Warning: This is that chapter in real-life books where I probably embarrass the hell out of people but... sorry not sorry.

PS awkward moment when Red comes on iHeartRadio...

12-23-13

As much as a boyfriend was wanted since I've been into best friend love stories lately, I didn't want Tristin...

Tristin: Hey.

Me: Hey

Tristin: What's up

Me: Tumblr lol you?

Tristin: Lol. Nothing

Me: How's Break?

Tristin: Great urs?

Me: Hecktic! So much shopping!

Tristin: Lol ikr. Hey do you like me jw

Of course. This guy just screamed desperate.

Me: Define like you... lol

Tristin: like like me.

What are we in kindergarden? But I wasn't sure. Like I literally didn't know.

Me: Um... why do you want to know?

Tristin: I'm jw

Me: Just wondering. Lol sure sure. Um I think you're funny and stuff

Tristin: Lol what stuff

Me: Haha um like you're -usually- nice

Tristin: Lol. You're mean lol jk

Me: So why did you really want to know? And omg I'm not mean!

Ignoring the fact I'm posting this to the world...

Tristin: Lol I'm jw

Me: Lol sure you are

Tristin: Yes I am so do you like me as a friend or more than that

Me: Um... not really sure xD what do you think?

Tristin: Yes as more than a friend

Me: Lol well what about me? Lol spotlight on you now

Tristin: What

Me: What about me? You asked if i like you and i said idk. your turn

Tristin: Oh lol ya kinda

What the hell is kinda? You're kinda pretty like pick one dude yes or no.

Me: Shocker. Lol note the sarcasm.

Tristin: Lol

Me: Well thanks lol

Yup. A guy just said he likes me and I said thanks. Go Selena hashtag single forever.

Tristin: lol welcome know me

Me: Know you?

Tristin: Ya do you like me more than a friend

At this point I wanted to throw a grammar book at his face.

Me: I really don't know... I mean you're nice and funny and whatnot but I don't know its hard to explain...

Tristin: Well explain it like do you have feelings for me

I really resisted myself to just say I was in love with someone else.

Me:not sure... I kinda just think its weird cuz you kinda go from girlfriend to girlfriend... no offense

Tristin: Oh ok

Right into the friend zone! Score Selena Brians!!

Me:I didnt mean to like hurt your feelings or anything. You're a great guy

Yeah you could say I felt a little bad...

Tristin: Oh

Me: Sorry...?

Tristin: It's ok :(

Oh hell come on dude! Why don't you go sit on Santa's lap and ask for a pair of balls.

Me: Don't be sad! Awe

Why did I say that? I'm egging him on. Okay Selena quit it.

Tristin: It's fine I understand

I groaned.

Me: I'm sorry! Why don't you just try being my friend? Being friends first is always best

There you go Selena! Feed him advice.

Tristin: I am

I wanted to hit my head against a wall. This dumbass thought we were friends? Okay that sounded mean, but we aren't!

Me: No you're an acquaintance. Friends like talk and stuff. Not just in a class...

Tristin: What u mean

I think my inner OCD is kicking in. I can't date you if you can't use proper english. It's the inner writer in me.

Me: You've never been friends with the girls you like have you? Lol we like it when you be our friend first. Talk to us; get to know us. You know?

Tristin: Oh ok

Me: So I talk to you later i guess

I almost put alright instead of I guess but that makes me baby him. He's 16! He wasn' even that good looking or nice...

Tristin: K bye ig

I wanted to laugh a bit. He sounded like a kid who wanted a puppy but got a snuggie.

I logged off Facebook and went to the kitchen to remain baking. This was crazy.

Later that night Tristin sent me a 'hey gorgeous'

I didn't reply until the next day (because I just saw it) with a 'hi lol'

But more importantly, today was December 24th, 2013. THE DAY LOUIS FREAKING TOMLINSON TURNS 22!

Tristin: What's up

Me: Baking!! You?

I was not going to egg him on today.

Tristin: Lol laying here.

Me: Sounds relaxing

Tristin: Ya. so you do like me right

I wanted to place my forehead in this preheating oven. Was he serious? I know people were calling him thirsty and now I see why.

Me: Somewhat yeah

Tristin: See I knew it

Cockiness- 73%

Me: Knew it? Lol

Tristin: Lol ya

Me: How did you know?

Tristin: I just did

Me: Oh gosh lol alright

Tristin: Lol

Me: Haha

Tristin: Lolol

I hated when people did that!

Me: So...

Tristin: Idk

I should have just ended it there.

Me: So what are your plans for tomorrow?

Tristin: Opening presents that's it lol u

Me: Presents early then dinner

Tristin: Lol cool

Me: Yeah I'm super excited!!

Tristin: Y

Me: Because 1) food. 2) the kids faces like they'll be so happy 3)  there's this really pretty dress I got lol

Tristin: Lol. You going to were it for me

This bitch did not just ask me that! Oh HELL NO!

Me: Wear** and I don't wear things for anybody. I wear things for myself

Tristin: Plz

Does this guy not get it?!

Me: I'm wearing it tomorrow but not for you. You seriously ask girls to wear things for you?

Tristin: No lol

Me: Then why me?

He never responded.

That's better. No more getting into any more conversations with Tristin.

I was in the middle of telling Sarah what happened with the dress.

Sarah: Please don't say Tristin Bently! He went out with my cousin and said I love you after the first day.

I gaped. This was a classic secret manwhore I'm dealing with!

I scrolled down his Facebook.

Full of his ex-girlfriend Ash but that's not new. What's interesting is girl's make him their Man Crush Monday and he says 'thanks gorgous'.

Now it's on. You wanna play manwhore, let's play.

I scrolled down more.

The same girl he called gorgous earlier for making him MCM, she posted 'Imma meet u one day no matter what!! cx' then tagged him. Oh my god! They've never even met!!

He commented, same here.

Oh my god! We'll check this girl out in a second.

Okay this is what Facebook stalking is. But at this point I didn't care. Manwhore is going down.

Wow he's 17. My mom's not going to like that. Not like I was going to tell her about him. Plus Harry Styles is 19 so let's just not go there.

He had a "TBH Rate Date" Status. He tagged three girls in the comments alone and said he'd date them all! Oh my god have I been blind!?

I knew I had glasses but damn!

I stopped at a picture of Jo.

I mean I'm friends with Jo cool but she was talking to Tristin for a while. And during that while she let his hand rest on her upper thigh during lunch all the time, in front of his ex.

I kinda thought Ash deserved it. If I was Jo (and nothing like myself) I'd probably make-out with Tristin in front of Ash because she's that much of a bitch.

The comments of the picture of Jo as Tristin's Woman Crush Wednesday were priceless!!!

Ash: Jo we knew it lol

Trevor: Dude you're thirsty. (4 likes)

Tristin: Shut up Trevor lol

That's basically saying shut up dude I'm trying to get some lol

Ash: Trevor ain't that the truth

Trevor: Haha

Ash: Exs these days trying to hook up with my best friend

Best friend? Psh, Jo moved here last year!

Trevor: I don't know about you but that's got thirsty written all over it

Ash: Yup that's the truth

This girl also commented. Her name was Sally. I don't know much about her but she seems to hate Jo.

Sally:  Lol why because he oicked a wcw? So he's thirsty. STFU and get over your selves already. She ugly af anyways.

Jo: Ha that's why you tried to get with me right? How cute!!

Sally: And you messaged me first saying hey beautiful ill screen shot it.

Wow... I wish she really would screenshot it.

Jo: Haha wow yeah one guy isn't one whole town sweetheart! Your eyebrows are like 2 centimeters! Dude I didn't fuck anyone in maxwell! But at least they don't make up rumors about me like they did with you! (3 likes)

Since this didn't make much sense, I figured someone erased a few comments. Probably saying Jo slept with/ got with the whole town.

Sally: Lol you didn't f*ck anyone in Maxwell? Lmao sweety one guy is one guy and you f*cked 4 guys on Maxwell and you weren't even here for a year. Bitch there not 2 centimeters lmao get your facts straight.

Jo: Oh shit 4? Who name them!!

Sally: Message me and I'll tell you who I heard

See! Bam! Hearsay! Case closed. Wow mock trial really is helping me!

Jo: No tell me now!! Come on you're obviously not scared so tell me the 4

Tristin: stop guys there is no reason to fight sally just stop

Tristin's mom: that's enuff girlies!! Sally, you always win in my book!! (; (2 likes which were Sally and Tristin)

Wow... all over a WCW of Jo.

Now for that girl that talks to Tristin but has never met.

Her name was Amber. She's pretty... But I couldn't see much from me not being her friend.

Alright. I've gotten enough information on the manwhore for good use later.

I think I could just reject this guy in the perfect way.

Selena Brians, rejection expert. it has a ring to it!(:

12-30-13

I brushed out the fabric in my dress. I groaned. Why did I even have to dress up? We doubt our category was going to be picked.

"What's wrong?" Alle asked, also smoothing out her black dress. At least hers wasn't tight around the bust then went off being puffy.

"I just want my blue jeans."

"You want jeans?"

"Yes! I'd rather be wearing my jeans." I sighed, finally settling my dress from clingy fabric.

When I looked up from doing so, I met a pair of blue eyes.

"Well I think you look pretty Selena." Dylan said to me before we were all ushered into the cafeteria, which now looked like a dungeons dining room.

We were individually sat.

I sat between Alle and Bella.

Spaghetti. Seriously? I'm wearing white!!

I wanted to groan when I saw we had a lobstertail fork to eat our spaghetti with. In other words,  the little fork.

It was so hard eating. The sauce was thick and the fork kept slipping from my fingers.

Suddenly another addition came to our table. Dylan.

"Is he sitting by Tate?" I asked Alle.

"No. Some girl but I don't know her!" Alle whispered to me. I nodded.

I kept thinking back to him calling me pretty. It was so weird! Wasn't he still with Tate? Exactly,  I never knew.

We prayed -huh- then had a few speakers. One being Dylan's mom!

That's why he moved over here! Front row for him.

Our category was picked but we lost. But once we could leave, I was happy.

"Now I can finally get into jeans." I signed in relief.

"You still look beautiful though." Dylan nudged my arm, making eye contact before he walked away.

In the words of Lydia Martin, "What... the holy hell... is that?"

Dylan never flirted with me let alone call me beautiful!

I opened my eyes. That dream felt so real! I wanted it to be. I mean, he called me pretty and beautiful when he didn't have to!

I'd been called gorgeous by a guy (Tristin) but he just wanted to date me.

Oh great here comes Dylan's come-back. Yay dreams! Not.
