Passive Aggressive
I hate passive aggressiveness, man, I really do. As usual, I have a story to follow.
So, me and my brother were driving to La'Keyia's house for a round of swimming (I've been depressed recently, swollen jaw and all) and I took it as an opportunityto ask him about Corey. I told him nothing was set in stone and that I may have the slightest, tiniest baby crush on him. To which Chris became STRESSED out. He told me Corey was younger than he told me he was and that he had a girlfriend, both of which didn't really matter to me, cuz I'm not planning on marrying the boy. After a few minutes of silence, he basically said I was an adult and I was gonna do whatever I wanted to do anyway, so it was fine. I was really impressed with the maturity that my brother was working with and was happy that no real waves were caused.
Then we got to La'Keyia's house. La'Keyia's never ready on time, so we ended up wasting some time in her apartment before heading to the pool. We're there, laughing and joking, joking and laughing, when Chris decides to tell Keyia about what I told him about Corey. Didn't help when La'Keyia told him she knew already (which I don't even know how, I mentioned Corey to her ONCE, when we were talking about fashion, and I don't think I'm that transparent when I like a guy), which made him think things were going on longer than they were (again, NOTHING'S even happening!). So, they teamed up on me, having a good laugh at my expense, as they always like to do. But again, Chris let it go, saying I was gonna do what I wanted to do.
Then we went to the pool. I couldn't swim, so I was hangin' on the sidelines, bored outta my skull. Since I'm all about communication, when I use someone else's name in something, I like to keep them abreast of the situation, so I sent Corey a text, just letting him know I slightly kinda addressed having a crush on him to Chris. So he called me. La'Keyia was next to me when I answered and of course ran off to tell Chris how I was smiling. Keyia's wack. I love her, but she's wack. So of course, they started joking again about me robbin' the cradle and bl-bl-bluh, whatever. So I tossed her in the pool once I got off with Corey.
So of course I was the joke of the day. I'd smile about something, I got Corey on the brain. I'd miss a turn, I got Corey on the brain. Now, not to knock Corey, he seems to be a good guy. He's funny as all hell and damn smart, but he doesn't consume my thoughts on a daily basis. I don't sit waiting for him to call nor do I sit on IM waiting for a message. Corey's just a guy with whom I can have decent conversations with. And most of the time, I'm doing all the talking. I like to tell stories, Corey listens. Do I maybe slightly have a bit of a crush on him? Maybe slightly, but damn, I'm not tryin' to be his Mrs. My brother thinks I'm gonna get hurt, he musta forgot who I am.
I guess what bothers me is Chris and Keyia making such a big deal over something that is SO not that serious. Now, I'm a rebel (big shocker there) and in my rebellion, I'm tempted to do one of two things: actually pursue Corey for real, just to get at Chris and Keyia or just stop talking to Corey altogether. Either way, a friendship with great potential may very well be ruined and I don't wanna do either. I'm gonna stick with the status quo for right now, I guess.
My point is, all that drama, for what? Get a grip, people. I hate passive aggressiveness. WACK!!
