March 1984
I was in the car with my aunt as she dropped me off for detention on Saturday.
My aunt:Nadia?
Me /Nadia:Yes?
My aunt: I know you love singing but... you can't let that keep you from making good grades!
Me: I know that but-
My aunt: If I don't see improvement then...
it's no more talent shows, no more instruments and no more boom box for 2 months!
Me:What?! That's so unfair!
I then got out of the car slamming the door then my aunt drives off.
I went to the library and took a seat at the table beside Andrew Clark.
I sat down and stare at the ground until I heard stuff falling. I look up to see the school criminal...John Bender.
He seemed to just HAVE to touch everything!
It was so annoying.
I also saw Claire Standish sitting there... God she's so stuck on herself! So is Andy.
I also saw Brian Johnson and Allison Reynolds But I don't talk to anyone in this room!
I've heard that Brian liked me but I do NOT like him!
Mr. Vernon then walked in congratulating us for being on time and then handed us all papers and told us to write essays about who we think we are! Vernon then said "And by essay I mean essay. Not the same word repeated 1,000 times. Is that clear Mr. Bender?" Bender then said "Crystal"
Claire raised her hand and then said "umm... excuse me sir, I know this is detention but I don't think I belong here..." Vernon just continued running his mouth.
Then Vernon told us what we aren't allowed to do. As he went through the rules he said "And there will be no singing is that clear Mrs. Sababa?" I then slammed my hand down on my desk and said "Listen Jerk! It's Sabawa! Nadia Sabawa is my name! And I don't care about your stupid rules." I then saw John Bender with an impressed face after what just happened.
Vernon then said "You should really get an American last name instead of some Jewish crap!"
John Bender then stood up and yelled "Hey dick, she may be a Jewish immigrant but what has she done to you?! Nothing that's what! So just go get your racist ass educated!"
Vernon then turned to John and said "Young man I'm more educated than you'll ever be!"
Bender then rolled his eyes.
Vernon then left the library.
