Okay, so the wrap up on yesterday. So after lunch with the girls, I went and saw my lecturer about the test. I had figured out a little speech in my head about how I could persuade him to let me re-sit my test and had already accepted the fact that I’d failed miserably. All good. So, you can imagine my shock when he handed me the test paper and said “Congratulations Kate, great work”. I looked down at the mark and read ‘62%’, which really isn’t great. Turns out, however, that I got the second highest mark in the whole class. Apparently the majority of people failed, which I have recently found out. Crazy.
I was glad that I left uni feeling rather happy, because once I arrived at Emma’s, the mood totally swung in the other direction. Emma was all blotchy-eyed, and not her usual highly energetic and cheery self. The rumours were true, her and Jack had split. I really never thought they would ever break up hey. I guess you get so used to the idea of two people being together that you forget what it was like when they weren’t. I think Em realised that too. It’s been over a year since they have been together, and before that they used to constantly hook-up and date.
He had gone over to her house the night before and confessed that he’d been with other girl about a week ago. He went through that usual “I was drunk… I didn’t know what I was doing” bullshit. The rest is history. So Em and I ended up holding each other on her bedroom floor for a couple of hours before she could finally find the strength to move.
When I finally got home later that night, I actually cried. Half of the reason I think was for Emma. And the other half for myself. I realised that I had lost a friend also. After New Zealand, I felt like Jack and I had created a strong bond, that I had finally gotten to know my best friend’s boyfriend. But he wasn’t just my best friend’s boyfriend, he was also my friend. Poor Emma.
Yesterday was the first day in agesss that I haven’t seen Taj. He called last night to see if I was still awake and if he could come around, but in all honesty, I just wanted to be alone, to gather my thoughts. I’ll see him tonight sometime I think, then we can get both sides of the story (Jack is one of Taj’s old mates).
I have a feeling this is going to be a full-on week…
