You would not believe who I saw at my belly dancing lesson today.
TARYN AND NAOMI.
Yup. TARYN AND NAOMI. I almost had a heart attack when they rounded the corner. I was just sitting there, stretching out my legs and wondering how many people would turn up when they walked past. Emi and Ori was close behind, and I was sitting there thinking WTF are these people doing at my gym?!
Now I know it's remarkably bad manners to consider PURE my gym, but it was the only place I go to on a regular basis where I know no one else who goes there. Because no one else who goes there happens to be my age.
Naturally, I was a little pissed off. And when Taryn herself said to me, "You're doing the belly dancing class?" I could only nod mutely in response. I saw the look she shared with Naomi and that just made me even more pissed - just because this is your first time, and just because I might not be a Size 0 does NOT mean you can shake your booty better than I can. Cause a) I have more booty and b) I've been doing this way longer than you have, so don't you stare at me as if I'm the one who's crazy.
Right then and there I refused to go down without a fight. Sure I was feeling slightly nauseous because I was nervous, but then I reminded myself that I had nothing to be nervous about. Who cares if Taryn and Naomi think they're better than I am, who cares if Emi and Ori are right outside the class on those weird bikey things.
If they're gonna stare, I'm bloody well going to give them something to stare at.
And I did. And I kicked ass - well, shaked ass if you wanna get all technical on me. Even if after the class Taryn, Naomi, Emi and Ori huddled together in this circle and just stared at me as I walked off. This is gonna be all the gossip the popular kids are gonna be talking about tomorrow, I swear.
"Did you hear? Jessica goes belly dancing."
"OMG, no way."
"Totally, Taryn and Naomi were both there. Apparently she was really bad."
"Jessica's always been a bit weird."
"Yeah, I know. Hey, did you hear about-"
God, I couldn't stand it if that happened. But never fear, I will not back down. If they even say one thing that sounds like they're making out I'm bad at belly dancing - which I'm not, because I happen to love that class and have been devoted to it ever since I joined the gym - I will whoop their ass. I mean it.
