defend my heart

omigodomigodomigod! I thought.

"I hate you so much!" I screamed at Hope over the phone. Apparently she, Annie Megan, Piper, and Hunter went behind my back and set up a date with Anthony. They told me that, no, it's not a date; I know better; I'm not that stupid.

"No you don't," she responded laughing.

"So, maybe I don't, but I still want to kill you!" Hope laughed and then hung up the phone.

I was going to kill her.

"What did you do...." I said with an icy calmness that would make most people shudder, but not Chris. We had been friends for a while now and at this point, he just laughed.

This just made me angrier.

"I set up a date with you and Andy! That's what I did." My scowl deepened and he laughed harder. "You can thank me now!"

"Thank you!" Butterflies flapped around my stomach and thoughts raced around my head. I've never known the meaning of "stomach in a knot," until now. "Forget thanking you! I' m going to murder you!"

He gave a chuckle. "You can't murder me! If you did, you wouldn't have any friends left!"

Despite of myself, I laughed and gave into the joke. "Well, maybe that is true, but I'm still going to murder you!" I added a little force to the last part.

I was going to murder him.

Later that day, after I packed up all my books, I made my way to soccer practice. I went through the drills like a zombie. I had no focus what-so-ever. I couldn't stop worrying about the date. I knew I was going to make a fool out of myself- that was inevitable- but I would really like to not make a HUGE fool out of myself.

Life continued. I had to kick my brother out of my room, and, of course, I was blind to the fact that he filled my pillow with whipped cream.

I plopped down on my bed and took out my school books and began to do homework. Within 5 minutes I was scribbling in the margarine of my notebooks and tapping my foot and hand.

"This is pointless," I said to myself. Yes, i talk to myself. Don't judge.

I stuck my earbuds in and turned up the volume to full blast. I figure if I take my mind of school I'll be able to concentrate better later.

Also i was done with life.

I flopped onto my pillow and whipped cream flew everywhere. I just laid there staring at the ceiling.

Yep. I was done with life.

The "date" was in two days and I'm am freaking out! I was going to make a fool of myself and we'll become super awkward, but I'm crossing my fingers that I don't say or do something so stupid to a point that he hates me.

Oh well one can only hope.

// I'm sorry! I haven't updated in like forever! I had travel basketball picking up and that is like every other day and my teacher are convinced that I don't have a life outside of school.

Ok I don't but I still would rather waste my life away in front of a screen than do homework.

Anyway, I'll try to update more often, but I'm going to Michigan for a week and a half so sorry if I don't publish anything then.

Well, bye for now! (That was really cringy)
