What I was feeling when Daisy asked me to join her for lunch

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.
