Today, was finally the end of the class Geography Bee. (For those of you that don't know what this is, this is like a spelling bee, except it's on, you guessed it! GEOGRAPHY, GASP!) On one hand, the geography bee was awesome because while other people were being asked question, my teacher allowed us to do whatever. So of course, my friend Valeriia and I played Boxes (I think that's the name of the game?), drew, and wrote songs. On the other hand, I hate geography. I suck at it, and it annoys me how the kid who sits behind me, a fellow Chinese kid named Derek, got ALL the answers correct except one (6/7), and I got.... Uhhh well I didn't do too well. If you must know, I got a 3/7, but that is BESIDE the point. I got the questions that seemed, to me, the hardest ones! I mean really, I don't remember the questions, but one of the answer multiple choices were TURKEY or UZBEKISTAN. (Uhmm what?) I mean I'm not stupid or anything, because I definitely knew all the other answers (yes I am a loser and was actually listening to all the questions being asked to the OTHER students).
But speaking of Derek! He is the best(?) friend of my boyfriend, and funnily enough one of my friends likes him... It's really funny because Derek and UndisclosedFriend are friends, and personally I find it sooo obvious that she likes him! Anyway, my boyfriend, our friend Roma, and I are getting a little exasperated and just want UndisclosedFriend to TELL DEREK THAT SHE LIKES HIM! She's scared to though, understandably as she is aware that Derek likes this other girl... UndisclosedFriend kept asking me who he liked, since she knows I know, and I accidentily told her, which led to this sorta fight with my boyfriend... But then I cleared it up and lied to her about it.
I really hate lying. If you know anything about me, you know that I really hate lying to people, especially my friends, but if it's necessary well... I'm gonna be honest and un-modest here and say that I'm a pretty dang good liar. Lol.
Ah, I also forgot to mention that yesterday was that dreaded beginning-mark day in gym... The single most torturous thing known to middle-school-student-kind... That's right folks, you guessed it, SQUARE DANCING UNIT! How in the world do the gym teachers think that square dancing is good for "cooperation"? Basically, the students freak out over who they will be dancing with first. Packs of girls and groups of guys form, opposing each other, sizing each other up. In the girl's minds- Omigod, I wanna dance with [crush's name!], but I don't wanna pick him... Pick me! Omigod, okay I wanna pick him! NO I DON'T! I am obviously not a guy, but I imagine that in their minds, it's like this- When is this over... Holy crap, why is that girl staring at me??
That's about as accurate as I get for a guy's mind.
So after the groups are established, then it's the actual learning the dance moves part! For the scenario of a girl who managed to find a partner that does not suck and she finds acceptable, or likes: The girl guides the guy around, while flirting with him, being generally friendly, and basically sickening. For a girl that ends up with a horrible dance partner that she secretly wants to run away from puking: The girl guides the guy around through the dance steps, keeping as much distance as humanly possible while holding hands doing a promenade. There are also those extreme and unique situations, where the girl absolutely hates her partner and leads him around angrily, attempting to finish as quickly as possible so she can leave and never see her partner again. In fact, that's MY situation!
I hate my partner, and I hate my group. (Besides the girls, because they're more or less my friends.) Anyway it's a long story, so I shall type it all down!
What happened is that in my gym class, my gym teachers finally trusted us and let us pick out groups out ourselves. So of course, that lead to a problem. I have exactly 5 friends in my gym class (they're girls), and counting me that made 6 people. We had to make group of four girls, to be paired up with a group of boys by choice. Well my friend Elyse decided to make a group with her friends Kayla and Rachel, but they needed one more person. So the remaining 5 of us stared at each other, wondering who would be the first to leave or get kicked out and join Elyse's group. (We're a very close group and some of us are a little... Antisocial.) So I had the brilliant idea of playing rock-paper-scissors against each other, and whoever was the only one who won OR lost would go to the other group. Well this idea sucked, since the one who ended up winning against us all was my friend Kristen, who is the shyest of us all and absolutely refused to go to the other group. Then everyone started arguing, and I decided I had enough, and being the good person I am, went to the Elyse's group. Well how was I repayed for my generousity?
Everyone else in Elyse's group picked the group of boys that were literally THE WORST choice ever. The boys' group consisted on one kid that hated me, one that was known for picking his nose, farting, etc. in class, one that was new and clearly did not like me, and one that I barely knew but was verryyy annoying.
Oh and guess who the group that I left got? They got the group that consisted of guys that were mostly my friends, and one which USED to be who I liked (until my boyfriend came along... lol).
I hate being compromising.
