Funny story from 8th grade

So I thought of a funny story to share. It might be more like one of those "you had to be there" things but I'll try to describe it as best as possible.

Back in 8th grade, my best friend was Brandy but she went between me and this other girl Sarah Young as her best friend. This, of course, made me hate Sarah Young because I had to fight for Brandy's attention with her. Plus, Sarah was a bitch. She hardly had any friends, but she told everyone that she was going to move to Bismarck (a po-dunk town next to ours) so she could be popular there. She also took ice skating lessons and said she was going to be in the Olympics someday, hah.

So one day, while I was in science class, Brandy and some other people had a great idea. They shared the idea with me in algebra class. They had made a petition wanting Sarah Young to move to Bismarck. We passed it around algebra class and had everyone except Sarah and her friend Mandy sign it. I put "from your good friends - Brandy, Melissa, Brad, and Emily." Probably not the smartest move, you'll see why in a minute.

After getting more signatures, we decided to give the petition to Sarah after lunch. She started crying and told the teacher, so I guess Sarah took it to the principal. During gym class, the foursome (Brandy, me, Brad, and Emily) had to go to the principals office. I felt sorry for Emily because the only reason she got in on this was because she sat by the four of us. Then, everyone else who signed the petition got called into this classroom (we all couldn't fit into the principal's office) and were assigned to after-school detention for 2 days. Funny thing, this was all the fairly smart kids because we passed it around in algebra, which was the highest math class. Some of the other signatures were - John Deere Green, John Doe, and this guy in our class who wasn't smart and said he didn't even know who Sarah Young was.

For our after-school punishment, we had to watch videos on respect and how to treat people. It was actually pretty much a waste of time. Sarah Young's mom sent the petition with a letter to everyone's parents. My mom and dad were sorta mad at me and grounded me for a week. Brandy's mom thought it was funny (she didn't like Sarah) and she didn't get in any trouble.
I know, it's a mean story, but we were mean 8th graders. Guess what, it worked, Sarah moved to Bismarck at the end of the school year. Hah!
