a day is a day is a day

Today was a Friday, thank goodness. I was almost late for AP Psych, and of course we had a Pop Quiz. I sat down, only to see Pen Thief already leafing through his book. Apparently i wasn't the only one who hadn't studied!

I managed to stumble through Psych despite having papers shoved at me by Pen Thief. I got to lunch, and the first person standing in my way is Lacrosse Captain.

Lacrosse Captain and i have a history. I had a crush on him earlier this year, and told him so. He said he didn't want to date me, but as time went on, he said he felt like he was dating me without the label, and decided he wanted to date me for real. We had been having sex for the past two or three months, And thats how i wanted it to stay.
"Zoe, I don't know how i feel about you seeing other guys...i want you to go out with me"
"NO! i'm going to college soon and i want to have fun! Plus, you didn't want a relationship-- you told me all you wanted was casual sex. so why shouldn't i see other people? you can too!"
"No Zoe. I only want to see you."

HA! Two days later, Lacrosse Captain was dating Cat In The Dryer, and thats EXACTLY who he was standing WITH. Turns out she was in a club selling carnations for valentines day. theoretically, the money would be going to cancer research.

Lacrosse Captain grabbed my arm.
"Buy a carnation, Zoe"
"No thanks, i think i'll pass"
"But the proceeds go to prevent and conduct research about Breast Cancer!" he whined. "or at least, i think it is. Some kind of cancer, anyway."
"No, Lacrosse Captain. I don't want a carnation"
"Then you don't support Cancer research?"
"I do, but i'm not going to buy a shoddy carnation from someone who doesn't even know what cause exactly they're selling for"

Lacrosse captain narrows his already squinty eyes.
"i had a friend who DIED from cancer"
I roll my eyes.
"Me too, and honestly, i don't trust this school and especially you with my money. I support cancer research, so i'll make sure i help the cause by giving this dollar to someone who knows how to invest it properly"

at that, i turned on my heel and walked away. Lacrosse Captain isn't very smart.

He was trying to dig at me, of course, to impress Cat In The Dryer.

If he really wanted to insult me, he should have said i wasn't buying a carnation because i had no valentine. Either way, not true. I'll do fine this valentines day, thanks.

ANYWAY, after a long day at work, i get a call from Enlightened Stoner.
"LETS GET DRUNK!"
interpretation: let me get in your pants.
"No, i'm tired. Can i take a rain check?"
"you're bailing on me?"
"No... i'm not. i'm putting on my PJs. if you want, you can come over and sit by the fire with me.

two minutes later, another text.
"I HAVE VANILLA VODKA!"
interpretation: let me get in your pants...PLEASE!

as much as i like Enlightened Stoner, i also don't think we have good chemistry...i can do a lot better. he also isn't a great kisser. So much for that.

He came over anyway.
"you look cute in your jammies. i really wanted to see you."

i really wanted to go to bed, but never mind what Zoe wants! Enlightened Stoner stayed for almost an hour drinking my tea (which he says tastes like pee, so he puts half a cup of sugar in it!) before he gets up to leave.
"Zoe-- can i have a kiss?"
I guess. He left, promising to call me tomorrow.
I shut the door, relieved.

Enlightened Stoner reminds me too much of a less attractive, smarter version of Lacrosse Captain, and i don't want to date him either...i don't even know if i want to be with him physically. he isn't a very good kisser and i've heard he's poorly endowed...poor boy.

ANYWAY- i guess i'll break the news to him tomorrow.

Love,
ZOE!
