Hatred

Katelyn's picture

There's this one girl that I hate.

She always got the highest grades in French. Her science average never seemed to drop below 112%. She aced every single history test, and, get this, she was in honors. She got the best grade on the algebra exam, and has had a post-high school reading level since at least the fifth grade. I mean, come on. Not to mention she was in charge of the entire drama club in her eighth-grade year, and the teachers, all of them, just adored her. It was sickening.

She has blonde hair and wears glasses, and of course she uses those facts to glare down her nose at anyone who dares to make a joke about either of those things. Sense of humor, anybody? Nope.

She just sits there in all of her oh-so wonderful-ness feeling sorry for herself. Sorry! Give me a break. She has all this great stuff going for herself, and she just sees straight through it.

There's this one girl that I hate.

Her name's Katelyn.

ahh.
At the beginning, this seemed to be an odd, obsessive rant, and I was skeptical, because she didn't seem too bad...
Surprise ending. Sorry you hate her/(you)...

I really like this, I would agree with SnowStars. I really like the end (although I'm sorry, don't hate yourself, its not a great way to spend your time).

I like this very much, especially with the ending. I think you should like yourself, but it's easier said than done. It took all of freshman year for me to like myself ^^. I wish you a better time of it. and good job!

Thanks.

Thanks, everybody. Heheh. That sort of was my idea, to get you thinking what the heck was going on here, why I thought she was so bad. Surprise, surprise, that's what it's all about. Thanks.
