Meet My Mate Monday

When we left off, there was a banquet that Luke had to go to that I was DYING to go to with him...

So I slyly told one of my friends to put a bug in his ear. This, however, backfired on me. She managed to tell him I wanted to go to the banquet. Just with his friend, and could he put in a good word for me with this friend. (Now at this point I could have just died...and brought my friend with me...). I kindly told her she was VERY WRONG and that Luke was the one I wanted to go with. Alas, it was too late. He asked the girl who lived across the hall from me, and if that wasnt enough, his friend took someone else, too. This all wouldnt have been quite so bad if the girl Luke took hadn't proceeded to tell me, when she got home from said banquet, how she thought that Luke liked her. Ugh!

Needless to say, I went against how my Momma raised me and gave up. This girl was very pretty, and I wouldnt have blamed Luke for going after her. He had no idea I though he was wonderful. I went on, rumpled in spirit but alive.

I have said before that we both ran in a rather large circle of friends, so when a bonfire to celebrate the end of the year was planned, there was no anticipation in regards to time with Luke. Fate, however, had other plans...
