The Knockout

This past week was pretty good for me. I am doing well in my classes and *Scott gave me a TV so I can finally watch TV in my room. My parents and little sister left on vacation to the Bahamas too. Yes, I am extremely jealous. My weekend started Thursday night. After class I went to *Scotts place to spend the weekend. We ended up playing video games until 1 a.m. Friday I had to wake up early to go visit his cousin who is studying to become a dentist at NYU. So I spent all morning there getting checked and my teeth cleaned. I was nervous because I haven’t been to the dentist and years. He took real good care of me though. When I got back to *Scotts place I caught up on missed TV. Once again *Scott and I played video games until his roommate *Florida got us to have dinner. I was excited to get more information about his breakup with his girl friend. I will make a separate post for that. Saturday, what a day, oh Saturday. The guys prepared the apartment for the Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight. *Florida had asked me who I thought would win the fight. I said, “I think Marquez is going to win because he has been working hard for a year for this fight, he doesn’t want to be embarrassed and he said the only way he would win this fight was if he knocks him down. So I am going with him.” *Scott heard none of this. During the fight, I was drinking with everyone else in the party and all I said was “come on Marquez”. *Scott turned around and was like,” Are you joking? You must be joking right now.” I didn’t say anything. Next round, knock out. I couldn’t believe it. MY heart stopped. I thought he was dead. *Florida screamed out “You got your wish Christal.. he won! ” *Scott turned to me and cursed me out under his breath and went to his room. I couldn’t believe it. I gave him about 30 minutes to cool down and talked to him about why he was upset. He said that Pacquiao was the face of the Philippines and symbol of pride for Filipinos and that was taken away in that fight. I felt like the worst girlfriend ever after that. He still gave me a kiss good night though. I didn’t mention the fight the next day. We just played video games.
