I was a tad anxious because I knew that other people were going to be there such as Gatsby and Tom. I felt that it was going to be interesting though. I was excited to see what would happen between everyone. I am always in the mood for a good story or showdown, should one happen. I like being in the loop and this was the perfect opportunity. I was a little shocked though that Daisy would be so bold as to do something like this. It was a little out there and definitely risky. At this point the game, I am just along for the ride and I definitely want to be there for all the action. I could feel that something was going to happen. It was in the air like electricity and I wanted it.

What I was thinking when Nick asked me to dinner
I didn't want to do this, but I agreed because he was nice and I was his friend. So it was only polite for me to agree to have dinner with him. I know that I should probably give him a chance at least, but I just couldn't bring myself to want to go. He and I were just friends and that is all I could see us as ever being. On the other hand, it was just one night and I had nothing to lose. I told myself that I should just have fun and enjoy myself. It wasn't like I could ever tell Nick that I didn't want to go out with him. He was cousins with Daisy and I was her friend. As much as she wanted us together, it would never happen. I just wanted to mess around with him and have a little fun. I think that he and I both knew it would never go anywhere, even if we got caught up in the moment.
Why I stayed at Daisy's house so much
Truthfully, I liked staying at Daisy's house because that was the environment I was so used to. This was the life I enjoyed: the big house, the sophisticated mannerisms, and the rich. It was what I wanted and what I had always been around. I looked up to Daisy when we were younger. In fact, I still do. I am glad that we are friends and that I could stay with her at her house. And another thing, staying with her gave me great access to Gatsby's parties, which were huge social hubs. I like staying in the know and this was a perfect opportunity to do just that. There are so many things that I would not have learned or would not been exposed to had I not had been living with Daisy. These opportunities could easily have passed me by. Staying at Daisy's house also got me introduced to Nick Carraway. I would not have had the great friendship that I have now with him if it were not for Daisy and me being at her house.

Why I, revealed to Nick what Gatsby told me the night of that party
I felt strongly
that, if I was going to tell anyone about what Gatsby told me, then it would
have been Nick. Besides, it involves him anyway. Gatsby wanted him to invite
Daisy to his house so that way Daisy will be forced to meet with him. I told
him the story of when Daisy and I were younger. I wanted him to see the whole
story of all of us, meaning Daisy and Gatsby and even myself. I guess you could say that it was the skeptic
in me, but I never though that this little plan would work out. To me, it
seemed that Gatsby was jumping the gun and getting ahead of himself. I wanted
to see where this whole thing would go, so that's why I forewarned Nick of
Gatsby's request.
What I was feeling, when Gatsby asked to meet with me at his party
I was nervous and
apprehensive. I didn't, for the life of me, know what he wanted. I couldn't
even begin to guess! I was quite shocked when it happened. I remember looking
towards Nick and thinking, "What on earth could Mr. Gatsby want?." I
was almost scared, but I wanted to remain composed. I didn't want to mess this
chance up. I mean, really how often would this happen? I felt rather strange
being singled out like this. I mean here I was being singled out by the very
man who threw these enormous parties. Not that I was shy to attention. I was so
curious as to what he wanted to tell me, it was eating away at me. This was
going to be something big, and I could feel it.
What I was thinking, when I first met Nick Caraway
I was curious,
although I didn't show it. I wanted to observe from a distance. He seemed like
a decent guy, too clever to get close to though. He would make a great friend.
He seems a bit on the shyer side and quite out of the loop. When we were at
dinner and Daisy and Tom went inside for a moment, I explained to him about
Tom's mistress. He seem a tad shocked. He intrigues me, but not in a romantic
way. He's almost like all the other guy I mess with…..almost.
