justwrite 24 november

So, look, I only have ten minutes to write right now. I know that this is about to be an argument, but let’s get it together here. To summarize:

Yes, Jamie does feel sort of bad about being sort of cold or whatever.

But really, who was he out with? Dave and Gina and Mandy. Or is it Mandi with an i? Jamie imagines it must be. She imagines Mandi is all over Aaron and asking for help with her technique in getting the ball where she wants it. Jamie imagines Mandi is a knock-out. Why fixate on Mandi? I have no idea. Maybe Mandi sounds cuter than Gina, and therefore more reasonable to be jealous about.

Wait, why is she jealous?

Jamie and Aaron are just friends, obviously.

Aaron wants to know what Jamie wants from him.

She’s the one who said they shouldn’t be a couple the last time they talked about it. Of course they’ve talked about this before. It’s not like a surprise that we—or even they—might assume that they’re dating.

Jamie is sort of quiet. Sort of like saying Well and But and following those up with not much more.

If she’s going to be all over him for going out with some friends—and they’re all just friends, thanks for the trust, there—then maybe she’s looking for something other than what they’ve got. If she’s going to act like he’s supposed to act like she’s his girlfriend, but yet she doesn’t want to be his girlfriend, then, well, he doesn’t know what to think.
