the melodrama of high school and the love/hate of friendship

the melodrama that is high school is a dull one, over dramatized in movie's such as Mean Girls and Jawbreaker. High school politics are the most shallow thing that has ever happened to the world, but THATS high school. who decides whats popular? what decides who's popular? the people ho decide on an objects popularity are clothing designers for popular shows such as the delightfully vicious Gossip Girl, the songs are seen on MTV and video hits, hair styles and most trends are set by a celebrity. Although i have set a trend or 2 in my time it hardly warrants popularity.
the popular people at my school are nothing like the "Mean Girls", they're popular on their own merit, they have some talent and are generally good to be around. Just not with us, if you're accepted by them then what will you talk about? not a lot, hair? guys? some shows or movies that you say you love even though you hate them but just want them to like you?
my friends are eclectic, in that we don't need those rules, we're accepting of people.

the love/hate with my friends is complicated, i have one that a call Blondie. She is a hypocrite who is clearly looking to graduate into a higher clique that she doesn't seem to fit into.
Another we call has earned the affectionate name of Ebay, she's annoying, threatening, mean and a disruption, but at least she knows and revels in those attributes! not like some people who try to change who they are.
my next i call Shimmy, an emo with a great sense of humor, and an awesome artist! she's a non conformist- like me. together we disrupt our art class and share a general malice for our art teacher.
Yazzy is my next friend, my unhinged, crazy friend who wants me to spread rumors about her, she wants me to say that she joined a cult, while i wanted to say that she was sent to a concentration camp to cure of lesbianism. she's not a lesbian but i thought it would be funny to say that, people at my school believe that anything is possible when it comes to Yazz.
Blondie and i began our friendship on the first day of high school, soon i was counseling her through her petty fights with her rival Key Ring, an ugly bitch who models herself after characters in films, strangely enough she models herself after that villains. anyway, Blondie seems to forget about me, most people do, she forgets that i wrote her essay for her in sose! that i helped her when everyone else turned their back! people. Blondie isn't worth my time, but i'm too nice to tell her to get the hell away. at least i know that i hate her, and i have a lot of control over her. i go crazy with power

in art i had to make a 3D letter, oh how revolutionary. i came up with the idea that i would stick multi colored gum all over it so i can give my teacher a theme (gum) and color, everything he wanted in the most inconvenient way possible. but then he over heard me and told i couldn't, i said i'd do it, but then i got thing that chewing all that gum would ruin my perfect teeth. so i'm going to buy something multi colored tack (like the kind you use to keep posters on you're wall) and SAY that its gum, he can't REALLY do anything about it.
well, silent rebellion isn't nearly as fascinating as what my friends Ebay and T did when they broke into a CHURCH, but at least i'm not getting arrested AND grounded.
