Ugh

When's the last time you HAD to do something you really, really didn't want to do? I soooo don't want to go to any of this stuff. (I get creeped out by corpses.) But I soooo can't get out of it. So when's the last time you had an obligation you couldn't get out of? You don't have to tell me what it was, because that's none of my business. But what did you do to get through it?

I remember back in first grade I was forced to move my seat. I sat next to my best friends Jamie and Julie. It was one of those younger close-nit clicks. Well, a new girl moved to town and was imposing on my position. She wanted to sit next to Jamie. I'll never forget this, the teacher moved me and said "We have to share and let he new girl sit next to your friends." That was my obligation in first grade, "sharing." So I cried and cried, and brewed hatred for this girl Sheri all day. By the end of the day I was really pissed, I knew I was losing my position in my click to the "new girl." So as we were walking outside to meet our parents, I delt with my anger by punching that B*** right in the face. Then, I walked away got in my mom's car and said "Mom we gotta go!" My mom asked why. I said, "because I just punched Sheri in the face." Now my mom knew this girl was giving me problems so she said "you did?" Then the girl's mom came running up to the car, "Mrs. Randall, Mrs. Randall!!" With the little you know what crying behind her, "Do you know that your daughter just hit my kid in the face?!" My mom said, "Oh my god she did?" "Now Michele say your sorry." So I half-assed said sorry, and got back in the car. Now I thought I was going to be in big doo doo but, my mom looked at me and said "yeah that's my girl!" And high fived me. I felt so proud for standing up for myself. I'll never forget that high and mighty feeling I had that day.
