Mar. 6
Dear Corinne,
There are 7 types of people in this world:
1. Crowd Whisperer:
I hear them as I walk down the hall between classes or during lunch.
Crowd Whisperer: is that the girl who took Mr. Soren to court?
Other Crowd Whisperer: she says he abused her.
Honorary Crowd Whisperer: oh my gosh!
2. Jesus Freak
Jesus Freak: do you believe in God?
Me:
Jesus Freak: because I've been praying for you!
Me:
Jesus Freak: I hope you find the peace of Christ in your suffering. You know, He died on the cross to save us, and the best we can do in our hardships is offer them up to Him. I hope that he'll releive you of your cross. You poor girl, I can't even begin to imagine what you've been through.
Then she gave me a hug.
Me:
Me:
Jesus Freak: want to come to Youth Group with me tonight?
3. Silent Critic
Silent Critic:
Me:
Silent Critic:
Me:
But the judgement in their eyes when I pass them by says enough for both of us.
4. Jackass Man-Slut
Jackass Man-Slut: so you're easy, eh?
Me:
Jackass Man-Slut: come here, beautiful. Show me some love!
Then he tried to grab me and I threw my elbow into his ribs and ran. Some people make me sick.
5. Pity Party
Pity Party: I feel so sorry for you.
Me:
Pitty Party: you poor, poor thing. Can I carry your books for you? I feel so, so sorry for you.
Me: go away.
6. Ms. Social Skills
A pair of them came up to my locker today while I was piling textbooks into my arms for my morning classes.
No Social Skills: so, what was it like?
Some Social Skills: don't ask her...
Me:
No Social Skills: what was it like to have sex with Richard Soren?!?
(Cue both of them squealing)
I stared at them in disgust as they both turned to face me, eagerly.
No Social Skills: So? Was it hot?
Me:
Me:
And I slapped No Social Skills as hard as I could.
7. Collin
Collin: why are you running?
Me: mmm
I collapsed into his chest and he wrapped his arms around me.
Collin: what's wrong?
Me:
Collin: do you want to go to the school dance with me next week?
Me: I love you.
I looked up at him and he took my face in his hands.
Collin: is that a yes?
And then I kissed him.
Love,
Leigh
