Lies

[Kitsa]

When I was in Junior High, there was a group of girls busted for drinking in the locker room. I guess they had some sort of alcohol in those hairspray pump-bottles and they were spraying it into their mouths.

So this one girl told on them, then when they got in trouble she went to them and told them I was the one who'd ratted them out.

Here's the kicker- I'm disabled and have never had a gym class in my entire life. They always sent me to the library or to do office work when the other kids were in gym. At that point in my life, I don't think I'd ever even been inside a locker room- might as well have been Mars. Not only did I have no idea that anyone was drinking in the locker room (and probably wouldn't have given a damn even if I had known), but I'd never even set foot inside one. But these girls weren't bright, and so they totally bought this girl's story.

I had to be kept home from school because girls were shoving me in the hallway and threatening to beat me up and/or push me down the steps, both of which could very well have killed me. If anyone had bothered to listen to me, I could have told them I didn't tell on them, but oh well. Eventually it boiled over, and I was never popular anyway so who cares.

I don't remember how I found out that this particular girl made up the lie, but it wasn't at all out of character for her, and I'll probably hold a grudge against her for the rest of my life. The last interaction I ever had with her was in high school, when she excitedly told me that she had found someone to dorm with at the business college (there was no dorm, the stupid business college was in a strip mall, she was a total idiot).

I hate just about everyone I went to school with.
