She really wasn't so mean though. She was stuck in a really bad situation where she was completely surrounded and outnumbered - and it really could have been very dangerous for her. I don't blame her for wearing a mean mask, and I don't even blame her for lashing out at me. How was she to know if we weren't planning something sinister or just making fun of her? How do I know my laughter wasn't the "final straw" for her? We held no ill will towards her, but we used her as a source for our jokes - which spiraled out of control.

At least she kept it between "us girls" by starting it in the girls gym locker room instead of my other locker near the classrooms. It would have caused even more damage, maybe even loss of life - all because of a joke.

Maybe I should have been paying more attention in class instead of trying to amuse myself with jokes about the world around me. It wasn't the belly laugh I had hoped it would be, but it was quite an adventure nonetheless.

Oh well, even if I didn't - my locker got a cover story in the high school yearbook.
