Zohwe

I now realize that James and I were not meant to be. He's started hanging out with Juliana's friend, Zohwe. And no, it's not even pronounced zoh-weee, it's just pronounced zoh. Seriously, you could cut off like, over half her name.

Yes, her hair is that shade of lilac. And she does wear print dresses and boots all the time. I'm not trying to criticize her for everything she does, she's just actually really mean.

Oh, yes so not mean at all.

She also makes things super awkward.

She also took a bunch of selfies (which I am strongly against) on my phone when James came over and she tagged along.

SHE IS SO ANNOYING

What happened at the dance

My computer is turning everything dullish-coloured. Anyways, the dance on Wednesday night  was not as bad as I thought it would. Let me just start from afternoon. When I came home, Emi was just casually sitting there on my couch in my room. Now, if it wasn't her, I'd freak a bit, but since Emi was Emi, I just said hey. She told me that we should get ready for the dance together. That is the last thing I'd ever expect her to say, but I said OK.

We had to supercurl her hair and hitch it into a way-high ponytail so it was an okayish length.

So when we arrived at the dance, someone stopped me by the door, which really disturbed our plan to pretty much camp out at the snack bar. I waved for Emi to go on and turned to face whoever it was.

"Hey." James said. "Who'd you bring as your date?"

"Ha. Ha. No one. You already know that." I replied.

"Well, not until just now."

"Really?"

"Yeah. So you really are coming with nobody as your date?"

"Pretty much."

"Well, that's good, isn't it?"

"Why? So you can laugh at how dateless I am?"

"Dude." James said. "I don't have a date either."

PAUSE.

THAT is where I realized something-- I really liked James. I mean, nothing. He invited me to dance, so I went and told Emi I was going for a dance, only she was talking to Dawson. Apparently, Juliana had gone to the bathroom. So I went and danced. And couldn't believe how stupid I'd been for twelve years. He was the one for me. Seriously. After the song ended, I went back to the snack bar because I was feeling unsettled with my old newfound discovery (ha. ha). I asked Emi what her Dawson thing was about, and she just said nothing. so I looked over to Dawson who was at the other side of the room with Juliana, who funnily enough was wearing the same dress as Belle.

They were dancing normally enough, so I turned back to the snack bar and reached for another marshmallow cookie...but a hand stopped me. 

"Enough eating!" the snack lady said. "Seriously, did you girls come here just to eat?"

"Pretty much." Emi responded.

"Well go dance! Have fun! You don't get to do this often! Shoo!"

We walked onto the dance floor and stood under the spotlight awkwardly. That is, until James and Dawson came up to us.

"Dance?" James asked me.

"Dance?" Dawson asked Emi (WHAT??).

"Where's Juliana, the queen  of superficiality?" Emi asked.

"Queen of the bathroom, I think you mean." Dawson replied.

I didn't hear any more because James and started dancing, but I did see this...

AAAH

So Juliana came out of the bathroom and caught them dancing. I'm not going to lie, it was hilarious.

"WHAT! DAWSON? GOTH GIRL?" she screamed. "WHAT?"

"Oh, hey, Juliana. Her name's Emi." Dawson said, all casually.

"I'm your date!" Juliana screeched

"Really? I thought the bathroom was."

"I WAS FEELING A LITTLE SICK!"

"Why didn't you go home?"

"Because I was on a date with you, Hot Dawson, and I wasn't going to cut it short! No way!"

"Did you just call me Hot Dawson?"

"Maybe. That's what everyone calls you. Face it, Dawson, all the girls want you."

"Not everyone!" I chipped in.

"Everyone unrelated to Dawson, anyways!" Juliana snapped.

"Uh, I don't, either." Emi said.

"Then why were you dancing with him?"

"Because he asked me."

"YOU ASKED HER?"

"Yeah."

"WE ARE OVER! DON'T ASK TO TAKE ME BACK, BECAUSE I WON'T COME!"

"Wasn't going to ask for you back."

"You weren't?" Juliana blinked.

"No."

At that point, she ran into the bathroom again. She just can't tear herself away from her bathroom date. Emi and I went back to the snack bar, James joined us.

Ditched

Ditched for the dates.

Everyone's hanging with their dance dates, ditching Emi and I. Today we were in the library (Belle, Emi, Carol, Rita, Hannah, and I) when Ralph and Miles (who are best friends) came and whisked Hannah and Belle away. Next came a crowd of popular people, including Simon, and Carol got up and left, too. Jake came in with a huge box of chocolate and it was all so romantic and stuff until the librarian said yelled "NO FOOD IN THE LIBRARY, DANG IT, GET OUT!" 

...And then there were two. 

So Emi turned to me and said what could not be truer: "Love is stupid."

I asked her if she was going to the dance, half expecting a no, but Emi just told me that if they had free food, she was there.

"But the tickets cost money." I said.

"Way less than the food I will consume at the dance will cost, I bet."

"Are you going with anyone?"

"I will never, ever, ever date anyone ever, Catherine, seriously." Then she just turned back to her book.

Emi's the only person who calls me Catherine.

Anyways, I still have not managed to get a date and the dance is tomorrow night. I hope it'll be fun hanging at the food bar with Emi all night long.

I know I said I didn't care, but maybe I do, a bit. Only there's no one left to ask.

I Still Don't Have a Date

If you read the post before this, you will find that there is a semi-formal dance coming up. Or maybe you've already read it. Anyways, now I still don't have a date, but Rita, Hannah, Carol and even Belle have dates. I think it's just Emi and I who don't have dates. IN THE WHOLE GRADE. Hmmm... Oh well, we can go as aloners (like that word?).

So Belle's going with this dude named Ralph.

Hannah's going with Miles.

Rita's going with Jake, obviously, because they're going out.

And Carol's started chipping her way into the popular crowd by dating Simon.

Then there's me, and I've decided to go as an aloner because I think everyone else is taken. Oh well. I really don't care.

Dancing

Okay, so maybe this post is about more than just dancing, but I'll get to the dancing-ness eventually.

Or maybe not eventually, but right about now. 

*Ahem*

Because my school is so amazingly creative, they are hosting one of those semi-formal dances. Since it's semi-formal people my age go insane and everyone starts asking everyone else to the dance. Sheesh. It's not like it's a PROFESSIONAL ADULT BALL or anything. 

So today usually-cheery Belle was like a storm cloud. And then we walked into the lunchroom. 

Lately, Dawson has been hanging with Juliana. He's asked her to the dance. Really. I thought he could do better. Juliana is one of those mega-popular narcissistic slut superficial spray-tanned fake-blonde phony over-sporty conformists. She also kind of looks like some sort of airbrushed model Belle. Anyways, I always thought Belle had a thing (eyebrow waggle) for Dawson. So that explains her recent grumpiness. And pathetic excuses to come to my house.

They get worse and worse until eventually...

Oh, yeah, but he was with Juliana so Belle kinda left. The dance is on Wednesday, so I have only got a few more days to find a date.

Wish me luck (or I could just go alone)

P.S. I found out something interesting: Dawson is considered one of the hottest guys in school. :| Ew right? Unless you're Juliana or Belle.

Why I was away for so long

OK, I don't know how many people will care, but here's why: I was working on a really long chaos Walking post before I realized something... it sucked. Well, maybe I'll post it someday, but for now here are some random drawings I did.

In my opinion, everyone should keep bed boxes/crates/trays by or under their bed for when they don't feel like moving when they wake up.

For some reason, I scare dogs and babies.
