cliques and facebook gossiping
Here's the thing about cliques: they're awesome.
That is, if you're in one. And I mean, actually in one. That one group of people you hang out with all the time, no matter what. After you're in, you're in, and you belong, you know? You know where to go for lunch, you know who to talk to during a break, you know who to invite to parties. Being in a clique is the perfect social stablility.
Here's the other thing about cliques: they're exclusive. If you want in, it may be hard. And, depending on the clique, there's a right way and wrong way to get in. I was lucky. Ali and I met way back, but didn't meet again until eighth grade, when she invited me to a party at the way beginning of the year. Then Bobbi kind of recruited me near the middle of the year, who knows why, into the clique. And here I am, I guess.
Okay, so remember Jake? You should; I mentioned him about 7 times in my last post. He's this blond kid who is really making an effort to get into our little clique. Like, a lot more effort than he gave to the myraid of other cliques to choose from. Now, I don't think of Jake as much of a problem, but Sandy and Adrian do.
I come home to Sandy's facebook status saying something like "this year sucks. i don't like that jake kid who was following us around, he looked at me meanly so i think he doesn't like me and that makes itokay for me not to like him. also he's annoying and he has ugly hair."
As a reply, Adrian wrote "He was being an asshole to me at McMurray, I wanted to punch him in the teeth. He thinks we're the goths and emo's or something and thats why he hangs out with us"
Well, you know about my friends. Bobbi has purple hair and piercings everywhere. We all wore skinny jeans today, and Ryans were some eccentric light blue. I mean, labeling people is tres bad, but if there was a punk clique in this tiny school, it would be us. Especially considering the amount of band shirts Nelson wears and the amount of black Bobbi wears.
But, seriously. Seriously? It's the first day of school and he's a new kid. Sandy and Adrian should really lighten up. You've known him, what, 7 hours? And no, that does not mean "It will only get worse."
Gosh, my friends are so mean sometimes! If I loved them any less, I would haul out. I mean, I'm sure we all think he's annnoying, to some degree, just because he's new and a little too outgoing for what we can normally handle before "outgoing" becomes "annoying" (for some of us, there is no difference). At least he's giving an effort, though. I'll give him credit for that. Yeah, I kind of got annoyed at him a few times. But only mildly.
Definitely not enough to gossip about on facebook.
Come on now.
I mean, I feel bad for him. My whole clique in a grade above him, and if he becomes friends with us, if he's only friends with us, when we move up and he stays in the A2, he might have no friends.
That's another thing about cliques. Sometimes they seem like enough, until they're not.
