Johnny's 9th Grade Journal


Daily Thought

 I love the first 5 minutes of the Tritones because they have little to nothing to do with the overall plot yet what happens in the beginning is usually responsible for the rest of the story. Example...

Booyah, y'alls!  I decided to post this entry of my journal that we had to do for my 9th grade English class... Today's excerpts involve the ever-memorable Rachel (as in Andrea's sister, Rachel... maybe Rachael?)...

 The 8th Day of February, 1999

On Thursday (the 4th), I asked Rachel to the dance, but just barely.  I didn't want to just pop the question;  I wanted it to come out like it was part of a conversation.  Since I didn't talk to her after school, I decided to postpone the question until the next day.  Of course, Andrea wouldn't let me go without asking Rachel, so my plan was "destroyed."  Andrea gave me "the look" and Rachel knew what she meant.  Then, as I went to my locker (this all occurred after school), Rachel asked if Andrea was trying to make me ask her (Rachel) to the dance.

"Yeah," I replied.
"Well, I'm going to the dance," she said.
"Wellll... would you like to go w/me?" I asked.
"It's alright, I'm going to the dance anyway," she replied.
"Well, I'm asking you. Would you like to go w/me?" I fired back.
"I'll think about it," she said softly.
"What?"
"I'll think about it."
"Uh, well, don't rush your decision."

Those weren't the exact words, but it's pretty close.  So, just like *that*, and "Smooth 'N' Cool" Jonathan asked the lovely Rachel to the dance...

She still hasn't given me an answer.  If she says yes, then I might take the next step and ask her out...

If she says no, then I won't mind;  as long as she's at the dance (w/nobody else), then I'm happy.  I'll still be able to dance w/her.

I think I'm going to buy Rachel a carnation...

The 19th Day of February, 1999

I arrived there at 7:30 PM (I had trouble w/my tie!)... Oh yeah, Rachel didn't go w/me.  She said she'd rather go w/her friends...

The dance was fun. I danced with Sally and Andrea. Of course I started dancing at 9:00 PM. How time flies....

.....

Rachel rejected me after I asked her for a dance (on the last song). She said she didn't know how to dance."

I felt somewhat hurt that Rachel & I didn't dance, but all that pain was gone after what happened on... the 13th day of February, 1999...

   

 

Notes:  I usually write in block text, but you might think I'm yelling, and I'm not a fan of any yelling... Feb. 19th is the first time I mentioned Sally... February 13th involved Bridget, more on this another day perhaps...  Peace out, y'alls, yo...
