Really, there's no title for this. It's too long. Just read. It explains why I was gone for a few days.

So yeah...keene is so full of s**t that his name no longer deserves a capital letter. Anyways...

He's been talking about me behind my back. Saying I'm whiny. I stayed home sick from school one day, and he was talking about how happy he was that I wasn't there. He was also saying Kai's parents lectured him.

Now, keene is a stoner. He was going to be driving Kai to prom (she was only going with him to get him to shut up about not having a partner, and so she could drag me along with her). What they did is they sat down and talked with him. Told him not to drive impaired, asked for his phone number, and asked for his license plate number. It's a reasonable request, driving in the city is fairly dangerous, and prom runs late, so you never know who might be out on the road.

He straight-up says to Kai's mom "so you INTERROGATING me".

Rude, much? Very. And then telling people he was lectured, when he wasn't. The word "lecture" carries a negative connotation. It made her parents look bad.

Kai was not pleased when I told her. She thought about telling him she wasn't going to prom with him anymore, but decided against it because she's the one who talked me into going, and wanted to take responsibility for that. That, and she wanted to be able to gloat when she saw I was having fun, because I keep saying I won't > .>;

Then, she comes up with a plan. "Tonight, I'm going to put us on a three-way call with keene. I'll call you first. Mute your phone and I'll patch him in."

Later that night, during Kage Time (I explained the situation to him; he was fine with me going), Kai calls. I mute my phone as told, and listen to the conversation unfold.

Of course, things started with the talk of her parents. She was very level-headed and calm when talking to him about it, but as soon as she mentioned how he exaggerates things, he exploded. Honestly, how immature. After he was done throwing his tantrum, she said "I understand if you're mad and don't want to go with me to prom anymore." And then, in the most pathetic, desperate tone of voice I've ever heard, he says "no, I would LOVE for you to go to prom with me."

Anyways, the conversation continued on. Before he left, though, Kai stopped him and said "Hey, is it true that you're mad with [Tri] lately?" And he was about to say something, explode again, but he got cut-off by Kai before he could really start. She said "because I kind of agree with some of what I've heard." She was playing with him.

And then, he spilled everything.

"It's her fault we got a C+ on our English project, she did it all wrong and I did it perfectly. She forces me to be friends with her, when we do partner projects, she looks at me and I'm trapped, because everyone else hates her and no one else will partner with her. And if she so much as SEES me going over to another group, she follows me over there and stand in front of me with these big eyes, and how can I say no to that?"

Please. Big eyes? I don't even puppy-eye my own BOYFRIEND. He only WISHES a girl would act like that around him. And while it's true I follow him to other groups, it's because, uh HELLO. We're doing a ******** PROJECT, stop ******** around! Get to work, I'm not doing the whole thing by myself! And the English project? He was whining and bitching about how tired he was the whole time. And his writing didn't match up with mine at all. It went against mine, and that was NOT what we agreed on. Asa for partner projects, I thought we were friends. Friends like doing projects together. It's more fun that way. But I was wrong, apparently.

Here's the thing. I'm not mad. Not at all. In fact, I feel empowered..hang on, there's more.

The day after hearing this, I run into Ms. Shapiro in the hall, and ask her if I can work on the econ project alone. I flat out-tell her that "keene has been very rude and disrespectful to me over the past week or so, and I can't deal with him anymore." Then Mrs. Brett comes by and jumps into the conversation. I used to be in her advisory class last year, so she was curious about what was going on. I told her keene was talking about me behind my back. And here is where I won everything, before I even had the meeting with keene: crocodile tears. Mrs. Brett believed I was really upset, and said she'd pull keene and I out of econ the following day and have a meeting with us.

Later that day, I went into English. I asked ms. gocker if I could switch seats. She said keene had already talked to her about it the other day, and it was fine. I was curious about what had been said, but I sat on the opposite side of the room. Here's the fun part; keene looked over at me, and his expression was the most confused thing in the world.

I talked to ms. gocker after class, wondering what keene had said about me. I told her that he'd been talking about me behind my back. She said "I take everything he says with a grain of salt. I know that he exaggerates and that you're a good person, so I didn't take anything he said to heart." For one, he bitched to a teacher about me. Kind of low, don't ya think? I may have gone to Ms. Shapiro, but I didn't intend for Mrs. Brett to get involved. And second...the teacher took my side.

t the end of class, I heard keene bitching about Kai to Vicky and cassy (stupid ******** whore). I snorted the entire time I was listening, and called Kai on it later. Told her how he was saying he didn't understand why she was upset (when the night before on the phone he said that he understood perfectly). She officially is not going to prom with him anymore. He doesn't know that yet, though wink and then she said "I can't believe he had the nerve to call me earlier and ask me why you were mad at him." I laughed, told her about his expression. She said "It's because you're beating him to it." He'd been planning on telling me off on the last day of school.

He was waiting too long.

The next day, we get pulled out of econ by Mrs. Brett. When we got into her classroom and she started talking, keene had this look on his face, that said "Oh ********" and "please get me out of here, why are you doing this to me?" at the same time.

I smiled. In an evil manner, yes, but I smiled.

I'm not going to go into the details, since all I did was pretty much recite what I'd heard him say, in exact quotes. He lost. Mrs. Brett took my side through the whole thing. She said that, no matter what I'd said in the past (which was only "he had it coming" in reference to Maria dumping him), what he'd done was far, far worse. That is could irreparably damage me. My expression was blank; I was laughing on the inside.

keene acted like everything was okay afterwards. And then he was talking about it in the Art Quad; he was keeping his distance from me, talking, and looking over at me the whole time. Feh.

Anyways, I still plan to tell him off on Grad Night. I wasn't allowed to tell him what I really think with Mrs. Brett there, but I will then. Tell him how full of s**t he is and how I don't give a ******** that we're not friends anymore In fact, getting rid of him makes me feel like I can take on anyone else who's acting immaturely about me (another story for another time; this is too long already).

And, one funny thing before I end this too-long post; a conversation between Kage and I, at the start of everything.

When I told Kage that keene was talking about me, he said that he was probably jealous of something I had.

"Of what? He's always bragging about how much money his family has, how many cars his dad has. He's not a gamer, so he's not jealous of my systems, and if I have anything else he wants, he can get it easily. I have nothing that he can't get. Oh, wait, there is something I have that he doesn't, and I know that he wants."

"What's that?"

"A working relationship."

This was all packed into a mere three-day span, these events. Really something, isn't it? Anyways, this post is freaking long, and I think I've explained everything. Here you go.
