The Outsiders

Ponyboy
     One of them laughed, then cussed me out in a low voice.  I couldn't think of anything to say.  There just isn't a whole lot you can say while waiting to get mugged, so I kept my mouth shut.
     "Need a haircut, greaser?" The medium-sized blond pulled a knife out of his back pocket and flipped the blade open.
      I finally thought of something to say. "No" I was backing up, away from that knife.  Of course I backed right into one of them.  They had me down in a second.  They had my arms and legs pinned down and one of them was sitting on my chest with his knees on my elbows, and if you don't think that hurts, you're crazy.  I fought to get loose, and almost did for a second; then they tightened up on me and the one on my chest slugged me a couple of times.  So I lay still, swearing at them between gasps.  A blade was held against my throat.
     "How'd you like that haircut to begin just below the chin?"

whoa...

so I just realized that I haven't really been talking about books on here in quite some time, so right now I'm rereading the Outsiders so I'll post the thingy in a sec...

Oh yeah. I forgot to post about how that tutoring session thingy went with T.E. He ended up coming upstairs after we already went upstairs. At first he sat at the first table even though I was sitting at the middle table with everyone else. So then I was like "so do you need help?" and then he walked over and sat down on the opposite side of the table. So then I was trying to help him, but man, some of the stuff he was saying and confused about was really weird. Like he was confused about the relationship between diameter and radius. And I just couldn't even keep a straight face and not laugh. For a smart guy, he's dumb when it comes to geometry, but overall, it wasn't as awkward as I had thought it was gonna be.
signed, possibly less of an awkward turtle?

so today, Starkid is doing a show at a theater in Ann Arbor. I am so sad that I can't go and see them. Gosh darn these finals!!!!!!!! It was totally within my grasp to go and see them perform, and it's a new show called Apocalyptour. SAD FACE TIMES INFINITY!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I will be listening to all the Starkid music I have on my IPod on repeat today and will be crying internally. Shoutout to Self-Proclaimed Nerd for fully supporting me in my sadness today!

So today, I have another meeting/rehearsal thingy and I'm gonna see C.B. again. On Saturday, I had P.R. try and find out whether or not C.B. still likes me.  P.R. said that C.B. wouldn't say outright that he still liked me, but he said that he was gonna see where things go this summer. To me, that seems like he still has feelings for me, but that he's just not sure whether or not he's going to act on them. Maybe I'm just clinging hopelessly to a shred of hope. Goodness, this seems so pathetic when I go and read it over. Geez.

yesterday, me and C.B. were texting and he randomly said "grinding man" so I was like "umm what?" and he repeated himself. Then he started talking about how grinding was uncomfortable or something, and I was like "I wouldnt know". He was like "really now?" like that was some big shock or something. I was like "Is that unbelievable or something?" and he was like "yeah" and I was confused as to why that would be unbelievable that I wouldnt know what grinding felt like.  So he was like "I just think its something most teenagers would know and have done" and I was like "Then I'm one of the few that dont".  Still, he seemed surprised/shocked that I wouldnt know about grinding, and that's weird. Then conversation turned away from that topic and was less awkward. However, that stuck in my head. Like, why would it be unbelievable? Maybe I'm overthinking this and reading into it too much.

yesterday, T.E. was texting me about geometry. Apparently he's failing and he needs/wants tutoring, so he asked me to help him and wanted to know if he could come with me to Mrs. N's room during lunch today.  I was like "um my friends don't like it when other people come upstairs with us to her room" but I felt bad cause finals are next week and if he's failing, he needs to do well. So he's gonna come with me and my friends so we can help him and apparently M.H. needs help as well.  When I said that my friends were cool with him coming(despite the potential awkwardness) and that they were gonna help him too, he seemed to be like "oh i guess that's cool" but said "the more help the better". I don't know what he thought it was gonna be, but I don't like him in that way.  And then later, he kept saying these really creepy things that I can't even post on here because it's so flipping creepy. O.O

ok so on Wednesday, I had to go to this meeting/rehearsal for DGPC, this place where I work in the summer. And I knew that C.B. was going to be there because the lady in charge asked me to give him paperwork from the meeting he missed and to make sure he knew when the meetings/rehearsals were.  So I walked in and everybody who was already there were all sitting at this one table, so I was like "oh ok I'll go sit by everybody cause I know these people" and he was sitting across from me. and it was a little awkward cause it was like "oh yeah" and then P.R. showed up so me and C.B. were talking to him. It seemed less awkward and pretty fun. Later, C.B. kept tickling me, and when I say tickling, I mean like constantly tickling me.  Not gonna lie, it seemed like how things used to be between us. It made me realize that I still have feelings for C.B., which may or mayn't be good.  We've been texting a lot lately and he keeps saying "te amo"(spanish for I love you) because I kept saying he molested me.  I don't know how he feels about me but I know that I still like him.*sigh*
signed, so yeah
