2 Tales of Consequence

Tales OF consequence? OUTRAGEOUS.

Number One:
There is a guy at school who always seems to be in the same hallway I am. I don't know why, but he's always around. He asked me for change for the vending machine once. Naturally I've noticed the fact that BRO IS ALWAYS WHERE I AM so I look at him, and inevitably we sometimes have awkward ugh shit we just had eye contact moment.

Its kinda unenjoyable.
(Aside: My spell check is saying "unenjoyable" is not a word but considering I've been using it for years I'm gonna keep truckin' on that one.)

Today I was with Natasha at the water fountain and Hallway Guy happens to walk by. OF COURSE.
Except this time he comes up to me and says "Hey how's it going?"
WHAT?

I tell him I'm fantastical, and make note of the fact he's always around and ask if I'm supposed to know him.
Somehow he manages to turn the conversation to breakfast, and asks me why I'm eating pretzels at 8:30 in the morning.
I tell him its because I hate flavour.
I said "I only ever eat pretzels and water with a bit of sugar mixed in for zip."

"Really?" he asks.

"Alright you got me, I use Splenda."

MAKING FRIENDS IS TOUGH.

Number 2:
Yesterday I was talking with my mother about how, despite the fact I see Matt a fair amount during exam time, I am actually doing schoolwork while I'm with him.

I says to my mother, I says:
"I mean when I'm with him I'm studying, I'm not just dicking my time away."

Pause for reflection.
Have I said something wrong?
My mother apparently doesn't catch on to the inadvertent pun I've just made, but no matter, I decide to make things uncomfortable anyway by saying "Wait, okay that was a bad phrase to use."

Mother stares back at me.

OHHHH LARISSA, MASTER OF THE AWKWARD.
