Macy's Diary: Tales From a Not-So Dramatic Reality

3. Lunch Room Catastrophe

I've never been this unlucky in my life! I'm talking:

EMBARRASSMENT...

MORTIFICATION...

ABASEMENT...

And complete and utter HUMILIATION!! It all started at the beginning of lunch. We were having probably the most dreadful entree that any human being has ever witnessed. Tuna Black Bean Ketchup Something-Else-But-I-Forgot! The smell of it nearly made to puke up whatever was in your stomach. 

But that's not why I'm upset. I was sitting with Riley, Raven, Kelly, and a couple of other friends. I overheard some girls talking about how they would totally ship JoKenna. What the heck is JoKenna? All of us kept talking about what type of uniforms we should where for dance team championship when..wait for it..Josh came up to our table! Squeee! 

"Hey, Macy," he beamed while I just stare at him in amazement. Even my friends looked at me in excited expressions.

"Hi, Josh! What's up?" I asked awkardly.

"I just wanted to ask you if..." a piercing shriek interrupted him and my heartbeat. (Figuratively, then I would be dead by now.)

"Josh!!! Josh!!! I've been looking for you, like, everywhere," the blond banshee weaseled her through the cafeteria towards a disgruntled Josh. 

"You were suppose to be waiting for me at my locker. As a boyfriend, you should responsible to remember everything I say to you. AND you promised you would by me a milkshake. Preferably chocolate!" She nagged. No...

McKenna and Josh are dating?! My heart collapsed and disintegrated into powder. No wonder why everyone was saying JoKenna!!!! What an ugly ship name!

"Okay, baby. I'll be right there," BABY???!! We're only freaking 13 for Christ's sake. He turns to me and gives me a crooked smile, possibly telling me that he didn't want me to hear that.

"As I said, I wanted to tell you if we could meet up at the library afterschool on Thursday? T-To discuss the english poem, of course..." he stammered as he saw McKenna give him the evil eye.

Okay, I'm so confused. His evil girlfriend who has been my enemy my whole life is trying to rub him in my face and he has the nerve to act all nervous and flirtatious. Like WHO does that?

Now I'm more desperate then ever. Should I stick with Josh or move on? But if I move on, there will be no one left that I like. Then I'll be alone forever! Maybe I should ask mom...Nah! I'll ask Dad. He would understand. Tomorrow!
