(no subject)
hey guys! well things have deffinately been going better since the last time i wrote in here. school's been okay, guard is kinda sucky, but hey we've got a first place, a second place, a high general effect, and a high visual won already so i'd say we're doing pretty good lol!
but yeah on friday we had to write about something we take or have taken advantage of and i wrote about the whole summer fiasco. wanna read it? well then here you go!!
as the tears fell from my eyes like a mighty river, i knew my life would never be the same. no one had ever judged me by this before. why did it matter all of a sudden?
jason had called me for the first time in 2 months. i was extremely surprised. i knew by the tone of his voice that he wanted to tell me something, but he kept delaying the question. he started the conversation by asking me if i was going to the softball tournament in washington county that weekend. i told him yes, but somehow i knew there was more to it than just that silly question. knowing that he couldn't post-pone it any longer, he finally came out with it.
"i have to tell you something," he said quietly
"what?" i said eagerly/
"i have to tell you the real reason we broke up. it's my parents...they don't like you because you're half-black."
i was shocked. no one had ever pre-judged me because of my skin color. jason said it was because i was loud on the band buses and that i was always loud at the softball tournaments. i argued back and said that his parents barely knew me and had no right whatsoever to judge me before getting to know me. i was 16th in the class, got straight A's and B's, and they thought i was a bad kid for having fun with my friends? he agreed with me and promised that he would try and explain to his parents that i wsn't a hooligan like they thoguht and that i was actually a really cool person once you got to know me. after getting off the phone with him, i called my best friends, ali, who easily calmed me down and stopped my crying. if i didn't have friends like ali, i don't think i would have ever made it through that day.
so yeah that's my lovely story and mr nawrocki commented and said that he liked it. so there's my update until god only knows the time. i'll see a later. <3
