There is this guy I know named “Jeff” the same exact “Jeff” from this incident , I say that only for reference because for the most part that entire thing has been left in the past because everybody involved has apologized.
Since then Jeff has declared himself my “best friend” but that couldn’t be further from the truth partly because I have tried to find things we both have in common but unfortunately that has not been easy, our lack of common interests does not seem to deter Jeff from seeking me out to kick it with him on a daily basis.
Jeff is very big yet is really good at this game called dance revolution and I like the game too but Jeff will go to the arcade and play for hours on that one game. I was so bored the last time I went with Jeff to play that game much the same way he wasn’t feeling the Underground Hip Hop show I took him to.
It has been only in the past few weeks that he has began coming over to my house almost every single day and my mother thinks it is so great that we are “friends”, and that I am his first “real friend” I guess. He has been coming over after school and staying until 9 or later and the only time he will leave is when his dad calls looking for him.
One time Jeff got hold of an old camera that was in my closet, the fact he had the camera was not a big deal at all but since he had to go in the back of my closet and take it out of a metal box got me pissed because he was snooping around in my room when I wasn’t with him and that wasn’t the first time. I wanted to say “stay out of my freakin’ closet and go home” and I did but in a nicer way, I said “I’m really tired, could you leave?” and he comes up talking about how it was still early and all this other crap about how he stays up until 2 in the morning and gets up at 6. Apparently Jeff also has a rare disease where if he stops talking for more than 10 seconds he will die, he talks so much that 90 per cent of what he says sounds like he is an adult in a Charlie Brown cartoon.
I have other friends and it seems like Jeff doesn’t so sometimes I will invite him along when I am with those other friends and what will end up happening is that he will say something really off the wall, that has nothing to do with anything. Kind of like the time Peter Griffin said “You know what I haven’t had in a while… Big League Chew.” Well not exactly but anyway some people will START teasing him and the more they tease him the angrier he gets and the angrier he gets the more other people will laugh. I either end up sticking up for him or holding him back, Jeff does not get along with most of my friends and that is a bit of a problem.
While Jeff does go to my school I actually don’t see him that much at school different schedules I suppose, whatever reason it is I am glad because I would have said something I would have regretted by now if I had to see him all day at school too.
Today Jeff gave me a gift a 20 dollar gift certificate to the mall, 20 bucks! That may not sound like a lot of money but 20 dollars spent on me and I truthfully can’t stand to be around the guy for more than 20 minutes. He told me he gave it to me because I was his best friend and he doesn’t expect anything in return…damn.
What do I do with my loud and obnoxious “friend”? I actually would like to be his buddy but no matter how hard I try I can’t find something we both like and every time he comes around after a few minutes I want him to leave and what happens sometimes is I will say something and hurt his feelings and then later feel like crap and end up apologizing and he will say “don’t worry about it” and go right back to his annoying self. I do not think he can change because it is his personality, it is not a good thing or a bad thing it is just him and I just believe that some personality types don’t fit together, it’s true not everyone likes me.
I am not sure what to do, I’m just not the kind of guy who would tell someone that I don’t want them around me and I don’t think it would be right but I do need a way to tell him that if he wants to hang around me that he needs to tone it down…suggestions anyone?
