My crazy Middle School life

Dead Dead ☠️

Today, during math, we switched seats and had to do 60 math problems until the end of class. The rest was HOMEWORK.

My table group was: Sophia, Willy, and me, and then there was Rider, Annie, and Jacob, Emmie, Kevin, Hakuna. Then there was Graham, Isabella, and Ollie, then Olivia, Sahdvi, Minsung, and Jisoo.

My table was in the middle of the classroom.

As usual, on the table to my right, Annie flirted aggressively with Rider as he tried to focus on his work. I rolled my eyes as Annie twirled her hair. She was all over Rider! Rider caught my eyes and I pretended to look very, very offended. Rider blushed and then started talking to Jacob, avoiding Annie's piercing gaze as she tried to join in the conversation.

At the same time, in the table to my left, Graham and Isabella were bickering, as usual.

"Ohmygod, WTF is this?! We didn't LEARN ROOTS YET!!!!" She screamed.

Isabella and Graham's entire conversation from now is in Korean:

"Ugh, roots are easy." Graham scoffed, explaining to her. "Square root of 2 is 4 because 2 squared is four."

"Um-that looks like a f*ckin division thingy!"

"It's not!"

"NO swearing, Isabella." Mr. Mason said, not even looking up from his Macbook.

Unlike her beautiful name, Isabella was a short, ugly girl who resembled Pororo and was OBSESSED with Jang Won-Young, a K-pop idol from IVE. She remarked that she looked like her. I have zero knowledge about K-pop, so don't kill me when I get names wrong 0-0. Her entire vocabulary consisted of Korean and English swears (Isabella).

Isabella rolled her eyes, and muttered, "Mung-chung-han harabeoji." Which is 'stupid old man' in Korean.

Then she went glared at Graham, and yelled: "Is it MY FAULT that your stupid mother-f*cking handwriting is so horrible? I could p!$$ out better written sentences."

Mr. Mason sighed and was quiet.

In the middle, Ollie, a really smart and nice girl who resembled a potato in glasses said, "Stop swearing, please! Don't fight!"

Ollie, whom I remarked was smart, could have finished all the problems in class if Graham and Isabella weren't SWEARING and BICKERING their stupid little mouths off, right in front of her. If I was her, I would invest in some earplugs.

I tore my eyes off a still bickering Isabella and looked over to the central table, with Jisoo, Sahdvi, Olivia (Ollie's bestie for 3 years) and Minsung (a pervert who almost got expelled for touching a girl's-yeah, I'll stop).

As Sahdvi babbled away about Idk that stuff, Minsung snapped at her to "Shut the hell up", resulting in a fight. Olivia, who is also smart, couldn't focus as she was working with Jisoo to stop the fight.

In the second table to my right, Emmie was rolling her eyes at Kevin and Hakuma who were arguing over which Dorito flavor was better.

Lastly, Annie was giggling along with Rider and Jacob as she slowly touched Rider's arm.

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. With Sophia and Willy themselves bickering next to me about who had the most Winnie the Pooh stuff, and who was the real Winnie the Pooh number one fan, I took my Beoplay HX headphones and put them over my ears, maxing the volume with noise canceling, playing lofi and jazz.

About two seconds later, I saw Annie glance at me, then she put on her airpods, and then stalked up to me.

"Scarlett, why are you copying me wearing my headphones?"

"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, Annie." I said without looking up from my notebook. "I'm blushing right now."

Annie's face burned up as we recalled the moment where she bought all my Ralph Lauren clothes that didn't even fit her style/aesthetic.

Heck, even ABIGAIL threw her Airpod pros to get Sony headphones the same color as mine, and told me to stop copycatting her. Maya called me a $lut and h0e and then she started to wear off-the shoulder, V-neck crop tops. Girl, IT'S THe miDDle of WiNTeR! Yes, we are 13 year olds. We're just in Korea (0__0).

At the end of class, me and Jacob were the only ones who had finished our work, and the rest of the class were all groaning when they found out they had 50-30 problems for homework.

As we left the class, I bid goodbye to Mr. Mason and headed out. As soon as we were out, though, Annie stopped me.

"So, Scarlett. Mr. Mason just complimented you for finishing and getting all the problems right." She drawled. "But IK you were CHEATING."

Everyone in the hallway stopped to watch.

"I wasn't cheating Annie. You saw me doing everything by hand."

"So.. are you like, smart smart, or is it just all talk?" Annie said innocently, smirking. I couldn't take it anymore.

"Bitch if I kill you, are you dead dead or just not breathing?" I asked, quoting a video online. But the crowd didn't have to know that.

"Dayum." Rider said, as Annie started to mumble "whatevs" and run away.

Then a rando seventh-eighth grader-ish boy high-fived me and asked me for my phone number. Now, if you remember Nina from grade 5? This dude is her CRUSH.

Nina had dyed her entire head of hair platinum blonde or something, which clashed horribly with her horse face and dark skin. Jessica told us about how the money was taken off her savings account, and how Nina chose the most expensive treatment that cost 200,000 won (about 250 bucks). Even though she is a pain in the butt, I couldn't just take her crush's number. We weren't friends, but still: Girl code!

I politely told the boy that I was late to my Hagwon but that I was open to chat tomorrow, and he smiled and said, "See ya." I was pleased to see Rider stomping up to us, about to punch the poor boy in the face.
