My crazy Middle School life

Ski camp update

I just got back from ski camp, my legs hurt like heck. I took a 6:20 am bus to Yong Pyong ski resort. And then I did nothing but ski for 5 days, and on the sixth day I took a test and got LEVEL 2! I wanted level 3 btw. I have never skied before cause I was afraid. I was in a dorm with 2 other girls. One was 15 and the other was 10. The 15 year old girly Hyunna Lee was tall with shoulder length hair. She had an extremely big face and extremely small eyes. She was sarcastic, sometimes cringy, and took a long time to finish showering. Overall she was relatable and nice, easygoing but always tired. She went to CMSI, another middle school.

The 10 year old, Dahyeon was the complete opposite of easygoing Hyunna. Dahyeon was always bragging about her families money in the most RIDICULOUS ways possible. She told me that she had a dentist appointment every day 365 times a year, from 4-6 pm, and each appointment cost 100,000 won, about $100. She said that that was how her retainer cost 100,000,000 won a year. Excuse me, first that is enough money to buy a small building, missy, and second, 100,000 won times 100,000,000 won is literally 36,500,000 won. The idiot can't even do basic math as a THIRD GRADER who claims her IQ is 150. In my opinion, she has the equivalent IQ of a chewed wad of strawberry-flavored bubble gum. Then the next day, the hypocrite tries to tell me she doesn't wear retainers. Huh? 

Then she told me that she had math hagwon every day from 4 pm to 10 pm, and english hagwon every saturday and sunday from 6 am to 5 pm, and science tutouring from 6 pm to 10 pm. Then she had history from 11 pm to 2 am. This little girl was running on two hours of sleep everyday! WTF?!! I then asked her, what about your dentist appointments from 4-6pm?! And then she glared at me, and says this: "I TOLD YOU I DON'T HAVE A RETAINER!!! I HAVE PERFECT PEARLY WHITES, UNLIKE YOU.". I am not even exaggerating. I tend to be a psychopath/sociopath/crazy person magnet everywhere I go. Then she told me her hagwons were all 2,000,000 won an hour, and that they gave 300 pages of homework every night. Girl, 2 hours of sleep is an understatement. You get NO SLEEP (if u were being truthful)! Then she proceeded to tell me how lazy I was, going to swimming academy twice a week, math tutouring 1-2 times, english 1 time, and a book club every day. I admit that that is a pretty laid-back schedule for a Korean middle schooler, but if you ask me, there was something fishy going on about this little third grader.

"Scarlett, can I borrow your hair oil?!"

"Sure."

"YK, I didn't even need hair oil. I used to have wayyy better hair quality then you did-" ouch! "But I dyed my hair." I bit back my insult. It's a third grader Scarlett, calm down. "Well it sure is pretty! I would like to get it done like urs." I say through gritted teeth. Dahyeon laughs. "It  cost 2,000,000 won to do. You can't even afford that." My left eyebrow twitched and I bit my lip. I would let this slide. Dahyeon would compare me to her every frikin chance she got. When she said her dad was 172 cm ( 5'6), and I told her my dad was 180 cm (abt 6 ft). She flipped and quickly said her dad was 190 cm (6'2). She told me the third night that she was really small so she went to a 300,000,000 won doctor per hour to get tested and found out she was going to have her period in January. She emphasized the 300,000,000 won part. A lot. She told me she was tall tho, saying she was 160 cm (5'2) and I told her I was 153 cm (5 ft), she quickly said she was 135 cm. That is actually small, I was 145 at her age. When I pointed that out, she told me to quit my negative attitude and said she was tallest in her class. Then when I got teased by a boy on my team for finishing my japanese ramen noodles (not the good ol' nongshim shin ramen, I'm the type that's always hungry) so fast, Dahyeon told me that was why I was fat. Then she told me she only had three forks of her food before throwing it away. She told me she had about five spoons of her rice and when she starved for a day she would have 1 bowl (average amount for a kid). I told her that was why she was so small :).

Dahyeon would always make up unreasonable prices for her objects. Shampoo can me anywhere in between the 10-200 dollar range, but she told me her shampoo was 2000 dollars..

Dahyeon's mother would always say things like "Is Dahyeon OKAY?!" or "Does Dahyeon like the food there?" or "Can I deliver some snacks to Dahyeon via mail?! I can't stand it when she's hungry!" in the parent's kakaotalk group chat.

I was so glad when ski camp was over, I didn't need to see her ever again.
