I helped out with NHS. I had to hand out papers, report cards and smiles. I loved it. At first. It got pretty dull after a while, and the time seemed as if it were going slower and slower every time I looked it.
I took my sister with me. She wasn't suppose to help out or anything. She was just there to accompany me. The principle saw her just sitting there and told her to do something. It was pretty funny. He placed her across the room with some girl and she looked like she enjoyed it. She went home with my dad an hour or so later. But the principle came back and asked me to bring her back and put her to work. I was laughing. He was just kidding. Future NHS'r he kept saying. Lol.
The woman I decided to help out with translating for people was really sweet. I loved having her as company. She actually made me feel as if I were her own child. She was amazing. She's a librarian and secretary of school, and she smiled the whole time. Today is her birthday. Yesterday though she gave me cake. I was so hungry sitting there since 2:30pm. And I still had to stay there til 8:30pm. I needed the points for NHS. I wanna be considered an active member. I have to. Anyway the lady was super sweet and nice and funny.
After a while another lady came by to help. I saw a couple of friends. And it started getting packed. I was left alone for a couple of minutes and that's when a buddy from class came over and asked if he could help. We started talking about grades and so on and so forth. Then we started talking about him which resulted to talking about me. My life kinda sucks so when I was explaining my situation I sounded pretty fucked up. Even though his behavior and his attitude makes him a type of person I shouldn't be talking to about my life I decided to just say whatever was on my mind. I told him I have no friends, how I sat by myself in lunch the day before, and how I'm sad for myself.
He responded pretty honest. He told me I shouldn't get down on myself, how I should at least try socializing, and how i should just try and be happy. I don't know much about the kid, just that most girl's have crushes on him, but he's kinda like me. he almost let's people get to him. But he taught me a lesson. He was sweet, honest, and gentle. I admired him at that very moment. He also made me laugh.
Toward the end of the night, when everybody was set to go home. We parted. And comes the end of my story. I'll try to make friends. "High School is...". I'm prepared to say "High School was..." but I wont yet because I still have the rest of the year to change things. And I'm kinda looking forward to it.
:]
