Middle school. Why was it so complicated? Just this August, I was so excited to enter KFS middle school (Korea Foreign School). But now? I made friends with Irina, my enemy, because I was drunk on the thought of a 'fresh start'. Well, that was a big mistake. I disliked Irina because she was always wearing a scowl on her face and glaring at us all like she was better than us or something. TBH, she couldn't even speak English that well, so I don't know how she passed the entrance exam. Irina was a big fat gossip, spreading rumors about everyone. But as I made friends with Irina, I found out we had three classes out of eight together. My locker was 175 and hers was 176. So naturally, I was besties with her. Irina was relatable, but unstable. All she did when we were together was gossip, and when other kids were around, she ran off to them. I was an unpopular extrovert, and always wondered why. I had good grades, I wasn't too ugly, just pretty decent. I was really nice (at least to my friends) and shared snacks and stationary. Not to mention, I was really loyal. I was basically the mother hen of the group. I had NEVER gossiped about anyone before until I met Irina.
Irina was a big gossip and she pressured me into gossiping too. If I didn't react, she would be all "What the actual f*ck is wrong with you?" And ignore me for a week. Basically, just like Kathy from mean girls that hung out with the wrong people and was trained into talking about Regina, I was trained into gossiping. Since Irina was popular, I gained a lot of friends. For some reason, Abigail didn't like that. Then she ignored me and gave me the silent treatment for gossiping too much, but honestly I think she was jealous that she wasn't the only friend I had in my life. Plus, Abigail always joined in the gossiping and actively ran to me to update on the news about Sophiana, Anna, and her best friend.
"Sophiana is soooo stupid! She pretended to take notes and just doodled, So Ms. Sue snatched it from her and read it to the entire class. By the way, did you see her nose job? SO botched. Blah blah yak yak doodle da doo-"
"Stop it, Abigail. Ms. Sue is a really nice teacher from first grade."
"ㅇㅉㅌㅂ." Gosh, I forgot Abigail was really rough!
Anyways, I know gossiping along with my so-called-'Friends' was wrong, but honestly, I never intended to do it. I felt like Ally from fish in a tree, when she told her mom that there were mean kids in school and she was one of them. Irina was still the cruelest, toying with Anna's emotions. Hey, I'm not a fan of Anna, but still, she's human, and she has feelings! Anna was obsessed with Irina, who pretended to be her friend while gossiping about her and being passive aggressive towards her. Then a month ago, Irina sent a message to Anna. It was something like, "You are stupid, ugly, and mean. You're a psychopath that goes to the mental hospital. I don't want to be your 'bestie' anymore. Take care and take your meds!". Then when Anna's father reported it to the principal, Irina said I STOLE HER PHONE and SENT THE MESSAGE! Thankfully, Mr. Carson, the vice principal, proved that I didn't, so Irina said that ADELE sent the message. Me and Adele are so p!ssed at her. Also, Irina gossiped about Adele for 'pretending to be cute'. Irina, Adele IS cute, pretty, AND talented, and it's a FACT so wake up! Adele is still laying low and talking to Irina even if she is still an evil snake. I hope Adele can hold it till the end of the year!
Anyways, after that incident, Irina told Sophia, the kid from my preschool, to stop hanging out with me. Honestly, They make a great couple: Remember how Sophia gossiped about everyone to everyone in the 5th grade? Well, Ms. Gossip and Ms. Gossip can gossip away happily over a chocolate-chip cookie for all I care. I just thought Sophia was better than this.
Sophia is dating this nice dude from 5th grade, and he's pretty nice and funny. Emmy remarks that such a nice guy has been wasted on a b!tch like Sophia. I giggled and told Emmy to stop swearing but secretly agreed. Thank you, next Irina. Lesson learned: Irina is a two-faced snake that will easily betray you with a flick of a hand, or a blink of an eye.
Present day, Irina tries to start conversations with me, and when I reply, she starts to treat me like an animal:
"Scarlett, dogs or cats?"
"Cats."
"WTF is wrong with you?!"
"I'm sure it's called 'TASTE'. Ever heard of it?" But I said that last sentence in my head.
Irina now has lunch with Abigail, Kanya, Isabella, Sophia, and I forgot his name. I have lunch with Sierra, Yuki, and Sage. But the problem is, Sierra used to bully Hanbi, and now she's being passive aggressive to Yuki, apologizes, and the end. She is also very very slightly passive aggressive to me. Honestly, I think it's because of the time when Sierra acted as Queen Bee and said:
"Scarlett, get me my water bottle."
"Go get it yourself. This isn't hotel room service."
"Ohmygod, I thought we were FRIENDS!"
"Us? Friends?"
"Ugh, it's just a water bottle! It's a meter away from you! Just get it."
"If it's just a water bottle a meter away, get it YOURSELF!"
"Ugh. I wasn't thirsty anyway. Whatever."
"You know you have won when they say whatever."
Or the time I brought Doritos over.
"Gimme some!" She yelled.
"Molon labe."
"What does that mean?"
"Come and get them in greek" I said, exasperated.
"God, your such a nerd." Sierra exclaimed. I had to admit, I was bit of a nerd, and was a sucker for history, social studies, and English (oooh).
"Tnx 4 calling me smart." I told her. Sierra glared at me and tried to snatch a chip, but I sidestepped and she LITERALLY FELL. IN THE SANDBOX! Now, if you are new here, let me tell you: I have been extremely lucky since I was a child, and timing is ALWAYS on my side. What happened next is not exactly pretty, so I'll stop.
My break started yesterday, so I'll be at ski camp at Yong pyong ski resort on monday. Don't be surprised by me inhaling a chicken wing! I eat a LOT (this is how I grew 12 cm compared to last year December). I have black cat-eyes and black hair, and my skin is very fair. I will be wearing black pants and a orange with black and white stripes jacket from fusalp, so if you see me, say Hi :). Tnx 4 reading, byeeee. Also, I might update in 3-5 days, so be patient pls.
