As If

A note: Realize that I haven't had to speak or write Spanish in a while and I'm working with a rather limited vocabulary, lol. Forgive and correct me if there are any mistakes, I had to resort to Babel Fish…O.o' I am so ashamed…the translations are very, very rough…
EDIT! The most wonderful, Nisha Athalwolf has helped me with the Spanish! Kudos and cookies to her for the wonderful, and greatly appreciated, help she gave!
Genre: Um…I dunno' maybe, uh, is 'mutant plot bunny that was threatening to eat my ears' a genre?

.o.O.o.o.O.o.
Paulina, for the very first time in her entire life stood alone.
Esto es malo…
Not in the literal sense of course, as she had been alone many times in her life, and quite a few of those times she had literally been standing for some reason or other at some point in time.
No, this time she stood alone in, well, whatever it was that she had gotten herself into. Her parents were talking to the principal and Sam Manson sat across from her glaring. It wasn't the best day in Paulina's opinion.
Hoy es horrible…
It had started simply enough as a joke, a harmless ploy, to put the lower ranking student of Casper High back into her place, which she of late seemed to be forgetting. Always sticking up for her little loser friend, Danny Fenton…who just so happened to be sitting next to her.
Paulina watched as he leaned over and nudge the girl, whispering something or other that made her laugh, then both the teens smiled and started talking about how cool it had been.
Gente loca y fea…
It was supposed to be just Sam who was covered in paint, but now all three of them were.
Paulina had set it up so that the stupid Goth was supposed to walk out of the building and get into some word war with her, and then at Paulina's signal, the other's would dump their pails on the girl, drenching her and ruining her horrific outfit.
Danny, however, just so happened to be walking with Sam as she came out the doors and engaged in her verbal battle. Normally the stupid boy would be so smitten with her that she'd have no problems, but apparently when it came to putting down his best friend right in front of him in such a mean way, well, he had a problem with that.
¿Salió como quería¡No!
As he frowned and took a step towards Paulina, the girl had darted back past him towards Sam and said the word 'idiot'. Poor thing, that had been her signal and she had completely forgotten. Not only was Sam covered in bright pink, white, and yellow, but Paulina was too.
As she listened to her parents go on and on about how their sweet little baby couldn't possibly have done something like this, she looked over on the pair that were chattering away about how cool it was to have been covered in paint and then throw themselves on the sidewalks before the teachers could drag them to the office.
There was now a 'Danny and Sam' print in pink, yellow, and white on the sidewalk and many of the kids who had passed through the office had commented on it. Danny and Sam just gave them thumbs up and laughed.
¡Son unos estùpidos!
And Paulina was alone. No one had taken the blame for her, or even with her, even thought there had been several 'A-List' students who had been her accomplices. They didn't do what Danny had done. Didn't look at the situation and stick around.
Oh no, not them. They left, ran off, ditched her. They told her they'd help her out if anything went wrong, bail her out if she got into any trouble…
¡Mentirosos!
Danny had took one look at the situation and grabbed Sam into a hug, smearing the paint all over himself so she wouldn't have to face whatever happened alone. They had taken the globs of paint, and like children, began to color each other's faces and hair and arms…their backpacks and clothes weren't any exception either.
Sus ropas estaban arruinadas, pero ella se divirtió, al igual que Danny. ¿Por qué soy yo quien está aburrida y sola? Esto es tan aburrido...
So there she was, sitting alone and waiting for the outcome of the meeting between her parents and the principal, while Danny and Sam enjoyed one another's company. It was just so wrong. If anyone had told her that she would be the one left in the dust and it would be Sam who had someone to help her out and support her, she would have laughed.
¡Ha! Imposible…
Oh how wrong she was. Paulina just hung her head and began to chip the paint off her shirt and arms and hair. With a sigh, she flipped her long hair back over her shoulder. It was supposed to be awesome, now it all just stunk.
She glanced over at the pair still talking and laughing about the incident. Like it didn't bother them at all so long as they had the other there with them…
¿Como dices "as if" en español?
Paulina rolled her eyes and was left alone in her thoughts. All alone.
.o.O.o.o.O.o.
