Middle School Woes

So I’ve always loved cute/childish things. I look very young for my actual age, and you have to learn to look on the bright side of your flaws so I figure the best way is to be one of those “cute” girls guys seem to like.( Although sometimes you can attract lolicon but thats another story)

Anyway, when I was in seventh grade  I loved hello kitty, I thought it was great and I bought an adorable hello kitty bag to carry my school stuff in. This caught the attention of the goth/punk/whatever’s on sale at hottopic girl in my health class. The day I brought it in she tramples me and screams ” OMG I LOVE HELLO KITTY TOO, SUPER KAWAII~ I’M SO GLAD YOU LIKE HELLO KITTY, YOU’RE SO MOE~!! DESUU! WHAT OTHER JAPANESE STUFF DO YOU LIKE ___-CHAN!!!!”

Meanwhile I’m looking at this bitch like she’s fucking retarded because I have no idea what she’s saying at all, I have no idea what the fuck anime is at this point. So I try to be polite and talk to this girl (actually how I find out about anime) and I guess we become … friends.

Two weeks later I’ve acquired a nice collection of hello kitty things, and we’ve gotten into a conversation about how jealous she is that I have these nice bow studs modeled after the bow on the character.

She says ” Japan makes the most kawaii things!!!”

I say. “Actually Hello Kitty isn’t even Japanese, the character was born in London” Referring to the story behind the chatracter.

The girl Flips. A. Shit.

She starts screaming at me that I’m wrong and that I’m ‘taking away japans credit’. She ends on the floor screaming and crying because I know nothing about japan and that its a crime to our friendship. Her exact words. She ended up being physically removed from the class and suspended for a day. For the rest of the year I had to sit at the front of the class closest to the door so I could peel out when the bell rang. Thankfully i had no other classes with her. But that year my locker was broken into and all my hello kitty stuff was either trashed or stolen.
