Look at me, going all 4th grade on Y'all.

This week officially sucks. I'm not really in a "blogging mood" so I'm just going to list things.

- It flooded. As in my state. It's underwater.
- We haven't had school because the waste processing plant dumped 100,000,000 gallons of waste into the river that drains into our lakes...where we get our water. So we are on a boil water advisory and unless you want to shower in a ton of s***, you don't have many hygiene options available.
- My irl friends are asshats. (What's with my language today?)

Why are they all asshats?

Because they are all self-centered, backstabbing, I can't even come up with a mean enough word to describe them. (Fukasitchdicasdards? Eh, no.)

Let's just say that because of them I'm switching schools in the middle of my 8th grade year. Sure, I'll miss certain people. There are a handful of students at our school who aren't shitstickers. (Savannah, Taylor, Lauren, <3) I feel the need to include names, because I know they will probably be reading this and they should know that I don't blame them.

As for everyone else, consider yourself blamed.
("Consider yourself one of the family. We've taken to you SO strong. It's clear. We're. Going to get along!" Eh, stupid show tunes.)

So I guess you could say it all started on Friday. Last Friday. I was in a bad mood. I have Georgia Studies 6th period and my teacher makes me want to slam my head against the concrete walls. Sheeeee taaaalllkssss sssooooo sllllloooowlllly and over ee-nun-cee-ates ever-ey-th-in-guh.

It's unbearable. So when the afternoon announcements come on I dart for the door like every other day. We're dismissed. I run down the halls to meet up with Savannah, so that I can freely bitch and moan about how much I hate my teachers and how I'm going to "fail" everything. Because Savannah is my rock and she puts up with that kind of stuff. In return she bitches about her family life and how she doesn't have a phone.

Then it happens...

"Hey did you hear Hunter is pregnant?"

BAM! Yeah, not as dramatic as you would have thought, eh? Yep. So we're in the hallway right where the 7th grade and the 8th grade car riders/bus riders merge and while Savannah and I are desperately trying to squeeze through impossible spaces so that we can get past a freaking vending machine (that we really don't need. I mean seriously, who is going to pay $1.25 for apple juice?) when I overhear some kids talking about Hunter.

Hunter and I aren't "friends" per se, but we like each other. We've talked on several occasions at honer chorus and we were math partners last year. So I considered us acquaintances. She's the friend that you talk to when your other friends are out sick or something. So, I turn to Savannah and we're almost outside and ask "It's not true, is it?" and she says "What?" and I reply, "That Hunter is pregnant? That's what I just heard." and she says, "I don't know. I doubt it. If it is, I'll kill her." so we both try and come up with reasons someone would think that.

Hunter isn't "fat", but she is super tall and fairly strong (She plays soccer). Savannah mentions that it could have something to do with her not being able to sit down. I just figured that there was something wrong with her back. It turns out she broke her butt or something, but that's kind of irrelevant. (Also, do they make you wear some kind of butt cast? I would appreciate it if someone could answer that for me.)

So we both part ways, because my mom is first in line. (My grandfather's car smells like something died in there. Completely off topic, but it does.) And to be quite honest I didn't think about the whole Hunter thing for a good three hours until I saw her Facebook updates. I thought about getting her number and asking her about it, but I wanted to be completely sure that it was/wasn't true first, because she could easily get offended.

So I text Jamie (Jamielovessocks) of Jozimma. I ask her if it's true. She says no and I figure the drama is all over with. It's just some stupid rumor right? If I had a dime for every rumor I've heard about me I'd be a very rich girl. Rumors are typical territory at my school. When a new one gets started it's the talk of the town...for about 3 hours until another one starts up.

But we couldn't just leave it there. Oh, no.

So of course, being the gossip town we are, we couldn't just drop the subject and move on, because we all know it's stupid to feed fuel to the fire.

It makes perfect sense for Jamie to tell Jessi, who is over at her house. And it makes even MORE sense for Jessi to call Hunter's mother, because it's always best to get the parents involved, right? Because parents aren't biased and completely irrational.

So then Jessi proceeded to tell Hunter's mom all about how I started the rumor and was spreading it. Jamie game Jessi my phone number. Jessi gave Hunter's mom my phone number.

Then Hunter's mom proceeded to spend the next hour and a half threatening me, tell me that I have until Monday night to find out who started the rumor or a cliche "bad things will happen" and she will "be all over me and my parents" to which I muttered "That's what she said." and resisted the urge to scream profanities and several people.

So the next day I told my mom I wanted to switch schools. She's a good lady. She didn't question my decision or ask me why. She simply said, "Okay. I guess that means I have to figure out where McClure is."

I spent the next several hours alerting my few "lovely" of my decisions. Some sympathized, some were assholes, and some said just the right things.

And that my friends, is why this week sucks.
