bell jar 3

Esther secretly liked Buddy, but never really talked to him because she was to shy and too afraid too. But then one day Buddy stopped by Esther's home, like he had promised at Christmas, he asked her to the prom at the college that he went to, Yale. Esther really, really like Buddy, but wishes that he would be honest with her. Buddy had been sleeping around with this waitress gal, and completely covering it up, acting like he was the most gentlemanly human being on the planet. He even acted like he was more innocent than Esther, which is not true at all. Esther, just like always, does not really care about this, and just wishes that Buddy would act like himself, and not put on a personality for her. Esther, although, did like how Buddy treated her. He treated her like she was the most experienced one in the relationship, even though she knew it wasn't true. He acted like she was in control, and she liked this because it made her feel a lot better about herself. She liked the idea of being in control. It made her really pissed off when she found out that she was not as experienced as Buddy. She wanted to be the experienced one, but she wasn't so, she broke up with him.
