5th period, me and Michelle did practically nothing. We got to take a box up to Excelsior. Meaning we had to walk outside. It was really cold but fun. It was quite refreshing.

But I'm not here to talk about 5th period.
6th period. The dreadful Japanese final. I've been dreading this. I made a bunch of notes (because apparently we could make some), but it wasn't enough. I wrote down words I didn't know the translation of, planning on asking Caitlin or something, but I never got around to that. I need to write more... um... sentence endings? We get to finish on Monday. Japanese is the only final that always takes more than one day.

So.... I walked it and it was super quiet. People were in odd seats, it seemed. I sat behind Keifer (in Bryan's seat), instead of my usual seat behind Logan... because behind that seat was Nathan... Umm... sitting between two really big guys isn't appealing to me. It would feel so fucking claustrophobic.
Bryan eventually sat behind me.
The test was long, dreadful... tedious. I mostly worked on the matching... which is HARD, considering that there was 2 groups of over 90 words. It was difficult to find anything. So I easily spent an hour on just that.

Anyway, at the end, Bryan said something about it being all my fault. So I nodded. Then he kinda slapped me on the back saying "I'm just kidding." THEN all of a sudden, both of his hands are tickling my sides, so I'm jumping in my seat, wriggling around, trying not to make a commotion or attract too much attention. When he let me go, I turned around to look at his smiling face and say "That was uncalled for." It was a really freakin lame response, I admit, but I couldn't think of anything else.
Then, we turn in our stuff, and I was standing by my stuff. Bryan sits on Keifer's desk, facing me, and he talks briefly about how he can never remember this stuff. And then he was guessing everything, which he always manages to do on tests that we get an extra day for. I should've told him that we could have notes, and I regret not telling him.
Then as he got off the desk, he told me to have a good weekend. Never heard him say that before... like he cared. I was shocked for a second before I said "You too."


We eventually got down to the commons for lunch.
I saw Donut. Which surprised me, because I never saw him at lunch these last two days.
Then I had to decide what group I wanted to go with. So I kinda lost track of Steph, Sarah, and Michelle. But I knew where they were going. I met Nick on the way, and I said how I couldn't figure out a way to get where I wanted. Somehow, I got close to Donut. "Hi." I waved. "They went that way," he said, pointing. I poked him, before continuing. I also poked Chris, Alex's little brother... the red head, as I went, without looking back.

So... why the hell does Sarah hardly spend any time with Donut? Do they just not have common friends or something? I see them apart from each other far more than together. But when they are together, there is some form of physical contact.

Donut also saw me jumping later. I was trying to look at the line at the Counseling Center, and he and the peeps he was talking to (which included Emily, Chism, Chris) just happened to be... right in the line of sight.
It must've looked really weird to see me jumping up and down, trying to see.


Later, on the bus. Orion said "Can I make a confession?" I instantly knew this was bad. Hesitantly (to not seem like a bad friend), I said yes. "I like you."
"Like like?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." I thought about explaining why I thanked him, but I realized it would sound kinda odd... When someone likes me... it kinda raises my self-esteem. Like... 'Hey! I'm likable!'
Half a mile later "So... are we going to go out or something?"
I kinda laughed at the awkwardness of the whole thing. "No. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."
Then he said how after a dozen times, he's used to it.
I assured him that we would still be friends.
I think I'm getting used to the turning down someone and still being friends thing. It's usually really awkward on my part. Yes, I won't talk to him as much for... a week or so. But that's kinda expected.
And it's not like Orion is a Preston. I can't stand Preston as a person, but I can stand Orion as a friend.

...Why is it that I attract the same type of guys? Orion, Oliver, Kevin... They all are quite similiar when you think about it.
