I asked a girl to the Homecoming dance

I asked her like a month before the dance. She was all “I’d love to go with you, Brandon!”. The next day I ask for her number (She already had mine) to text her about our dance preparations. Later that day she texts me back, telling me that her BF ‘had been thinking about taking her’. Which I interpreted, and still hold to be true, that he felt threatened that I would take her, rather than him, so he said what he had to say. So I kinda drifted away from the plans, let him take her, didn’t want to jeopardize things with them.

Come to find out a week or two after, (I thought she’d been avoiding me during this time, but turns out she got sick after going to Homecoming) that they broke it off very near to the dance date. I was not told of such. She went with some other guy who ditched her after a short time of dancing with her, to be with other people. She was alone, save a friend.

So then our discussion goes like this “I wish I could have been with you! Did you end up going?” “No, I thought it’d be weird without a date..” “You should go to the next one in January! :D” (Sadies) Like the out-of-the-loop idiot that I am, I asked her to Sadies. My Mom later refreshed my memory that the girls are supposed to ask the guys. *GONK*

That asking business happened on Wednesday after school, as we were getting off the bus. Then there were Finals on Thursday and Friday, meaning no buses after school, so I haven’t been able to tell her what an out-of-the-loop idiot that I had been. (I tried on the bus ride to school on Friday, but that bus is so awkwardly quiet that my cute self-criticism would look off-base and weird.)
