This Time Was Different?

The title, it's a line from my song but it wasn't a question in my song. The song I just replayed for the 30th time in the past 24 hours. So last night was not as bad as it could've been, I guess. So Lucas called me in the middle of me yelling at Ginger about how awful my friends are. He said he was sorry and other things that are not appropriate for the whole family. So I agreed to come over and we all realized the stupid mistakes me made and shockingly made everything right. Auggie was saying that Riley was not the cruel we assumed she was. He really believed it. Lucas was being normal to Farkle, like episodes and he was soooo happy. This time was different! I smiled. Then we did that stupid old (no, it is seriously getting old) boys and girls challenge. We actually made it through pre-round. It was such a shock! I actually got to meaningfully go for once. But continuing to round 1 was a big mistake. Farkle and Riley went into round 1 and did it properly and completed it too. Normal, right? They will never get through less rounds than we do, common sense. I didn't have to talk to Riley at all, so that is why I agreed to come over and I considered it "going to Auggie's house" so I was okay. Then in between round 1, Riley started crying and she does it everytime there is a break between 2 groups going. So, I was sick of her taking my turn up and making it about her, so I annoyingly slapped my head in annoyance. Here comes a miracle. Lucas stuck up for...Riley! OMG, miracles!!! Miracle? No. Totally predictable outcome? Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! So I was shocked, actually for once not expecting that. So I turned away, my turn was abolished and it was all over. Then I had my back, crying for a couple minutes and after that, this is the stupidest move of the night. Nobody said a thing. Then Lucas accused Farkle of going with me. What the talc!?! (Talc? Oh forget it for now!) So Farkle was highly offended, he didn't do a single thing to make anyone believe he was helping me. Riley was just as much helping me as Farkle was. Even Lucas himself was. So Farkle defended his and Riley's case and we went to bed like that. Awfully in that case. This time was different? No, it was exactly how it was last time. Broken. Then this morning, me and Riley started havick and she took Lucas on her team, tote's predic's. So I took Farkle? Nope. I knew that was no solution. I took Auggie. And we were like that for the rest of the time. So, that is how it is. Exactly how it was before. This time was different? No.
