Dear Diary.
Geography/life lessons.
I was pretty well behaved in school. Always did my work. Always finished first always did the extra work. I got really got grades in all subjects except one. Geography. Why? Because the things I learnt in geography we what got my through the last few years of high school. I didn't learn them from the teacher through. I kind of made a friend. Then failed my exam. I didn't care though. Who needs geography skills when every phone has GPS?
Again, for the purpose of being able to follow this story line I've added a few pages together from over a few weeks. Enjoy!
We got moved in geography today. Some sort of seating plan. I'm sat right at the back of the class next to a girl called G. Now yes I've told you about her before. Yes she's a bitch. But i think she's grown up. As you know my hair is BRIGHT ORANGE. Nobody really said anything all day but when we got to geography there were a few people in my class that hadn't seen it. The boys in front of my turned around as soon as Miss had set the work and started asking all the lovely ginger questions.
Did your head catch fire?
Do the drapes match the curtains?
Did you dye your hair ginger to protect your virginity?
The truth is i'm just trying to go blonde... and after sitting there ignoring them for about 5 minutes G snapped at them. "she's going through the same awkward stage that everyone has to go through to go blonde okay? I've been there, no get a life. The boys made an awkward Ooo sound and turned around. I thanked her and she said they were just benders and went back to texting under the table. I asked her if she was worried she'd get caught and she said that she could type without looking. If the teacher asks if she's on her phone she puts it in her bra because obviously they cant look there. She told me to get mine out that I could have her number. Then she blue toothed me the new pixie lott song. I don't know why she's being so nice recently. It's weird. Anyway we spent so much time on out phones when miss came round we didn't have any answers. G made one up when miss asked me my answer to one question and said we'd worked together. But when miss marks my books she's going to see i didn't really do any work. I'm glad G answered though because everyone was staring at me and the quesiton was about the way a river is formed and we hadn't even looked in the text book. WHile i was trying to think of an answer G looked quickly in the book and answreed for me.
We had geography again today. G saw that i had all my files in a Next back and told me that's where she buys her thongs. I didn't know what to say. I've never warn one i told her. She said that at some point in every girls life they start wearing thongs. that if boys saw granny knickers stiking out the top of your trouseres they'd laugh at me. 'take my advice she said, I'm trying to help you' So i did it. Me and mam went to mataland after school and i bought three thongs....
They feel horrible. It's like having a wedgie for the entire day. YIppie. This is my life now.
In geography the other day I told G i'd taken her advice. I told her my thongs were from next but they're not. I told her that i didn't know what made a shop 'cool' and she said that basically the more expensive the stuff there is the better. Which to me makes no sense. She told me to stop bringing my P.e kit in tesco carrier bags, that i should go into shops like river island and just ask for a bag even if i don't buy anything just to have the bag. I remember her telling me this before but not in a nice way. So anyway TODAY she actually brought me a bag. One of the new River island bags. She didn't even say anything she just put my tesco bag inside her bag and said she had loads of them everywhere. I don't know why she's being so nice to me. We spent the entire lesson just chatting and she was telling me about which of the popular girls are going out with who and how some of them have even had SEX. AT OUT AGE? SEX. She said they have older boyfriends though and that's how they know how to do stuff. BUT we did it again... I didn't do any work until the last five minutes where we rushed about 5 questions. I never do anything in this lesson. But it's nice to just chat to someone popular without being told how weird I am.
I actually just scrapped a D in geography in the end. Reading this back i can sort of tell why. So yeh, life wasn't all bad. Me and G never really spoke outside the classroom, but when we were forces to sit together she actually turned out to be alright. I learnt a lot more than just what's in these pages. G taught me where to shop, where to get my haircut, who to talk to and even things like how to get a boyfriend. This was during our GCSE's. There's no date one any of the pages in my diary but we're about 15 at this point. I guess everyone had grown up a bit. Life was finally looking up. By the time I left school the whole popular thing didn't really seam to matter anymore. The mix up of classes made everyone talk to everyone and the stereotypes broke down a lot. Sure I was still weird, but nobody seamed to care anymore. After school, me and G sort of became friends. We'd meet up in collage. She gave me a few lifts home, and even introduced me to a few of the pretty sports boys. I guess i have a lot to thank that seating plan for.
Hope you enjoyed.
