Dear diary,
Today is a day that I usually don't look forward to because it's gossip column day and usually what's written in the column never reflects well on me. To be fair, I don't think the column favorably reflects anyone or anything. Still, it's usually not fun reading about how you're just a distraction for your boyfriend because you're easy and willing. However, today, I actually purposely picked up and read the gossip column. I know, right? It's crazy. What possessed me into doing such an insane thing? 20 bucks did. I almost felt bad for taking Oli's money because it was such an easy bet. How could he not think that he and Amanda would still be a topic of conversation? I mean, this is probably the last time they will be, but still. They are two extremely attractive individuals that sometimes spend time alone together? And Amanda's a touchy person? Come on. Here's the exact quote from the article:
"Since Sophomore Olivier Perreault doesn't seem willing yet to drop his 'relationship' with his
I mean, who writes this stuff? It's kind of funny really. Like, first off everyone would know if Amanda and Oli were really together because they'd have to do everything in public. And Amanda is like loopy over Jade. But even past that. I mean, if I were really slutting around, I'm pretty sure my numbers would be higher than one in the category of number of people slept with. Also, I'm pretty sure that Oli and I wouldn't hold hands, go on dates, or spend so much time together. Then again, I've never been someone's slut before. maybe that is what sluts do. For all everyone is sure that a girl writes the column, sometimes I doubt it. She has to be a major traitor to her gender if that's the case. Also she's got to be a heartless bitch, but pretty much everyone is in agreement about that. Even Jess got nailed again by the stupid column.
And I quote, "Porter Clarke must be a masochist because he's still hanging around with Jessica Wilson. We're pretty sure she's got to be catering to his every sexual whim for someone so childish and annoying to be allowed around the angsty ex-drunk."
Like what the fuck? How is this stuff even allowed in a school establishment. It's totally messed up. I mean, world class boarding school, but trashy gossip column that is definitely not school appropriate? Like, who thought that was okay? Clearly someone got hit in the head somewhere along the line. Like, I never believed Beth when she used to talk about how terrible the column was because it just didn't make any logical sense. But nope, nope, she was right. I mean, the whole thing would be much more laughable if everyone just ignored it but the insults people sling at you are directed by being fueled by the column.
For instance, this girl that Oli was involved with last year, 'accidentally' pushed me over in gym and made me miss the shot for our team and then told me that I need to focus more because I can't sleep my way to getting everything in life? Like, the fuck? Was that needed? Whatever. Jealous bitches are crazy and clearly can't get over the fact that they're not the girl of choice by Oli. It's kind of sad.
Oh, but since I mentioned Beth earlier, it reminded me. She wants me to invite Oli over to her place for dinner with her and Sam, but I haven't gotten around to asking him yet. I mean, it just seems awkward. You know? I like Oli, a lot and I'm pretty confident he feels the same but the whole family dinner thing? It seems a bit soon for that, you know? I don't want to scare him off by feeding him to the wolves. Well, wolf. I'm sure Sam is capable of behaving himself and would be pretty uncaring during the whole thing. Beth on the other hand is going to question him like nobody's business about what his family is like and if he's making sure to treat me right and where he sees our relationship going and the fact that she 'knows people' if he hurts me. My God... Beth is like what a dad should be like. I mean, my actual Dad is cool and if Oli met him he'd be cooler about it than Beth would.
Yeah, I really don't want to invite him to that dinner. Ugh, but then Beth might ask him if she thinks I didn't ask him. Honestly, Beth has way too much interest lately in what is going on in my life. Shouldn't she be picking out like linen designs for her wedding with Sam? I'd rather hear wedding talk than be questioned all the time about how things are going with Oli. Beth isn't that merciful though.
Wow, my roommate actually came in. And... I just remembered I'm not wearing pants, or underwear. Great. And Oli is supposed to be here as soon as he finishes his assignment, hence why I was sitting here in just his t-shirt. Huh. I guess I'm not moving anytime soon and it's lucky I had a blanket over me already.
Oops. Oh look. There's Oli. Maybe he can give me pants.
Either way, I've gotta go.
