Day 36 - Bobby

Megan's cool boyfriend I mentioned in the last post? That's Bobby. Bobby was freakin' hilarious and had adorable dimples. He and Megan were like "the" couple in my eyes. Bobby and I never fell into an easy friendship. It was clear when we were in the same group, it was because of Megan, and that was okay.

Megan and I would get to school sort of early and head to the band hall where most of our friends hung out before class. Megan sat around with Bobby, his friends, Matt, Doughty and Justin, and her friend Renee. Some mornings I'd sit with them and they were always laughing and goofing around. It was fun; they were fun.

After a several weeks, it was suggested in a teasing way that I should be careful who I hung out with, because some people just weren't cool. They were referring to Justin's crowd and it annoyed me. I stood up for them in a calculated way. I wanted to be friends with everybody (at least everybody who was fun and nice to me) so I didn't make waves.

Sometimes, I wish I had made waves.
