Wah! Haven't posted in ages! But yeah, this post is going to be all about Chris (I hope you don't mind me broadcasting it Chris)
When I came back from TW, on some Sundays I went out with Liv and Chris to hang out in the city. The first time I saw him was the Saturday before Valentines ~ he gave us (me, Liv, Alison) all a rose!
Sidetrack: Chris and Alison has been dating for about a year or so, but towards the end Alison was treating him pretty badly. Then she dumped him coz she said she was getting bored of it all, and found it too stressing to have a boyfriend. Btw, everyone in the group hates her now.
Back to the main story: Coz in TW, i was surrounded by 20-odd guys, 10 of which I could constantly hug, and since I go go to an all girls' school in Aus, I naturally missed having a guy to hug (and play with his hair) so I was much more huggy when I saw Chris, especially since now he was single, and I didn't have Alison breathing down my neck if I was more than a foot near him. We played pool together, it was pretty fun.
The second time we went out was just me, Liv and Chris. Oh yeah, J&J temporarily. That's when I thought Chris was acting a little strange. I didn't know if it was coz he was single now, or if he did it all the time, but I just thought Chris was hugging and kissing (forehead/cheeks) me a whole lot more than usual. When we were in Replay, Liv was on ParaPara, and we were watching her, Chris on the left and me on the right. I wasn't even looking at him, then he randomly walked over and hugged me from behind. I thought it was a little weird, but I generally didn't really mind. What freaked me out (well, not really) was the way he looked at me. Sometimes Chris would hug me, and just look at me, and it would be really intense. I told Olivia about it, but she just said he was like that.
Then last Sunday, I wanted to go out to the city again to meet Liv and Chris again, on the pretence of needing to buy something (I actually needed to anyway). That morning, my mum was being a total ****. At first she said "clean your room before you can go out." Well, my room was trashed, since I came back from TW 6 weeks ago, so I obediently cleaned up my room. She came in and said, "the shelves are really dusty, vacuum it - and while you're at it, vauum the rest of the house as well." Okay, I admit, I hadn't vacuumed my shelves since probably 2 years ago, due to my many Pokemon (yes I still do like Pokemon) figurines on it, and I didn't want to accidently vacuum it. But it really was dusty, so I vacuumed it and the house. Then she comes in and says, "those packs of cards there, put it in a box or something." I started getting pissed, it was obvious she was stalling. There wouldn't have been space to put a box, so i just shoved all my cards (I have 32 packs now XP) in my wardrobe. Then she says, "put that box somewhere else, it's taking up space." (I have a box next to my bookshelf filled with stuff) I need to use stuff from that box, and I really couldn't be stuffed getting a chair and getting it off my bookshelf and putting it back again all the time, and it wasn't taking up space, so I said "NO, I need stuff there, I'm not moving it!" Then she says, "I'm your mum, this is my house, now move it!" I got really pissed, and chucked the box up. Then to my fury, she comes in and says, "tidy up your desk." Man, what the hell was wrong with her!! I couldn't take it anymore so I grabbed my bag and said, "I'm not doing anymore, I'm leaving now" Then she says, "wait a while, I'm going to the city later, I'll drive you." To my experience, a while usually means half an hour or more, and I was already late meeting Liv, so I literally screamed at her "I'm going NOW! I'm taking the train!" Then I bolted outta the house.
Shit I was so scared. I ran all the way down to the train station without stopping. I met Liv and Chris at Replay. It was 3, but Jason said he was still at Sunnybank so we played ParaPara first. Then we went up to Lincraft to buy stuff for my embroidery. OMG, 4 spools of thread and one base cost me $32!!! (If you wanna see what picture I'm doing, http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/27819941/, Edelweiss by Areahandora)
Then we went back to Replay for J&J. Their friend Chuan came as well. We wanted to leave to go play pool, but Justin was leaving at 4 and wanted to play DDR, so we waited. We were about to go but Chuan was on Initial D. We waited until he was done then Ray turned up and wanted a game of DDR before he left. It was an hour before we could drag them outta Replay. But we finally there. Whew! Jason, Chuan and Ray were like pro players! Really cool.
Liv left at 5, so it was us left. I started getting really scared of going home, and my pool started getting worse. Chuan was really nice, he helped me with some shots. After another half an hour of pool, the guys decided to go back to Replay. Chris and I didn't care, since he was leaving at 6:30, we had another spare half hour. Chris needed to go to the ATM so we parted ways. Then I got hungry and we went to Hungry Jacks. Sat downstairs for the first time. Decorated like the 50s. Sorta weird. Anyways, neither of us felt like moving, so we sat for a while. Soon it was nearly time for Chris to get picked up, so we went to Replay, said bye, then I walked to Chris' pick-up point.
Since his mum always comes late, we walked really slowly. It was so cute, Chris held my hand while we were walking. But yeah, I was getting pretty scared since it was like dark already, and I'm meant to be home before sunset. We were standing around waiting, and Chris hugged me for a while. Mum called and I nearly freaked. "Karen, where are you now?" "Uh...the train station." "Which one?" "Uh...Central." "Ok, we'll talk when you get home." Hang up. Eeek! Chris offered for his mum to drive me home, it would be quicker that way. I said yes, but it was 6:45 and she still wasn't here, and when Chris called she wasn't picking up. After waiting for about 5 minutes, I got too scared and opted for the train instead of waiting. Before I left, Chris held me and actually kissed me on the lips. I don't think I treasured that moment enough, but the next 5 seconds to 5 minutes was running for my life to the train station, can't really blame me. (Btw, Chris' mum came half an hour late - she was watching a movie. Pretty glad I didn't wait around then.)
Mum's lecture was relatively short - only half an hour or so. Online I talked to Chris. He was serious about wanting to date me. Immediately my brain filled with all these reasons why it would be a bad idea to date him. - He just broke up with Alison not long ago - Alison would kill me if she knew - Is he going for 3rd best? - etcetcetc, I'm sure you get the point. Now after at least 3 nights of long, serious, deep consideration, and at least 3 days of confusion, indecision and distraction, I've finally reached my answer. I don't know if I'm making the right choice, or that if he'll be ok by it, and I hope to all things holy Alison won't know about it, but I hope it's for the better. Some people know of my decision, and some don't. But I'm telling Chris when I can see him face-to-face, and that would be next Sunday. I'll post it up then. Meanwhile...Chris was sooo cute/sweet in his msn. And since it's now 12am, I think I'll go to bed now.
