I usually have no problem focusing, but since that afternoon.. he's all I've been thinking about. There are so many things that are racing through my mind. Me, Piglet, a guy who has never even held hands with someone, almost had sex with the person I hate most. Not to mention, I almost enjoyed it?! Am I going crazy?
But, what really was bugging me was the things he said to me. Did he truly love me no matter what or was he just toying with me? Hah, I don't even need to answer that question. He was probably just bored and wanted to get into the pants of the closest person he could get his lanky hands on. Regardless, all I have to do is to pretend that that never happened is all.
"Piglet! Girl, do you hear me?" Joe waves his hands in front of my face trying to grab my attention.
"Sorry! What were you saying?" I subtly apologize for my rude spacey-ness and focus on what he's telling me
Joe rolled his eyes and smiled before continuing his rant. "Like I was saying, I think i kinda like both of them and I know I have to choose one!" he spoke with stressed tone, holding his forehead like it's about to fall apart.
I use context clues to figure out what we're talking about, but it wasn't very hard. He's been talking about this since summer vacation. "You mean that weird junior Donald and student council president Obama? Please Joe, get over them already." I plead trying to save him from those two very strange options.
"What do you mean?!? Do you wanna date them or something?" He pouts pretending that those two aren't the worst choices you could ever pick. Well, he better be pretending.
I sigh, trying to be as kind as possible. "Listen, Donald's fake tan rubs off on everything he touches and Obama has a boyfriend." I warn, "You can do so much better, Joe."
Joe already looks prepared to defend his craziness, so I brace myself to give the hard truth to him. "Well, Plankton is kinda toxic towards him. They fight a lot out of school and that's why they looked so upset at each other today." He explained something I couldn't really refute but I was still determined to refute whatever things boys do to his brain.
"Joe, he's still dating someone. Don't be a home wrecker." I verbally facepalm and pray he listens just this once, but he can't even listen in class and has been sleeping through every lecture. People don't call him Sleepy Joe for nothing.
"Well, what about you little Mr. I-can't-date-since-it's-distracting! Do you have any guys that caught your eye?"
Oh. I did not expect this conversation to be reversed back onto me and i instantly got flushed.
"HAH! SO YOU DO HAVE SOMEONE!!" He literally yelps for the whole lunchroom to hear. "You have to tell me everything!"
I blush a lot more before speaking. "Okay fine, there is someone I like.." I hesitate to say for obvious reasons. If he finds out I'm scolding him for liking those two weirdos and I like the guy who sleeps with a new girl each weekend, he will never listen to what I have to say or flame me. Both are terrible coming from Joe.
"Awh! My little Iggy is all grown up!" He squealed while pinching my cheeks from the other side of the table.
"Ugh get off of me.." I complain and push him off.
"So.. who is it??"
I gulp before confessing like I'm a murderer on judgement day. "I.. might like Joker."
". . ."
"JOKER?!?!"
-------------------------------
"So.. you're telling me that you almost fucked the fuckboy of our school and you think you might like him now..??" Joe barley speaks out, trying not to laugh.
"Hey, don't laugh at me okay! If you had this happen to you-" I exclaimed before getting cut off by a certain rude someone.
"And you say *I* have bad taste in men? Oh Iggz.. what are we gonna do with you.." He sulks harder than my parents.
Well, Joker wasn't that bad if you think about it. There's a reason he has the highest body count, and I don't blame anyone trying to get a ride while they still can.
"Wait, so he said you liked you too but you think he's lying, right?" Joe tries to understand my explanation.
"Yeah. I don't know what to think of it, so I might just avoid him." I sigh and take a bite of my lunch.
Joe's fave turns into a rather concerned one. "I dunno Iggy, you should face this head on. it's better to ask and get embarrassed than to not ask and miss out on being official with a hot guy, even if he is really crazy." After some thought, he was most definitely right. It isn't good to run away from your problems, is it?
"Yeah, you're right." I agree before the bell rings.
"Kay' Iggy, I gotta go to my next class." He let me know as he got up to dump our trays
"Alright, see you Joe!"
I sit there for a bit after. Yeah, I should talk to him but... what would I say?
I walk out the door and knock myself onto someone, falling back on my butt. As I swiftly apologize, I see the face of the person.
