Handy Mandy

April 13

This is is just a random conversation we had. I didn't have anything as to where she was coming from with that.

Mandy: Just when I was almost willing to be friends with Landyn again. He goes and screws it up -_-

Me: The heck did he do?

Mandy: *screenshot of a meme photo she was sent: "this is the Dead Sea, the saltiest place on earth, second to only your b*tch a$$ (foreshadowing)* Aiden had the decency to apologize and say it wasn't his idea.

Me: I don't get it. Oohhh now I do. I don't think he was serious.

Mandy: I think it was supposed to be an insult? It's a thing I don't care and am not taking too heart.

Me: He doesn't care enough to insult you because he doesn't want to get into another fight.

Mandy: Again,  I don't care. I'm not going to start something pointless.

Me: That's a good mentality, because now I don't have to mediate XD

Mandy: I'm getting better at it.

NEXT: Later that night when I was waiting my turn at an audition.

Mandy: What is the capital for Mecklenburg-Vorpommen?

Me: I forgot.

Mandy: Oof. How 'bout Bayern?

Me: now is not the time XD

Mandy: I NEED HELP

Me: LOOK IT UP

Mandy: -_-

Me: I DIDN'T BRING MY IPAD WITH ME TO AUDITION

~~~~~~a bit later

Mandy: Spotlight (our theater) is like a family.

Me: So I've heard.

Mandy: Yas. You stink *that rockstar tongue-out emoji* Uhuh. I think I'm not a part of the family. :)

(I later mentioned on our group chat)

Me: Did you catch what I said, a friend broke his collarbone?

Mandy: Um...yes, but who? OOOOOO, LANDYN?

Me: Yes. Landyn broke his collarbone AND THEY STILL LOST (I was trying to break the ice for her)

Mandy: Karma.

Me: FOR WHAT

Mandy: I would explain, but you're still friends with him and I'm not gonna do that.

Me: I mean, I get that he sent that thing (about the salty water) earlier BUT HE'S USUALLY NICE. Do it.

Mandy: This is exactly why I'm not going to say anything else. You're getting too defensive...

Me: My thing is to soften the blow beforehand, so that's what I'm doing. I'm just curious, because I didn't think you guys still bothered each other.

Mandy: I don't bother him. He's the person who keeps bothering me. I was actually thinking before the message he sent that I could try to be friends with him again, and then he sent that and I decided that he doesn't deserve this fine piece of human XD

Me: I know that you're allowed to not like him, but aside from that little jab earlier, he didn't do anything. MANDY YOU LEGIT TRY TO SLAM THE SCIENCE DOOR IN HIS FACE O MULTIPLE OCCASIONS

Mandy: I was messing around. "Mandy" is a name dead to me (her real name is Miranda). He gets what he serves. I'm not looking to start anything with him, if he doesn't want me as a friend, so be it. It's his loss, not mine.

Me: I know XD. Alrighty, MANDA. But I mean, a broken collarbone is one of the most painful ones to break. He didn't quite deserve that. I don't think it matters to him if you guys become friend again (OH BOY WAS I WRONG). He was talking awhile back about how he didn't know why you ended things.

Mandy: When was this? I don't understand why you're defending him -_-

Me: 1, Months ago, I don't remember exactly. 2, I DO THIS WITH EVERYONE. I EVEN TOLD SYNCERE TO GET BACK TOGETHER WITH JADEN IF BEING BROKEN UP MADE HER SO SAD

Mandy: THAT WASN'T A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP FOR EITHER OF THEM. BESIDES, SHE WAS JUST USING ALL OF US. AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT LANDYN ISN'T DOING THE SAME THING?

Me: I KNOW, BUT SHE WAS CRYING OVER THE PHONE AND I'M A PUSHOVER. I THINK SHE WANTED PEOPLE TO LIKE HER. BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD PERSON, EVEN IF HIS RELATIONSHIP HABITS REMIND YOU OF YOUR DAD. Like, I was asking strangers to vote on a name and one cussed me out and he wasn't a garbage person. Just recently, we were talking about Mirko and how I want the first punch (he said he'll hold Mirko down for me)

Mandy: THAT'S EXCTLY WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK. I WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE ME, BUT I DON'T PUSH PEOPLE AROUND FOR IT. VIOLENCE ISN'T THE WAY TO SOLVE ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS. IT SUCKS THAT YOU AREN'T COMING TO ME FOR A BUNCH OF THAT STUFF ANYMORE (If I did, she would explain how she has it worse) I FEEL LIKE HE'S STEALING YOU. But hey, if you choose him over me in the future, it's fine. It's happened before and probably will again.

Me: I AM A PUSHOVER WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO? WE WERE JOKING AROUND THEN BECAUSE MIRKO SUCKS. AND I BARELY EVEN TALK TO HIM IN PERSON, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM REPLACING YOU

Mandy: HE DOESN'T CARE ENOUGH TO TALK TO YOU IN PERSON. HE JUST TEXTS YOU. HE COULD BE SAYING STUFF ABOUT YOU BEHIND YOUR BACK. ALL I'M SAYING IS BE CAREFUL

Me: NO BECAUSE I'M DYSLEXIC AND IT MESSES UP MY SPEECH. WE TEXT A BUNCH, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION. HE ISN'T. I DON'T NEED TO BE, HE HAS THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

Mandy: Still doesn't give him the right to be a jerk. I would say that I don't wanna hear it when he turns around and stabs you in the back, but we both know that I can't do that. I care too much about others -_-

Me: Nothing does. He won't.

Mandy: You don't know that he won't. You can never know who will stay and who will turn around and stab you in the back. Trust me, I've been through it many times. It sucks and I'm just trying to protect you. You did the same thing to me when I actually liked Landyn.

Me: I do know XD. I like to trust people, I've been through it as well. I did the what?

Mandy: Nevermind. I need to focus on this assignment and going to bed. I'll study for the test in the morning.

Me: Okay XD. What the heck did I do?

Mandy: Before we knew Landyn at all, you were trying to protect me from him. Now, I'm doing the same.

Me: I was?! That may have been because you said he was too full of himself like a week prior XD

Mandy: He still is -_-

Me: He is quite full of himself XD (that's not a bad thing) But he doesn't boast a ton.

Mandy: That is a lie.

Me: Not quite.

Mandy: Uhuh.

Me: He doesn't say things like "YOU'RE ALL STUPID GET REKT"

Mandy: ....weeeelllll

Me: ....noooooooooo. All in all, I think he's a good person and you should give him another chance.

Mandy: I was about to then he got stupider -_-

Me: I mean, he's very smart, but he shouldn't have done that.

Mandy: He shouldn't have done a lot of things that he has done and does do.

Me: That's the only one I can think of that makes me cringe.

Next one in the next chapter.
