Hello, everyone! For the purposes of protecting the identities of those who will be mentioned in this narrative story, I will be using false names.
A few years ago, I had temporarily traveled to another country for the summertime, and attended a sports camp there. Usually, I would describe myself as a joyous, bubbly, and sometimes downright crazy chatterbox who simply wishes to enjoy life to the fullest. However, I may have let my self constraints slip far too much – and it therefore lead to the following events.
I had been standing in the hallway outside of locker area, waiting for the group leaders with a few other campers. The camp was very enjoyable for me, and I had been chattering away with my immense loud mouth when suddenly, one of the campers, who I will give the name L, shouted from inside the locker room – “To be honest, I think that (my name) is such an obnoxious FREAK!!! No offense to (my name), but I absolutely hate that idiot!!!” It was then when someone else, who I will call A, replied – “Oh no, she is a whole lot worse than that!!! (my name)’s mouth is so fat that I bet that I could shove a dinosaur’s head through it and she couldn’t care less.” At that point, I was completely shocked by the situation – why would I have any means to offend them? Did I deserve any of this, if not all? Yet even I knew that my big fat mouth was just as they described….tears began to press outward behind my tightly pressed eyes as I pretended to proceed towards the water fountain at the other end of the hall, so that I would not become the focus of stares. Before I could take a single step forwards, came more voices from the locker area. “You know what, let’s all confront her on the last day for being that annoying little weirdo she is….I’ve only been here for three days and now I want to leave this place all because of her!!!” yelled a girl, who I’ll call M. I had taken enough of this. Those people would never know, but I had heard every minor detail of conversation. As they kept ranting on about me, tear streaked and red faced, in a sudden burst of pain and anger, I dashed up to the locker room door, pinned down the password, and slammed inside. “There she comes.” said L, rolling her eyes. “The great pain.”
“Fools”. I said, eyeing every single person in the room, people who I had once befriended and trusted, but now I knew where colder and more ignorant than one could ever be. “Such ignorant fools. You don’t know anything, do you?”
But that wasn’t all. i should have known better.
