What a presumptious little...
Back to school today. Boy was that fun. David (Red-hair) accosted me before first period, while I was on my way to see Katie. Got my new schedule in Alpha Homeroom and got to see Aaron. He didn't see me. Got to fight past loads of people who had A) not been at school for two and a half weeks and had forgotten where they were supposed to be going and how they were supposed to be getting there and B) Have Homeroom maybe five times a year and can't figure out how to get from point A to point First Period when the bell rings. They weren't the only ones, lemme tell ya.
First period: Played Jeopardy, got some candy, lost to the other team. We also got new seats. No more Furnare!! WAAAIIII!
Second period: Blair got a new car for Christmas, a gift from Daddy Dearest! Awww! Like we all really wanted to know that, or cared. Then we had a writing assignment. Joyousness. Gave Book Thongs to Emily, Jackie, and Danielle because Emily liked them and I found one that Jackie would like and I didn't want Danielle to feel left out. I still have my two, though. I got a new one for me that has a newt on it - a newt just like me! ^_____^
Third period: Was called on twice, but don't seem to remember ever raising my hand. I never do, though, because when I do she refuses to call on me. She'd rather pick on and embarass some poor sap who doesn't know the answer and (ironically) doesn't know the answer, because she knows they don't know it. Didn't want to be there. I don't like reading out loud. Why am I the only person who can't seem to do it? Why does my mouth always fill up really quickly with spit and make me sound all thick while I'm trying to swallow before I start drooling all over everything? And why can't Rieniets just let me get to the end of the selection before throwing in her two-bits and then just stopping and waiting for me to continue without ever asking me to?
Fourth Period: Saw Aaron on the way there. Sighting #2. Got a new class! YAY! ...not really... I mean, I did get a new class, but I'm not really very happy about it. Personal Fitness. I might join the Walking Club, though. Maybe. I'm sitting next to Evan.
Fifth Period: Got some homework. Eavesdropped on pretty much everyone around me all period long and spent a lot of time laughing, either at Mr. Honsa or at Dillon because Katie Anderson said something incredibly (yet typically) stupid. I noticed that Ryan had a scab on his hand and that he was very pale and didn't look so good. He talked about how he tried to sleep in a car trunk because the seats were all occupied and he wouldn't share the front with Zach who said he was gay. He said his feet were very cold and he had no blanket, and he couldn't feel his feet for two days afterward and thought that he was going to lose them. Rocky said hello to me at lunch, and as an afterthought I nearly had a coronary. Rocky rarely speaks to me, even when I'm standing right in front of him. For the High-and-Mighty Lord of the Anime Club to condescend to speak to me was nearly unthinkable. I'm sure it must be a crime of some sort. Brett talked to me after lunch and asked if I knew anyone who wanted his Katana set. Oohh, Happy Birthday to me...I said yes, I'd take them. He'll be stopping by sometime after five this afternoon to drop them off.
Sixth period: New seats mean that I'm in front of Lindsay, behind Miles, and next to Gabe. That means that Miles and Gabie are my lab partners. Gabe won't stick with us, though. He and Kellen and Sassy and Julie always do their own thing. I forgot my planner (and the periodic table therein) so I couldn't do our classwork. Crud. Whatever.
Seventh period: Oh, this is a good one. We organized our slides today. First off, I never got a good slide sheet the last time she bought some. Everyone else got them first. Ryan didn't get any either, but he didn't need them at the time. Same with Kyle. Since I needed them, Forsythe gave me an industrial slide sheet torn in half. I don't know how to explain it except that they're not as neat and they're really long (until you tear them in half.) So we're all up by her desk, and a few of us need the slide sheets, and she opens the package and lays it down and basically says "Have at it!" Rocky was standing right next to me. Rocky got two of his slide sheets the last time around, so he was not necessarily a priority except in his own mind. Because he's a spoiled rotten little Mamma's Boy. So I grabbed up the slides. Now, how was he to know that I wasn't gonna get some for myself? I wasn't (at that exact second), but someone else needed them. And he's reaching for them like I grabbed the package for him! So I move them out of his reach and he follows and I move them around him back to where I was trying to get them...and I hand them to Ryan. If Rocky didn't speak to me before, he sure as heck isn't going to now. I don't really care, though, because that's part of the point. Rocky doesn't speak to me half of the time. Maybe sometimes he says "thanks" to me for holding the door. Ryan always thanks me - for everything - and always speaks to me, and always says hello to me if he sees me. If I'm standing in front of Ryan for more than twenty seconds, he'll have a conversation with me - NOT try to ignore me in hopes that I'll go away. So Ryan's my priority, and I'll look out for him. Rocky is not my priority. That's not to say that I won't look out for him if he needs it, but he certainly didn't need it this time. Poor Ryan was just being pushed out of the way, like I usually am. He was all confused, like I usually am. I know that I usually want some help when I'm like that, so I tried to be the help that I usually need for myself. It doesn't hurt that Ryan's one of my favorites anyway. Then Brandon came over to get his sheets and took them away from Ryan (who, fortunately, had already gotten his), but at least he had the courtesy to offer them to me afterward. I helped Ryan to assemble his sheets properly. I felt useful. Then I asked how his hand was, and he had no idea how I knew. Okay, maybe no-one else saw you messing with the scab, but those are the kinds of things I see. I make it my business to know them. Thank you, and have a good evening while I do my homework.
