Due to the HIGH sensitivity of the material I will discuss, All names will henceforth be removed from this entry, replaced by fruit. Please treat these fruit with the seriousness you would treat real, factual names. I myself will be dubbed “Tomato,” even though it is a vegetable instead of a fruit.
Background:
There is a certain fruit that believes that Tomatoes hate friends, and that is not at all the case. But there comes a time when friends hurt their friends. They try NOT to let the injured fruit or Tomato know that they hurt them, because they do their malice behind their back, but in the end the tomato found out about it. Doubting their sincerity and friendship, it hurts. The tomato feels dejected once again, by the one fruit with which she shared the closest friendship.
Apple did not understand why she was rejected by the National Honors Society. She was active, full of leadership, full of vigor, full of service. She could have easily made it in, but did not understand why she did not make it. If anyone deserved to become accepted into NHS, it was Apple. It was not until many years later that Apple learned the truth behind her blackballing—Her math teacher had commented that Apple was unwilling to work, a preposterous assumption based on a dialogue that had taken place that year. The math teacher asked Apple why she did not go to the board when it was time for her row to do so. She responded softly with dread in her voice, “Because I don’t want to.” To Apple, it felt as if she had asked to be excused from the spotlight; she was too shy and timid to do math, her worst subject, in front of the entire class. This was merely asking to be excluded from humiliation. In the teacher’s eyes, Apple refused to work.
Many, many, many years later (I would estimate the time to be about 30-40 years later,) another fruit, Peach, received the same rejection letter, not understanding why she was not accepted into the National Honors Society. Peach had the greatest resume for the application, far outshining Tomato’s or Cantaloupe’s application. But despite her outstanding application, Tomato and Cantaloupe were granted NHS membership, and Peach was not. Something was wrong, but no one knows what blunder had blackballed Peach from the admittance all the other fruit believed she deserved. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, like that of Apple’s. Who knows, but maybe, Peach will learn many years later as Apple learned the reason for her blackball.
Cantaloupe approached Zucchini. They began to converse, and their conversation somehow became astray to the subject of Tomato and the National Honors Society. Cantaloupe felt that it was not fair that Tomato made it into the National Honors Society, and not Peach. Cantaloupe remarked that Tomato was very active, and something about Robotics was thrown into the conversation. But then Cantaloupe commented on how active Tomato was, and in his opinion, Tomato was not very active beyond her abilities. Cantalope said something along the lines of, “She doesn’t attend very many of the meetings.”
Was Cantaloupe accusing Tomato of being inactive in ANY of her clubs and extra/co-curricular activities?
~While it was true that Tomato did not participate in the Key Club Blood drive,
~While it was true that Tomato was not very active in TI (They only have a function every two months, and last year Tomato only attending two meetings, and this year she wasn’t going to join because of the inactivity. BUT Banana convinced her that it would be more fun this year, and after turning in a late application, became involved with only three of the functions so far.)
~While it was true that Tomato only came to three of the Peer Ministry meetings (Well, gee, how many were there? Tomato didn’t see Cantaloupe in ANY of the meetings…)
Where does Cantaloupe think he has the GROUNDS to make such an accusation?!?
He doesn’t.
There is no way.
With all the activities that Tomato does, and still manages to keep her grades afloat…
No, there is no way he had any grounds to make such an accusation.
Unless, of course, Cantaloupe is assuming something that he has NO knowledge in whatsoever. But that’s not like Cantaloupe to do something like that.
Is Cantaloupe trying to smear Tomato’s image?
Is Cantaloupe trying to attack Tomato’s reputation?
Tomato is hurt.
Betrayal hurts.
Tomato does not know the whole story, and hopes to hear it soon from Cantaloupe.
Should Tomato bring it up?
Should Tomato call Cantaloupe to discuss the malicious lie?
Sighing, a solitary tear leaves the eye of Tomato, traversing its red cheek onto the keyboard.
A solitary tear to accent the feeling of betrayal that Tomato feels---
A solitary tear for a solitary Tomato.
