You've won yourself a double feature today.
Context: I am verbally accosted 2 DAYS IN A ROW by 14 year old girls in the dining hall. Yesterday, I was the first of the RAs to sit down for dinner and so for about 3-4 minutes I am sitting alone. I can feel the harsh and unabashed glares of 3 giggling female specimen searing into my left frontal lobe. I can see through their high-pitched cackling and into their very innards where harrowing, puerile ideas form. I hear an asinine outburst.
"Want to come sit with us?," says the girl dressed as a soccer player.
"No, but thanks," I respond. "The other RAs are coming."
(Here is where the script flips.)
"Okkkkk, Mr. Popular," says the girl who is beginning to look like a Bratz Doll.
I laugh of this moment of immense awkwardness and continue with my meal while I hope (read: pray) for my fellow RAs to join me.
------3 more minutes where no one has come. I'm under the impression that conversation with Soccer Barbie is over. That is until I hear....
"You're just so popular"
WHAT IS THIS?! Is this even REAL?! I didn't even know what to do. I just sat there, put my head down, and laughed uncomfortably.
Finally, Danielle came and I was saved.
---Or so I thought.
The next day, we RAs sat at a table very close to the one we sat at yesterday. I sit down, notice no Bratz dolls in sight, and breathe a sigh of relief. Lunch is certain to be uneventful.
All of a sudden it gets loud, and then louder and louder. And before I know it, the girls soccer camp has taken over the dining hall and the same group of girls sit as close as they possibly could.
And then it happened.
"Hey, Mr. Popular!," slips from her mouth all too intentionally. I ignore although I am shaken to the point that I just wonder what the hell I have done to be the victim of their foul play.
The meal ends soon after and I make my escape.
Q2: "What if the deer eat us?"
I suppose Shiri's post is enough explanation for this tidbit.
