Well, being on top of the mountain apparently doesn’t last for very long. Sigh.

Linsey “broke up” with me, if you can call it that. I say that because even though I felt like we were, we weren’t actually going out. She did it because of Shauna. But I know now what many have told me is true: Linsey is a dirty slut. That isn’t bitterness talking, either. But, no worries.

Now, this morning, my friend, and the girlfriend of one of my best friends, Mike Briggs, Amy Torres, said she needed to talk to me. We’ve been talking a lot lately, mostly because I set her up with Mike. But today, she dropped a bombshell on me. She was able to coax out of me that I went to Linsey’s on Friday. And, after some coaxing of my own, she had told me that she liked me — more than her boyfriend, Mike. After which, I told Amy that I felt the same way about her. Now, this is more than just a problem. Shauna still thinks that I’m going to ask her out, which I don’t think I will. Not because I don’t like her, but because of Amy, and …

Since the beginning of school, I’ve become friends with, and subsequently become interested in a sophomore named Rachael. She’s very nice, and really cool. Now, I was very confused today, because of Linsey and this stuff with Amy. It’s not an understatement to say that I wasn’t hiding things well, especially around Rachael.

I spoke with her tonight on the phone, and told her how I felt, and what was happening with me today. She told me her feelings: that she really likes me, but is unsure about me because of (guess who?) Cathy. Apparently, Cathy told Rachael everything about our relationship, and Rachael is unsure (scared?). I wasn’t able to talk to her very much about it, but what I told her is that this was two years ago, and I’ve changed a lot (which I have). We’re going to talk more tomorrow. We’ll see what happens.

Regardless, I’m sure I will sleep fairly easily tonight … I hope …
