What I Was Feeling At Gatsby's Party...

We got an invitation, so we decided to go. I wish I hadn't of gone. There was so much alcohol. It was truly an uncomfortable situation. I didn't know what to think, much less feel. I don't like Gatsby, much less the parties he throws. I wouldn't go as far to say that I hate him, but I do strongly dislike him. Every time I am around him, granted, that hasn't really been often, I get a bad feeling. At his party, I felt so out of place. I was surrounded by people who pretend to be extravagant but drank as if there was no tomorrow. I was the only true gentleman at that house. While I consumed alcohol, I wasn't overdoing it. I know how to act. I didn't feel comfortable with everyone stumbling around like a drunken mess. Instead of loosening up like most people do at parties, I just got more and more tense. I didn't have that feeling of ecstasy or excitement, I was almost bored.  The only reason I went was to keep an eye on Daisy. I then did something I almost, and I mean almost, regret. I told Daisy that Gatsby had gained his money by bootlegging. She didn't believe me and just said that it came from his chain of drugstores. This upset her and that is why I almost regret what I said. But if it keeps her away from Gatsby then I am ok with it. Even though I felt out of place, I kept Daisy from Gatsby and it was worth it.
