Story of a Wallflower : Freshman Year

April 13, 2016

I got in trouble for the first time since I got in to high school. I wasn't expelled or anything but I was sent up to the office.

On April 1st I brought a bag of glitter and a pint of blood to school. I poured the glitter on my friends and I didn't use the blood yet. My friends thought it was funny and we all had a good laugh. Then the bell rang and it was time to go to our first period. There is this guy in my class named Eli. Eli is what you would probably call a class clown. He always messes with everyone in the class, even the teach. So, I thought he would be a good target and he could finally get a taste of his own medicine.

I poured glitter on his head and back. He didn't notice until someone told him. When he found out he asked the teacher if he could go to the bathroom. I am guessing he did not go to the bathroom because a few minutes later one of the security guards asked for me to come with her to the security office.

"Have you been doing anything you shouldn't be doing?" she asked as we were getting to the golf cart.

I thought that was a stupid question because no one has to go to security unless the get in trouble. "i guess so, because I am with you." She stayed quiet for the rest of the ride. Once we got to the office, I walked inside and was greeted with a, "You cannot wear that shirt!"

I was caught off guard because the last thing I would think I was getting in trouble for was what I was wearing that day.

I was wearing back skinny jeans, a pair of ratty black converse, and a black T-shirt. When he said that I couldn't wear this I was confused because wasn't showing any skin besides the lower half of my arms, my neck, and my face.

"Why?" I said.

"I Am High As Pho?" He said. He also mispronounced "Pho"

I look at my shirt again and read it. "I Am High As Pho." Then I realizes he meant I couldn't wear this because of the text. I had this shirt for a while and I wore it pretty often and no one ever told me I could were it. In fact, my English and History teacher complimented it.

"Why can't she wear that shirt?" said the security guard that took me here and the other security guard that was at another desk.

"I Am High As Pho." he kept repeating and kept mispronouncing.

"It's pronounced "pho" and its soup" I said.

"I don't care what it is and how you pronounce it." he said.

"By saying 'I am High As Pho' is basically saying I am not high at all because soup can't get high." There was a moment of silence and then security began to argue.

After a few minutes of them arguing the Security guy that had a problem with my shirt asked if I had a jacket I told him yea and put it on before he told me to.

The jacket was also black and it wasn't noon yet and I wasn't outside yet but I was already starting to get hot. I thought to myself 'He is trying to male me have a heat stroke.'

I thought that was it but then he said, "Why are you bringing glitter to school?"

"Because its April Fool's day" I said.

"So you think it's funny to put glitter on people" He said.

"No. I never said I thought it was funny."

"Then why did you do it?" He said and I replied with " For entertainment."

"Entertainment is funny." He said. Then I said, "Not always. Entertainment could be sporty, drama, horror, suspenseful, etc. " He was silent. " She has a point" said the Security guard at the other desk.
