I met a guy at a friends party who went to my school, Mark, but I'd never really noticed him before. He seemed to really like me, we talked for a very long time (I don't usually talk much, but I was pretty drunk) and at the end of the night he asked if I wanted to go with him to a christmas party he was going to on the weekend for his baseball club. I agreed to go, I wasn't going to know anyone there except for him , but what the hey!

I knew it was all going bad when he picked me up in his car with a chaperone...

He let me choose a CD to put on, but when I chose the only good one he had, Linkin Park, he skiped through all of the songs because as he said "Oh, I don't want you listening to all of those swear words." Ok then.

When we got to the party, his baseball friends were nice and some of them were pretty funny to listen to, only problem was the only thing they talked about was baseball (being an Australian girl I DO NOT know ANYTHING about baseball WHATSOEVER) so I wasn't really able to join in the conversation, but for the whole day they just kept looking at me saying "jeez you don't say much do you, come on talk! talk!" which really just makes me so uncomfortable and freeze up so I can't say hardly anything.

Anytime the conversation got to anything slightly interesting that I might care about, Mark would say to me "lets go for a walk". By this point I didn't really like him very much, he kinda creeped me out. He would just say "tell me something about you," after the millionth time he had asked, there was really not that much to say, so he would go back to saying "you don't talk much do you??"

I was in absolute boredom hell! We got there at 11am, and we stayed untill 6pm, 7 hours of NOTHING!!

There were drinks served, and everyone was having a few drinks and getting a bit tipsy, so I thought mabey that will losen me up a bit. I went to buy a drink, but Mark refused to let me, he had to buy it (I REALLY hate that whole 'man pays for the lady, opens the door for her, lets her go first' thing), so he went and bought me a bacardi. About 1/2 and hour later, Mark went off somewhere so I went to buy myself another drink. When he got back and saw me with a second drink, he sort of whispered in my ear "don't you think your going a little bit strong there? I don't want you getting drunk" I just gave him a really wierd look, as all his friends were falling around him, pissed off their heads.

Finally it was time to go! He wanted to show his friends his new car, on the way there with all his friends around, he held my hand, making a big deal about which finger was where, and saying to everyone "wow, it took me all this time to get up the nerves to hold your hand!" I could see that everyone was about to piss themselves laughing, I was SO embarrassed. Then he had to show of his really really shitty car (it was so small inside, I had to lie across the back seat cause there was no leg room - the chaperone was in the front passenger seat) to his friends, so we finished the night having to get the car jump started after the engine conked out after a burnout.
