A good friend of mine and I sit in class. The teacher is going on about some project that's do tomorrow. Yada yada green sheet yada yada. "Wait, what green sheet?" I ask to no one in particular. Everyone looks as baffled as I'm sure I do. I turn to my friend thinking she might not of heard me and ask again about the green sheet. "I don't know!" she snaps her voice dangerously sharp. I withdraw into myself, hurt. All I did was ask if she knew what was going on! Feeling brave from the sting of her comment I take a deep breath and say, in a measured voice, "I know that you are having a bad day, but that is not an excuse to act like a jerk." She looks taken aback. I turn my attention back to the teacher, ever so slightly proud of my bravery.
A moment or two later I notice her get up to leave. Her face is red and tears trickle down her cheeks. I feel a stab if guilt. I was a little harsh. While she's gone I make up my mind to apologize at the end of class. I never intended to hurt her, and seeing her sad because of
Something I'd done hurt me like a shot to the heart. The teacher comes by while I'm sitting there and asks me if I want to go after her. I shake my head. Seeing me was probably the last thing she wanted.
We don't speak a word until after class. I wait for her to finish unpacking as always. She looks up at me and growls, "What?" I pause unsure what to say. Again her words sting. She looks up from her packing
Again and glares at me. "What is it?" she snaps. "I, uh, I just wanted to say
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you" I say. "OK." she says and walks off. I hurry to my next class witch I also share with her, then I go to the bathroom and cry. I spend the rest of the day going out of my way to avoid her. I'm also trying to avoid a confrontation with our mutual friends. I don't want to end up giving them a one sided story that isn't the truth.
More on that story latter. Sorry for the really long post. I hope it doesn't take too much of you time.
