Eyes Wide Open
Alvy:
Today was one of the worst days of my life because of the fact that for the first time, I actually realized who my classmates really are.
To start off, nothing to do with my classmates, I can’t reveal what Silvia told me, but I discovered one of my friends have suffered a great loss… So that already made my day worst, I felt so sorry for that friend, you know who you are, it must be so painful to you… I’m sorry.
Later on, in science class, this girl, Thais was copying the english homework from Victor, it’s already awefully wrong that she is copying homework from somebody, but from Victor? I mean, he gets F’s in every subject possible, even for the ones that don’t exist! I felt so angry at her that I could just jump at her, pull all of her hair off and rip her neck apart from her body with my teeth. Poor Ms. Coggio, she just wanted us to do our homework well, and then this girl just comes along, watches TV all day long thinking to herself: “You know what? tomorrow I’ll copy from somebody right before class.” Some time later, during english class, after we corrected our homework, she even lied about it, I corrected Victor’s homework and he got a 15, when Ms. Coggio asked her what she got she said that she got a 17. That totally made me angry. I told Ms. Coggio the truth and she talked to them. The first accused person was Daniel, until Talita told them both. I felt relieved, poor Daniel, imagine how he would get rejected by everyone if people thought that he did it? people only don’t hate me now because everyone loves me. I would love to tell Thais first, but Talita took care of it, I would just love to see her face. Ah, I just love being evil.
There are these stupid boys in our class that just think that everything is linked to sex. A teacher does anything and they start to gossip and laugh, they are just so irritating. Well, Ms. Coggio is an exception since she knows only a little bit of portuguese, but all the other teachers should get hearing aids, they just say all of these awful sentences, words and shout out disrespectful songs in the middle of class. I loved the day that we were discussing the rights of women in the middle ages and when Ms. Coggio asked them what they thought about it, Augusto shouted out that they belong in bed, I wish I had knife there just to cut off his neck verrrrrrry slowly for him to suffer while the rest of his body is paralyzed, but Ms. Coggio just made an espression that totally intimidated everyone, Augusto finally got what he diserved. I know I seem a little exagerated, extreme and troubled, but it’s just extremelly disrespectful to women.
Today, this classmate that said he was gay several times just said that he liked a girl. Suddenly, all of the other boys just surrounded hime and started to say that finally he was a man, or “macho” and one of the boys, Italo started to ask if he was gay and all, that angried me as well, he was just so homophobic, he said how he was worried and all, come on, as if he ever felt sympathy towards him, he only wants to make fun of him, I interupted them and asked: “And what does his sexual issues have to do with you?” He whispered to himself and left to his “group”
Today was just so one of the worst days, these event were only some that happened today, but today was the day that I finally opened my eyes to who the people in my class really are, I am now absolutly sure that I have the best friends a person could ever have, Sofy and Cary are the best people anyone could have as friends, I was lucky on not being influenced by the others who still have the courage of calling themselves “people.”
