        Stay calm. Stay calm. It's not like I haven't talked to other people on Facenovel before. Okay, too calm. TOO CALM.

        So I was doing what I do everyday and that is going on the computer all day. I checked up online for my local library on the volunteer opportunities for "Teens" and they had orientations for it (like seriously? Orientations on stacking books all day?) on the third Wednesday for every month, exlcuding July, August, and September.

        I was like "F***", 'cause it means that I have to wait like 2 more weeks before I could actually start volunteering there. Staying at home isn't fun, some of the time. What am I supposed to do here, besides writing these posts?

        Today I decided to take up that girl's in-direct offer to talk (as how she just liked 4 of my profile pictures at the speed of light right after I liked hers) and messaged her on Facenovel. Now I know this is going against my rule of talking to girls on Facenovel, but I reminded myself not to say stupid stuff.

        I get that feeling every time I'm going to press the "enter" button (or "send" button for you people on mobile). You know? That feeling like "I shouldn't have sent that" feeling. But I just reminded myself "Aww f*** it, whatever".

        She replied with "AYYYEE", in which I was like "Wasn't expecting that". She continued on with "are you going to *insert high school name here*?" I knew what she meant by this, seeing as how she's in (or was in) middle school. I didn't want to say "Yes" because I knew she'd think I meant going to as in enrolling in, as in becoming a freshman, so I just specified my answer with "Yeah, I'm going to be a Sophomore soon :D".

        I don't use "emoticons" often. Or "emoji's" as you people on mobile call it. Then she replied with "OH! Wow you are in high school. LOL I thought you were in middle school. Sorry" And I was just like *sigh*. You see what you done, Drew? But then I was like, Naw, I made the right decision.

        You see, if I had lied (or actually, to be unspecific to be exact), she would've been like "Oh, we should hang out when the school year begins" or something, I don't know. But I made the right decision of telling her straight up that I was 1, you see, 1 grade above her.

        If I had lied, things would go really weird when we're hanging out (if we'd hang out) and then I'd be like "Yeah, I'm a Sophomore" and she'd be like "ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE SAME GRADE AS ME". Then I'd be like "Naww, I've been a Sophomore the whole time". Then it'd all become a train wreck at the end.

        Well, there goes another chance, Drew. Why? First (well, recently), a girl I might've had a chance with ("Oh, who are you kidding, Drew?" "Shut up conscience") is a grade above me. Now a girl who thought I looked kinda attractive is a grade lower than me. Why am I stuck in this perpetual portal or missed opportunities?

        I messaged her after how maybe I could show her around campus or whatever when she's at the school, but she hasn't even seen my message ('cause there's no "Seen by" thing appearing yet) and she's like, offline.

        Well Drew, you lose some, and you lose some. And whenever you think you'll win some, you actually lose some. Anyways, fun story to tell. I'll see you tomorrow.
