today, as i was watching our classmates play frisbee (i was being anti-social, lazy or emo.. u choose it), it yet again struck me that my classmates are really an endearing bunch.
i've liked all the classes i've been in. however, there's something different being in 6a. in lower sec, my class was rather clique-y. the individual cliques didn't really have much to do with the other cliques. ok, there were "affiliated" cliques haha. like.. zan's clique got along pretty well with the clique shiting was in (the bimbo clique lol). and -coughs- me, being so likeable, got along with people from different cliques. it's undeniable, though, that my class was pretty much segregated.
in upper sec, i loved my classmates too. yet again, i got along fine with most, if not everyone. but the same can't be said for other classmates. my class was known to be the paikia/high prof pple class. but obviously, not everyone can fit into that description. while the class was more united than in lower sec, there was a segregation between the "cool" pple and those who are less so, by normal standards. even ignoring bitching amongst groups (i mean, it's inevitable that people don't get along, i guess), the less attention-seeking few (not to say that the rest were attention-seeking in any negative manner) had little to do with the rest and any communication between the groups were tentative and somewhat forced.
even in primary school, there was at least a certain individual who was completely not included in the class. -ahem- he who shall not be named but whose name can be guessed easily.
on the other hand, in 6a, i find that after 1+ years, the atmosphere is one of acceptance. regardless of what reputation we came with, our looks (or lack-thereof), intelligence, sports aptitude, proficiency in english haha.. regardless of how quiet or noisy we are, or our sexual orientations -coughs-jenhan-coughs-.. regardless of whatever makes us who we are, the class has come to accept every single one of us. at least, that is what it seems to me.
things had not always been easy for some of us in this class. it's heartwarming to see that after everything, 6a has evolved to become what we are today. a class where we all belong. we can't all be close to everyone, but at the same time, it seems to me that at least a basic level of comfort exists amongst everyone else. from what i can see, everyone's happy to help each other out, we are fine talking to one another.. our class is just. happy. somehow, i get that feeling from it.
i have my horrible mood swings and hammie did tell me before that when i am in a bad mood i'm completely untouchable. in fact, i think i'm a lot harder to get along with in jc than i was earlier on. but after everything, be it losing my temper (usually at zhu sorry), punching hammie, dao-ing some people when i was in no mood to talk and all sorts of bratty behaviour, i still feel that if and when i need/want them to be, the class is here for me. and i would appreciate it if you do not correct this belief of mine, if it happens to be wrong haha.
yes, things had not always been nice and dandy. no one's perpetually happy and some feelings might have had been hurt along the way. but by this point, most of us know that teasings are not meant to hurt. most has been taken as amusement, even for the person who is being teased. a smile (some more gay than others), a laugh and perhaps feigned anger, some eye-rolling. but no one really gets offended, right? at least, not often.
we took awhile to get used to everyone. but by now, i'm willing to bet that everyone is glad to be part of this class. it is where we can behave as we like, "image" disregarded. a somewhat childish, somewhat naive environment, but nevertheless, an environment where we are able to live just like that, without having to put up false appearances, without having to worry about the impression we give the rest of our classmates.
i love 6a (: despite me being anti-social at times, pangsehing the class AT TIMES (not always lor).. and despite being told that the guys were laughing at my extremely normal and un-laughable (in my opinion) tag, despite suannings that i'm fat, despite the horrible guys trying to induce me to fall when i'm cycling... i really do love 6a.
