I started college recently in Scarbs, about 15 minutes away from where I went to high school. There I was sitting in my class, early (that’s right, not only did I make it to class I was early!!!) and this random brown chick plops herself down beside me sqeaking her head off.
Randomcrazygirl: “OH MY GOD!!!! I haven’t seen you in months!!!”
Um well no…I’ve never seen you in my life. But man was I ever jealous of her hair. Randomcrazygirl had seriously great hair.
RCG: “So how have you been? Do you keep in touch with everyone still? Do you ever go back? Sometimes I think I should stop in when I pass by on my way home but then everything would have changed by now, its been so long.”
WTF????? But apparently my silence and utter confusion means nothing…
RCG: “So what are you doing now? Don’t you miss university? I wish I had gone away sometimes, we shouldn’t have stayed home.”
I didn’t stay home, I did go away.
Moi: “Um actually I did go away to school.”
RCG: “Oh yeah? You lived on campus? Those townhouses?”
M: “No I had an apartment.”
RCG: “But the closest apartments to UTS are so far away, wasn’t that a crappy bus ride?”
M: “I didn’t go to UTS, I went to UW and I’m not sure you actually know me.”
RCG: “No you so went to UTS! Your name is Rakyiah right? They call you Raki? You had econ with me.”
M: “No I really went to UW and I didn’t take econ past high school. Oh and my name isn’t Rakyiah.”
RCG: “Raaaakiiiiiii! You’re so funny! As if I wouldn’t recognize you anywhere!”
Well clearly she wouldn’t recognize this Rakiyah girl anywhere…and really I do know my own name and its really not Rakiyah.
M: “Um no…I’m really not Rakiyah and I really don’t think we’ve ever met.”
RCG: “But I know you. I so know your face. Where did you go to high school?”
M: “Woburn.”
RCG: “ME TOO! WOW! That’s how I know you! We should so go out for coffee after class one day!”
Oy vey. This is going to be a LONG semester.
