Post-Narnian stress

Nervous. That's my main emotion right now. Even though tomorrow won't change anything.. For me, it kind of will. You know those people you haven't seen for a very long time.. and they have physically changed in that time a lot, so you suddenly realize that you have no clue how you will recognize them at that place where you agreed to meet.

It's like you just spent a whole lifetime in Narnia and you wonder how has everything changed in your own world in the time. You want to look presentable, but not uptight, like yourself but in a better version. So you end up trying everything you have in your closet, go through your sisters closet (then clean it all up for she can't possibly know, she'll be so mad!) find nothing, burst into tears.. It's a tragical day for you. Your mantra is "shave shave shave" (ever tried to say that aloud very very quickly? sounds so crazy!) and you don't end up doing that at all. Since listening to your best friends story about her summer is so much more important.

Now, for tomorrow. Shave, find something to wear (is a quick shopping tour at the nearest mall too late?) and smile even if he is an asshole and talks about his break-up with his girlfriend the whole time. Be home early, blame your parents but be inside so relieved that you escaped the situation in some way very easily.
