Come on, abuse me more, I like it
We aren’t gonna be having lessons all week because our school fair is gonne be from Thursday to Saturday and we need time for cheerleading and play rehearsals. I hardly attended either all day because I was out promoting the play and getting sponsors for the hip-hop party on Saturday with Kriya and two Student Council members. It’s the very first time I’ve ever been involved with school crap like that and it’s actually kind of fun being busy. I feel sorry for Mariko, the Student Council President. Not only has she been running around school doing all sorts of stuff for the fair all day, she’s also the play’s stage manager and needs to know everyone’s cues. She told me that the only thing missing is that she quit being a student and join the school’s administration. Poor kid. As for me, I cannot stand being stuck in that school for another year. Graduation is only months away, but it seems to take forever.
Word gets around real fast at my school. I only told Denilou, Angelica and Glyka about getting in Ateneo, and this morning quite a number of people were congratulating me and stuff. Gotta admit that I’m not used to all the attention, but I didn’t exactly revel in it either. It made me feel kind of…awkward. I could tell though, that a lot of my batchmates obviously didn’t expect me to make it to Ateneo. But most of them were happy for me, nonetheless. Denilou was like, “I’m so jealous! I can’t believe you got into three schools already, when I haven’t been accepted into a single one yet.” Which is actually kind of surprising cos Den’s in the top ten and I always thought she’d be a shoo-in at Ateneo. The worst comment I got was when Jo Elize asked me, “Lauryn, are you really sure you got in Ateneo?” I was so freaking insulted! Please. Like I would make up a story like that to get attention from anyone at school! I have never sought for my batchmates’ approval, nor have I ever wanted it. I still maintain that my batchmates are merely people I have to put up with until graduation. And I’m not gonna make up a ridiculous story like that just for their attention. Stupid.
And speaking of people I have to put up with, I hate it how I can sometimes react slowly to critical situations. Since the pep squad wasn’t doing anything I suggested to my friends that we have an early recess. The line for the cafeteria food was kind of long, and while waiting for my turn I sort of let my mind drift into places unknown. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a machine gun rattled.
“LAUREN!!!”
I jumped about a mile, and then looked up startled to see Nenok’s infuriated face.
“WHATTHEFUCKDOYOUTHINKYOU’REDOINGEATINGRECESSIT’
SONLY9SOMETHINGAMDONTYOUKNOWYOURCALLTIMEISATTWOANDYOUDON’
THAVEMUCHTIMETOPRACTICEYOU’DBETTERGOTOTHEGYMPUÑETA
DON’TYOUKNOWTHEPEPSQUAD’SALREADYPRACTICING?!?!?!”
The line was composed of grade school kids, and they looked just as surprised as I was to see her sudden outburst. In my head, I was like, “What the fuck is your problem, bitch? Nobody yells at me and gets away with it!” But before I could think of anything smart to say back to her, she turned around and marched off.
My CLE teacher, who was standing nearby, looked at me sympathetically. “You guys must be really stressed, huh?”
“Nah,” I said, shaking my head. “It’s just her.”
People like Nenok just make me so fucking mad! I mean, talk about rude. She could’ve just told me to go back to the gym nicely. Or if “niceness” is an alien concept to her, then she could’ve just said it politely, even coldly. But she didn’t have to yell. Talk about a power trip. But you know what? I guess I can still find it in my heart to forgive her for her boorish behavior because this is probably the only time in her life she will ever feel powerful and important. Let’s just see if she can treat people like that when she’s in college or out in the real world.
For the record, I took my sweet time eating to piss Nenok off even more. When I got back to the gym, the pep squad was still sitting around doing nothing.
I want to graduate already!!!!

[...] we need time for cheerleading and play rehearsals.[read more?] lauryn @ 05:50 amCom [...]
when you’re in ateneo lets see what school she’ll be in. . . .
Yeah!!! were in ateneo!!! how many of your classmates made it to ateneo/la salle anyway? 55% of our batch made it to ateneo and 42% made it to la salle. the biggest surprise, however, is that only 20% of those who applied made it to UAAP!!… which made me think where your batchmates who dont get in those schools mostly end up… where do they end up?
Chris: Well, I’m not very sure about the exact number of people in my batch who applied to La Salle, but the estimate is around 50. I was told around 17 made it. I don’t know how many in my batch applied to Ateneo either, but I’m guessing it’s below 50. To my knowledge, only three of us (that includes me) made it. Last year, only one student ended up going to Ateneo. UAP…it has to be less than 20, and only three (including me again) were called to have an interview last week. I was told that the others would follow later on but no one has heard word from UAP yet. Most of the high school graduates in my school end up in La Salle, UST (hehe), Assumption College, St. Scho or UAP. As you can see, I don’t go to a very good high school. Anyway, congratulations Chris! I never even entertained the thought of you being rejected by Ateneo.
Sasha: She’ll probably end up in UST or something. She didn’t make it to Ateneo or La Salle. Bitch.
hey, are the results on the site already?
Good for you that you did not said anything to Nenok. Its not even worth arguing and stooping down to her level. Obviously, this girl is just immature and as uneducated as a person could be. Congratualtions about Ateneo. A lot of people here believed in you, you know.
yeah, i didnt think UST would ever be considered as a top ranking school in your league. even i didnt dream of going to UST. but i ended up ditching lasalle for UST. and maybe you’re partly right about your impression of the school, … just not too much
You are such a loser… grow up! obviously, nenok was so stressed about your cheering and stuff..the least you could have done is understand that
