Well, there's good news and bad news.

Good news: my Spanish teacher has been pregnant all year, and she wasn't supposed to go on maternity leave until, like, the last month of school. But guess what? I walked into Spanish today and saw an unfamiliar woman, who introduced herself as our long term sub.

Basically, my teacher is gone for the rest of the year! I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

But my excitement about that was overshadowed by this comment this one kid in my class made. I had just walked back into the hallway so that I could talk to a friend, and there was this whole cluster of people outside the room discussing the sub.

One kid was just like, "Aw, I liked *insert my teacher's name here*. She was great. I can't believe she's gone for the rest of the year."

To which I replied, "Well, I'm not sad. I hate her."

That kid was so confused. It was like he could not for the life of him comprehend the fact that it is possible for our teacher to be disliked, or even hated.

Then I clarified that the reason I hate her is because she hates me, so I'm absolutely miserable in her class.

And then he fucking says--I quote him exactly--

"Well, that's only because you were too stuck up to sing karaoke."

I swear to god, I almost started crying right then and there.

Like, what the actual FUCK?? I was so fucking terrified when I was ordered to sing, and I swear to god I was trying but I literally was not physically able to sing because I was hyperventilating and had this enormous lump in my throat from trying not to cry and it just made it even harder to breathe and there was no fucking way I could have gotten a single fucking word out of my mouth.

And then I thought that the stupid incident was over and done with, but then this kid fucking brings it up again and then says that I didn't sing because I was stuck up. STUCK UP.

Seriously. I was stuck somewhere in between bursting into tears and punching him in the fucking face.

My friend was listening to this conversation, and she was one of the people who comforted me the day it happened. And then she butts in with, "Well, would you have been able to sing in that situation?"

He claimed that yes, he would, he would have done what those two boys did that day--that is, purposely screw it up and sing in the most god-awful voice possible, in order to be funny.

And then my friend is just like, "Well, not everyone can do that. Not everyone feels comfortable making a scene like that, you know."

At that point, we had to go inside because class was starting, but I got the feeling that the boy was going to say something about how it's not that hard or you're just overreacting to cover up the fact that you didn't sing only because you were lazy or honestly, you think you're better than everyone else and don't have to sing because of that, or something along those lines. What he actually said was just, "Well, singing is a completely fair consequence for not speaking the language you're supposed to. It's your fault for speaking English in the first place."

So, the result is that I am now fucking pissed beyond belief, but also incredibly upset. I feel like if that kid thought I was doing it for attention or whatever, then there are probably a ton of others who think the same.

I fucking want to cry.
