High School Guys.

If you read my other blog, then you probably know that I made a few new friends, of the....male persuasion. Though, when I made that, we weren't entirely speaking, which still continues. What I'm saying is that, how do you go from "Hi" (regardless if waving or actually saying it) to just ignoring each other? Yeah, that's a high school guy for you. One minute, you're the best of buds (so he claims) and the next, almost non-existent in each other's daily school life. Yeah... Well, as of recently, as in, the week of 11/7 to 11/11, I started speaking in my second period band class. I kind of told myself that I wouldn't say names, in case someone finds this and tells the school about how I'm a desperate, single ninth grader who has no life (not saying that I am.) but, whatever. It's not like I have secrets that haven't been revealed while I'm at school. Anyways, his name is Antonio, and he's a grade older than I. So, we started speaking a bit before, like a handshake and that was it (to not seem weird, I actually do remember these things. Don't ask why, I try to not do so, but it ends up happening to me anyways). So, over the previous week, we ended up sharing a bit too many R-rated (if I say so myself) jokes and conversations. And yes, they are awesome and hilarious conversations, aka, the best ones. He's not the only one who I've spoken to (and still speaking to). Another student in our class, also male, and a year older than I, I speak to also. I'm not fairly certain as to what his actual name is, but it starts with a D and everyone pretty much calls him Turtle. So, yeah. Anyways, during that week, I might as well have known them the entire school year with the way that we act around each other and whatnot. Then, on Friday (Veteran's Day aka 11-11-11), another classmate, named Leonard, asked me if Antonio and I go out. Being me, I said no, which does really little in the world of high school. It's like refusing taking drugs from someone and they keep on pushing you to try it anyways, no matter what you say. It wasn't even him that started it, though. Another male classmate (for the record, there are pretty much only 5 other girls in my band class, besides me) and he made a stupid comment on how we were "going out". Why? Antonio had his arm around me, like you're giving someone a one-armed hug on the side. I admit, I didn't do anything to move his arm or anything like that. I felt that it was friendly, as long as I kept telling myself that. It's not like his efforts were obviously flirty or anything. And besides, he's pretty crazy. I didn't take it as anything more than that: a girl sitting in band class, holding her flute and reading the major scales as her guy friend had his arm around her. I can tell that it sounds like "nothing", but it really was kind of that, nothing more than friendly interaction. As an example I already dealt with about last month, it possibly is only something friendly. My proof being a fellow ninth grader, Jordan, (another male :O ) pretty much did the same exact thing, when we were still in talking terms, at least. And now? We don't speak, except to ask for/sharpen pencils. I'm kidding, it really isn't that lame in math, but we really do ask civil questions like that. At the most, he would mock me when I stare in his direction and I'm thinking "What're you looking at?" Back to now, it is Monday, November 14. And today was a pretty strange Monday. For starters, in band, I sat next to Turtle and Antonio (as I've become accustomed to do once we have some free-time) and, again, Leonard was talking shit. I, for one, already knew that everything that happened Friday would happen again. A comment on how we're going out and I'm just in denial and such. Except, today, I didn't even need to hear what he said. I have a lotion from Co. Bigelow that makes your hands soft. I was sitting next to Antonio and Turtle and we were having our R-rated conversations again, Turtle asking why I have lotion that gives me soft hands which resulted in me saying it was gift from an event I went to when I was still attending the all-girl school in Brooklyn. That response resulted in a negative response, as expected when I thought I heard Leonard's mouth move and he was making his first comment on how I'm dating Antonio. I responded, quite defensively, with a "Shut Up". Doesn't seem much, but remember. I was the quietest student in band, before I actually bonded with classmates who gave me a cause to speak. Then, once I thought I kept on hearing him speak, I said "Shut Up" louder and louder. That resulted in the whole class thinking I was getting mad as I went through my ALL CAPS RAGE!!!! I then told Antonio about how I was allegedly dating someone, not mentioning that the "someone" was him. I then had him ask Leonard in which he responded, "Oh, she not allegedly going out with anyone, except for you." I then turned towards Leonard, in which he taunted me, and I went up and hit him upside the back of his head. In all honesty, our teacher wasn't there, and it was the last 15 minutes left in class. Personally, I don't even think I hit him as hard as everyone else thought. I pretty much made a fist and it ended up lightly brushing by his head once my knuckles touched the back of his head. Then the usual someone who felt the need to be "If I was him, I would've hit her back" and somewhat mini riot happened. And ended. Then, since Leonard and I share accelerated English, I apologized, in which he admitted that he thought I wasn't actually gonna hit him. So, that was my Friday and Monday. How was yours?
