Since When Does Having A Brain Make You A Loser? by Eva Daniela Clorenson
At my school, it's the smart people that end up the nerds. Okay, I'm not exactly a NERD. But I'm not a really "popular" girl. Maybe it's just my school, but the popular girls are all stupid. Their conversations consist only of, "Nooooooooo way!" and, "Do you reaaaaaaally think so?!" and "I truuuuuuuly doubt that." What is it with these girls that makes them hold out vowels as long as possible? Sorry to sound rude, I know it sounds like an awful stereotype. But I've actually talked with these girls and TRIED to make friends with them. Every time I've gotten thoroughly disgusted with their sugary-sweet manner in which they speak. When I talk to them online, they email me:
Hiiiii Eva! How are you? I hope things are going great for you! Guess what! You will NOT believe this! You absolutely WILL NOT! Do you know what happened? Nick smiled at me!
COME ON. We're seven. I don't even like boys yet! Those girls are trying to grow up too fast. Since when is acting like this COOL? If you want a real personality, maybe you should go take a look at the girls who weren't blessed with the gift of popularity. I sure hope the boys don't buy into this. To me, popular is having lots of friends who you can play baseball with on the weekends. I don't want to wear makeup or get my hair and nails done. I want to hang out with my friends, and eat pizza, and play soccer. We're only seven. If the popular people are like this now, I fear for my life for when we're sixteen. I think we should just enjoy life now. It won't always be this easy. Duscha comes home sometimes complaining about how she doesn't understand her math homework. And Duscha is very smart. So we should enjoy the days when 7238 minus 373 is considered "advanced" math. And we should try to have fun. Later we'll have plenty of time to try and get a boyfriend. But I'll save that for when I'm old. Like, eighteen.
