Entry 38: Phoebe's Little Problem
Either there is a problem with my internet connection (which would not surprise me at all), or my messing up posting these next two chapters the first time I tried is just not allowing me to do it at all.
Poor Pheebs.
I've always admired her for ability to overlook the negativity that life throws at you.
Not only that; the encouragement she's willing to give to a person, no matter how pessimistic they are. She could pass for a relationship counselor.
Few times has she ever been given the recognition she deserves for her non-stop willingness to help those in need of her. Then when she was, the unthinkable happened…
That morning on the bus, when we were preparing to be sent to the auditorium, to watch her receive an award, for most admirable student...the most unbearable thing happened in front of the whole school (at least in front of a bunch of immature jerks our age).
Had she not accepted a bag of prunes from a classmate that were said to be quite healthy (but came with unpleasing side-effects), the situation could have been avoided.
After being handed the award, my best friend took a bow that she more than well deserved, only to fart into the microphone thanks to the bag of prunes our crummy classmates had offered her.
So what if she passed gas? Look at Pink boy for crying out loud! Does one moment of gas compare to the thousands of moments of his belching we've experienced all year? Not to mention the unpleasant performance he makes us witness every day in the cafeteria for crying out loud!
What a buffoon!
Thanks to half the class' inability to look past their own moronic traits (not to mention even deserving an award), Pheebs didn't have the easiest time making her way back to class.
It was my beloved (who can always be counted on) that came to her rescue.
After doing some quality convincing (something I can never be counted out; all the more reason I'm in need of him as well), she came to her senses.
Just because SHE did, doesn't mean the rest of our class did (or ever will) with their ignorance. Pttss...oh brother!
