New Girlfriend, New Chorus, New Hairdo
Theo - ex, friend
Daniel - friend at SC
Chris - highschool friend
Nadiah - childhood friend
Theo had gotten a new girlfriend. I think she was some blonde girl named Allison. I was really not taking the whole situation well and I couldn't stand being in the same room with her or seeing them together. I was sitting in someone's kitchen trying to do something and the girlfriend walked over and was being very friendly and trying to talk to me. I basically just grunted responses and rolled my eyes a lot. Theo came in and I asked him if he could help me with my chemistry homework later. He said sure, and then walked over and put his arm around the girlfriend. I felt like he would probably forget because he was going to be with her. I told him to make sure he remembered and he said he would. I left the room as fast as possible.
I ran into Daniel later and he tried to warn me about Theo's new girlfriend. I told him I already knew and that it was okay.
I was wearing a pretty white dress and lacey gloves.
I shaved my head again and was having some regrets. I kept saying "oh my god why did I do that", but at the same time I was kind of enjoying it and I kept running my fingers through what little hair I had. I went to an audition for a chorus. Everyone in the room took a turn singing something for the conductor. All the people there had excellent voices, and some of them sang opera. I had a friend, a random black girl that sang right before me and did alright. I was the last person to go and I was insanely nervous. I couldn't get my lips to move the right way, and as a result my singing sounded kind of muffled. But I took deep breaths and did the best I could and the song came out okay (I sang "Do Re Me" from the Sound of Music). The teacher loved it and said that it was great.
Chris had auditioned as well and we left the chorus together. We walked outside and the beach was only a few hundred yards away, and the beach was covered in grasses that had turned gold because of the winter. The sun was setting too and the waves were gigantic. I said "we live in the most beautiful place in the world". We started walking toward the ocean, but the waves were so big that the water was already coming up to us where we were. Nadiah was with us now, and a giant wave came. She had her back to it so it knocked her over and she got completely wet, which Chris and I thought was very funny. We stood in the water and talked about the sand moving around our feet.
