Homecoming...a very strange event
Well today was officially the most surprising, most annoying, and most patience testing day I've had all year. Hell, probably my whole life. So, about two days ago, there was the whole homecoming prince and princess nomination sort of things. You know, where you nominate three guys and three girls from your grade to be homecoming king or queen, right? So, I don't really know too many people who are into these sort of things (it's a popularity contest though, really). And I'm not going to homecoming myself. I don't really have much of an interest in dances or parties like these. I'm definitely NOT popular at school, but I don't think I'm too bad (well...maybe). But anyways, I'm not the most sociable of people and I usually end up in insult-flinging fights with most of the boys in my class (go figure XD)
I'm pretty sure most of you have figured out what I'm getting to by now. So there I was, dozing off in second period during the announcement, and they're announcing the sophmore princesses....WHY THE HELL IS MY NAME IN THERE? I'm freaking serious. You need at least 25 nominations to be a candidate. I'm not even sure I know 25 people at my school that I'd call friends, much less someone who would vote for me. So I'm over going WTF is happening, and most of the class if spazzing out too. You have to realize, I'm definitely not the most popular of people and most people consider me pretty annoying and a bit nerdy. I usually sleep in my classes (mind you, I make sure I get good grades, so it's ok) and I'm not friends with too many people. I mean, I know a lot of people relatively well, just not as friends. So nobody saw that coming.
Well, it would've been ok if things had just blown over like that...but nooo, everyone had to blow it out of proportion. The whole day, a couple of annoying guys who were in a few of my classes kept teasing me about the "princess" thing, even though I made it obvious I was annoyed. It wasn't really too bad since I know they were kidding around. What really ticked me off were the other nominees. I DON'T WANT TO BE HOMECOMING QUEEN, HECK I DON'T WANT ANYTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE EVENT.
Basically, what had happened is, you know how a lot of people don't really know who the heck to chose so they put down some random name. Well, apparently one of the guys I know, Peter, couldn't think of anyone so he just put down my name and told everyone else. And apparently they thought that was a pretty funny idea, the thought of me as homecoming queen, so they all put me down as that third-as-a-joke choice, AND THROUGH SOME TWISTED FATE I ENDED UP BEING A NOMINEE. And what's worse, the day of the announcement, all the guys freaked out. Donnie, who's so freaking sure that he'll end up as homecoming king, was a complete jerk, basically saying (really rudely) that there's no way in hell he'd go with me. I'm over here thinking, "You think I want to go with an ass like you?!". So that set off all the other guys (this was during break when I overheard them) who went along saying all these things like how there's no way I'm suited for homecoming queen. Normally, I'd agree with them so it wouldn't bother me. But they had to continue on and start talking about how nerdy and rude and annoying and ridiculous I was. Course, they didn't know I was on the other side of the wall, totally in earshot.
Long story short, I marched over and kicked the first guy's lunch tray that I saw. They all basically shut up then in surprise. Then that guy (whose lunch tray I kicked) got mad and started shouting at me about what the heck I did that for. And I'm really pissed off right now. It's bad enough I didn't want this stupid nomination, but now people have to go and give me hell about it. I basically told him to shut the *explicit* up (XD, I know. I never curse so I even surprised myself) and that if they wanted to say something they should say it to my face and also that I didn't even want to be homecoming queen and there was no way in hell I would go with a jackass like Donnie.
By this time, the look on their face is priceless, because I'm the last person to say something like that. I'm the perfectionist, honor class student who sits in the back with a couple of friends and usually scolds others for goofing off. But man, it was funny to watch them. I wish I had a camera at that moment XD And that guy basically kinda backs down muttering. So I'm here thinking it's over, but of course Donnie is all mad now and starts hurling insults at me, and I really don't have the patience for it anymore, so I walk over and kick his lunch tray too XDD It was awesome. So now he's on his feet and really annoyed (although I'd like to point out, he's an honor student too...>_>) and said something along the lines of "the only reason I'm not bashing your face in is because you're a girl." And then I'm pretty happy when I said, "Oh good, so I don't have to worry if I do this" and I punched him in the gut as hard as I could. There's something I'd like to point out. If you don't know whether or not the person you're picking a fight with is a second degree black belt, don't pick the fight. I am, and I'm glad I am. He went down, his friends started panicking and swarming around him, and I walk over to my backpack, pick it up, turn back and say, "Serves you right jerk. So now you can go run over to the office like a baby and tell on me if you want."
XDD I swear, that was so amazingly out of character I didn't even know I could do it. It's like....I'm a delinquent or somethin DX But I really don't regret it too much, especially since apparently Donnie still had his honor left so he didn't tell after I made that comment XD But yeah, totally off day. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, and I really hope it never does again.
EDIT:: THE RESULTS ARE IN! Thank god I didn't win. Ugh, I don't even want to think about the mayhem that would've ensued if I did >_> On the downside though, THROUGH SOME MESSED UP RIGGED COUNT I'm the runner up. What...the...hell? I swear, everyone kept saying "hey I voted for you!" and I'm over here thinking, "I don't even know most of these people!" >:/ Argh, oh well. At least it's over. I get the feeling most of the people who voted for me thought it was a funny practical joke...-_-;
