My crush is in my drumming class,and International night was on Thursday and yesterday.Drumming was to be the introduction/first act,so I had to be there. Unfortunately for me,in the end,so was the guy I like.
I made the rather bad mistake of confessing to my mother that I did like a guy at school and that he was in my drumming class.I didn't tell her his name or what he looked like,but she was nagging me about it before we went there Thursday,and when we went back it got worse...
Only five of the guys from my Drumming class came that day.so that narrowed it down for her considerably.
When I got back to my mom after my performance with my class and taking my drum back (A congo) I took a seat next to her.The first thing she asks me is,"Is it the guy with the tie dye shirt?!"
I laughed and replied,"Henry?No,he's just funny!" "Is it the guy with the funky sideburns?!" "No way!That's Chase!" "Is it the chunky looking guy with the fluffly hair?!" "No way!Thats Aaron!He's the class clown,or one of them!" "Is it the one with black hair,and looks mexican?"
I didn't know if she was talking about my crush or not so I asked her wher he had been seated."Eh,in the middle to the left.So was it him?" "Mom,his name is Alex.No."
That was,thankfully,the end of the conversation until a band came on.3 guys were in that band and called themselves 'Fair Warning'.Let me just side comment for once and say they didn't give us enough of it. During their second song,my mom started up again,asking the same questions.She asked me something I can't remember and I yelped pretty loudly.A lot of people turned to look at me,even though I was in the second row from the front,and I was embarrassed as it was,but mom asked me something else and I yelped again.My mom giggle and shushed me."God,Paula!" Had been her exact words,lol.
We left during intermission because my mom didn't want to stay,as she was getting sleepy.Thank god International Night was yesterday as well,and I got to see it with a friend of mine,Jessica,because my mom didn't want me to be alone.Mom didn't want to come.
So we're on the way home and she starts at the beginning.No,no,no,no,until she can't think of anymore."That was all of them,wasn't it?" "I counted mom.There were around thirteen girls and 5 guys,18 of us in all."
Mother looks pensive."Is it the guy at the end,with the yellow shirt,looks like a hippie and had hickies on his neck?!"
... I was silent,let that be your answer."Uhhhh....No!?"
"Oooh,Paula!Ey,he looks like a girl!" "I KNEW you were gonna say that!I got enough of it from Asenati and Jessica!Do you know what the first thing Asenati said was when she saw what he looked like?" "What," she asks,smiling.
"Him?!OMG,He a Fa Fa!"
Mother asks,"What the hecks a fa fa?" "You wanna know what a fa fa is?I wanted to know too,and her rather direct translation was 'Boy who look like girl'. I said'HEy!" and she kept laughing and repeating 'he a fafa,OMG you like a fafa!"
This had my mom rolling as it was."I told you you'd make fun of him!Now you're gonna go up to Carlos (her boyfriend) and rant,(Say this in a higgh,ridiculously silly voice) 'OMG,Paula has a crush on a guy who looks like a girl,heeheeeheeheeheehee!'" My mom burst out laughing."Mom it's not funny!I know you're going to do it!" Her reply was,"Geez,Paula!You swear I laugh like that!" "Oh you think it's funny?!" And I repeated it.She laughed again.This time she asked for his name,grade level,and lets just say the comments had me blushing.
If you care to read them,I will put the questions ,answers,and comments my mom made:
Q:What grade is he in? A:He's a junior... C:Oooh,I see you like the older guys.My response? A high squealed,embarrassed 'MOOOM!!'
Q:Why do you like him? A:I didn't have a good answr for it,but answered,"Well,he seems nice and I think he's cute,so nyah!" C: 'Is it because he looks like an anime character?' R:I'm silent,and my mother knows the asnwer.She starts laughing."I see.So you like guys who look like anime characters? R:MOM!!
Q:What is his ethnicity?A:'If I told you you wouldn't believe me,'I say."I must know!" she announces in a low jokingly-threatening voice."I must know his race!" So I finally cave and say 'He's Filipino!'. C:Oh,I see.Yes,i remember now,he had slanted eyes...like you! R: Pretty much squirming at this point.
As we pull up to the drive,she nags about his name.I didn't want to tell her,but I can't like to people,especially not authoritative figures (ANd NO ONE can lie to their mom.ESPECIALLY me)
When I nearly fall out of my seat as I try to get out,I finally give and say,"His name is Julius,okay!" She says,"Hmm,that's a nice name."And I m finally free.I got to the door first,and as she reaches me,her eyebrows are jumping up and down and she says,"I know you like!I know who you like!" in a sing song voice.
I love my mom to death,but she knows I'm shy and easily finds ways to embarrass me in private or in public.Thankfully,if you just give my mom the infprmation she wants,she will only tease you for the rest of you natural life....in private,that is!
