Eire.(chapter 22)

"I'll leave you with your assignments. I'll be back in 10 minutes, so I hope these essays will be ready on my desk when I get back."

As usual, Gorman (the English teacher, I'm learning English here as well as Polish) left the classroom. He's a cool guy, a bit demanding, but his classes are great. You'd probably be surprised I'd say that when I was seated in the front row, directly across from Gorman, with the biggest talker in the class, Conor.

Then that bitch Imer (the biggest bitch in my year, but I manage somehow; I don't let her get away with too much) said,

"Boyfriend stiller!

" "What did you say, Imer?" "

I said you're the biggest pig I've ever seen.

" "You're flattering, I thought you were the number one pig in our school, but apparently I was wrong. "

I leaned back in my chair and pulled my hair out from under my sweater.

"Sorry, but even I don't get that far."

The class fell silent, everyone listening to our conversation. Colm couldn't stand the tense silence, he excitedly shouted,

"Keep going! Bitch Fight, damn, it's a shame the boys can't see this!"

Then we both shouted, "Shut your mouth, Colm!"

I was furious, but curiosity got the better of me.

"So, will you tell me what I did? Because if you're talking about calling Kelly and N., then drop it.

" "No, it's because you're taking away all the guys. First N., Marion spent a long time grieving, now you got bored with him, so you moved on to Ross.

" "It's not my fault Gemma dumped him!"

"Stop lying, everyone knows you were jealous that she and Ross succeeded and you and N. didn't, so you ruined their relationship!

" "Imer, you should at least know half the truth. Gemma left him, and I was talking to Ross about how to fix their relationship!" And N. never went out with Marion, why would he, since he broke up with Rosin not long ago?

- Of course, I forgot about Rosin, another victim!

- Victim? She was the one who was so damn jealous and was planning to sleep with N.!!! She was the one who jumped him at the party! Imer, I'm sick of you spreading rumors, one more time like this and I'll tell everyone what I know about you too! And it won't be gossip or a lie, just the truth. But I think he won't be too happy when he finds out, will he?

- Oh, oh, oh, what are you talking about?

- I'm not stupid, I read your texts, I heard your conversation. I'm a girl and I know what causes this kind of behavior. One more word and you'll regret it!

Then Colm yelled,

"Girls, shut up, I bet Gorman can hear you all the way from the teachers' lounge! You better shut up, he's on his way and he's not in a very good mood."

Luckily, Gorman didn't say anything. I placated him with my long essay. I spent two hours on it yesterday; he should be happy.

As I was leaving class, I whispered in Imer's ear, "Oh, that Piotrek!"

She was stunned; I knew she was crazy about him, and he hated her. He absolutely hated her, which is why I never told him that Imer was trying to hit on him by texting. Let him live in divine ignorance, because that bitch will try to win him over someday, and then he'll have to be careful.

The first time I lost my temper was at school and in Imer's presence, but I was tired of the gossip she spread around the school. She was lucky Gorman returned in time, because I don't know what would have happened if he hadn't shown up.
