Hiya! This story happened exactly today, and may seem comedic to you, but this time it is not my intention to make you laugh (my stories arn't funny anyways so...) but to tell you that... the world can be a cruel and manipulative place, and hopefully you will never need someone to screw with you in order to know this fact. Also, there will be A LOT OF SWEARING because I am mad as hell from this soooo you have been warned!
It was lunch time, and because the french class released us late, it was no surprise that the cafeteria line was long. Doesn't mater though, its not like I'm buying lunch---oh. I didn't bring any lunch. Do I have money? The only money I had was the money for the school trip that cost $260, and well... the envelope had $20 in it so I guess I could us that for now and pay it back once I'm home. So I bought food and they gave me change, 15 dollars......... but why did they pay me back the 10 dollars in toonies? I didn't argue.. Now at the table with my friends, I put the food down and the 5 dollars (and the change) onto the table. It was pretty crowded, since the table was cut in half, and the lack of available chairs. so I grabbed a random chair and just when I was about to sit down with my friends and put my money away... BAM!
"Bluuuuuuuuuu!!!!! My best friend!!!!! Yayyyyyyyy!!! ~~~"
An arm wrapped around my neck as the cheerful girl who owned that arm ("owned that arm"?!?!) sang loud and proud, claiming to be my best friend while nearly chocking me to death. She (can't use her real name so lets call her Holly) flung me across the cafeteria as I pleaded for help, and after a minute of prancing later, she had let me go.
well that was... odd. she really barely speaks to me unless its about lending money or teasing me... you know. Stuff like that. I went back to my seat and took out my envelope so I can put back my $15 but where was my 5 bucks? I looked under the chair, under the binder, plate of food and backpack, it wasn't anywhere. Huh. Must of dropped it, or so I thought.
After 10 minutes, one of my REAL best friends (Benjamin) asked me if I could go to Timmy's (Tim hortons) with him to buy some last minute drinks before the bell rung, of course after had finished eating. He told me to meet him at the side/front door (dunno... a certain door lolz) as soon as I finish cause we wouldn't wanna be late. Just when I finish, I saw "holly" and her ACTUAL best friend sitting on the other side of the table (can't use her real name so lets call her Bitch-face... lols again) just looking at me. She knew I was about to leave so she started to talk to me:
Bitch-face: "Hey Blu."
Me: "Hi. whats up?"
Bitch-face: "Arn't you forgetting something?"
Me: "No, not really. I did drop my five bucks tho but-"
I then had a thought. Could she (Bitch-face I mean) have taken my five dollars? I mean I known her for 6 years but we were never close so I had no right to point fingers at her but through my knowledge, it would be in her character to steal money. But I shouldn't think low of her.
Me: ".... do you know where it is? I'm sure I put it on the table right beside my binder."
Bitch-face and holly then looked at each other, a small evil grin on there faces. Bitch-face then took five dollars out of her bra (talk about un-mannered...) and waved it in the air.
"are you talking about this? your lucky I picked it up from people stealing it!" she said. holly agreed with her. My thoughts were 'you mean from hooligans like you?' but I couldn't say anything to upset her, she did have a reputation, or so i've seen. so I bit my tongue and said as softly as i could:
"Well then, thank you! can I have it back now? I'm busy so..." I didn't want to keep Ben waiting.
"Hmmmmm, what do you think holly? should we give this back?"
"Nahhhhh, she'll just lose it again!"
If I was an anime character, I would have those red veins on my head.
"Look, I appreciate you two's help, but that money is for my music trip, so please give it back."
Bitch-face then looked at me, giving me the bitch stare and rolled her eyes as she asked for a fucking reward.......................................................DAFUQ U JUST ASK FOR BITCH?! I had a very short temper and if it wasn't for her popular social life I would of seriously punched her. And let me tell you, all of this is NOT, and I repeat, NOT exaggerated. That was really how angry I was.
"excuse me?" I asked.
"A reward! For finding the five dollars you nearly forgotten!"
This is where my attitude jumped in.
"I didn't forget anything. I knew I lost my five dollars the moment it 'dissapered' from the table."
I then saw a small moment of fear and hesitation from both of them. That confirmed it, she was as low as I feared. But that momentary laps didn't last cause if there was one thing about Bitch-face that I know, she stands firm (she would actually make a great lawyer...). She continued,
"How about you buy us a patty? we're hungry, and we have no money." her smug smile was really starting to pissed me off, if I wasn't already.
"How about no!" I responded. A patty costs 2 dollars, so getting the 5 bucks back with that stupid deal was pretty stupid, considering it was MY FUCKING MONEY.
"But we're hungry!" She started waving the money like a fan, just taunting me... god. I knew I needed back up, so I looked at choco, my best friend who knew what I needed from her without talking. She then started to back me up;
"look, Its her money, not yours in the first place. Stop annoying her and give it back!"
I was really glad she had my back. (Thx btw if your reading choco!) Bitch-face paused, but holly then started talking;
"Well give her a reward, and you will get your money back!"
I knew both me and choco wanted to get violent on her, until I then pointed out to holly " Your one too talk! you still owe me 2 dollars 2 months ago, and now you dare to steal my money and ask for a reward?!?!"
"I didn't steal your money, I retrieved it!"
"you retrieved something that was not yours?"
"purpose of retrieving!"
She rolled her eyes again and gave us the bitch stare again. I hate it when girls do that! I could't win here! what could I do, I can't just let them trample over me and cocoa, I have to make my point but how can I when they give me such attitude?!
"How about this, I give you back the five bucks, holly dosn't need to pay you back."
"No. Holly has responsibilities, recognize them!"
Another bitch stare. fuckin hell. 1 minute of fighting later, I gave up. I was keeping Benjamin waiting and if he's late for class it'll be my fault. So my final words to her were:
"Fine. Holly dosn't owe me the 2 dollars any more, ok? Not like she was going to pay me back in the first place."
Bitch-face then gave me the 5 bucks, and the, "pleasure doing business with you cause I ripped you off" look and took off.
Why did I write this story? Because like I said in the begining, the world can and will manipulate you, only trust the people you truly love any remember, what happened to me might not be a big deal but next time, It'll be my wallet. My house keys, or something worse. And they will not be returned. So watch out! =]
