Got in a car accident today. My dad and I were going Christmas shopping, and were driving on the freeway. I was reading Waking Rose.
I heard a sharp intake of breath from my dad, and looked up. When he makes that sort of sound, you know something's wrong. He slammed his foot on the brake, and I saw a red car in front of us, growing bigger all too fast. Something was really wrong. We were going to hit it. It was kinda one of those, "Oh, shit." moments.
I had just enough time to squeeze my eyes shut before the impact. My body was jolted forward, caught by the seatbelt.
When I opened my eyes again, the world was white. I couldn't breath, couldn't hear.
The air slowly cleared of millions of tiny particles, but I still couldn't draw in a breath through them.
"Roll down your window," I heard my dad say. Don't know when I started hearing again. I obeyed, leaning out to breath deeply. I opened the door, and unbuckled myself so I could get out. First, I looked down at my book, amazed that I had kept my place through all that, and stuck my bookmark within its pages. Then I stepped over to the side of the road, face carefully blank.
I hadn't been scared; still wasn't. I don't know why. Nor does anyone else, really. No one could figure out why I was so calm: not my dad, the two police officers, the lady we hit, my dad's friend Greg, my mom...or anyone else.
Speaking of my mom, she called a few minutes later. She told me that I did have fencing today. I almost laughed. I explained that we had gotten in a MINOR car crash, but nobody was hurt, though the Saturn may have been totaled. I told her to cancel the lesson.
First one police officer came, and walked by me, sitting on the car seat with my feet on the ground. I smiled at him.
"How are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm good. And you?"
He walked away.
Same EXACT thing with the second one. Geeze, you'd think they'd at least answer...
My dad took it surprisingly well, but the other driver was pretty pissed. Haha, sucks for her.
I texted Eliot later, and he asked if I was okay. I assured him I was fine.
Speaking of which, though, both he and Lily said they'd call me back tonight, and neither of them did. Hmph.
Oh, and my mom invited her boyfriend, Ron, to come with us to my grandparents' for Christmas. Again. I really hate that guy. I don't know what she sees in him. He's just a jerk.
Well, I'm gonna go read my book. Cliffhanger, you know? G'night!
Love,
Faye

He Kissed Me...
On the cheek, but yeah. I'm still in shock.
We were in the Indoor Commons, finishing up our Greek Tragedies in English. The bell rang, and we packed up the props.
He came up to me, and said, "I have to go. My brother's really mad at me now."
"Aww, I'm sorry," I said, and gave him a hug. He hugged me back, and kissed me on the right cheek. Mhm. I still can't quite process this, but...yeah.
We had a continuation party in band today, and I ate WAAAAAY too many sweets. Then a lollipop in PE, an some more fudge and a Hershey's Kiss after school. Bleh. I feel sick. In the party, Sean randomly sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I repeated the gesture to him, and we started ricking side to side for no reason. xD
After school, but before Eliot left, Sean came over to me, and told me about how we'd both get two hit-free weeks. "So I may as well hit you hard now," he said. I laughed, and we hugged, then he hit me on the head, and I hit him back and stole his hat. I ran, and he chased me. "Run, Faye, Run!" I heard someone shout behind me. I obeyed. We ran out into the Outdoor Commons, when I realized that I was wearing the scarf that Lily had given me for Christmas a few minutes before, and that he could strangle me with it. I chucked the hat behind me and slowed a bit. He still grabbed onto the scarf, then dragged me over so he could grab his hat. We went back inside, panting. We hugged again, and he left.
Later, we went back to the English room to grab our stuff. I took pictures of Lily, Lisa, Eliot, and Will with my phone. Eliot left after another quick hug. As he opened the door, the fire alarm went off. "Yeah, I'm getting out of here," he said, and went.
Lily and I went outside (after I went to my locker, haha). The teachers were freaking out. The fire department came.
Sean was on his bike, and came over and said, "I'm sorry."
I hugged him, saying, "Me too. What for?" I be intelligent.
"For hitting you and taking your stuff."
"Yeah, I'm sorry too." We grinned at each other, and I said, "See you next year!"
"Yep!" he said.
It was really sweet when we were watching the rest of Iron Man in band, because Sean and Alicia (his girlfriend) were sitting on the floor, and Sean was behind her, watching with his head to her left, and he had his arms wrapped around her waist.
They are the greatest couple ever. EVER. Like, Alicia is a really confident, tomboy-ish girl, and Sean is not quite so confident, and slightly more girly that most guys. They make the perfect pair. And they were REALLY REALLY cute today! I almost started squealing.
I was walking to the IDC during lunch, and Jackson ran past me with this stuffed chicken, and someone was chasing him (forget who).
"Faye." he said as he passed.
"Hi," I said, confused. I wished I had just said, "Jackson." But oh well.
As they went, I heard him yell, "It's my cock!"
Katrina and I had a laughing fit over this in a minute, when I told her about it.
Oh, did I mention that Jackson and Jenice are FINALLY going out? I don't like either of them, but they're so cute together!
Later, Katrina and I went to hang out in the Art Room, as the IDC had officially gotten boring. As we walked in, I hear Alex (not my friend--different one, who's going out with Brittany) say, "Isn't that Eliot?"
"I don't know..." Brittany (who's pretty much glued to his side, as always) said.
I looked, and saw my boyfriend's backpack and jacket on a table. As I approached, I realized there was also a pair of jeans.
"What is that?" whispered Katrina.
"I'm not sure," I whispered back, "but I think it's my boyfriend."
Hesitantly, I poked his ankle. He groaned, and removed the jacket from his face. He had actually been asleep. On a table. In the Art Room.
I started cracking up.
Later, we were sitting together, me kinda leaning against him, Katrina to my right.
"So when's the wedding?" Eddie asked. Could have killed him. "And should I bring, like...flowers?"
Katrina promptly joined in, and I punched her lightly on the arm. Pfft.
In PE, we were watching a movie about Tiger Woods in the boy's locker room. I leaned against Eliot, while my friends pretended not to be glancing at us every few seconds.
Mig turned off the TV a few minutes before class ended, and told us to just hang out. Eliot lay back, and I rested my head on his chest. An excited squeal came from Emily, and I gave her the finger. I was TIRED. I apologized later, though, as did she.
Well, that's about all I can say. Later!
Love,
Faye

My Perfect Fictional Love Story
SUNDAY:
I've been nervous all week.
And now I'm pulling into Eliot's driveway, mouth struggling to close. "Are you sure we have the right address?" I ask my mom. The house is HUGE. And the yard is even bigger! She confirms the number, and turns off the car. We get out, and I knock hesitantly on the large front door. I'm sure it has to be a mistake. A dog barks inside, and a familiar face appears through the door as Eliot pulls it open. We smile at each other, and he invites me in. I'm introduced to his mom, dad, brother (Parker), and brother's friend.
My mom chats with his parents for a few minutes, then leaves, and we're alone with his mom and dad in another room.
It's a bit awkward at first, and I keep looking around at the gimungous house. Christmas love songs are crooned softly from a speaker hidden in a corner, somehow making the silence between us grow.
We make a very good chocolate cake (actually, he does most of it while I try to understand what he's doing. I really can't cook), then stick it in the oven to bake for a while.
His mom pops out and suggests a movie on (Fred Clause, or something like that). We end up watching Get Smart, sitting about a foot apart in front of the fireplace. He's on my left. His mom has left. (Haha...)
Before I know quite what's happening, he's scooted over to me, and has his arm around my waist. I lean against him, barely breathing. We stay like that for a few minutes, then we hear a door opening somewhere in the house. We shoot apart as he whispers, "That's her."
His mom comes out a few moments later, and we pretend to be completely engrossed in the movie. She leaves, and his arm is around me again. Repeat mom incident.
This time when we come back together, I lace the fingers of my right hand through his right, which is holding me to him. I lean on him, and he rests his head on mine. His brother and his friend come in, and neither of us pull away. From what I've heard of Parker, he is probably thinking something along the lines of, 'Wow, she must be crazy--or desperate.' The two brothers aren't very close.
I don't care though. I'm happy. I wish the moment would never end.
The two older boys exit. He takes my other hand in his, and I smile up at him.
The movie is ending. I whisper what has been on my mind since the dance, "So...do we just go back to being friends?"
He looks down and closes his eyes for a moment before looking back at me. "I don't know," he says. "I'm...really confused."
"Me too." Both of us keep our voices down.
"I really like this," he says, holding me tighter. I squeeze his hand.
"Me too."
We sit like that for a while, and he finally says, "You know, if you told me what you'd like to do, it would make my life a whole lot easier."
"Right back at you."
We sit quietly for another few minutes. All the while, I'm hoping as hard as I ever have that he'll say he wants to go out. I'm not usually one to sit quietly, but I don't want to pressure him into anything.
His mom comes out for a couple minutes, in the kitchen, but we don't jump away this time. I think we're both waiting to see if she says anything. She doesn't, and eventually leaves.
A minute or so later, he asks, "Shall we try it?"
I smile and say, "Yes." I feel like I'm about to burst. I don't know if I've ever been happier.
His mom comes out again, and lays on the couch to watch TV with us. We stay like we are for a while.
He gets up to clean something in the kitchen.
His mom talks to me about things he's done, is surprised that I'm into swords as well as him, says that he's an amazing cook.
"Yeah," I say softly. "He is amazing." I'm not sure if he heard me, or if I even wanted him to.
His mom left after a bit, and we sit back down where we were before. I realize, in the short time that we were apart, how much I missed him there beside me. It was a strange feeling; a kind of emptiness. And I try to imagine what it would be like if he were moving away, like Peter. I'm not sure I could stand it.
All too soon, my dad arrives, and we break apart reluctantly before he comes in. I grab my jacket, then hug Eliot. My Eliot. I whisper in his ear, "So we're going out, then?"
"Yes," he says, and that's all I needed to hear to be happy for the rest of my life. I hug him tighter, then leave.
I'm bursting to tell my dad on the way home, but I want Lisa to be the first one to hear. When I get home (to my mom's), I run over to Lisa's. I have to hold in my news for a few minutes (her parents and brother were right there...), then finally whisper to her, "I had a great time at my BOYFRIEND'S." I grin as she stares at me in shock for a moment, then clings to my arm as she screams excitedly into my shoulder. I'm laughing hysterically throughout this.We hang out, do homework, watch Wall-E (is that how you write it? o_o), and then I go home to tell my mom.
She takes it better than I would have thought, only asking what it means to be "going out" these days.
The next day at school, a lot of people have heard through Facebook already. I totally thought it was all a really good dream...until my mom said something about "my boyfriend" this morning. "He's not my--oh, wait. He is." (I did this several times throughout the day). I still checked with Lisa.
The entire elementary group was freaking out, as I was the first one of us to get a...boyfriend (that's still really weird!), as Emily told me. She was rather explosive when I told her, then went up to attack Eliot later.
During lunch, I was attacked by Katy, who had already been told by Christine, then shoved in the Art Room to sit with him. We walked to English holding hands. Eddie saw us and squealed into his binder. Haha, Eddie.
During English, I saw him looking at me a few times. I smiled, and blushed.
Now that I'm writing this out, I'm thinking just how fictional this sounds; the plain, unpopular girl gets the amazing boyfriend.
But, best of all, it's completely true.
Faye got a boyfriend, and couldn't be happier.
Love,
Faye
P.S.
I can't help but think of the irony in this: I get my first boyfriend as Rosie's leaves. I love you, sweetheart. Best wishes!

"On My Own" is Stuck in My Head...
Kinda annoying after a while.
Band concert on Wednesday! I think Eliot might come. I mentioned it in PE yesterday, and he asked when it was. I hope he does!
Also, I'm going to be one of a few people singing "Do You Hear the People Sing" out in front of the band! Plus, Lisa and I are first flutes in one song, and we plus two second flutes have a bit where we play alone. At one part, we all split off notes. Yay! ^^
El is sixteen, and in junior college, by the way! Woah...only two years older than me. o_o
The three of us in my class fenced El today. It was really fun. I actually stabbed him! ;o
Eh. Not much more to say.
Yesterday, Will was selling Christmas trees with his Boy Scout Troop. I really wanted to go and bug him, and since we hadn't gotten our tree yet at my mom's, I suggested that we get one tonight. She had that stupid parenting class (because I didn't turn out right, and she wants to redo my personality), which ended at nine; the same time Will was leaving. She usually ends up leaving early. This time, though, she didn't feel like it. Honestly. Selfish much? Uggh. We really don't have another chance to get a tree; she's been putting it off for ages.
When Will announced that he'd be selling trees yesterday in English, Eliot announced that he'd go harass him. XD After school today, I asked what troop Will was in for Katrina, who's brother's troop was also selling last night. (They weren't in the same troop). Eliot said, "Oh, no! I forgot to go harass you! Oh, well. I still can." He started after Will, who made a frightened sound and ran away. I laughed.
"Uchi wa doko desu ka?" I asked as we walked out together.
"What?"
"Where's your house? I'm gonna need to get there somehow!"
"Oh, I thought you were speaking Japanese."
"That was Japanese."
"Oh."
I laughed.
We walked most of the way towards his locker as he described how to get there. Then I rushed off to home, then fencing.
I forgot my phone at my dad's this morning, by the way. So I couldn't call my mom the FOUR TIMES she told me to. -.- ("OMG! IT'S GETTING DARK! YOU'RE GOING TO GET RUN OVER!" -eyeroll-). I went to my dad's for the first time from the fencing academy.
Eliot has to propose to and marry Cassie in his Greek Tragedy play. x3
I have to memorize about a billion lines by Monday. HELP!
Officially going to Eliot's after the band rehearsal Sunday!
Okay, I've been thinking about this moment lately:
Eliot and Sophia were going out. He was talking to me about her, and called her "Sophie". NO ONE calls her that. He's the only one. A hot mixture of bitterness, sorrow, and anger rose up in my throat. I realized I was jealous. Very jealous. I hadn't known I liked him so much until then.
Love,
Faye

For Rosie...
Oh, Rosie!
I'm not sure I can really say anything. I'm on the verge of tears myself. I...I want to say I hope you're feeling better, but it's pretty obvious that that won't be happening.
I guess the most I can do is offer you a virtual hug, and tell you how sorry I am. I'm thinking about you. I know you'll make it through another day.
Get some sleep, sweetheart.
Love you.

I guess the most I can do is offer you a virtual hug, and tell you how sorry I am. I'm thinking about you. I know you'll make it through another day.
Get some sleep, sweetheart.
Love you.

Rosie...
Sorry, but my computer's being stupid and won't let me comment on your blog! Dx
I totally agree with the whole comment thing!
I totally agree with the whole comment thing!
Thought My Heart Would Burst...
He held my hand.
HE HELD MY HAND!!!
-dies-
So, I got out for PE, and I was shivering as I sat. Eliot was standing...a few feet away. Katy comes over, gives me a hug, and sees how cold I am. "Hun, you're shivering!" she said loudly, then stood back. "Someone needs to hug you and warm you up!" He couldn't see it, but on her face it was obvious that she was giving a hint to a certain someone. I grinned at her, and whispered, "I know, right? Too bad the someone who should be giving YOU a hug isn't here!"
Katy went to join her class, and Eliot sat down next to me. We had a conversation about nail polish and being cold (I have brown nail polish on, he painted his nails when he was in France...).
"Give me your jacket, Danny!" he said at one point.
Danny: "...Uh, why?"
"Because Faye's cold!"
We laughed.
"I'm really cold!" I said later, and held my breath as he reached his arm around me and squeezed me tightly against him. I leaned my head against him, and he rested his head gently on mine. He could feel me shivering, and said, "You're shivering! It's making me cold!" I laughed and wrapped my arms around his waist for a moment to give him a tight squeeze, then let them fall back to my lap. Christine and Emily walked by, gawking, at one point.
We stayed like that for five or so minutes, but then our stupid PE teacher just had to come out. "Role call," he said, and let his arm drop as he got up. We looked at each other, and I blushed, then ran off to stand on my number.
Mig (teacher) was talking, and I glanced over to see that Eliot had placed himself on the other side of a crowd, where he could see me. I smiled at him.
After PE, Katy came over again, and hugged me, and felt my hands. "Oh my gosh, your hands are cold!"
She left in a moment, and I put my hand against Eliot's cheek. "Are my hands really that cold?"
"Yes!" he said. Haha.
I rested my hands on his arm, and he took them into his own hands, resting them on his lap. We sat like that for a few minutes, until the bell rang. Katy shouted at me, Lily next to her. I walked (with Eliot) up to them, and Lily handed me a wrapped box: my Christmas present. I tore open the paper, and Eliot had to run to his locker really quick. Inside was Waking Rose!
I had guessed it, but now I finally have it! ^^ Yay!!! (Good book...)
I thanked Lily about a million times, then ran off to English for a pop quiz on a book I hadn't read. -.-
Love,
Faye

A Brief Note...
EEP! I'M GOING TO GO OVER TO ELIOT'S HOUSE NEXT SUNDAY! HELP ME! I'M SO NERVOUS!
Also, I exploded a pitcher of orange juice and a can of soup yesterday. Heh...

Smart Statement of the Year
During break, I was talking to Eliot in my room one night. When I got out, I asked if my mom could hear my conversation. She said that she turned the music up loud so she couldn't.
"Thanks," I said.
"Especially when you're talking to a BOY!"
"It wasn't a boy! It was Eliot! I mean--he's a BOY, but not like that! I mean--you know what? Never mind." I walked away. Better not to say anything else stupid.
Rawr.
BUTBUTBUT.
Wednesday, we were talking about me burning butter in a pan that was off, and he asked if I needed cooking lessons. I said something stupid like, "Lily and Katy tried." Or something. He said again, "But do you need cooking lessons?"
Thursday--yesterday--I said, "I think you're right. I probably do need cooking lessons. Doubt anyone would trust me with a stove, though." I laughed.
"I would," he said. I smiled.
He emailed me, and asked what the one thing I had always wanted to cook was. I said chocolate cake. (Feeling like a bit of a pig, but oh well XD). He asked me if I'd like to learn. I said I'd love to.
I'm going to look really stupid, though! I can't cook! Dx
Right. Not much else to say. Baii.
Love,
Faye

Hmm...Perhaps Will is as Much of a Klutz as I Am?
So...tired...
One thing I think I forgot to mention was that Corinna told me about Will setting a gun (not loaded, don't worry! Just made a loud sound) off backstage during a performance, and knocking down a row of metal chairs during the same one, as well as two other cases of klutziness. xDDD Also, one of her friends (Hannah, in my Japanese class) likes him! xDDDDDDD I was trying not to laugh.
Oh, and most of the guys, at the end of a show, would line up outside the girl's changing room and chant:
"Get naked! Get naked! Get butt butt naked!"
Guys are strange creatures. o_o She wasn't sure if Will was doing this or not.
Will and I hug every time we see each other now. He gives nice hugs. <3
Can't keep my mind off Eliot. Rina hits me every time I mention him, or she thinks I'm thinking about him. She's always right, too. -.-
Fencing was really fun. From Tuesday:
We were practicing with foils (a type of sword), and El told me to lunge. I didn't touch Jimmy, the boy I was fencing with. El told me to stab him, and demonstrated with his own sword. "See?" he said. "Poking him is fun! Do you like poking him?" I grinned and nodded, jabbing at him with my foil. It was really funny.
Today, El stabbed me. He grinned and said, "I get to stab someone. The highlight of my day." I laughed. El's really nice. I still want to know how old he is, but it would be kinda awkward to ask.
Not much happened today. Dx The fog that we had been having has cleared up.
OH, BUT MY DAD CAME BACK YESTERDAY! ^^ I got to go see him. We ordered pizza. He was sick as usual when he comes back, and had hurt his toe somehow.
Can't think much. Eliot fills my mind. Should go.
Love,
Faye

Fencing: Day 1
It really sucks when you have a stomach ache, and a small boy is jabbing at your stomach with a sword. Yup.
Just got back! It was really fun. The instructor, El, is really nice. We're a class of three: me, and two little boys. Like, seven. Trying not to be embarrassed.
My mom was right: El IS really young! Like, fifteen to seventeen, I'd say. Actually, a lot of how he taught us reminded me of my own job at my riding academy. I mentioned something about that to him. He said that that was cool. But not in a bored, sarcastic way.
We learned how to stand while fencing, and advance, retreat, extend, lunge, and parry four. It was a lot of fun.
I'm pretty tired now. Won't talk much.
El was probably over six feet, with 2.5-ish inch long dark sandy blond hair. He's pretty nice, though I didn't get to talk to him much. At the end, he asked me how I liked it. I replied that I loved it.
It was really funny (though predictable) when we were holding a lunge for a while, and I was kinda just hanging out, while the two boys were falling over. Hee. El said that his class decided to see how long they could hold a lunge, and got bored after ten minutes. Oh, and he's been fencing for five years. I'm all, like, dang...
Right. Katy and Lily came over yesterday. Katy called Alex, and Lily called Garrett, and I tried to call Eliot, but he wouldn't pick up. They tried to teach me to cook. I burnt the butter when the pan was off. Dx I fail. The elementary group and Eliot got a kick out of it when I told them, though. Meh.
Remember Vikram? He's the one who called me dirty names after I kicked him after he kicked my flute. Well, before PE, he sent his brother ("A", if you recall from the last post) with a message for me: that he was sorry and he'd like to call a truce. I sent A back to say that it was fine, and I was sorry as well. After PE, he came up to me and confirmed that I had gotten the message, and I confirmed that he got mine. We shook hands, and left. Haha.
Not much happened today. In school, anyways. Well, except PE.
Oh, and before band, when we were waiting for the door to be unlocked, I hugged Kristin, and Sean was there. Kristin said something like, "Haha, Sean doesn't get a hug." So I went over and hugged him. To my surprise, he hugged me back. Nice to not constantly be fighting, eh?
Right then. PE.
Alex fount a piece of plastic. Oh, dear...
He was skating around with it under his shoe.
I was sitting with my knees up on my number. Eliot came out and said my knees looked worse. "Really?" I asked, taking a moment to examine them.
I held my hands out, and asked, "Help me up?" He did. We went over to Alex and Danny, and Eliot threatened to take Alex's plastic away. Then Alex spun around on it. Of course, Eliot had to try this. Then Danny. They proceeded to attempt to do ballet for the next five or so minutes, occasionally getting an, "Epic fail!" from me. xD Lily's new thing. It rubbed off on me.
While someone else was taking a turn, Eliot walked closer to me. I still sat on the bench/edge of planter...thing.
"Aren't you freezing?" I asked, shivering. He was in shorts and a t-shirt. As always.
"Yeah," he replied. "But my arms are really warm."
I held my own arms out. "Come here," I told him. "I want a hug."
He hugged me, bending down. "Wow, you are cold," he said. He sat down next to me, keeping his arms tightly around me. I hugged him back.
In that minute, the whole world felt...right.
But I was suddenly all too aware of the people around. I pulled slightly away, regretting it as I did so.
He kept one arm around me, tightly holding me to him, as if to say, "She's mine." I leaned my head on his shoulder, wishing that that moment would never end. My shivering slowly receded.
We stayed like that for a few minutes as we watched Danny jump from the ground, over a trash can, and onto the bench/edge of planter...thing. Eliot suggested putting him in the trash can, and we got into a whole discussion of rolling down hills in tires and trash cans. Funfun. Someone said how you could use a trash can like a potato sack in a sack race.
Then Danny told Eliot to try that. He got up, leaving me to miss him, a few feet away, and lean against the pole again. Eliot hopped six or so steps, then got out.
The trash can was empty, by the way.
In English, we were partnering up and writing scripts on part of the Iliad. Lisa and I decided to be partners. Neither of us had read this part. Crap.
We spent the entire period wondering what to write. We have to finish it at home. SO glad there wasn't enough time in class for everyone to go. Haha.
Can't stop thinking about Eliot. Glad my fencing instructor goes by El.
Love,
Faye

Okay, Fun Over. Here's What Happened Today...
Oh, where to begin! Perhaps with the beginning, I suppose. Pfft.
First day back at school after break! Yay! ...Not.
Right.
Morning:
So I glomped Lisa, who I hadn't seen in a week, when she came to get me in the morning. I hugged Sam when we picked her up.
Japanese:
Got a note from Emily to Mimi. Delivered in Bio.
Bike Ride:
Switched bikes with Lisa, whose bike wouldn't go very fast. Nothing else happened.
Computers:
Got new seats. Next to Holly, in front of Will. Yay. Hugged Holly (quietly, as I was late). Will came over to my computer around the middle of the period. Hugged Will. Told him I missed him, because I hadn't seen him in a week. He corrected me and said that it had been nine days, and he missed me too. He needed to use my computer (his wasn't registering some files), so I logged out. I scooted over to give him room on my chair, and he finally sat down, saying, "Fine." Well he didn't expect me to sit on the GROUND, did he? Haha. I leaned on him as he worked. When he got up, I took my chair back, and went into his paint files. Holly and I had fun looking at his sandwich, which contained a Chuck Norris layer. xDDD Unfortunately, something was wrong with his brick layer, and they didn't show up. Aww.
He had summoned our teacher over, who looked at his computer as he leaned against the wall. I leaned my head back against his chest, still half asleep. He went back to his seat, and I regained control of my computer. Showed Holly my lovely ice skating bruise, and laughed at her antics. Bell rang. Hugged Will again before I left with Holly, still clinging to her.
Passing Period:
Hugged Ripley as I waited for Lisa. Hugged Toby, and listened to his complaints about his sister, who spent hours taking a Twilight quiz, and took notes. Pfft. Silly thing. OMG NICK SHAVED HIS SIDEBURNS. Emily was pointing to him, and it took me a second (distracted by Eliot, whom I had noticed behind me) to notice what was up. I gaped at him, then grinned. About time, too. Somehow, Eliot got ahead of me in the crowd. I tapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey." Then I hugged him tightly. He said, "Hey," back as he hugged me. As we parted and went to our respective classes, I made note that he was wearing a bright red jacket, though he claimed that he didn't get cold. Hah.
Bio:
Delivered Emily's note. Hugged Cassie, Jenny, and Emily. That's about it.
Passing Period:
Nothing, really.
Geometry:
We did Geometry, as I tell Rina every time she asks what we did in math. Max and I chatted. Emily and I chatted. Tried some of her strong-smelling lotion. Stole Graham's seat. Haha, Graham. Rawr.
Passing Period:
Collected Rina, huddled against her, Holly, and Maya for warmth. Saw Christine. Dropped stuff and GLOMPED. Nearly ripped my arm off from hanging on. Haha. Did I mention she's tall?
Lunch:
Very Perverted. Made the preamble into...a very perverted piece of work. Haha. Pooled money with Rina to get cookies. Yum. Hugged Hannah and Dani...and Ripley again. x3
Passing Period:
Nothing.
Band:
BAND ROOM WAS ACTUALLY OPEN WHEN LUNCH ENDED! OMG! ;o Sean said the teacher was sleeping. xDDD Actually had a reasonable conversation with Sean. Told him not to hit my knees because of the bruises. He flicked one, but missed the bruise. Haha.
Passing Period:
Nothing.
P.E.:
Re-hugged Chrissie in the locker room. Got out before anyone. Again. Sat on my number with knees up. After a while, Eliot came out, and saw my knees. "What happened?" he said loudly. I smiled up at him and said, "Ice skating, remember?"
"Oh, yeah..." he said. He started to say something else, but Katy came and exclaimed over my knees. -.- Eliot went to talk to Alex.
Katy gave me a hug, because I was cold and shivering, then had to go. I joined Eliot, who was now talking to Danny, and heard a strange sentence. Forget what it was. I laughed and said, "See! You guys always have the best conversations."
Eliot grinned, and said, "Yeah. We were talking about ____ earlier." Forget what he said. Pfft. He said something about being cold. I said I thought he said he didn't get cold. He said that he did sometimes. Haha.
Emily came up behind me and poked me in the sides. I squealed, jumped, turned, and started after her. When I turned back, Eliot was laughing. I pointed at him, suppressed my smile, and said, "You shut up."
He said something about that being the best part of the day, or something. Pfft. Again.
Girl friends and I talked for a while. I got multiple hugs from them, as I was still shivering.
"Look, Chrissie!" I held up my knee. "I went ice skating! Can you tell?" She got this horrified look on her face, and said how much it must hurt. I reassured her that it didn't. Jenny looked, and called it pretty. Very loudly. xD "Thank you, Jenny!" I said, beaming up at her. "You're the only one who seems to grasp my point!" Cassie was in between "Ouch!" and "Pretty!"
Roll call.
As I was making my way back to where most of my friends were after I was noted, I was still shivering. I was walking kinda towards Will, and Eliot was close behind him.
I really don't know why I did it, but I asked Will for a hug, because I was cold. He gave me one, and held on. He beckoned to Emily, and commanded her to join the hug, while holding me against him. I wouldn't look at Eliot. When Emily joined, I buried my head in Will's shoulder for a moment. Emily exclaimed as we pulled apart, "Will's a pimp!" Everyone who heard laughed. xDDD
Afterwards, I went over to Eliot, and asked him for a hug, too. He hugged me tightly, and I let my hands rest on his chest and shoulders, as I wasn't able to move them around to hug him back. I like hugs. x3
We started golf. Ewww. We got into partners. Danny and Alex were partners, leaving Eliot out. My friends had already partnered up. I glanced over in Eliot's direction, but then saw that Beti had been Emily's partner, so Cassie was mine. Eliot's partner was...Argin? Dunno how to spell it. xD Let's call him A, shall we? Cassie and I sat near them. One partner was to get a piece of paper that attempted to show you how to hold a golf club; the other was to get the club. Cassie and I spent a while debating over who was more likely to kill someone with the club, then finally asked Eliot. It took only a moment for him to say to me, "Probably you."
"Hey!" I protested. "I'm not THAT much of a klutz!"
He pointed to my knee, and said, "Exhibit A." I couldn't resist laughing. Cassie got the club.
By the way, we're spending 2 to 3 weeks on golf. Uggh. -.-
When we couldn't quite figure the paper out, Eliot came over and said to Cassie, "You're holding it wrong." He showed her how to.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I used to take golf," he told me. Oh.
A had the club in their group. I hid from Cassie behind Eliot.
Cassie and I make the best klutzy pair, by the way. During a relay, she was second, and I was third, and as she tried to hand me the stick, we somehow collided, and both tripped. Smart, eh?
Right. Rushed now. Three minutes.
Hid behind Eliot. Eliot helped me with my grip when I got the club.
Passing Period:
Walked to English with Danny. Glomped Lily, whom we saw when biking to school. Rejoined Danny.
English:
Started reading Iliad. Teacher sad something about how every human possesses some emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, love. At the last, Eliot and I glanced at each other. Yay. ^^ I blushed.
After class, I tripped over...nothing. Eliot saw, and said, "And you say you're not a klutz!" Haha. As he left, he said, "Goodbye, Faye."
Squee!
Right. Fencing tomorrow! Can't wait. Mom signed me up today. Instructor (who goes by El) sounds nice. Mom says he's only fifteen-ish! Woah.
Gotta go. Help me remember to go into more detail about that, and tell you about Katy and Lily coming over after school, me burning the butter in a pan that was off, and the Vikram incident in PE.

He went back to his seat, and I regained control of my computer. Showed Holly my lovely ice skating bruise, and laughed at her antics. Bell rang. Hugged Will again before I left with Holly, still clinging to her.
Passing Period:
Hugged Ripley as I waited for Lisa. Hugged Toby, and listened to his complaints about his sister, who spent hours taking a Twilight quiz, and took notes. Pfft. Silly thing. OMG NICK SHAVED HIS SIDEBURNS. Emily was pointing to him, and it took me a second (distracted by Eliot, whom I had noticed behind me) to notice what was up. I gaped at him, then grinned. About time, too. Somehow, Eliot got ahead of me in the crowd. I tapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey." Then I hugged him tightly. He said, "Hey," back as he hugged me. As we parted and went to our respective classes, I made note that he was wearing a bright red jacket, though he claimed that he didn't get cold. Hah.
Bio:
Delivered Emily's note. Hugged Cassie, Jenny, and Emily. That's about it.
Passing Period:
Nothing, really.
Geometry:
We did Geometry, as I tell Rina every time she asks what we did in math. Max and I chatted. Emily and I chatted. Tried some of her strong-smelling lotion. Stole Graham's seat. Haha, Graham. Rawr.
Passing Period:
Collected Rina, huddled against her, Holly, and Maya for warmth. Saw Christine. Dropped stuff and GLOMPED. Nearly ripped my arm off from hanging on. Haha. Did I mention she's tall?
Lunch:
Very Perverted. Made the preamble into...a very perverted piece of work. Haha. Pooled money with Rina to get cookies. Yum. Hugged Hannah and Dani...and Ripley again. x3
Passing Period:
Nothing.
Band:
BAND ROOM WAS ACTUALLY OPEN WHEN LUNCH ENDED! OMG! ;o Sean said the teacher was sleeping. xDDD Actually had a reasonable conversation with Sean. Told him not to hit my knees because of the bruises. He flicked one, but missed the bruise. Haha.
Passing Period:
Nothing.
P.E.:
Re-hugged Chrissie in the locker room. Got out before anyone. Again. Sat on my number with knees up. After a while, Eliot came out, and saw my knees. "What happened?" he said loudly. I smiled up at him and said, "Ice skating, remember?"
"Oh, yeah..." he said. He started to say something else, but Katy came and exclaimed over my knees. -.- Eliot went to talk to Alex.
Katy gave me a hug, because I was cold and shivering, then had to go. I joined Eliot, who was now talking to Danny, and heard a strange sentence. Forget what it was. I laughed and said, "See! You guys always have the best conversations."
Eliot grinned, and said, "Yeah. We were talking about ____ earlier." Forget what he said. Pfft. He said something about being cold. I said I thought he said he didn't get cold. He said that he did sometimes. Haha.
Emily came up behind me and poked me in the sides. I squealed, jumped, turned, and started after her. When I turned back, Eliot was laughing. I pointed at him, suppressed my smile, and said, "You shut up."
He said something about that being the best part of the day, or something. Pfft. Again.
Girl friends and I talked for a while. I got multiple hugs from them, as I was still shivering.
"Look, Chrissie!" I held up my knee. "I went ice skating! Can you tell?" She got this horrified look on her face, and said how much it must hurt. I reassured her that it didn't. Jenny looked, and called it pretty. Very loudly. xD "Thank you, Jenny!" I said, beaming up at her. "You're the only one who seems to grasp my point!" Cassie was in between "Ouch!" and "Pretty!"
Roll call.
As I was making my way back to where most of my friends were after I was noted, I was still shivering. I was walking kinda towards Will, and Eliot was close behind him.
I really don't know why I did it, but I asked Will for a hug, because I was cold. He gave me one, and held on. He beckoned to Emily, and commanded her to join the hug, while holding me against him. I wouldn't look at Eliot. When Emily joined, I buried my head in Will's shoulder for a moment. Emily exclaimed as we pulled apart, "Will's a pimp!" Everyone who heard laughed. xDDD
Afterwards, I went over to Eliot, and asked him for a hug, too. He hugged me tightly, and I let my hands rest on his chest and shoulders, as I wasn't able to move them around to hug him back. I like hugs. x3
We started golf. Ewww. We got into partners. Danny and Alex were partners, leaving Eliot out. My friends had already partnered up. I glanced over in Eliot's direction, but then saw that Beti had been Emily's partner, so Cassie was mine. Eliot's partner was...Argin? Dunno how to spell it. xD Let's call him A, shall we? Cassie and I sat near them. One partner was to get a piece of paper that attempted to show you how to hold a golf club; the other was to get the club. Cassie and I spent a while debating over who was more likely to kill someone with the club, then finally asked Eliot. It took only a moment for him to say to me, "Probably you."
"Hey!" I protested. "I'm not THAT much of a klutz!"
He pointed to my knee, and said, "Exhibit A." I couldn't resist laughing. Cassie got the club.
By the way, we're spending 2 to 3 weeks on golf. Uggh. -.-
When we couldn't quite figure the paper out, Eliot came over and said to Cassie, "You're holding it wrong." He showed her how to.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I used to take golf," he told me. Oh.
A had the club in their group. I hid from Cassie behind Eliot.
Cassie and I make the best klutzy pair, by the way. During a relay, she was second, and I was third, and as she tried to hand me the stick, we somehow collided, and both tripped. Smart, eh?
Right. Rushed now. Three minutes.
Hid behind Eliot. Eliot helped me with my grip when I got the club.
Passing Period:
Walked to English with Danny. Glomped Lily, whom we saw when biking to school. Rejoined Danny.
English:
Started reading Iliad. Teacher sad something about how every human possesses some emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, love. At the last, Eliot and I glanced at each other. Yay. ^^ I blushed.
After class, I tripped over...nothing. Eliot saw, and said, "And you say you're not a klutz!" Haha. As he left, he said, "Goodbye, Faye."
Squee!
Right. Fencing tomorrow! Can't wait. Mom signed me up today. Instructor (who goes by El) sounds nice. Mom says he's only fifteen-ish! Woah.
Gotta go. Help me remember to go into more detail about that, and tell you about Katy and Lily coming over after school, me burning the butter in a pan that was off, and the Vikram incident in PE.
Faye
So There's This Boy...
And he's just so wonderful. He's smart, he's funny, and he's really, really sweet. We can talk for hours about nothing in particular, and never get bored. He's so strong and gives the most wonderful hugs. I don't think he gets just how much I like him, even though I've tried to tell him. And somehow, he likes me too. Whenever I'm sad or lonely, he's always there. He can always make me smile. He is my own personal sun. I just wish I could tell him one more time. I want him to know that I think about him constantly. I can't get him off my mind. But he wants to be
just friends.
I really, really like this boy.
