Aaron Drake: Icarus Academy

Shay and Maria

So, in Section B there's a guy named Lahin. I've told you about him, he played the dying monkey, err, I mean, Ambrosius, in the school play Helen of Troy. Well, him and this other girl, Aria, did something really bad, and I think Lahin got suspended for it, but to be honest the whole section was to blame.

So we have this nasty Librarian who never lets us bring our own books and hovers over us, never lets anyone talk and makes us read the most boring books. Then she threatens to make us write a THESIS on that book. So Ms. Dragmore, that's her name, is the nastiest worst person ever excluding a lot of people. No one likes her. She's actually a new librarian. The old one was the sweetest lady ever. Ms. Gretruck was really nice, but she retired. And we got stuck with Dragmore.

So there's a bathroom attached to the Library in the school, and Lahin and Aria LOCKED HER IN THE BATHROOM. You heard me right. They locked it from outside, then put a chair on the door to make sure she doesn't get out. I heard they even took her PHONE so she couldn't call and put it on the table. Then they FUCKING SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS.

I mean Dragmore can be sour at times but she didn't deserve that! And Section B, while not directly involved with the Dragmore Scandal, didn't do anything about it. Nothing. Nada. Null. Zilch. So they're just as much to blame. I heard Dragmore was crying when one of the teachers let her out. Dragmore even threatened to leave if B wasn't punished.

As a result, no more P.E. for B for the rest of the year. But come on, they totally deserved it. That was a really horrible move to a person who didn't deserve such a thing. I mean you don't do that to a teacher.

So moving on, Blackbeard made me sit with Jason, which was pure torture because he talked about sex and masturbating non-stop. He asked me if I watched porn. For the record, I don't. And I told him that, he said "If you say you don't, then you're lying.", what the actual fruck?

So there's this girl who failed 9th Grade last year, Shay, so she was in our class. We became friends fast, she helped me a lot with schoolwork and she's a great person to talk to. We became really close. She was also involved with another revenge scheme I had involving Jason other than the racist jokes, which weren't really racist since they were just toward him.

So one day he says to me, "Who do you think has the best ass in our class?", I replied, "Whatever.", and he said, "I think Shay has the best ass. At night, I masturbate to the thought of her big ass. It's so tight.", he said. I wanted to scream. He was disgusting, vulgar and rude. I know, hormones and crap, but I'm the same age and while I was "maturing" at least I didn't make it obscenely obvious like he did. It's like he's trying to show the world that he's going through puberty.

To get revenge on him, I told Shay that he said that. I know, I know, dick move, but I wouldn't have done it to anyone else. Not that anyone is as perverted as Jason. Shay was super pissed, and she was for the next 3 months, and what made it even sweeter was that, A: He liked Shay, which was nice because now he couldn't talk to her without her giving him a death stare, and B: All the other girls got mad at him.

It's not like Shay didn't already hate him. She knew what a sexist pig he was. And the girls didn't like him either, because he said in front of the WHOLE CLASS: "Every girl in this class is pretty except for the fat ones and the ones who wear buckets of makeup."

Sexist much?

But to be fair, he's not the only misogynist in the class. Mason isn't an angel anymore. Besides his perverted tendancies, he also said in Library to Ariana, "You, Shay and Dana are the only pretty girls in the whole class, all the boys agree with me. I mean, have you even seen Fairy's face?!", and I could tell Ariana wanted to punch him in the jaw.

There's this girl who's been in my section since I started Icarus, except in 8th Grade when she was in B Section. I knew she hated that section. Her name is Maria, and she's a very sweet girl. And I mean very sweet. She never says anything bad about anyone, and she's one of the nicest people I've ever met.

I'm so lucky to have Maria in my life. She made my 9th Grade classes a blessing, and I really miss her. I'm no longer in contact with her because she kinda went AWOL, she got a new phone number and she didn't tell any of us, and she started homeschooling for certain reasons which I cannot disclose here for her own privacy.

But during our time together in school she was indeed one of my favorite people. Even though she may think she's insignificant, I think she's a beautiful, talented and smart girl who should give herself more credit. I've been trying to contact her again, let's hope my attempts are successful.

Until then, Aaron out.
