I don't often complain about people, but today something happened at school that did not make me feel very happy at all.
Well, before explaining what happened, I'll more or less set the situation. On Mondays everyone has lunch recess from 1 - 3 o'clock. Anyway, at about 2 o'clock my two best friends, one a male the other a female (I'll refer to them as F for female and M[/m] for male) and I, sat down at a table that is in a certain patio and decided to play a game where you draw the head of something, the next person draws the body and the last the feet so in the end you get a strange animal. (My two friends are in 9th grade, I'm in 10th grade although I should be in 9th grade in a way).
So, we did a first one, and a 7th grader came round and said "Oh, how cool" and begged to keep it, so we gave it to her, and she seemed to be all pleased with herself showing it off to everyone although most people said that was quite "friki".
Friki in Spain is basically a label which comes from freak, freakish, and basicaly means you are a weirdo, an oddball, you do strange and different things (and apparently, is not good
).
Anyway, so we were happily continuing our lives on that table, when a couple of girls, also from 7th grade, sisters of people we know from 9th grade just came round out of the blue and told F what shampoo she washed her hair with because it smelt bad. F told them whatever shampoo she used and that her hair did not smell bad, that they just probably didn't like the smell and that was that.
They went off laughing and giggling, but anyway, they came back, to continue annoying a while.
"Hey M, you like spiffy don't you?"
"No *smile, nervous laugh, stretch, smile*"
"Who do you like then?"
"No one"
"And you Spiffy?"
"No one" (I lie)
"And you F, you like Spiffy, ha!"
"No one" (Also lying, but she does not like me Ó_Ò)
They look at us with a bewildered look. O__O
"God, you are so boring, how can you not like anyone?!" is their retort. Anyway, they don't seem to find that interrogatory sufficient and ask F where she came from.
"Brussels"
"And you M?"
Quite understandably, M is completely fed up of them, but since he has his unique way of answering, he just decides to ignore them and pretend they are not there.
"M, are you like, retarded?"
"..."
Anyway, since he does not answer they decide to insult his way of brushing his hair and walking for a while and ask him again where he came from.
"Oh! I am from the capital of Maldivas, Male, from a place with a palace with red fluffy velver carpets and a delicious warm breeze that enters the window every morning and with beautiful beaches with soft rolling waves at the shore" he suddenly exclaims (Me and F laugh acknowledgingly, the two girls scream and run off).
About 30 seconds later, they seem to be back to re-bother us, so M jumps up and "BOO!".
Girls scream, and run off.
5 minutes later, they are back again, ready to offend some more and I can't really remember what happened at this point, but eventually they just went and disappeared, and the annoying 7th grader girls were replaced by annoying 7th grader boys who were just bothering M and me all the time like "Oh you two are such a nice little couple" and stuff like that.
Although admittedly I like him and he is my best friend, he is not my boyfriend and to be honest I am quite fed up of little... brats from 7th grade and big... ogres from 10th grade coming along and saying mean things because they have nothing better to do.
Though I don't think any of us really took any of them seriously nor try to take the nasty comments to heart, it is annoying to have our "peace" disrupted by people we don't even know.
So, I was just asking for advice - what would you do if you were me?

What I would reccommend for you to do is just ignore 'em. The more you talk to them, the more you are just feeding the flame. If they are annoying you, what's the point of giving them the satisfaction that you are actually paying attention? Usually, they'll just leave if you ignore them...but if they persist, just tell them to leave you alone. Now, I'm not saying to do this in a rude or snotty manner, just tell them to kind of back off.
