Do you really... have the nerve? ;(

[Neocridders]

Well, for the last month or two, my friend and her best friend (who really doesn't like including me in anything, even though she does anyway) have been planning a Harry Potter night, where we go to see HP at midnight.

Well, actually, this was my idea. A while ago, this summer, I wanted to invite everyone who played mellophone to go see HP premiere in costume.

But my friend asked if she could bring her best friend, and of course I said yeah.

But this turned into their event. She made a facebook group, she invited loads of people, she switched the time from midnight on the premiere night to midnight the next day. (I, of course, objected. I'm not going to make my parents drive out after midnight to pick me up, especially if it's not the freaking premiere. So we decided 7:00)

Anyway, I was not angry at all. i was so excited about this HP thing. I love HP so so much, and I've been wanting to have a group go for ever.

Now, we basically say nothing about the HP for a week or two. I mean, every time I ask about it she'll say 'Don't worry, Savannah. You always worry about it. Stop worrying.'
But I wanted to know info. What time were we meeting? Were we preordering tickets? I mean, it would have been sold out if we didn't! What do we do? So I sent a text message to her, and she never did respond to it, that we needed to pre-order or we wouldn't get tickets.

So two days later, which was WEDNESDAY of THIS WEEK, she finally talked to me, and told me that we were pre-ordering tickets, so I'd better get $11 to her best friend pronto.

And I did. I had it the next day.

I'd been asking at lunch how this was going to happen. Were we meeting a minute before and walk in? Was she going to give us tickets before we walked in? Or how would we get our pre-ordered tickets if she was bringning them? We can't go inside and find her without a ticket to find the tickets. I mean, that's nonsense.


But I never did get an answer. If it was in person it would just be 'Stop worrying'
If it were text, it would be no reply. She hasn't replied to a single text message since who knows when.


So I told my mom she never told me when to get there, so my mom said a quarter to 7. So 6:45.

Well, I wait for my stupid sister to get ready for her dance class, because of COURSE she has to go to dance at the same moment I wanted to be at the movies. But dance 'rules the world' in my house (actually, my sister rules the house. And she's 11.)


So I got into the car. We were stopped by every single light, 2 trains, and nearly got killed by another car making an illegal turn.
And I get a freaking phone call.

"Savannah! Where are you?"
I look at the clock. It's about 6:37.
"I'm coming. My mom had to drop off my sister and I'm on my way. Sorry. You never told me what time to get there. But I'm coming."

"Well... you should be here. Everyone else is here waiting! We need you to get here NOW"

"I'm sorry. We've hit every red light and..."
"Well, just get here! How long till you get here?!"
..."10 minutes or so?"
"Hurry!"

I hung up.


We go a little bit further, someone else called me asking me where I was.
And while we drive into the parking lot, we get another phone call from my friend and she wants to know why I'm not there yet.



So I get there, I run in, there are NO seats. Because the lady had just said 'SORRY. NO MORE RESERVING SEATS. WE ARE SOLD OUT!'

>:O I didn't get a seat. Or, not with my group.
It was at the bottom row, seat next to the wall. I couldn't see the screen at all.


And so after all that, and more that happened, I go home and write a status and I mention how I got a terrible seat but the movie was great.

My friend goes and posts (and I see it this morning)
'Well, whaaaa!! Maybe next time you'll be on time!'

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT THE HELL?

I freaking gave her a reply. And it was 100% true, and it will probably start a fight, but I'm not going to put up with her giving ME fighting words on MY status about how I liked harry potter.

And I should go delete that post. But I'm not going to.

I basically said this.

I'm sorry. Tell that to the sister that needed to go somewhere and we couldn't leave the house until she was ready. Tell that to the 20+ red lights we sat through. Tell that to the car that made an illegal turn and was so close to killing us. Yeah. And I'm sorry that I've been texting people asking when to meet people, but I never got any replies. Sorry.


And I just saw that a minute ago she replied. But it isn't showing up. So I guess she deleted it.

I don't want a fight.
She's really the only friend I have I think. She's who I consider a best friend.
But she won't let me come between her and her BEST FRIEND EVER... (oh my gosh. And her best friend hates me.)


Whatever. Just seriously. She has the NERVE to post on MY status that I'M a whiner? WHO WAS THE ONE WHINING THAT I WASN'T THERE ON TIME?


Whatever. I'm not going to let this ruin our friendship. It just PO'd me really bad. And I'm just sad.


BTW - I will be going to see HP again today so I can get a decent seat. Let's hope that it will be a good seat.

Aww hunny! Im sorry she has made what should have been a fun event into such hassle for you.

*hugs*

It does sounds awfully like you are playing second fiddle to this other girl though which isnt fair to you. I would in all honesty try and form a few new friendships and then cool the one with this girl, not abandon it completely, but make her see that you dont 'need' her to have a good time.

[Neocridders]

I know. I've honestly been thinking a lot lately about my friends. I don't really have many good friends. I know a ton of people and they enjoy hanging out with me, but she's the only one that I would tell something to. I mean, I seriously don't have any other great friends. I wish I did.

And her best friend awesome. But she hates me. No good reason. And I've known for years she has hated me. I always knew. And this was before I even knew her really. She just always stuck up her nose and talked to someone else and gave me dirty looks.
Whatever.
I'm trying to come up with better friendships. But it's really hard to do when I'm a junior in high school. By the time I get a decent friendship, it'll be timefor college.

[BabyKittenCandy]

I do know the feeling hunny. I dont have many close mates, and for the longest time at school I didnt really have any I was really close with cos I was way too shy.

However, from what I have seen on here I wouldnt have thought you would have any issues forming new friendships

[jojo]

You texting your friends early to try and find out what was going on... that wasn't "worrying". That was being responsible and trying to plan ahead. I totally know how you feel, and to be honest I would have probably gotten fed up and just gone on my own, so props to you for handling that as patiently as you did.

It's one thing for one friend to be a planner-type and one friend to be a wing-it-type (oh gosh I'm thinking Pokemon now), but when one blames the other for something, that's just not fair

I hope your second time watching HP is tons more fun!!!

[Neocridders]

Alright- Not going this weekend to ssee it again. Maybe next weekend.
I figure it'll be just as busy today as yesterday.

[Neocridders]

Well, I guess I've figured out what happened.
Ok, some of you may know I have a cell phone that is a piece of crap. It's never worked how it should, even when i got it.
So I had put my friend's number in my phone a looong time ago. Two or more years ago. But when i got the phone i have now, I realized it was her home number. So i put in her home number first and then got her cell number.


Well, you also may know that I got a new phone in August. Well, after two months or so of the new phone, I messed it up.
So now im on my old phone. In my new phone i had put her number as her cell.

Then when i my new phine broke, i had my dad put the sim card in my old phone, so when i went to text her, i sent it to her home phone.

So each time i texted her, she never got it. 

Because i sent it to the wrong number.

It doesn't make me any happier about what happened, but I do realize i messed up.
