Bit your lip and refrain from speaking.

Oh, reader, today was frightening.I mean, not for purposes that really seemed to involve me.Well, actually they did, but they were about my best friend Shelly.I just HAD to open my big fat mouth (or in this case, move my fingers) and nearly spoil her secret. Why can't I learn to stop meddling?!
Okay, to clear up some confusion you're probably dealing with, let me start from what had happened last night:

First of all, Shelly has a major crush on this guy we call Potato. (Potato is his code name, you see, because she's over protective of people finding out she likes him.) She likes him so much and what not, but she won't say a word to him! The most she's said was "That looks like Kyle's sweatshirt" to him when he moved her in October, or maybe it was December? I dunno. But she's only said about that much to him, and she refused to talk to him because "I'll look like a creeper, and he'll think I'm a freak!" she said. What I did not understand is how in the hell are you going to get someone to notice you if you won't converse with him? I know she's shy and all, but if you want something to happen, you've got to do SOME sort of a move! Now apparently this girl named Joan liked Potato, and there was a possibility that Potato could have liked her back. Shelly saw that they were talking and communicating in the ways that she wasn't, so last night when I was IMing her, she was all mopey. I told I her I had just about enough of this, and that since she wasn't going to do anything about it, I was going to do it for her. So I logged into Myspace and messaged Potato's friend Turkey (another code name, obviously) asking if Potato liked Joan. Turkey wrote back and said he actually didn't know, because Potato never said for sure. Here's where I made my mistake; I told Turkey that I knew someone who had strong feelings for Potato (no, of course I said his real name instead of potato), and I asked if he could keep me informed about who Potato was interested in. Turkey agreed, so I was feeling pleased with myself as I went to bed, thinking I had just done something great. Uh, wrong! The only good thing that happened today was that Joan started dating this other guy, Todd. And we were all so relieved. But during activity hour, Potato and Turkey called me over to where his group of friends were sitting and they started asking me questions about who liked him. They assumed it was either my friend Anne or Shelly, because I always hung out with them. I started to get nervous, because they had actually guessed right on Shelly. I lied and told them it was neither, but they didn't look like they bought it. And you want to know what the worst thing was? Potato's friends told me he was more happy about the fact that it was possible Anne liked him, rather than it possibly being Shelly liking him. My heart just sank when I heard that; Potato was supposed to fall for Shelly, not anyone else! Especially not Anne, who secretly likes him too! So I had to tell Shelly that Potato suspected it was her, but there was no way that I would tell her that Potato would rather have Anne like him than Shelly. In band class when I told her, I sort of began to cry in front of some people because I felt awful about ruining her chance with him. (She said before I started crying that she'll never speak to him again, and that she'll avoid him as much as possible. I think that's what made me start to cry.) I've apologized so many times to her, and you know what? She says it's not my fault and that I was just trying to be a good friend! Can you believe it? I ruined her chance with that guy, and she's still forgiving! Shelly, you are literally the best friend a person could have. I love you, pal!

I'm a bit pissy at Turkey for telling Potato what I messaged him about. That wasn't meant to be shared with other people...ugh! And you know what?! Turkey even had the audacity to SMIRK at me while he walked by my desk in English! I'm going to have to chew him out later over a strongly worded message.
Other than feeling like an awful friend, my day wasn't too terrible.Swimming was dreadful, but hey, I made it through.Science was boring, and so was math. World Geography was fun.My other classes were okay...not much excitement there.

Have I mentioned how glad I am that I have Geoff?Well, if I haven't, be sure to understand that now. The entire time during FCS, he could tell I was fighting tears because I felt badly about Shelly and Potato. He did his best to reassure me everything would be fine. I got a huge before I went in to band, and then a longer kiss after school.

Well, that took a large portion of my time. I have to go eat dinner now. I'll check in again in a day or so, but tonight I have dance pictures at my high school.
