Romance is in the air...

Maybe it's the warmer weather, but everything seems to be tinted with amore.
Today, me, Leo, Silver, Strawberry, Violet, and Zucker went to a water park together. Leo, Silver, and I were excited, because we knew that Zucker was going to ask Violet to the 8th grade Farewell Dance today. Leo and Silver only knew because I told them, and I ended up telling Strawberry about half an hour later, because I couldn't stand having her not know. She started jumping up and down and screaming, and Zucker shot me a death glare.
Later, we decided to go onto the huge water slide, the one that had tubes able to fit five people at a time. Unfortunately, there were six of us, so we didn't have any choice besides splitting into two groups. These are the groups I suggested: me, Leo, Silver, and Strawberry; then Zucker and Violet. I had to give him some sort of opportunity sooner or later, after all. Violet pretended to be upset at us for abandoning her, and I think she could tell something was going on, but she went along with it. My group went first, screaming the entire way, and at the bottom we stopped and waited for Violet and Zucker. To our disappointment, they came out looking totally bored.
This time I gave Zucker a death glare, because I had given him a chance to ask Violet, and he screwed it up. We were arguing about boredom on water rides (we can form an argument out of pretty much anything) when he whispered in my ear "But the good news is, now Violet's my date to the dance."
I had a Strawberry moment. I screamed in his ear and did a mini dance while hopping up and down. They spent most of the next three hours alone together. We lapped them in the lazy river, because they were so caught up in talking, and they continued to go on the water slides alone together. To be honest, it was bittersweet. More sweet than bitter though. I was happy that Zucker finally got the courage to do something about his year-long, if not longer, crush on Violet. And I'm also happy for Violet, who's one of my best friends and deserves to go to the dance with a nice guy. But, I'm just the teeniest bit jealous, because while they've spent the entire day completly absorbed in each other, I was reminded about how alone and boyless I am. No biggie, though. It's great that it happened at last. Seriously, it's about time.
What happened last night will also take a while to explain, so...
