Question Posted Wednesday October 24 2007, 8:50 pm
I think it's kind of funny how things happen sometimes. my friend, Julia, has a guy friend whom shes known forever. His name is Gerard. He is seriously cute, says Julia, but she doesnt want to date him, cuz she doesnt like him that way. she was trying to set us up, by asking me to go to haunted houses with her and him and being over on a day he was. well it turns out he lives far away, on the other side of the country. i havent even met him, and by Julia talking about him whenever im a round her, he sounds perfect. i know nobodys perfect. its just that he seems perfect for me. he likes a lot of the things i like. he doesnt really care what people think about him. hes really funny. and likes to make people smile (really sweet). so i was smitten from the first day that Julia started talking about him. I wanted so badly to see him and hopefully fall in love with me. I bought all sorts of beauty products, and a cute costume for the halloween party, where i was going to see him for the first time. the only problem with this is... my friends. none of them have boyfriends, and theyre all totally crushing on his description. i ask them all if theyre going to dance with him at the party, and they all say "Eh, maybe a little" very nonchalantly, but i see it in their eyes that they want him much more than that. My real competition is a girl named Heather. She is so pretty and i don't know... she just seems to get all the guys that I want. she just knows i want him and takes him immediately. she is the first girl in our class to have a real boyfriend, and she just happened to break up with him the week before the party, which was the only time we will get to see Gerard. i asked her if she was going to flirt with him, and she blushed and said, "i dunno!!!" is there any possible way that i can win him over during the party??? I cant let her steal another guy from me!!!
