He didn't talk to me today. Once again, I took a perfectly fine relationship and completely botched it. He and I were friends. We were comfortable with each other, goofing off and everything; it was great. But no, I had to go and start
feeling things, like the little dumbass I am. I had to get attracted to him, and want more from him than friendship. Okay, that's fine, we could have dealt with that. I could have surpressed it, I could have eventually willed it away. But no. It was a good night, I was feeling confident with myself, so I made the dumbest mistake of my life. I asked him
how he felt about me. "Just friends," is what he said. Just friends. Is there anything more condemning than those two words? At the time, it was all okay; I told him that was fine, gave him a hug, and we were cool. But, low-and-behold, come classtime today, he doesn't say two words to me. Everytime I tried to talk to him, he pretty much flatout ignored me. Just friends doesn't exist. You can't be friends after something like that. And I liked being his friend--I could have done that for the rest of my life--but no, I had to take a chance. I had to fool myself into thinking that I would ever be good enough for anybody. What a fucking retard move that was; I'm never going to be ideal. I'm never even going to be adequate. I'll never be good enough.
Its not so much that I can't live without him. I can. It was just one of those high school crushed that you have, and you get over. The thing that gets me is that it wasn't shocking that he didn't feel anything for me. Isn't it bad, when you're used to something like that? I am getting so tired of being everyone's "just friend." Goddess, I don't ask for much, but I do think I'd like to have at least ONE boyfriend before I die. I'd like to have at least my first date, and my first kiss, and my first breakup, even. How much is that to ask?
Apparently a lot.
I don't want consolement from anyone. I'm not interested in people telling me how stupid I am, or that I'm great, or that its his loss. Because its bullshit, and I've heard it all before. Hearing it again won't do me any good. I just needed to vent, and get it out. I don't care about solace.





PS. Neiko, if you're reading this, I think I'm going to skip the meeting tonight. You can go without me, if you want. I used up all my energy today trying to act okay around people, like it wasn't bothering me, but I'm zapped now. I don't even know if I'm going to go to school tomorra.
But if it weren't for you and Lena, I'd probably feel a whole lot worse. So thanks. Sorry about the meeting.
