I was so frustrated and tired of the same thing every single day. I needed to break free of the grind. Tomorrow night, I would be going to a bat mitzvah party for these twin girls in my class. Maybe that’s what I needed to get out of my rut
The next night, I got dressed. When I got to the party, my friends were already there. So we’re talking and hanging out, and I’m making sarcastic comments. Then the most obnoxious kids in my class arrive, one of them being my beloved companion from math. (I later found out that they actually crashed.) Okay, breathe. They don’t acknowledge me. Brief sigh of relief. We sit down to eat. Once again, we’re eating and chilling out. Then comes a moment that will go down in my personal history as the awkwardest moment in my life: the squeeze. (Cue the dramatic music.) Yes, one of the obnoxious crew, actually squeezed my shoulders. One moment I was talking and chilling, and the next minute I felt a squeeze. I turned around, and yelled, ” You jerk! Get off- now!” Then came the sorrounding of our table. The rest was just a blur of sarcastic comments and the few moments I remember are my beloved companion asking for a dance and a fist bump, another kid asking for high-fives, and the discussion of how jerky the boys are. The rest of the night-dancing.
I basically got what I wanted- a break from the daily grind.
