So...

In school we're doing this thing called Secret Snowflake, where people have to draw a name from a hat and get that person a small gift under ten dollars. I just wrote down that I wanted chocolate to make it easy for whoever got me.
I got Max, so I'm planing to pop into Hot Topic and pick up something emo for him, since that's his style. Maybe more chains for his pants or something.
He and Lana are always seen together, and they get picked on for being "emo". Max swears she's a vampire and will one day ask her to make him one too, so they could seal their dark love forever.
Sure.
Speaking of love, I can't tell you how great it's been to have Aleron for a boyfriend!
Actually, I can.
At first it was still a little tentative. It was talking and the holding hands while in the halls type thing. Nothing special. But then last weekend he called me up and we went out to the movies. After that, we went to get ice cream.
I couldn't put a finger on it at that time, but this scenario seemed familiar. As if it happened to someone else...
The ice cream shop is not far from Jalana's haircutting place, and Ulric, wonder of all wonders, comes strolling past.
I see him out the big window. He grinned and gave me a thumbs-up. I flicked him off, fuming. Aleron was smiling.
"Don't get worked up, Maximum," he said.
"Hardy har har," I said as Ulric walked off. "As long as a carbon copy of me doesn't appear I'm good."
"Right," said Aleron. "One Red is enough."
"Yeah, and it wasn't Max and Fang sitting at the table in Ye Olde Ice Creame Shop. It was Max and that other guy. I forgot his name."
"If it was Max and Fang," said Aleron. "They would have taken him on." I grinned wryly, knowing we were both formulating a plan in our evil minds.

We pitched our empty ice cream cups and charged down the street after Ulric.

I think that one incident was what brought me and Aleron together, because after that, we were like, never apart from each other.
He's going to be coming over sometime this weekend, I think. I'll see if I can get him to post a little somethin' or other on my blog, since he absolutely refuses to have any pictures taken of him.
Like seriously.

Oh, and Trinity? She's hanging in there. She discovered Johnny has a new girlfriend, but she was okay with it, for the most part. I think she would have wanted to know ahead of time that he wanted someone else.
Aw well.
I think she's getting a feel for Ulric though. She's starting to really like him, and she says he's different when he's not around everyone. He's a great guy, she said. Ulric's not really the sex-driven wolf he appears to be.
Yeah, and the first thing he did when we met him was hit on us...
Ulric's started to call me "Pidge" now, which is an abbreviation for "Pigeon". He's becoming less wild and I can tolerate him more. I think his wolfish heart is growing soft from the civilized life he lives.

More later. Aleron wanted me to call him around now.

-Red

P.S. - Because all attempts of getting Johnny's skateboard out of the tree has failed, I'm getting him a new one for Christmas. Yes it is still stuck in the tree, and by the looks of it, it's broken.
Ulric really did a number on it. It was a crappy skateboard anyway.
