The New Boy: Phan High School AU

Chapter 39 - Jamie

Okay yeah, Howell got Danny and mine's relationship history mostly right. Props to him, honestly. I'll be the first to admit it's a rather complicated one. 

Let's see.
Yeah, we met doing a play in year 8 and we were friends for awhile. He had kind of a reputation for dating like every girl pretty much, and I was the only girl he ever dated more than once.
Almost no one knows about this, so of course Dan missed it, but Danny and I almost dated in year 9. We kissed a couple times and then I found out he had a long-distance girlfriend so I called everything off until they broke up. They broke up fairly quickly, but we didn't start dating till like October of year 10.  But then, cos we were 14 and fuckin' idiots,  we broke up after, like, a month.  I can always tell when we're gonna break up because we stop really talking to each other for a few days beforehand.  And then we don't talk to each other for a couple months after either.

Anyway.
Yeah, we didn't talk for like 6 months, but then we got back together. Then we broke up again.  Then I stopped sucking so bad at dance (I went from Completely Abysmal to Terrible Most of the Time But Is Sometimes Okay) and got moved into the class he assistant teaches. So we got back together.  Then we broke up and completely ignored each other during the fall musical. Which was kind of awkward. Mostly because he and our friend Ethan split the role of Tony and and me and Cara split the role of Maria. So I basically had to kiss my ex onstage and then ignore him in real life. It got pretty annoying. So we talked things over at the cast party. We figured out we kept breaking up because I like to keep all my relationships kinda on the downlow and he doesn't. So we decided that we weren't going to date again, but we would be close friends who would kiss and hold hands and do coupley things. It was fun. Everyone just assumed we were dating anyway.

Until he decided that us 'not dating' meant that he didn't have to break up with me in order to date someone else. Like in the beginning, we both didn't really want to be in a relationship with anyone, but we still liked each other. But then in like December, I think it was, we started talking less. And I was just like 'oh shit, we're not even dating and we're gonna break up the same way we've done for like 3 years? ok'. So I went and talked to him about it and he was like 'no, yeah we're cool' etc etc. Then we start taking even less and I'm just like 'whatever' resigned to fate and stuff. But then, because I know pretty much all the gossip at all times, I hear a rumour that's been going around. "Danny Oswin is dating Kylie Hastings." So I do a little bit of digging, because I'm nosy as fuck, and I'm good at finding information. I'm trying not to seem too interested and suddenly it all makes sense why he totally withdrew. He's now dating Kylie, even though just two months before he 'didn't want a relationship'.

She fricking broke up with one of my best friends, Taj, just to date my ex. So Taj was pissed at her because she handled their breakup really immaturely. I was pissed at her because I was kinda pissed at everyone involved. So because I'm great at dealing with my problems, I literally just ignored Danny until they broke up. Like straight up ignoring him as if he wasn't even in the room. What can I say, I'm petty. They broke up after like a month anyway and I stopped ignoring him so hardcorely, but I still ignored him like 60% of the time. I was still mad, and I was dating Audrey anyway.

But then we both worked the summer camp again and we had to work closely with each other, because he's the dance intern and I do all the costumes and shit so we had to start speaking to each other again.  And so we got back together in the end of August and we've been together ever since.

But then again, we haven't really talked for two days, so who knows?

uugggghhhh I kinda hate this chapter lmao it's just there cos it'll be important later on I think

also uuuugggghhhhhhhh I just got cast in another show but I didn't get the part I wanted and I'm really salty about it because the girl who got it is legit not good. like I know for sure at least one of the ppl on the audition panel put me as their first choice and I think there might have been more but the director apparently changed his mind at the last minute.
all my friends got cast as leads in the roles they wanted and I'm super super happy for them but I'm so fucking upset that I came so close to getting a lead along side them and then didn't.
