How About Some Exposition?

Hi, I'm Scarlett. In the most basic terms: I like this guy named Antonio, and he might like me back. Sounds just peachy, right? Well....the twist is, my friend Ethel ALSO likes Antonio. As you can imagine, I'm not very happy about this, in fact I'm so mad I could spit..or kick something. Something you should know about me is that I'm not someone who ends up in the middle of fights over guys. I don't even usually put that much effort into someone that I would care that much. But this was MY guy. I liked him first. And while Ethel didn't exactly know that...it's very unfair to me. Because now I can't take this at my usual, get-to-know-you-then-move-into-boyfriend-stage page. Now I'm forced to compete. Although I know the competition won't be difficult (a mutual friend, Petunia, has told me he thinks I'm funny and thinks Ethel is spazzy and annoying) it's maddening because her style of "game" could completely throw mine off. Ethel is the type that likes to make things move fast. And she's forward. Too forward. She's basically already confessed her love for him by asking him to his face if he liked anyone. And not to mention on his Formspring too. I'm not like this. At all. But I'm worried that when compared to her, my efforts will seem like nothing and he won't even see that I'm interested. THAT is why I have to compete and step up my game. I will not allow Ethel to walk all over me anymore. Because I am Scarlet: Won't-be-walked-all-over-crazy-mad-woman. Don't mess with me. As of yet I'm still trying to figure out my plan of action. Stay tuned (; Scarlett
