Sorry I haven't been on in such a while!!! My internet was down, and this is the first time I have had the chance to really have time to sit down to post and such!

I just came back from fencing, I learned a lot this class, like how to correctly hold the, "foil" (that's the sword) and how to lunge and parry! I had so much fun, except now my hand/arm is about to fall off!! XP

Well, today was ok, but this afternoon, I just about lost it!

So, the way my school works, for freshmen, is that they are all put into a couple groups for their required classes (Science, biology, heath) They call this the, "Freshman Team"

So, this sounds pretty good right? You get to be with your friends all year round, and you don't have to worry about changing schedules for the afternoon.

The only PROBLEM is, if you don't like some kids, or, more importantly, if some kids don't like you, you can't get away from them!

So today, in biology, we had a sub. She's pretty nice, but she can't control our class. I'm not happy to say this, but I think that we have the worst class in the school.

So today, a small argument broke out between these two girls. One girl (who was white) told this loudmouthed and quite boisterous girl (who just happened to be African American) to, "shut her mouth" Well, the black girl, whose name was Jasmin, looked at the girl who told her to be quite (whose name was Shantelle) and said, "what did you just tell me?"

Now Shantelle, is a very tough girl, she didn't say it be mean, she had told Jasmin many times before that she needed to stop talking, they were quite nice, but Shantelle had had it because Jasmin wouldn't stop talking.

So when Jasmin gave her a shocked tone, like she was amazed that someone would tell her that, Shantelle just looked her straight in the eye and said, "Yes, I did tell you to shut your mouth" At this point, Jasmin stood up. The teacher tried to calm her down, but, Jasmin's friend, this fat, bratty girl, whose very steriotypical, just said, "Oh don't worry Jasmin, she's just [making up things bad about you - I don't really remember what she said] AS USUAL!" She spat the last words at Shantelle. It was soo mean!!! I was furious that she said that! I turned to her and told her to shut up, she had no right to say that.

Shantelle, however, handled it very well, she just got up, and asked the sub if she could go to the counciling office. "I've had enough, I don't want to hear this" is what she said.

I thought that it would end there, but instead, Jasmin became infuriated that Shantelle just walked out. She ran after her, saying things like, "You wanna fight!! Come here and say it to my face!!!!!" Shantelle, however just left. Which was the mature and correct thing to do in my opinion.

Even though the teacher told her to leave, Jasmin, and all of her friends walked up to the door, to try to go after Jasmin! I was appalled that they all wanted to hurt her.

But here is what ruined my whole afternoon. So, Jasmin and her entourage, had to go back to her seat, but they kept muttering stuff, like how they wanted to beat her up, and hurt her. I told them to shut up many times. Then these two preps behind me, Ashley and TIffaney, wouldn't stop giggling and laughing about how they were going to hurt her. I was shaking I was so mad!!! I turned around to them almost every ten minutes, telling them to shut up and that it wasn't fun/funny to hear them talk about that. They just laughed, which, to my own dismay and lack of self control, infuriated me!!!!

So I told Shantelle that she should be careful about where she goes. I think she'll be okay though, she's very tough, and very strong. If those girls try to hurt her, she should be okay. But if I see them trying to hurt her, I'm jumping in and beating the shit out of anyone who tries to hurt her! Shantelle is very nice and she can do something I can't, stand up for other and speak her mind. She stopped these boys from calling me a, "Lesbian" once. I've always sort of looked up to her since then...

Sorry you all had to listen to this, I'll be posting more about this as it progresses. But I think, as for me, I should be safe. E, my friend/boyfriend is a sophmore, and my other friend Spikey, is Junior, I don't think those girls would try anything to me if I'm with them....

But I'll be careful...
