Land Of North

Tina's Journal

North was in homeroom today, and when Mr Chua asked us to do personal profiling for a career aptitude test her re-wrote all of the questions with nonsense and handed up pretentious rubbish about passion and vision. Mr Chua didn’t think it was rubbish since he PINNED IT UP ON THE BOARD. So it’s in MY FACE. Since I sit in the FIRST ROW.

 Liana didn’t think it was rubbish either, when I called her up and told her about it.  I’m telling you, it’s like she and North are in some sort of conspiracy together.

He even drew a nice, neat coloured cartoon of a castle at the bottom of the page with a HEDGEHOG. I have a nice red fountain pen with NORTH GREEN’S name on it. It’s the fancy one called “THIS IS THE ONLY WEAPON I NEED”. I’m going to stab him in the eye with it. What’s he done to my brother?

I’d just gotten over seething about him and was sitting at the back of the computer lab next to Ash after photography practice. We were doing one our random after school activities, like doing pictograph at each other on live video and making fun of one another or drawing hideous cartoons of all of our classmates, and stuff like that when North came in. And Ash, all good natured didn’t ask what he was doing at 7pm, in completely empty computer lab? There was only one senior who’s graduated at the back doing uni homework; all of the lights were off other than the one above the staff table. Was he stalking us? Then he sat down, next to me. NEXT TO ME. I was going to stab him with my chair. I WAS. But I CALMED DOWN. AND THEN, the two of them started having a conversation about this video game called Roman Numerals or something stupid like that. Over me, I tell you. Right across me, like I didn’t exist. My best guy friend, the one who’s always got something hilariously stupid to say, about … well, everything, ignores me for NORTH GREEN.

So, they continue talking for about 20 minutes before I decide I’ve had enough and leave.

During literature and general studies today, North next to me again. I have been so incredibly self-restrained, I’d almost forgotten about the red fountain pen I wanted to poke him in the eye with until Cassie started passing me notes about his pearly whites. THAT’S IT. THAT IS IT. I’m gonna punch him in the eye.

Then, Mrs Richards called me up front to read out some stuff about the skills needed for analysing poetry.

So I fantasizing about the black eye I was going to decorate his face with.

He drew cartoon SpongeBobs on my notebook for GP Skills (General Paper). I’m going to kill him. Is he trying to act cute?

I saw Cassie flirting with North over breakfast. Gaaaah.

He was in my Media & Law elective. Nothing happened. Ash, didn’t sit next me like he usually does. Instead he went all the way to backseat with GREEN.

Eliot, sat next to me. He’s such a nerd, all obsessed about IT and whatever. I zoned out whatever he was saying and paid full attention to the M&L class for once.

Ash and I meet up for this Hip Hop for beginners class and have a Sundae each at the café next to Dance Factory Studios every Saturday. Guess who came to join us with a plate of chocolate waffles and mint ice cream? The devil himself.  Mr. GREEN.

 Ash patted me on the back a little bit when I went purple with rage.

Sunday 6th MAY 2009

Done with all homework at 6pm.

Staring at my neighbour across the block doing horrible Cantonese (Chinese dialect) karaoke.

Oh, I hate him, I hate him. Why doesn’t anyone else notice what a pretentious PRICK he is?!
