Dillards 9/18/16 (Senior Year)

    Me and Geek dude after watching a movie we always go to loiter around in stores> One of these stores is Dillards because they have so many things cringy we can't afford. Like for example last time we went there we saw a a pair of forks that said "I do" because they are marriage theme dishes, just UGH we both cringed so hard we left the store after seeing it. Well for a moment then we came back to buy a cliche wall hanging for Geek dude that said "Go Anywhere" He was so excited when I pointed out the wall hanging as a joke and he said "Oh my god Yes!!! That's so me" He takes my jokes seriously, sometimes.
    Anyways today after watching the movie "Don't Breathe" we went to Dillards. To the same home decor section. We saw the 'newly married' plates and decorations and to our surprise a sweet old lady came to us. When I her nearing us I walked away and while I was walking away She said "aw are you guys getting married?". Geek dude said "uh um no We are just looking around" then she said "well these are the plates anyways if you guys were to get married someday, and if not there are some friendship pates over here". I could not stop laughing. Anyways Great fun date.

Saturday 9/3/16 (Senior Year)

       Homecoming day. My boyfriend (Geek dude) asked me to the Homecoming dance on Thursday and I of course said yes. Friday as you may already know was not the best day ever for my self esteem. So when Saturday came around I was filled with anxiety that something might go wrong today.
       I woke up early because I also had to volunteer for a place called Turning point (Where we cook food for the homeless). Geek dude was also here so it wasn't that bad, I had someone to talk to and my anxiety eased. Geek dude and me started helping making a potato mix (which is the bomb ah). Then I started cutting up strawberries for the strawberry cake (which also turned out SO good). An hour later we served the food and then me and geek dude and group of friends went outside to eat the leftover food. That was when Soccer player asked Geek dude "Hey are you going to homecoming today?" and then geek dude said "Yes I am. And I am going to the person sitting besides me" (I was sitting besides him and so was this other dude HAHA) So the soccer player said "Aw that's cute so did you do a cute homecoming proposal?" and me and Geek dude said "No. It was just a mutual decision". The soccer player then said "Okay Geek dude I will help you ask your girlfriend to homecoming then" . "Oh no it's really not necessar-". "Hey can I borrow a pen Ms. Castillo?" the soccer player then proceeded to get a napkin paper and wrote this-



He gave it to Geek dude then geek dude said "Okay ______ Will you go to homecoming with me even though you have already given me an answer?". So as you can see I circled Yes on the napkin. And the table went "aww" and one of our supervising teachers took a picture of it to post on the volunteering twitter page. Even though it was a joke in a way.
It was then 12:30 and we went home since we were done volunteering.



     OH did I forget to mention that I was sick on this day? Boogers coming out, a bunch of coughing, massive headaches, and yet somehow I managed to pull through the service. Now it was time to try and get better for 7pm. I came home, slept, did homework, practiced violin (sort of), drank medicine. Then when 6 rolled around I started getting ready even though I had minor fever. Went to the dance at 7, geek dude wasn't there yet because of traffic so I sat in the courtyard to wait for him. Luckily The Prodigy came at the same time as I did so we both sat in the courtyard. He said he was waiting for Scorpio dude (Did I forget to mention those two are best friends?). So we started talking about the movie Batman v Superman and how he was watching it before he came here. Then I said "No way I was just listening to the movie soundtrack. I mean one song in particular, the Lex luther's theme song" and he said "OH The red capes are coming?" which to I said yes. Then we talked about movie soundtracks. Five minutes later Geek dude arrived and I said goodbye to the Prodigy kid and went inside we sat on a table started playing with a balloon that was on the floor. Soon he discovered I had a fear of balloons. More specifically I have a fear of balloons popping near me. So he spent the next hour or so trying to scare me and in return I would try to tickle him or throw the balloon back at him in which at one point hit a guy I didn't know on the back of the head. I pretended that it wasn't me who threw the balloon. The guy then threw it to the couple sitting in front of us then the whole table started throwing balloons at each other even though we didn't know each other. It was fun honestly. Then the Theater squad showed up so we went with them to hang out while John busted out some sick dance moves and The President threw some 70's dance moves to modern songs. At first Me and Geek dude did not dance due to us not being good dancers.
        In the last forty minutes Geek dude told me "Okay we will dance on the next slow song" and I agreed. The slow song came on and we went to the dance floor. Which was kind of funny, him being a lot taller than me and me being the short person that I am (and I was wearing heels and I was STILL significantly shorter). He had to take small steps and I had to take big steps in order to synchronize. My arms barely reached his shoulders. So we then started laughing about this and kept saying "Ah person behind you take four steps to the right so you won't hit them". Then the song was over and a bachata song came on, so we had to move a tad bit more. Geek dude then said "OKAY from what I have seen so far is that people take two steps to the right then two steps to the left, Easy right?" "Psht yeah of course, easy". It wasn't easy. Us being the smart people that we are (he's way more smarter than me though) could not figure out how to correctly move to this song the dance looked so awkward it was hilarious, It was perfect. (ugh cringe yes I know). Then other pop songs came on and we threw out some lame lame moves, I don't even know how to describe it. A slow song came on again, we danced awkwardly like 8th graders on purpose and he kept saying lame jokes. To finish off the dance they put on the song "The time" by The black eyed peas. That's when we ran to our theater group to sing along to the lyrics of the song as loud as we could. It was the best moment hearing the whole group of people in the dance start singing ♪I had the time of my life♪ with the biggest smile on everyone's faces. It was quite vibe, I literally felt like tearing up from seeing so much joy in one room. The song then picked up pace so that's when we started jumping around and The president took this chance to create a conga line. He screamed "Get in the line WOO" and slowly we all joined in to create a big circle while somehow managing to jump and scream "Cause I am having a good time with you i'm telling you!". Geek dude turned around and yelled to me "This is so Lit ahhh" (Literally have never seen him like this before). In the end when the song started coming to an end we all ran to the middle of the circle to jump even higher and start clapping and screaming.
   
      I am so happy I ended up going to my one and only homecoming dance. I am even happier that I got to spend that time with my friends and Geek dude. We were both nervous about being embarrassed with our bad dancing. But we both got over it and truly felt free and comfortable around each other. So Thank you!!

Sorry forgot to put in the story that we also kept throwing glitter at each other, and I found out he does the cutest face with his teeth making him look like a hamster,
Also the prodigy kept headbanging on the pop songs and in the last hour he managed to get crazy enough to wrap his tie around his head like a bandana, While Scorpio dude kept rocking out with him (Sophomores I swear are the funniest people ever).
And some of our counselors and principals started dancing with us HOW GREAT!

The Weird day 9/2/16 (Senior year)

         Normal. Normal. Normal
4th Period: I got the lowest test score in my class HAHA and How do I know this? The teacher told the whole class I had the lowest score. Of Course this put my already non-existing self esteem in a dangerously level of below zero. I spent the whole day pretty gloomy and thinking "ugh I am stupid. I am not worth anything, I actually am trying this time and I still get the same result WHY EVEN BOTHER" You know the usual sad thoughts.
        On this day there was also going to be a Pep Rally at the end of the day. me being in the state I was I did not go. I went into the orchestra room to pick up my violin and leave to walk home. BUT That's when I saw that The Prodigy (My Best friend small brother) and The Satanist were there also. I also realized that the satanist was trying to squeeze himself into a violin locker (They are thin but long). Since he is small he had a chance at going all in but no he could only go in halfway before his shoulders didn't manage to fit. Then he tried to go in head first in the locker and said "okay guys if I start screaming you will pull me out. Okay?" and me and The prodigy said "we got you fam". He went in then he yelled "nope. PULL ME OUT". So of course we did. Then The Satanist got his violin and The Prodigy got his cello to practice their music and since I am in first violin the Satanist (he's 2nd violin) asked if he could see my music and I said "Sure". They started playing my music while i watched them struggle (since it's usually hard music). Then The Satanist asked "Hey do you have the song Memory?" and I said Yes I do. He went to look for it in my binder and found it The prodigy and the satanist both started playing and I couldn't help but smile because THAT is one of my favorite orchestra songs.
          In my orchestra the seniors have a tradition on the senior's last orchestra concerts they have to play the song "memory: as a goodbye song. Last year The Best friend graduated so you can imagine the crying that happened when they played their goodbye song. Ever since then I've held this song in a special place and this year will be my turn to say goodbye with that song. Which is sad in a way, I will truly miss my friends in orchestra (most of my friends now in orchestra are sophomores). This, My last year, I can honestly say that orchestra is my home I finally feel like I fit in orchestra (AFTER 3 YEARS WOW).
      Anyways my thought process was interrupted by The Satanist "Can i borrow it PLEASEEE ?!??!" and I said "Yes but you better give it back because I also love this song" and then he replied with "OH MY GOD THANK YOU". Then we started to leave because the pep rally was over, other people came in to pick up their instruments and some had lost their voices in the rally. Our orchestra teacher came in and told us three "Well I see you guys aren't Pep rally people. Why?" and The prodigy said "Because playing music is better than losing my voice". HAHA.
     This was the first time where orchestra has actually made my day better I no longer was walking around with a sad face instead I was smiling for sharing those simple but fun moment with those two.



    (It's been a week he hasn't given it back, ugh)
