Maybe, Might Be?


So I know it has been quite a while since I’ve posted on here, but the theme still stands: Every time I think it’s all said and done, something happens to start the ball rolling again. Every time. Without fail.

And it’s really starting to get on my nerves, man.

So…For the first couple of weeks of school, I have to admit that my (as much as I hate to say this word) romantic focus was elsewhere. Or otherwise not on Bowser. I was shutting him out and I know he’d finally caught on.

But I broke my own rule and texted him. Not to have a conversation, but I gave him my tennis schedule for the week, as  I had been doing with my friend Paxton. It had become habit, so I didn’t think that it was going to turn into anything, but of course it did.

But nothing really caught my attention until today. Then I started putting two and two together. I’ve been catching him looking at me more than once in a single sitting. I’ve made some changes to me wardrobe and he was sure to notice, but geez.

So, today….Today…Lemme backtrack a little.

The past couple of days, we’ve been having some serious car trouble, and I’d been talking to him about it to see if maybe he could help figure out the problem. Y’see, I had no idea he even liked cars at all, let alone the amount of knowledge he actually possesses. I go to him for a lot of car and computer questions. He just always seemed to have an answer.

But that got us sort of talking again. Sorta.

But today, I needed to get PhotoShop put onto my laptop, and when I got up to third floor, he was the only one there. My Tennis team has been selling these obnoxiously sized boxes of candy in order to fundraise for our uniforms. (I actually made Varsity, by some miracle) So I set the box next to him and asked him to watch it.

I was starting to walk away when I decided to make a joke, I don’t know why, but I’m glad I did.  I said, “You don’t have to watch it intensely, but make sure it doesn’t walk away.” As soon as I looked at him, before I spoke, I saw him smile.

He smiled. He actually smiled. Does this mean what I think it does?

Anyways, when I got back upstairs, my box was nowhere to be seen. So I asked him where it went and he said it ran away. He said he looked away for two seconds and it got up and left. But then I saw it behind him. I told him he was a bad babysitter.

Then he started doing something he hasn’t done since we were partners in Kauffman. He started showing me funny pictures. But, being the buzzkill she is, Carter jumped in. I was basically pinned against the wall between Bowser and another desk because she was standing so close to him, therefore me. At the time, Bowser had been looking for a specific picture to show me, but I just kind of slipped away, like I usually do. I can tell when I’m not wanted. So I left. No goodbyes no forewarning, just left.

That’s kind of become my thing nowadays, hiding in the background and slipping out before anyone even notices that I was there at all.

Anyways, later on, I was leaving IBH History and headed to IBH Art. I was talking to Evan about a bet Paxton had made with Sherlock that he couldn’t argue about anything the rest of the week. We’re horrible people, we know, we don’t care. But as we were walking, I saw Ronnie coming the opposite direction. I only saw him. I did, eventually see Bowser, but not until two seconds before he squeezed my shoulder and kept walking.

He squeezed my shoulder. Why? Does that mean what I think it means?

I don’t know what to think of those two little things. To most people, they’d be insignificant. They wouldn’t mean anything. But you’d have to know the whole story to understand why that means so much.

I think he’s starting to like me again. As bad as that is, I’m getting my Best Friend back. And I’d thought that ship has sailed. But I’m learning a lesson that’s been staring me in the face.

It’s never over for Jinx and Sir Dipshit the Second. There will always be a sequel.

Here we go again, people. Get ready for the ride.

New Year, New Show

So...I spent the last year of my life indulging in my analytical side on a relationship that has plagued apparently a lot more people than I thought were involved...

School starts again in three days. I'm dreading it. I don't want to see Bowser, honestly. But I can't avoid him forever. I can just avoid him during the day. :D i did actually stick to my guns of not talking to him after one relapse. I got a new phone and stuck even more to my guns by not adding him to my phone. But he asked me for help and after a little banter, I agreed to help him.

I hope you're all proud of what I've decided to do.....................

Nothing.

Lol I'll be friends with him and everything. But I'm not talking to him first anymore. I'm tired of being the one to make the first move. It's his turn to make a little effort.

Besides, there's kind of someone else in the picture....I'm going to refer to him as...Cobain. Fits with a codename thing I have. Cobain may very well end up a major character in this sequel.

But back to the point. I'll be friends with Bowser. Help him if he needs it. Whatever. Other than that, I don't plan to talk to him. I'm going to avoid him in the halls as much as possible. Whatever. After High School gets out. I don't have to see or talk to him ever again.

And I won't. Once we graduate, that's it. We'll leave on a good note, and eventually he'll do what he always does: Stop trying. I don't know how long that'll take. A year, I'd guess. But it'll happen. He'll meet someone else, be busy with college, work, whatever. I won't be in the picture anymore. It's normal to lose friends from High School forever. I don't expect him to be any different. But we'll burn that bridge when we get there.

This story starts off with a bet. Between the famous Sherlock and I. He's gotten so invested in this story, I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to continue it if he could. And do he's apparently going to try.

Here's his plan:

Phase One: (June-August) Tell Cobain. who his "secret admirer" is. Get the flirting started between you two(Which he'll probably do anyway), and then let Nature take its course. I probably won't be interfering in you two's affairs, because not only would that make Cobain suspicious, but also, I never like to meddle in that stuff unless asked.
 
Phase Two (August): Make Bowser aware of the relationship, and gain his intake on it. For obvious reasons, I can't ask him about it, nor can I have someone else ask about it. I'll drop little suggestions & hints along the way. See where his head's at. Then, I'll take the steps necessary to push his inevitable jealousy towards action.
 
Phase Three (September): I'll need to get the three of you around one another. Be it through Theatre, Forensics, Tennis, whatever. Just together. Bowser will see you & Cobain together, his jealousy will be fueled even more, and naturally, he'll want to reassure himself of his importance in your life.
 
Phase Four (September-October): *Hopefully* the first three Phases will have happened before Homecoming. If so, then I'll simply make sure you three are going to Homecoming. At Homecoming, I'll likely have someone assigned to keep you three around one another, since I'm not going. At the very least, they'll keep you on Bowser's mind. He won't be able to focus, and you'll be all he thinks about. If you go to hangout afterwards, like most people do, then I'll let the thoughts of you swim in his head for the night, and let them grow.
 
Phase Five (November-December): At this final phase, I'm stepping into the plan, and will attempt to drive the plan home. I can't get into details much, as revealing them would take away the effectiveness of it, but I can say this much. I'm going to use his intense hatred/disliking of me, and use it to bring you two closer. Then BAM. The Big K.

We've bet that if he can accomplish this by January 1st, 2013, then I can never tell him he's wrong ever again. Unless he's painfully and actually wrong. Anything debatable is defaulted in his hand.

If he can't. I get to torture him with fairy, flowery, girly nicknames for as long I remember to do so.

So let's see where this goes. The show begins on Monday. :) Leggo!
