Heya tempers,
Been a while since I've been posting. I grew bored from this place since schoolwork and recording started eating away at my free time. How I re-enter the Temp? How about a freaking teen drama:
So this story mostly involves myself (16), my friend (girl, 17) and my cousin (male, 14)
About four years ago, I first met my friend. She was the only one who I could connect to for a while because she's Latin American, like myself. She's nice, although she has always and most likely always will be a weeaboo and a fashioncore girl. Attraction level VERY LOW because I have a severe disliking towards both weeaboos and fashioncore people. Around this time, I appeared as a role model for my cousin, and I got his interest into music and some of his finer qualities.
1½ years ago, she broke up with her ex. He was one year younger than her, and his family disliked her because she was annoying, as each one of them put it (he's a friend of mine). It puts me in a slightly awkward position where she expects me to call him a pussy for them breaking it off, while the ex asks me for some emotional support and some motivation so that he doesn't turn depressed. I somehow manage to keep them awway from killing each other, and helping him out.
About three weeks after this, my cousin and her both develop a crush on each other, and eventually decide to be a couple. This puts me in an even worse interpersonal position because my cousin is very, very close to me (not just because of family), and I was still a good friend with her. I didn't first even think this would be an issue, because I thought she was on the rebound.
She wasn't. They've been together for the past year.
In that year, she managed to convert my cousin into a fashioncore idiot who dyes his hair, wears shitty metalcore tees all the time, and develop him into weabooism. He becomes the epitome of the label fashioncore and weeaboo. By now, I've lost most of my respect for him because of this, and because I have a strong belief against labelling, as he once did. He's learnt how to become his girlfriend, and that is just freaky.
Because of this, they go everywhere together. She's even been to our family reunions at my grandfather's apartment (a man at 80-some years, missing one leg, with dementia and severe diabetes). My family dislike her for her living up to labels (we support free thought more than sheep-like behavior), and yet because of my cousin and his parents carelessness, she might just show up at my brother's graduation party: Something we ALL know would not end up a fun party.
What's worse is that he doesn't seem to acknowledge the hint I'm giving him that he's losing a lot of my respect. His girlfriend does, meaning she loses respect for me. They still invite me over to his house to hang out sometimes, BOTH OF THEM. I know they both like my company, but I truly despise being the third wheel there. Sometimes, I just want to hang out with my cousin and not with his girlfriend. That's become impossible, and I find them horribly dull when I'm with them.
While they may wishfully think that I'm fine with them canoodling while I'm there, it's just what it is, wishful. I have for days now pondered how on Earth I will deal with this. I can't tell my cousin I don't want to hang out with his girlfriend because they would both just take offense.
So, in summary: Great weeaboo fashioncore friend dates cousin, makes him prick weeaboo fashioncore. Both want me to hang out with them, making me third wheel. What do, Temp?
