Dear Diary,
Things have been going great. Really, they have. And if you believe me when I say that, you don't know me well enough. First of all, once I realized my feelings towards Eric, he had to get a stupid girlfriend. Of course it's Wendy. He hasn't actually told me himself, but Louisa told me and she's friends with Wendy so I consider her a good source of information. I think he assumes I know about Wendy, because during Geography that's all he could talk about. Oh yes, did you hear her sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow? Isn't she fantastic? Isn't she the best? Isn't her voice just wonderful? At least he had the courtesy to notice I was in a bad mood. My grumpy face interrupted his report on Wendy for a moment. "What's wrong Pidge?" I could hardly look him in the face, but I forced myself to. He looked half worried and half joyful, I assume about Wendy. It was an amusing look on him.
"Nothing." I smiled halfheartedly. Then, realizing how selfish I was being, I smiled wider. "Nothing at all."
"Oh, okay. You looked sad." He leaned over and drew a smiley face on my paper. "Don't be sad!" I couldn't help smiling even wider- a real smile this time. He then returned to talking about Wendy. My smile faded, naturally. I don't even think she's that great- of course, I'm biased so don't listen to me. But I still feel like there's something off, something...fake? Louisa seems to have nothing bad to say, so I guess I should ignore it. Louisa usually has something to say about the people she dislikes. It's actually quite amusing, to see a quiet girl everyone seems to adore throwing insults left and right. She only ever tells me these things, though. To everyone else she's the innocent little church girl. It's kind of weird how everyone treats her like that.
Lunch has been weird with Xavier ever since that thing happened (I really don't want to think about it. It's almost as bad as the Jordan thing). I mean, of course I've been helping him with his project but at least there's other people there. And even then, he talks to me as little as possible. Which is good, because if he ever mentioned it I would die. Speaking of crushes and embarrassment, I still haven't told anyone except Margie about Eric. Louisa's friends with him so...I don't know, it would be weird. Plus, he apparently had a crush on her last year. Louisa was the only one who told me about this so I don't know how true it is (I don't think he ever outright stated it). He's compulsively nice to everyone so I think his actions could be easily misinterpreted. Maybe she was wrong.
In other news, rehearsals have been going great! I mean, I've been getting really behind in schoolwork (especially that darn math class- I knew it was a bad idea) but honestly I think it's worth it. I've actually been getting pretty close to Jadyn and Abrielle. And I also found out that Huck is in my gym class so we've been sort of hanging out there. He's nice too, in a strange sort of way. He sort of reminds me of a robot. In a good way, I swear. He also keeps us entertained during the somewhat tedious blocking sessions with Marilyn. He must have a bone to pick with her or something because he always talks back to her and Mrs. King. It's amusing because Marilyn is very intimidating when she want to be and Huck must be very courageous because she is downright terrifying when people talk back to her.
Anyways, I have to back onstage and dance the Jitterbug.
See ya,
Pidge Parson
