People Skillz

I had a very interesting/kind of funny conversation today with a classmate.

Classmate: Hey has anyone ever told you that you're kind of scary?

Me: No. Why do you say that?

Classmate: It's just that I've talked with people and some say that you're kind of scary.

Me: Why? Are you scared of me?

Classmate: Me? No. I'm just saying sometimes you are.

Me: Why? Do I say scary things or do scary things? Am I physically intimidating?

Classmate: No. I mean you're all small and stuff because you're Asian. And you don't really talk that much unless someone comes and talks to you. It's just sometimes you have this look in your eyes.

Me: What look?

Classmate: Just this look. If someone says something stupid you give them this look like you're going to either eat them or punch them or something. It's kind of scary.

Me: What? I'm not scary. You're not scared of me right?

Classmate: No. Not me, just some people. You know. Sometimes you just give this look.

Me: Well then don't say anything stupid and I wont give you that look.

Classmate: To late you're already giving me that look. Don't punch me!

Me: (smack) too late, you did say something stupid.

Classmate: See..you are scary.

Me: No. I'm not scary I'm just abusive.

Classmate: Oh right. Okay, you're not scary. Hey Esther has anyone ever told you that you're abusive?

Me: No. I don't leave marks so you can't press charges and I'm small since I'm Asian so no one would believe you.

Classmate: Never mind. Remind me to walk arm's distance from you and not to say anything stupid anymore.

Me: Okay.

Classmate: cool.

Me: See...not scary or abusive.

Classmate: I'm just going to stop talking now.

Me: Cool.
