STORY
This afternoon I left my friends house upstate early so that we could get to the mall where she works at the time she gets off (hour and a half drive [going fast]). Around 20 minitues before we get there, she calls me and says she'll be working an extra hour. So I say, ok whatever, we're on our way anyway, even though I was irritated. When I get there and go into the store, she tells me that her boss is going to show up in 20 mintiues, and that he wouldn't like people just hanging around. Again, I figure, ok, whatever, and I buzz off like she tells me. She has told me she would call me either in a hour, or a hour and a half. I wait a good while.
I stop in once because I'm pissed off and I ask her if they sell and copies of "Boulderdash", an old board game. I explained "you have to lie strategicly to move your pieces around the board." She said no, and she was very apologetic about making me wait so long.
About a half hour later, I walk by the store and spy someone else through the stands behind the register. She's told me that the only people who work the store, are her, and her ex-boyfriend/still best friend. Who she broke up with last week.
Which was why I was confused when I spied her with her hands on his shoulders as he was seated, and then her hugging and perhaps kissing him. A minitue or two later I think he notices me looking in the window from across the mall, and he double checks. I figure, this got interesting, even though its turning into a four hour waste of my time I could have spent at my friends house. I full waited one hour, thirty seven minitues for her to call me, because there wasn't much else I could do. I walk in the store cooly and meet the guy in the green shirt who was behind the counter with Stacy before. I ask if Stacy is there, and he says, "no, sorry" I ask if he's seen her, he tells me "she left before I got here". An obvious weak lie that he knows I know is false. I introduce myself which catches him off guard, and he gives me the name Stacy gave me as her ex's.
So Stacy hasn't called me, I saw what I saw, I only assume she's back with her boyfriend, and has royaly wasted my time and stood me up. I call her cellphone as I leave the store, and I notice this guy making a call on his as well, as he follows behind me to the exit of the store. Her phone is off, so I leave a message to the effect of "I had to leave the mall. You know, I'd rather you don't tell me what I want to hear, and just tell me the truth instead. Maybe I'll talk to you sometime". and I get home.
When I get home, she signs into AIM for a quick second and I catch her. I already feel sick so I message her saying there's a lot of stuff I have good reason to ask but I won't. She tells me that she's so sorry, and she just made up with her boyfriend, and he told her she couldn't have lunch with her. I tell her that her boyfriend lied to me, and she says that's cause he doesn't give a shit about you. I tell her that's good because I feel the same way about him, and I used to care about you but I don't think that's needed anymore. I tell her I was just going to take her for a bite to eat, it wasn't like we were going to make out or anything. She signs off.
And the fact that I was totaly sick tonight. At least I didn't stay at my friends house to vomit and feel ill. It may have been the fluff sandwiches at 2 in the morning.
whatever, it was an important lesson to learn.
