"in a world full of cowards, someone has to be the hero"
amazing words spoken by yours trulley. Tonight was the Candy Mountain staff party (Candy Mountain being the place i work). It was GREAT FUN! good food, good company and good music. Mandy and Hillary gave out the superlatives (no idea how to spell that!) Allie won "Kid at Heart" Evan won "Best Male Kinder/Mini conslor" beating out his brother Josh by one vote! (if only i had handed in my sheet =/ ).Haley won "Best Female Kinder/Mini conslor". then the night continued with dancing. Evan and Josh were hysterical, Christina was a innocent little slut and danced with all the boys. Around Nine O'clock Maria got this look on her face and went outside. I naturally followed to find Haley and a bunch of other co-workers drinking (all of which were under 21, the legal drinking age in New York). Anyway, I basicly stole all the beer. Someone brought a 12 pack of beer and i was able to break 11 of the bottles. I ended up cutting my hand a bit but it was no big deal, it just hurts like hell. Alot of people told me to leave them alone, and that my actions were pointless and there was nothing i could do and it wasnt my buisness. I know i did the right thing though, sitting by and letting it happen would be wrong. I have to imagine what these people would do if they saw a kid being picked on by a bully or a child who comes to school with bruises on their arms.
I started to break down. Its hard being strong. i went back inside and washed the blood off my hand. when i came out Evan was standing there, and i pretty much just ran into his arms and cryed. For the next half hour i sat at my table being yelled at by people over blasting music saying that i shouldnt be mad at maria for not helping me and not wanting to get invovled. "what you did was right but you wont make a difference" i just dont get it. all night i kept being told i was right but pointless.
blah blah blah, probably getting tired of this, anyway everyone spent the rest of the night having a good time and trying to cheer me up. Evan even slow danced with me alot...oooo (he stepped on my feet only twice!) 11 o'clock came and we all left. Everyone kept asking if i was okay and stayed with me as long as they could. they eventually had to leave, and my mom came too. Then i got home and typed this. Ill let you know how tomorrow ends up.
