My Pretend Boyfriend

School Fair

The school fair is tomorrow, and Gale is gonna play with his band in the concert that ends it. Sally is... How can I say it...

INSANE about this.

She started talking to Gale on instagram about a week ago, and today she finally talked physically with him, and they said they would meet tomorrow at the fair.

I will have to serve in a food truck because when we turn 15 we have to help on some sort of thing in the school fair, so this is my first year at this and I'm not sure I'm gonna do it perfectly. I have slight social anxiety and it's generally hard for me to have conversations with people, so a job serving food at a fair is bad, but at MY SCHOOL FAIR it's worse, as I'll have to deal with people from MY SCHOOL.
At least I won't be alone, my mom and about three other classmates will also be there to help me, so maybe I won't screw everything up... I hope. Lea won't be there, as she arrives from Uruguay in Sunday and the fair is in Saturday, but most of my other friends will be there. My shift is the last one, with Nick, who is a friend of mine, Debra, a popular girl who's not bad, and Liam, a guy who was in my band for the school week. Debra and Liam are a couple, and sometimes they give me diabetes. Yeah, I do think they are cute, but come on, please stop being so sweet in my presence.

I have NO IDEA of what I'm  gonna wear. I bet at last minute I will grab some jeans and a t-shirt and that'll do, but I wanna look presentable. I have still got the after effects of my crush on Landon, a guy who friendzoned me for more than a year, but I do not blame him, as he was (and still is) the ex of one of my best friends back then, Mathilda.

MAN.
OH SHIT.
FUCK.
FOR FUCKS SAKE.
END ME.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PANTS TO WEAR.
ALL MY JEANS ARE WET, MY MOM WASHED THEM.
SHIT.
SHIT.
SHIT.

<Ok, calm down. You can do this. Just grab a dress or some shorts or something!> you may say.

BUT BELIEVE ME, IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

You see, I am hairy. Like, VERY hairy. My arms and legs are hairier than the boys'. And I'm not allowed to shave.

THANKS, MOM.

**********

Ok, my mom lend me her pants, I'm ok.

FOR NOW.
I'm in the car heading to the school fair. It's 7:00 p.m. and my job is until 11:00 p.m... It'll be either awesome or horrible. Fuck.

I arrive to my school and see Mathilda, my ex bff (she's a bitch now) with Daina, another ex friend. We say hello and BOOM as some sort of magic trick Landon's mom arrives. IT WAS AWKWARD AS SHIT. I mean, there was her son's ex girlfriend and her son's ex girl-friend (as in friend-who-is-a-girl). And we are enemies. And Matilda KNOWS that I used to like him, and she still thinks I like him. And I think my mom and she have some sort of promise that Landon and I will someday marry, cause my mom once told me she would like my first boyfriend to be him (I think she read my diary or something).

But luck saved me when I saw Sally and Sarah right there, I said bye and ran to them. Sarah wore a cheap plastic crown and Sally some fluor bead necklaces, I looked at them weirdly and they said they won them in some games.

I had a REALLY GREAT IMPACT when a band started playing FREAKING ARCTIC MONKEYS. I MEAN I LOVE THAT BAND SSSSSOOOOO MUCH. Me and Clara (who has almost the same musical likes and dislikes as me) started singing with all our hearts (even though we don't know the lyrics) AND IT WAS LIT!!! Mathilda was also almost-crying as the one singing was her crush last year, and she thought she would never see him again (he graduated last year).

I got SO SAD when they told me I missed Liam's band. He is an AMAZING drummer, and he can also play any other instrument (except classical ones), I admit I'm a little bit jealous of him. Who am I kidding, REALLY JEALOUS. HE'S AWESOME MAN. I am noticing I am using MUCH capital letters and "MAN" and stuff. I'll stop. WHO AM I KIDDING I LOVE CAPITAL LETTER MAN.

Well, the hours passed and Gale STILL DIDN'T PLAY. They announced the last band... At it wasn't Gale's. I could see the happiness drain on Sally's face, and surprisingly, I got sad too. I have to recognise I was looking forward to watch him too, he's good at the bass.

It was 10:00 p.m. approximately at people started leaving. My mom told me to have fun when the shift started, so I didn't go to it and she did (P.S: LOVE U MOM <3). Sally, Clara, Taylor, Hanna and Sarah stayed late, Em and Molly didn't go to the fair when I did at all. It was 10:30 p.m. and all my friends left. I was with my mom helping with the last things... Bored as fuck. The populars were talking and laughing a few meters away from us and I just couldn't stop thinking they talked about me (call me paranoid). BUT I WAS SAVED! Liam was still walking around (his mom organizes most school stuff), and he was doing a box flip challenge, ridiculous but funny. We talked and drew faces in the sides of the box to use it and it was pretty fun. The fun got even BIGGER when I had the great idea to do the chair flip challenge, which I slayed and he failed (BOOM TAKE THAT). We got some shouts from the janitor so we stopped, but the fun started again when WE FOUND AN ENORMOUS BALL and started kicking it around, which I failed and he slayed (I'M SO JEALOUS), in my defense, he plays soccer every day because my school teaches girls hockey and volleyball and boys football and soccer (ironic cause in every other country soccer is called football).

MAN I HAD A GREAT TIME.
I think I like Liam more now.

P.S: I FREAKIN LOVE CAPITAL LETTER.
