God was I pissed. I mean, I was there for school pictures, I was the one who won, why the hell did they use the other girl's picture? I never felt the same about her after that. Not that we were great pals to begin with.

Aw, that sucks
I guess on the upside, you must have had a wonderful vocabulary.

I missed all the good stuff that year, including the token Troubled Kid freaking out in class and throwing his desk at the teacher.

I heard of a guy who did that, but it wasn't genuine. The Modern Drama classes were having Character Day, which was when you invented a character and spent the day dressed and acting like them. This boy was in a different class, but my teacher told us that he was really into character to the point of throwing a desk across the room. I knew him, he was the most popular actor in the Theater Department. Really good, always got the leads.
I went as my cousin Iris, who was a Trekkie (as I had little knowledge on Star Trek, I realized later that I probably should have done a different one). Most of my friends had little patience for this change in identity (I wasn't allowed to tell them about it) and threatened basically to smack me if I didn't knock it off. As a result, I hung around my two friends that
did already know what I was doing.
