Together Apart

5

The last couple weeks of our holliday was a mix of drunkness, hang-overness, over eating and momentary friendships. It was verry unfortunate that we had to go back, it really was. 

Even more unfortunate was the fact that when I saw Josh Leo on monday still had a crush on him

"Morning, everyone"

Said Josh as he walked into the room on monday. I groaned, really this heart-skipping-a-beat thing was getting annoying.

"I see most of you enjoyed your hollidays"

"God knows I did" 

Said Monica with a mischevious smile. She really had as a matter of fact, easier girl, Mexico had never seen.

"I understand that you had a verry good rest and are eager to start lessons"

He said and everyone tuned their attention to the front row of chairs, where the only morron who could have said so was seated. Every classroom has one of those annoying over achievers that did everything in their power to show the world that they could handle anything school realted, but were lost when faced with real life.

"Now, how thoughtful of your informant to state his oppinion for all of us"

I said, spitting as much sarcasm as was possible. So much of it that Josh looked at me as if he wasn't quite certain if I was being honest or not, but sure enough when he saw my face he knew for sure my intentions.

"Skylar, don't be rude"

I pressed my lips together because, really what could I say that wouldn't sound sarcastic?

"I don't think she was insulting someone, and even if she was the recipient of her insult did not took it that way... apparently"

That was Joseph. the annoying little nerd who apparently, couldn't understand sarcasm either. I would have felt bad by his defending me if I wasn't so irritated by his idiocy.

"Thank you Joseph"

I said anyway, because I might be a mean bitch and have no trouble with it, but if there is something I couldn't stand was to be completely rude when my mood was so bright. 

The rest of the day went by in a rush and I was more than ready to go back home, except Josh had other plans apparently.

"Look, I understand you are tired but you do need to be a little more understanding with Joseph"

"More... wait. Point number one I am not tired, I just came back from a verry pleasant holliday, and number two, understanding why? I don't even talk to the man often enough to be considered at least an aquaintance"

"You need to understand that he is not like the rest of you. He is like a child and all of you insist on treating him just like anyone else"

"Josh, with all due respect, that guy and I are the same age, if not then he is a little older, he behaves like a child because his mother is constantly smothering him and treating him as such, and even if he was impaired in any way, I have always been cordial to him"

"Just be more understanding-"

"I can't. I treat him like the man of the age he is, and if I treated him like his mother I'd only be affecting him even more, the real world will not treat him as kindly as we do. You should remember that before you ask your students to treat perfectly capale people as if they where somehow handicapped"

"You know... you have verry strong oppinions, some people could take offence"

I just shrugged, uninterested in justifying myself.
