Frie.n.d.s
Dear Journal,
I have never seen the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I just thought adding the period in between the letters would look cool. However, since I’m not trying to incur any type of copyright issues or whatever, I added the periods strategically. *Wink.
Anyway, after writing about my heartbreak situation, I walked to the cafeteria because, well, a girl’s gotta eat. I was teary on my way there and saw my friend Saul.
He called out to me and asked if I was doing good. I wanted to lie but, I couldn’t. My tears were almost falling out of my eyeballs. A few minutes later, we were sitting down and I was telling Saul everything.
I now think big buff guys are really good listeners because of Saul. I told him how ugly I thought I was, and how I wouldn’t bring anything to the table if I even got into a relationship. I mean, I’m not rich yet, I’m impulsive, and I don’t have many accomplishments. Saul squashed those thoughts and told me how insanely attractive I was. And not just physically, especially mentally. He said my personality was beautiful, and told me I was amazing for always complimenting people to help them have a good/better day.
He then took me to get burgers from Hi-Pointe, suggesting that the change of environment would make me feel better. He was right. We ate his favorite spicy burger and fought to pay for the other. He beat me to it because he used Apple Pay while I inserted my card.
Saul told me that I felt unwanted and out of place because most people my age here only did three things; party, smoke, and get into relationships because they were bored.
After he dropped me off at school, I started to wonder if I was looking for the wrong kind of love. Maybe friends are all I need in this phase of my life. What is called again? Ah yes, Platonic Love. I think that’s all the kind of love I need right now. That’s what the Universe is trying to tell me.
You know what? I’ll be fine. My friends are FREAKING amazing! And Will is a great guy to keep as a friend.
Following Emma’s advice, I called him and told him what was going on, and he apologized and said he didn’t know. It has been a little awkward but, we’ll be fine. I’m thinking about making him go thrift shopping with me. He’s my most stylish friend yet.
