Over Spring Break, I had a lot of fun. I went out a lot, partied with my friends, and barely slept in my own bed. At the same time, I learned a few valuable lessons…
I learned a few lessons one night when I hung out with my good friends from Lacey. Not only are they awesome friends to be around, but we can always think of something crazy and fun to do when we are together. So when a random Wednesday night came, my friends Amanda, Alyssa, and myself all went to our friend Tyler’s house. We had an awesome time, just playing card games and hanging out. Tyler’s friends (who we will call “Creepy Kid” and “Cute Kid”) were new to our crew, but all the same they seemed like nice guys. Little did I know that I had a situation on my hands. It was getting late now, and Alyssa got a call from her ex-boyfriend, so she left to go see him. Unfortunately, Cute Kid also had to leave, so he walked out and it was just Amanda, Tyler, Creepy Kid, and me. Amanda and I decided we were tired and we wanted to sleep, so we went into Tyler’s room and slept on his futon. The boys came in a little after us, but Amanda and I had made it clear that we were sleeping alone. Creepy Kid seemed to have a huge problem with that. He was annoying, he kept trying to awkwardly cuddle with me, and he had bad breath, so I got up and went to sleep on the couch in the living room. I was right on the edge of sleep when Creepy Kid comes strutting out of Tyler’s room. I reacted on impulse and pretended I was sleeping, just like I used to do whenever my mom would walk in my room as a kid. He shook me awake (ugh) and whispered in my ear that he was leaving so I could go back in Tyler’s room, and he was sorry he was annoying. Problem solved! I thought to myself. Boy, was I wrong. Right when I thought things were okay and I was not being obliged to cuddle with this stranger anymore, he creepily slipped onto the couch next to me. This was really starting to piss me off now. I don’t even know you, yet you are going to try to lay with me? I don’t think so, pal. After continuously shrugging him off, I was starting to think I had to freak out on him so that he would leave me alone. Miraculously, Amanda walked out of Tyler’s room and I jumped up and went straight to her. I quickly whispered to her the situation that was taking place, and she immediately grabbed me and pulled me into Tyler’s room. We got our things, and she announced that we were leaving “because of the creepy kid.” I got my keys, and we practically ran for the door. After that, I learned that you should never do things you aren’t comfortable doing. If I laid on the couch with that strange kid any longer, I might have started to cry or freak out or God knows what. It also taught me that friends can sometimes act as saviors. That night, Amanda saved me. And I am thankful, and I hope I never get put in that spot again.
