The Secret Guide to Flanking..

Welcome to My Life, Part One - Effie

Date: 11th April 2013

Yeah, I'm into a guy and yeah, he's into my best friend. Just great isn't it? How someone can make such an impact on you right after he tells you how much he wants your best friend and asks you how to get him. This started about a month ago, another random add on Facebook, she tells me to add him because I'd find him hot, oh Aria, how right you were. He has dark brown hair that nicely covers his forehead which is almost always covered with his grey beanie. He's pretty tall too, compared to me anyway, and tall guys are just the best, the bigger the height gap the better with me. He has an awesome music taste as well, which is cool with me, and he plays guitar, and sings, and yeah I really can't understand why Aria isn't into him.

She's into a guy I went to high school with, Luke, to be honest, I had never really been a fan of him. Even when I was into him myself I never thought he was a nice guy, he was nice to look at, but so is a shiny apple until you realise it's riddled with maggots in the middle. But, she's my best friend and if she's happy then I suppose I have to be too.

We go out a lot now, a group of us, I have become so much more social the past few weeks,since we started talking to Josh. He's made us into social people, what has he done?! The evil monster! No I'm joking, he's great really.

So we all went out today, all seven of us. We had fun, we laughed, I got jealous, again. Aria finds it so easy to flirt without even realising she's doing it, but she doesn't want to flirt with Josh, because she likes Luke, but she can't help herself, i don't mind because he doesn't know she knows that I told her he likes her, when actually, I told her just a few seconds after he told me. She knows every single little thing he's said to me about her, she knows he told me I had no chance with him, but I still try. I still act exactly the same as I do with everyone else, if anything a but mire reserved with him. Like today, I pretty much had a fist fight with Aria outside the comic shop, all playful but yeah, we may have bruises tomorrow, anyway, I would probably do the same with anyone else in our little group, but not him. He's different, quieter in a way, not with Aria, he treats Aria so differently to the way he treats the rest of us. Play fights, poke wars, physical contact, conversation.

Today was good though, I suppose. Could've been better o the Josh front but Aria doesn't mind me moaning to her, I hope. i suppose she doesn't have a choice anyway, I'm at her house tonight so I left my diary at home who I usually moan to.

Talking of moaning, I may possibly well be dying. Being out in the rain isn't a good idea in shorts, tights, vest top and a hoodie. Never. Again. Now I'm all achey and sniffly and I could be dead right now.

According to Aria, I'm a complete and utter flanker, a flirt wanker, relieving oneself from flirting needs. I flirt with guys not because I'm into them, but because I have sixteen year old girl's needs. I need to flirt, it's what I do and people say, "Effie, you have a serious problem," but it's not like I'm on drugs or anything, it's harmless, right? Anyway, it's not as bad as the supposed 'caffeine addiction' my dad says I have, he doesn't know about half of my intake anyway! Ah well, I'm technically not really dead yet, just dying of a cold, I'll survive until tomorrow.
