit Kathryn starts talking to me, beating around the bush, passive aggressive bullshit like she’s looking for an apology! So we argue for like an hour. She tried convincing me that all she was trying to do was help me to spare Lisa’s feelings. Which I believe was part of her motives. Seems kind of unlikely considering she doesn’t even know Lisa, and she was clearly trying to take some stabs at me. She threw some more garbage about how I shouldn’t throw her help in her face, yada yada yada. I wanna choke the bitch.

So by this time Lisa has figured out that all of her friends have been talking about her behind her back. Weather or not Lisa told them she liked me and they spread it around, or they just assumed I still don’t know. And weather or not she actually thinks I’m leading her on, I don’t know. And of course it all looks especially horrible because I have a girlfriend. But Lisa’s pissed and the only way we could make our relationship look innocent is by not having on at all.

But for me that’s not an option.

Infrared is right, that is therapeutic! Although now I also see what a stupid little high-school problem it actually is. Meh, ah well.

No one died. Live and learn. Meh.

But shame on those who fuel the fire with gossip! Do your best to stay above all that.

And further more, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger (unless it is killing you slowly, then you're screwed ten ways from Sunday night. ).

As long as your girlfriend doesn't find out...who cares?

And yea...shouldn't you take ur girl to prom not this lisa chick?

This reminds me of the "would you forgive me" thread. Those bitches should have minded their own business. Tell them I said to get bent the next time you see them.

Thanks for reminding me just how much anus highschool licked... wouldn't go back to that age and time if you paid me.

Bet your GF is feelin pretty shit right now... or she will be as soon as she catches wind of this development.

Amen bortha.

Luckily, my girlfriend and all her friends graduated on time. They're way too cool for highschoool kids, so chances are she won't smell anything. Everyone knows I'm taking Lisa ro prom, including my girlfriend. And everyone knows my girlfriend knows.

Wait... prom hasn't happened yet?!

... so you found out that Lisa digs you in that way and you're still taking her to prom?

... wtf?!

... no, really... I can't even wrap my head around this one, for god's sake why?!

Since you now know Lisa's feelings then you'd be completely guilty of leading her on if you went ahead with your plan... it's called 'giving false hope' and its not a very nice thing to do to a 'friend'... not nice at all.

Not only that, but if you're still going to take Lisa even though you know she's got the hots for you then you might as well save yourself the hassle and dump your girlfriend now. You're def' not being respectful to her, it's no longer innocent. Not to be harsh, but you'd be acting like one of those whores that loves having two guys chasing after her at the same time but still plays the "who, little ole innocent me?" card at every opportunity.

For some reason I thought you'd already gone to prom, and then 'oops' found out too late what was really going on.

Hmmm... wow.

Naw, prom isn't until the 21st.

Lisa denies liking me though. She Claims it's just something her friends used to tease her with that went to far. I understand because my friends make fun of me too, we do kind of act like an old married couple.

And at this point it'd really suck to drop her at the last minute.

I don't know how she could like me. I've done the exact opposite of the advice we're constantly giving out here and cruised nicely into the friend zone. I got her stupid little gifts for her birthday, I do petty little favors, I help her with other guys, I've done it all! I'm the mayor of friend city!!! Goddamnit...

I had a feeling this would cause some stupid unnecessary highschool drama.

Stuff like this always does.
