Third Wheel Syndrome

So basically, it seems that everywhere I go, I'm the third wheel. I know that sounds really cliche and that you probably don't care, but I just wanted to share this thought. High school, whether everyone will admit it or not, is usually all about finding a boyfriend or girlfriend to prove to the world that you truly are cool, and that there are people out there who like you who are not your mom.

Once you find this person (even though it may only last for a couple of weeks), your whole life seems to be happy and rosy and everything wonderful. Every morning you see them in your classes, talk to them at lunch, and talk on the phone until the wee hours of the morning. Unconciously-or maybe not so unconciously-you leave all of your friends and completely cling to this person.

There is a ton of problems with this, but one major one, or at least the one that I deal with is, being that friend who's hanging out with you that you don't really notice. For instance, I say, "Hey, let's go to the basketball game tonight, " and they say, "Okay, I'll call John and we can all go together." Because that's exactly what I want. You and your boyfriend are going to be talking the entire time to each other and only look at me if you happen to notice that I'm not really into the game. Sorry, but it's just not fun to think that you're going to get to spend time with your friends only to find out that there's someone else coming and you get the boot. :(

So I'm just saying, if anyone was wondering, three is not company. But it's okay, I can make it by myself. I'll be a unicycle!!!!
