Okay, so every year the 8th graders have a chance to go to Washington D.C. to learn about stuff and hang with your friends. So, we are staying 3 days, and we have to choose roomates to stay with in the hotel. And there can only be 4 people in a room, and if you have less then a random person without a group will be put into your room. But during the day you can hang out with whoever you want. So Hannah and I were gonna room together with her friend and then her friend's friend, but then blah blah blah they both left but that's not important. What's important is that we then had 2 empty spaces. So we were like "hmm, who could be two people to fill the space?" So then we were like "Duh, Natalie and Katherine! They don't have a room yet!" But then Sydney comes along and is like "I need a room, can I please room with you guys?" So Hannah and I didn't say yes or no, because we were planning on rooming with Natalie and Kate. But then Sydney kept on acting like we said yes and she was rooming with us, but there can only be 4 to a room. We had to choose between Natalie and Kate or Sydney and a random person who we don't know. So Hannah and I talked, discussed, and debated who we should choose. So eventually we decided to choose Natalie and Katherine. But then we were like, "How do we tell Sydney? She assumed she was rooming with us! How will she take the news?" And the answer is: not well. Not well at all. She got really upset and she almost looked like she wanted to cry (we were in earth science), and I felt really bad for her and I knew she probably hated me. Actually, I asked her and she said yes. I tried to apologize, but she wouldn't listen. Now, this was at the beginning of Earth science, so we sitll had the whole class of awkwardness. Before the big unexpected break, we were working on a lab with partners. Of course, Sydney and Caitlin were my partners. It was so awkward, but luckily Caitlin stood between us. At one point, we had to ask the teacher a question, so we went and asked him, but there and back we were talking about how awkward and tense it was. I actually feel bad for her, that is not a situation I would want to be in. So then class ends and we were walking to the bus to go to the middle school and Sydney comes up to me and she's like "I know this will burn you, but this just shows your immaturity and selfishness and blah blah blah a lot of other offensive stuff" and she just left me like o.O  Like what the heck? You aren't supposed to say that! I get it you're upset, but that is uncalled for. And then after we got home, she called me and she was crying and she was telling me how hurt she was and how we just threw her under the bus and how we're her only good friends (I think she was trying to make herself look pathetic) and why couldn't we tolerate one random person? Now she is one of those random people and she has to be with 3 other people who she probably doesn't know and how selfish we are to do that, god forbid you can't be with one person who you might not know as well and you always have to be with your best friends all the time. Now at that point she was sobbing and I couldn't understand her, and she hung up because she knew she couldn't even talk. Now, I don't want you to think that I am some heartless creature and that I didn't even apologize, because I did. You have no idea how many times I tried to say I was sorry, but she wouldn't listen. She was just like "You could have tried to do something or stood up to Hannah when she wanted to room with them"  Okay, 1. She is my best friend, I am not going to stand up to her. 2.  Natalie and Kate are also my friends, and they didn't have a room, and it was just logical that 2+2=4. Perfect, right? Nope, not in Sydney's eyes. And I had asked her if she had any other friends to room with, and she said that one of her really good friends only had 3 people, so I told her to just room with them. "But I don't know her friends" GAHHHHHHH YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANTED TO SCREAM AT HER BECAUSE THAT IS THE SAME EXACT THING SHE WAS CALLING US SELFISH FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! So after she hung up, Hannah called me and she said that Sydney sent her a big long text saying pretty much the same thing that she said on the phone. Then we had a big long discussion (2 actually, we took a break so I could get Caitlin's opinion) about the whole situation and we decided that we feel bad, but it's not really our fault and Sydney is overreacting. Because she really was. It's just a stupid trip for 2 nights, get over it! It's not like the rooms were permanant and we were going to live there for the rest of our lives, it's for 2 freakin nights. And it's not like you are glued to your roomates, during the day you can go around with whoever you want. I just feel that she was really overreacting and that she was actually being the one selfish, because our whole lives do not revolve around her.You might disagree with me, but that is my opinion and Hannah's as well. I just think she was making a mountain out of a molehill. Now to keep with the analogies, "When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave everyone wondering how"  I'm sorry for this big huge rant that is almost as long as (if not as long) our usual long thing, but I really need to get it off my chest. I already talked with Hannah, but I just need to vent. It's a stupid trip to DC that's supposed to be fun and educational, but instead it turned into the biggest drama thing ever. At least for me. Hannah and I actually compared it to a trial (blame social studies ;P), Sydney is the plaintiff, we are the defendants, and all our friends are the witnesses. There is also different evidence to be used in the trial of our minds. We can only hope us defendants will be found not guilty, because who knows what will happen if we don't.
