My Height

I'm not tall.

Like, not at all.

The last time I grew was two millimetres and that was a year ago. I turned five feet. And stayed five feet. And now, I'm the shortest in ALL of my friend groups. Like the Robins (Al, Mimi, Panda, Ally and Guppy) and the Hummingbirds. 

I was not always the shortest. In fact, in seventh I was quite tall. I was taller than Guppy and frequently called her a baby (not so much about her height and more about how she acted) and I used to Panda shorty from the year I met her.

I was the third tallest in a group of seven. 

That was because I got a CRAZY growth spurt when I was eleven to twelve. 

But then in Eighth grade, everybody shot above me. Beth basically became the human equivalent of the Burj Khalifa. Tia was tall enough to become the General of an Army. Ann was fairly tall, so was Lily and Riley. And then the worst thing of all happened. My tiny whiny cute patootie of a sister became the same height as me.

That was after Fiona had such a huge growth spurt she became taller than Ally, who was the tallest in my school friend group. And the Panda - the Panda I've called SHORTY for four consecutive years since we met, became an inch taller than me.

That was when my life ended.

THE END.

I'm kidding. 

But it did badly hurt my self esteem.     

Being short is no WALK IN THE PARK. You can't reach the top of a bookshelf or blackboard. You have to stay in the front of the line. You get made fun of. CONSTANTLY.

Well, maybe I deserved the last part. I HAVE been making fun of my friends for their heights for ages and I guess they have the right to make fun of me now. But Ally, Anne and Beth have NO right to tease. Like, I've never made fun of them. They were ALWAYS skyscrapers. 

Today was our Karate exam, where me, Anne, Tia, Ru, and Lily were becoming  belts. After the test, while I was drinking Tang, a teacher called for a volunteer. First my sister left and then they called for another. This time a SHORT volunteer. I didn't hear them say SHORT so I went anyway, and they were like "Aah! Perfect!"

Ru was laughing like crazy after. Like - it wasn't THAT funny.

Moral of this story, do not make fun of peope for their height because God doesn't like it and will curse you to be five foot nothing forEVER.
