Journal 28 January 29th, 2019

So it turns out that I did miss some drama in art class while I was gone. So you know those dresses that I mentioned a while ago that we are making, well were in groups of four. So yesterday when I was in History, one of the girls in my group asked if I had switched groups. I told her no, and I had no idea where that came from. So then this morning when I was in Science, one of the girls in the other group, we'll call her A, she told me that a girl from her group, lets call her M, apparently SWITCHED PLACES with me and M is in my group and I am in A's group. I was like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So then later in math A was in that class. I asked why Im in her group and she told me that M said the word trigger and she didn't like that and then M yelled at her. So then when we were at lunch, I sit with M, I asked her about it. She told me that she did say that, but A got so mad at her and told her that is was really disrespectful to those with PTSD. Um, ok. And then M was trying to tell her that no, latterly every teenager and child say that and that she is not being disrespectful because some of her family members have it. It then escalated from there with A ending up crying to seem like the victim, (like always) and Switching groups. Im glad she switched though. She has asked to switch since day 1 of the project. But then there was the big problem. I really do not like that girl at all and there would be no guarantee that I would snap at her. She is impossible to work with. So I was allowed to stay in my group with the added person. A then came up to me and asked me why I wasn't with her group. I told her that I can stay in my group. She then told me that the teacher said that I was in her group. I told her again, I am staying in my group. She then said something about the teacher not telling her about it and M told her that I am staying in my group and that the teacher didn't tell her yet. A then proceeded to complain that its not fair that my group has five people and they only have three and that theres not enough time to finish the dress, as she is busy making herself a tiara that was not for the project. Man I can't stand that girl. That was the tea for today.
