Cup Eve last year...
My (now ex) boyfriend
who doesn't own a mobile phone had an exam on Cup Day, so I thought I'd stay out of his way and go to Dave Seaman.
We had tentative plans for after his exam, so I called his place at about 9pm to see how he was going etc.
Anyway his mum says 'Oh he's out and said that he'd go to your house afterwards and stay there tonight'. He's a pretty vague dude so that is a realistic possibility. Anyway I give my mum a call and told her 'If he comes home tell him to call me'. He didn't call, so I assumed he'd realised I wasn't home, gotten to his place late, blah blah blah.
Dave Seaman was awesome. Afterwards I went to a friends house and continued the fun...
At about 2pm I call his place, thinking that he'd be home from his exam. And his mum says 'No he's not here, and he didn't come home last night' so I call my mum and she says 'No, he hasn't been here either'.
I wait a while longer and then I start to worry, because his exam was at 9am and he still hasn't shown up anywhere, or called, and he's not the type of guy who just disappears like that. Even my friend is starting to worry.
I ring all his friends and no one has seen him.
I call his mum (who, for the record, is a bit of a stress freak, which didn't make me any calmer) again and she decides to ring uni, to check that he was at his exam. After about an hour and a half she calls me back, and says that he wasn't at his exam.
So I get hysterical and call my parents and my dad meets me at boyfriends house, where we just don't know what to do. I'm imagining him dead in a gutter somewhere and other horrific things.
Dad and I head over to the uni in case by chance he's there, while his mum rings the police.
We get to uni at 8:30pm and I head to the library, where my boyfriend is happily packing up his books and getting ready to head home
HE WAS IN SO MUCH TROUBLE.
Turns out that he'd been at a friends place studying and
did remember that I was going out,
did go to his exam, but the dickhead administration staff made a mistake, and everything was fine.
