How I met Cathy Nguyen

Year 9
I was sitting on the wooden seats in 'Dono's Turf'. Just sitting and lost in my own thoughts with Jessica and the boys. Then out of no where two girls (Winnie and Cathy from the "five petals") came up to our group BEGGING for some money because they claim that they are hungry and wanted some money to buy food. So they asked all the boys first, logically they said no. Then Cathy asked Jessica for some money. I happened to overheard this conversation and thought

"well Cathy is my Music class and she is Jess's and Catrina's friend and I have $15, so I can spare $5 for her."

Hence I gave her the $5 so she could buy stir fry, assuming. She even thanked me and said she'll pay me back next time. This happened on a Wednesday because lunch money for me works $5 for each day.

So Friday came and obviously, I was $5 short for my lunch. At lunch I came across Catrina walking back from E block and I asked her to ask Cathy for me whether or not she has $5. I'm pretty sure I even added, "it's OK if she doesn't". And Catrina Replied "No worries I'll get it".

Afterwards I simply just went back and sat at Dono's Turf, forgetting about lunch after awhile.

...SUDDENLY...

Two Girls (Winnie and Cathy) came up to me at the table and

Cathy: "WHAT THE FUCK? WHY DO YOU NEED YOUR $5 FOR HUH?!"
Winnie: "YEAH HUH?!!"
Me: "What...what.. WHat, I gave you $5 and I want to eat!"
Cathy: "WHAT THE FUCK? LOOK AT US! We're skinny and we don't need to fucking eat-
Me: Well... that's... you!
Cathy: -And you're skinny so you NEED TO FUCKING EAT TO ALRIGHT
Winnie: That's RIGHT!
Me: Fine!Fine!Fine that's...ok...
OMG what a fucking whore, fucking slut who does she think she is?! (Random letters! ALKSDJLAKSJDASKLJLSAKJ)

That's How I met Cathy...and now to How we became Friends...

So, For awhile, I haven't really heard or talk to/about Cathy. All she was to me was this, one-tall mean SKINNY ASS bitch. Until one day at home...

Mum: Do you know someone named Cathy?
Me: Yeah...
Mum: Isn't she a nice girl. I met her mum at Tafe. They both must be good singers.
Me: Yeah She's in my music class and she sings
Mum: She must be smart too, is she in any of your classes?
Me: No. Only Music and drama... I hate her, She's such a ... ... ... ... mean person!
Mum: Really? Her mother is nice and she seems like a nice girl.
Me: No... I hate her, she's not nice.

Couple days later in Music class . . .
*teacher reads out roll*
Cathy: OMFG! YOu're the Danny that she's talking about!
Me: ... ?
Cathy: OMFG, I thought it was DAnny nguyen but OMFG its you my mum was talking about!
OMFG our mums met!!
Me: LOL yeah I know
Cathy: OMG I swear you better not tell my mum What I get up to in school I swear! Oh MY Goddd.
Me: LOL, it's ok! I won't say anything, trust me!
(OGM Bahahahs I got this bitch under my control finally bahahas! but and I never did)

Cathy: Omg. you looked so evil when you said that ..
Me: ...

So Pretty much from there on we were nicer to each as we got to know each other a bit more. Usually when I'm waiting to get picked up I usually wait in front of her house and she'd invite me in. She also makes me run out of music classes and steal food from the music staffroom, which we still do today. Seriously, They have some of the nice snacks. YUM!
