Okay so, I (16F) have a girlfriend (17F) who doesn’t go to my school. I don’t get to see her often because of that, so any time I do have with her is important to me.
Anyways, she’s in band. If you know anything about school band or chorus, they usually have 2 concerts a year. Typically one in the winter and one in the spring. Usually band and chorus go on the same day, and are typically 40 minutes – 1 hour long.
A few days ago was my girlfriend’s winter concert. It was at 7pm, and neither of my parents could give me a ride because they both had things to do. I had asked my friend (16F) if she and her mom could give me a ride, and that I would pay her cash to make up for the gas. She agreed, and said she would come get me at 6:30 because my girlfriend’s school is about 20ish minutes from where I live.
Well, 6:30 rolls around and she doesn’t show up. She hadn’t even left her house yet. By the time she texted me and said she was on her way, it was almost 6:50. She didn’t get to my house until a few minutes past 7, and because the school was so far from me we missed half of the thing.
Her explanation was that her mom decided to take a doordash type job right before getting me because the drop off was two minutes away from my house. I understand that it’s important, but I was still a bit frustrated that she was so late. I missed more than half of my girlfriend’s concert because of it. I still got to see her, which I’m very grateful for. I’m just disappointed about what happened.
Either way, I didn’t say anything to my friend about it because I felt bad for complaining after she went out of her way to give me a ride. But I just want to know if I’m in the wrong for being frustrated that she was so late.
Edit: A lot of people are saying this so I’m just putting this here. I can’t use uber or anything like that. My parents don’t allow me to.
