The only reason why I'm posting is just to record what happened today in the library.

Prior to the event, Melody, who's wearing hard contact lenses, had the right lens go below the pupil, in the centre, and had to use this little mirror-cum-sharpener to check it properly. I used to have one of those things, a little round, cylindrical sharpener, with a mirror covering one circular face.

Anyway, Jessica made this really FUNNY face, and Mel was laughing, and I don't know why she rolled her eyes. At that point, the left lens went down just as the right one had before. So Mel was tearing and laughing at the SAME TIME, because she found it absurd that she could displace the lens simply by rolling her eyes.

I was sitting facing her, and two tables behind me were some of her council friends. And when they saw her tearing and laughing, they started laughing at her. I just got annoyed because I used to wear hard lenses for 4 years, and I know that when it gets displaced from the pupil it really hurts. You can't even open your eyes without tearing. And it stings.

So I turned around and said, "Are you laughing at her pain?" In a very annoyed tone, I think? Sarah found it funny, hmph. Then two of those council guys came over, and started nudging her shoulder, telling her to go to the toilet. One of them even joked, "Come on, I'll push it up for you", with the jabbing finger motion to boot.

I was actually thinking, "Why are you so stupid? She's already looking at the mirror, as if going to the toilet will solve anything." Only afterwards I found it funny because I realised that they didn't see that it was a mirror. So they were wondering why on earth. when her lens was hurting was she staring at a sharpener!

Later on she said they were a bit scared by my 'scolding', which might account for their assiduous attempts at help. I don't believe it, but she couldn't stop laughing, seriously.

I like our restructured timetable Tuesdays, because we begin they day with our Lit consultation, and have 3 free periods! Cue the laughter and silliness among us BCML girls!
