I just wanted to talk about some of my personal problems, and I thought it would be better to say it to a mostly anonymous crowd, than to post on facebook or talk with my friends.
So as the title states, I've been having some bad luck. Mostly in the way that something good will happen to me, and then something happens that completely ruins the point of the good thing happening. This has been going on for a few weeks now, and has put me in a dull moment right now. Im probably gonna feel the same way this whole weekend. I will divide this into parts to save your eyes. I will also use fake names to point certain people out.
PART 1: Basic overview of the past few months
Over the last few months things have gone from a high point to a low point. In February I started track and field, and decided to try out for shot put and discus. I tried shot put before, and decided to do it again for my freshman year. I only weighed about 160 pounds, and didn't have a lot of muscle. Before track I did cross country, and had gotten injured, so I couldn't competitively run in track either. For the first few practices, we did some basic drills that had to do with a short run and some jumping stuff like hurdles. I was able to do the run with ease, and could jump really well. Then came the throwing, and the shot puts were 4 pounds heavier that middle school. The first day of throwing wasnt too bad, and got a good form down. A few weeks pass and my first track meet comes up, and I end up making varsity for both shot put and discus (Surprised me, because the other guys that threw were twice my size.) I tell my dad about how good I was doing, and said I should start putting on some muscle. I start working out for the next few months, and gain a lot more muscle and finish off the season with my spot on varsity.
At this point I'm feeling good. I gained muscle, I have something to show for, and I feel a lot more better about myself. I talked to a lot more people that were also in track, so I also made a lot more friends. Now for part 2.
PART 2: Slowly going down
After my season ended, I continued to work out, and my P.E. class had also started. This kept me in shape, and was better than sitting in health class. I ran really good mile times for not running in a while (Below 6 minutes) For the next 2 weeks I'm enjoying my life, and feeling great. Around the 15th is when it gets bad. During cross country I had a groin injury that put me out for the season. Apparently I had not fully healed, and when I was doing some sprints I had to stop because of my injury. My dad said to give a months rest, so I cant do any sports or running until then. This kinda puts me down and makes me feel bad because I love doing sports.
Know this is where I go from slowly going down to an all time low point within a week.
PART 3: The drop (Lol dubstep)
At this point I have been sitting around on my computer doing nothing except a few workouts each week with weights. I can't do anything else other than that. I go to Portland to see my favorite MLS team play against chicago, and got some awesome stuff their. I miss one day of school and come back on the 22nd. This is where it starts. On monday was a review for a algebra test, and tuesday was the test and I totally forgot about it. I surprisingly pass with a B. During lunch I talk to my friend (Lets call her LaFawnda) about this girl I like (Lets call her Shawty) I show LaFawnda who Shawty is and she says "Aww" (Usual girl stuff) After lunch we kinda talk about stuff until the bell rings. As Im talking to LaFawnda, she says "Hey the girl you like is over there" I tell her to not stare because she will notice, but then she says "Wait shes looking at you" I don't turn around. Then she says "I think she likes you" I start feeling better at this point until the next day.
The next day, which is the 23rd, ends up being a bad day. I go through my day as usual, and LaFawnda isnt their. At the end of the day, I decide to stay after school to talk to some friends. I grab my guitar from my guitar class to entertain them while we talk. I see the girl I like sitting down talking to a few of her friends. I continue to play hoping she notices. I stop playing after a bit because I got a bit bored. My friend (Who we will call Kanye) gets up and walks over to Shawty. I walk over there too after a while with another one of my friends. Kanye is talking to Shawty about some stuff, so I start playing guitar over there for a while for my friends. Kanye says I'm playing pretty good, but Shawty is paying no attention what so ever. After a few minutes Shawty gets up and Kanye talks to her for a bit. I wasn't paying attention, but then I notice Kanye gets Shawty's number. After she leaves, Kanye says "See that girl, I like her." This moment I feel like killing someone. I somehow keep my cool and say "Well if you need help like romantic music, I can help you out." Kanye is one of my closest friends, and he hasn't had a girlfriend in a long time, so I decided not to tell him about my feelings for her.
This now brings me to us to the 24th, yesterday where I live. This day I decide to just get Shawty out of my mind. I look forward and don't let a girl get between me and my friend. After school I head home and have nothing to do. My friend (Lets call him Stephan) texts me and says that spring fest is going on. Spring fest is basicly a carnival/fair type thing that lasts about 4 days. It had just opened up and he said for me to head down their. I tell my mom about it, and she says I can go, but that I can't buy another wrist band this weekend. I say thats ok, and she gives me 40 dollars to take their. I meet up with my friend Stephan and we walk over to buy a wristband for rides. He said its buddy night, so I could get another one for a friend for the same price, but he already had one, so we walked around to find someone we knew so we could ride with someone else. As we walk around, I see one of Shawty's friends (I will call her Shanique) that I used to like a while ago, and i ask her if she wants to get a wristband with me. We both get one, and ride a few rides together. She said she had to go find her dad, and asked for my number. I give her my number, and she says she will text me later. Heres where my bad luck kicks in again. Me and Stephan ride this one ride called "Starship 2000" that spins really loving fast. I put my phone in my pocket and try to secure it the best I can. In the middle of the ride, my phone slips out of my pocket and lands behind the seat. I can't reach back there, so I go to the main office and give my phones main info. They said they would call my mom when they find it. After that I needed to get a ride back to my house, find Shanique and tell her the news, and try to do something about my phone. I find Shanique and tell her about my phone (Kinda embarassing, but oh well) I then call my mom on Stephans phone and asked to get picked up. I tell my mom about my phone and says I will have to wait to see if they call, or wait to get a new phone.
This is where it ruins my weekend. Ill divide this to part 4.
PART 4: Well forget
When I was at the spring fest, I told Shanique I would also come the next day, which is today. When I wake up, I ask my mom if I could go to spring fest to hang out with a few of my friends for a few hours after school. She says no because I dont have a phone, I dont argue because I never argue with my parents, and because it was reasonable. After school I see Kanye and my friend LaFawnda. I ask LaFawnda why she was gone, and she said she ran away from home because her dad got in a fight with her. I facepalm here, and we walk around the school with Kanye. She then pulls out a pack of cigarettes when we are outside of the school limits, and she says "Is it ok if I smoke?" This is something new, she never smokes or did anything like this. I tell her of course I do, and she puts it away. Me and Kanye then ask her why she does it. She says it relaxes her, and we call her stupid (Like always) and say that she is gonna end up old and have lung cancer if she keeps doing it. Later Kanye and LaFawnda say they were gonna go to spring fest and ask if I could go. I say I can't and walk home. This brings me to right now. Right now i've been bored out of my mind doing nothing on my computer but look around the forums and watch youtube videos. I can't go play any sports with my brother, and I can't go anywhere without my phone. I'm kinda feeling a bit heartbroken and left out because I can't hang out with my friends this weekend, and I can't see Shanique until tuesday.
Well thats about it, I might have left out a few things, but I feel a bit better for atleast telling people about this.
