13. Braggadocios

Yesterday, a friend and I were in our class talking to the teacher. Well, while we were talking, my friend asks me: Oh, hey. When do the rings come in?
I replied: On December 11. Why?
She said: Just because. [turns around to the teacher] Y'know, I got this bracelet and it's engraved with my graduating year. It was the same price as a ring!

Okay. Did you really have to add that part? Seriously?..

It just kinda ticked me off 'cause a) we don't really need to know how much you got it for. You get a class ring for the sake of memories. b) the bracelet doesn't even look genuine. It looks like any generic heart linked bracelet, so I don't get why you would flaunt it off like that. And c) it's not the first time she's bragged about expensive things she's bought.



Rawr D:

I don't hate her, if you got that impression.
It's just...she needs to learn to grow up and not flaunt her spendings or whatnot. People don't have to go around proclaiming how much this and that was. That's not gonna help anybody but boost oneself's confidence, making every one else feel like crap.

Hm. I personally don't care how much people buy things for. But that's your business, not mine, so let's keep it that way.
