You Know What Made Me Angry?
Okay, so, in my middle school, I took the highest classes I could to get a head start on high school. But, then I moved to another school district and the classes didn't correlate so I basically had to start back over from the bottom to work my way back up. I'm a smart person, like most of you guys know, so I'm in excelled classes. There are some other kids that are in excelled classes but because they were able to transfer high school credits, they are in higher levels than. Even younger kids. That makes me so angry but that's not what this topic is about.
This topic is about this stupid kid (and kids that are a lot like him that you may know) that I just want to punch in the face. We were learning to do Stoichiometry and I'm in a class with nearly all Sophomores. (I'm a Senior so I'm two years older than them.) Usually, the classes go IPC -> Bio -> Chem -> Physics but I did this: IPC -> Bio -> Environmental -> Chem These kids didn't have to take IPC so that explains why they are in the same class as me. Okay, you following me?
We were learning Stoichiometry and I'll be the first to admit that my Chem teacher isn't really the best one so not everyone was getting it. In fact, most people weren't. So, she paired us up with people that were confident that they knew it with people that were having a little trouble. I got paired with this kid that I've never talked to in my life. In fact, it was the first time I'd seen his face since he sits on the other side of the room as me. We sat down and I went through my steps until I didn't know where to go and was hoping he'd show me if I did something wrong or not or what to do next like everybody else in the class was doing. "Okay, so, where should I go next?" I asked. He didn't answer. He just sat there. "Am I doing it right? What do I need to do to solve this problem?" He finally looked up from his paper and said, "Well, you're given information and you have to find other information from it." No crap, dude. I wanted to say that, of course, but I didn't.. I was hoping he was just pausing for some reason but he wasn't. He finished and it seemed like that that was all I was going to get from him. So I said, "Yeah, I get that. Like most math problems: You start with something and you find something else." I was trying to be a smart Alick so that he would know that I wasn't a retard and knew that.
Okay, this is what drove me up the wall. He said "Well, actually, no they aren't." I just got up and walked to another pair and asked the girl that was tutoring to help me to.
I'm a much bigger person than that kid and I was really about to get angry but I thought, hey, maybe he was having a bad day or his mom died or something.
So, today, we were in class and I was working on my Economics and he came over to talk to the kids that kinda sit near me. I was talking to some of them and then one of them was like, "Dangit, I can't use 3G to download an app from the Appstore because it's over 2MB. It says I have to use WiFi." I turned to him and said, "I know the netkey. I 'hacked' it and even found the SSID. Do you want it? I think this building has it." I knew him since last year and he's really nice so I gave it to him and he was asking about it. I said it was just rrisd001 in hexadecimal. "What's that?" someone asked. That stupid kid stopped his conversation with another dude to say, "It uses 16 characters." Okay, I was explaining but I hadn't mentioned that yet so I guess I shouldn't let that bother me too much. So, we kept talking about iPhones. That kid that asked what hexadecimal was said, "What's Nike+?" Then, I said, oh, it's like a step counter but on the iPhone. He was like, so you put it in your pocket or what? "Naw, you get this thing you put in your shoe." "Well, how does it know when you step?" "Oh, it connects to your iPhone with WiFi." Then, that stupid kid was like, "Actually, it's Bluetooth. Not WiFi." I was pretty mad that he butted into the conversation again but I wasn't going to let it get to my head. "That's what I meant, of course." He looked up and said, "Actually, no it wasn't." OMG. This kid was getting on my nerves. "I know the difference between WiFi and Bluetooth." I said.
"Well," he started. "Didn't seem like it to me. WiFi is nonlinear while Bluetooth isn't."
"Dude, do you seriously think I don't know that? Do you honestly think I'm retarded or something?" I'm a pretty buff guy because I played varsity football and even for a sophomore, this guy was really small, so I decided to start using more of my 'intimidating voice.'
"Well, if you use them incorrectly, one can assume you don't."
"Okay, just because you can assume doesn't mean you should. That's where you went wrong. Are you seriously like this to everyone, or just me? Are you a jerk to your friends?"
Then he decided to reply, "Well, does Nate (the netkey guy sitting next to me) treat everybody like that?"
Okay, firstly, that is completely irrelevant to anything ever said but my quick wit helped me with my reply: "Of course not. He respects people and doesn't try to correct everybody or act like a know-it-all. That's why I gave him the netkey."
He stopped talking to me and a few minutes later he left. I was happy because I could be in peace because the way he had talked to me and looked at me any time we were near each other drove me through the roof. Like, you don't understand how angry that like 1 minute conversation made me.
Right before class ended, the guys all next to me were like, "I'm so glad James left. He's so retarded."
I was like, "That's his name? James?"
"Yeah, he was trying to argue with us saying that knives are better than guns because you could hold a shield to block bullets with."
What an idiot. That kid just got on my nerve and now that I posted about it online, I feel somewhat better but I will post an update if I decide to knock this guys lights out.
