First of, thanks all for giving me such wonderful blogging ideas. Every single one of you who replied was extremely helpful. (If you're one of those who replied, you're well aware that I'm being sarcastic; if you didn't, well now you know :P) No matter, I've something to write about for this week. If you like me being a goody-two-shoes, don't read this...but you should comment anyway :D
On Monday of this week, I was walking home from school with Zoya (:O new people's names!) as per usual: we live near each other, so we walk together to and from school when we don't have other things to do, which we usually don't after school because she's never had a life and I don't have one here :( But then we ran into a more...fun...friend of ours, Fernanda. Fernanda didn't have anything to do, so she walked with us and invited herself over to my house for dinner and stuff. We hung out for a while, but then after a while her dad called her and told her that he'd pick her up soon, so we gave him my address and went outside to wait. So here we are, sitting outside an apartment building...people are looking at us like we're idiots...and her dad isn't coming...and it's been a half hour...and he hasn't come...and it's been an hour.... After a while he called, actually. He asked for the address again, decided the street didn't sound familiar, and then decided that he'd spent long enough looking for Fernanda and that she could just make her way home on her own.
Well, see...she sort of lives across the city, so that's a bit of a problem. Fernanda wanted me to come with her and have a sleepover, but I'm not allowed to have any sort of party on weeknights and my mom got really pissed off when I asked, so that was a no...so then we decided to go see if Zoya would take her in for the night.
First off, Zoya didn't let us in for a longass time. ...I'm sorry? Are you a normal, human teenager? We tend to want to spend 24 hours a day with our friends, and she wouldn't let us in her house because if her mom came home, which she wouldn't for a while, she wouldn't like it. ...The fuck. And, I mean, I'd understand if she was doing homework or babysitting or something, but she was just on Youtube listening to music....Anyway, so finally she grudgingly let us in and let us have cookies and lemonade until her mom came home. Then she wouldn't let us leave. Actually, here, this is how it went:
Me: I have to go in 20 minutes.
Zoya: OK, my mom comes home in 25, I'm glad you're leaving before then so I don't have to explain about you being here. (She literally said that, except in Russian.)
*20 minutes later*
Me: g2g
Zoya: I am going to stand in front of this door and not let you go. Do you think you can just come to my house and then leave so I have to explain Fernanda's being here to my mom?
Me:...Dude. Not. Cool.
Olga (Zoya's mom): *comes in* Oh, Zoya!!! You have friends over!!!! I thought you said you weren't going to invite anyone over?
Zoya: Mom, make them leave.
Me: ...You weren't letting me go half a second ago.
Fernanda: My dad won't drive me home, can I stay here and have a sleepover with Zoya?
Olga: Yes, of course! In fact, I even told Zoya that she could have a sleepover today because her dad's gone on a business trip, but she told me she'd have a lot of homework...I'm so glad you can give my daughter a life now!
Zoya: Shut up, Mom.
Me: *scrams for door*
An hour or so later, Fernanda called me and told me that she and Zoya were going on a walk, so I came along and we went sliding on this rock slide on a nearby playground and we went on a swing set and Zoya...um...well, pole-danced on the thing kids are supposed to slide down and it was fun and yay, and on the way back we were joking about how Zoya finally has a life now and she was laughing at us and it was no big deal. Again, she was laughing about it, it wasn't a problem.
On Wednesday and Thursday, Fernanda had a sub for one of her classes, so we skipped together and dressed up and took hella pictures and stole cute jewelry and did tons of fun stuff like that. If you want to see the pictures for some reason, go stalk my Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/#!/love.peace.joy13 (but really, I'm not exactly eye candy >.> So you should really skip past the ones of me). (No, really, I'm serious. Ferny's gorgeous, I'm...bleh.) (No, I don't have bad self-esteem, I'm realistic.)
So yesterday, after we'd come back for the rest of our classes, Fernanda had English with Zoya and she was showing her the pictures and Zoya seemed kind of pissed off and then Fernanda showed her the essay she'd written - spent 3 hours writing, actually, because her English isn't all that great (she's lived in Ukraine for most of her life :P They speak Russian there) and it was about how we hung out on Monday...and then Zoya crossed it all out and crumpled it up and threw it away!!! WTF?????!!!!!!! I wouldn't even have believed it if Fernanda hadn't shown me....
And then today (Friday), we three plus Louisa were shopping and Zoya was like, "Um, so if you guys are going to shoplift, tell us so we (Louisa and Zoya) can leave because we don't want to be associated with you," which is reasonable enough, but like...I don't know, the
way she said it just sort of was like...disdainful, like "This girl is below me; I must speak with the commoner but I cannot be friends with her" type thing...:P
(Although it's good for her that she gave the warning, because hella stuff was stolen o.o It was all for Fernanda too...I need to teach her to shoplift so then I don't have to do it >.<)
And also, later I was talking to Fernanda and we both agreed that even though there were more people and stuff when we went today...it was still funner when it was just the two of us - I mean, Zoya wouldn't even let us take pics? And she seems kinda pissed at me...is it that I'm 'stealing' Fernanda or something? I mean, what's going on? If she's jealous of us hanging out, she can just come along...it's not like we don't invite her to come with...and it's not like we're pressuring her to do bad stuff either....
And about the 'stealing friends' thing, I mean...it's not like I'm only letting Fernanda talk to me, we just have more fun together! And, I mean...they've known each other since 8th grade and Fernanda's told me stuff she hasn't told Zoya o.o Like her lifelong dream? We were discussing it and then she was like, "I haven't even told Zoya, can you not tell her? She'd laugh,"and the thing is, she would!
And actually, this whole thing would be hella easier if we just sort of broke up with Zoya, but I can't really do that because then her only friend would be Louisa...well, sort of Leneya, but not really...she sometimes hangs out with us.
So yeah, advice, similar stories, anything would be appreciated. :P
