Ambush at 1.am: just when you thought it was safe to leave your room...
Walking to the computer room after midnight to work on my essay I notice Adam is sitting out there in the quad with Nathan. Both are wearing suits.
"Sit down Minega" Adam says pulling a chair for me and refering to me as 'my beloved friend'. I mention this because in light of what happened over the next twenty minutes, that expression was clearly meant to be sarcastic. He's just got back from the boat party with a James Bond theme thus the suit. He is thoroughly drunk and not done drinking just yet. We make idle chit-chat for a while and then Adam suddenly asks why we have all been ignoring him.
"It's been four weeks since I got back from Cambridge" He says "And no one- not you, not Vid, not Rich- have knocked on my door to see me. Not one of you has come to sit with me at dinner."
And then he starts off a slurred speech about the way we've all decided to stick with Quena and treat him like shit and he just goes on and on. Nathan tells him he's acting like a selfish jerk and then gets up and leaves so I'm stuck there with Adam. I try to defend myself and reassure him that we haven't all decided to gang up on him and that no, we dont think he's shit.
"Well you do" He insists and he is being completely serious "How many times have you guys been hanging out with Quena? Everyday, all the time. How many times have you come to see me or sat with me in the last four weeks? Not one. I had all these people I thought were my friends...."
He's not really listening to me, our drunk friend. What's worse he is raising his voice. We are sitting out in the quad and people can almost certainly hear him.
And even worse, he goes back to the Quena breakup thing "I know you guys are closer to her and all that but...the fact that you just accepted the way she treated me...she treated me like SHIT! And you all just said 'well, there's nothing we can do'How can you hang out with someone who treats a friend of yours in that way? At the end of the day I really loved her, and you can't compare our actions and say 'oh Adam was an asshole and Quena was a bitch' she was the one totally wrong!"
I explain, but it's a waste of time. The guy has made up his mind.
"You guys have all decided I mean nothing to you..it's obvious. Your'e talking about being busy, but being too busy to give me a knock for a few seconds just shows you don't give a shit- that's the only conclusion any sensible person would draw"
He saves his best for last. Getting unsteadily to his feet, he says "Well it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, Quena is shit, you are shit, Vid is shit and Rich is shit. You all mean nothing to me and that's all there is to it"
And then he turns around and makes probably the most ungraceful exit in history.
This is not going to be his finest moment.
