<p>o you’re a girl. right before the last line of you’re post i was gonna ask if she is hot ><. that sounds like a plan tho.</p>
<p>hah, yeah, I realized everyone was calling me “he”…even though I go to an all-girl’s school :P</p>
<p>she’s actually pretty anorexic–she’s dropped 25+ pounds since the summer, and she was already an obsessive track person, couldn’t have been over 130 pounds to start</p>
<p>Are you pretty shy? 'Cause otherwise, I don’t think it would be so difficult to avoid her. When your teacher was writing down the partners, couldn’t you have adopted a bewildered look and been like “Oh [her name] said I was her partner? Sorry, I already agreed I’d be partners with [someone else’s name].”</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m not sure being absent on presentation day would really work. Usually teachers just skip over the group with the absent person and have them present the next day. Plus, she could also say that she sent over all the work to you and doesn’t know where you saved it, thus putting blame on you. Could you go up to her during the computer class, with the teacher listening, and make it very clear that you expect her to do half the work and for her to send it to you?</p>
<p>Also - have you tried being really nice to her? She doesn’t have any friends and she’s screwed people over, so maybe she just doesn’t have proper social skills. Maybe if you tried treating her really, really, really kindly, she’d be shocked into at least giving you some respect.</p>
<p>teaspo0n, you said, "Are you pretty shy? 'Cause otherwise, I don’t think it would be so difficult to avoid her.

Sorry, I already agreed I’d be partners with [someone else’s name].”</p>
<p>I actually did do this, but since the partner I had chosen to be with is a computer whiz, the teacher was all like, “I’m sure you can figure out how to do it, (person I want to be partner with).” when I protested. She was like it’s fine! It doesn’t really matter which partners you have!</p>
<p>Please do not confront her! Obviously, from what you’ve been saying, she’s a very manipulative person. You don’t want to have to deal with more of her vengeful underhanded things all of junior year. Tell the teacher about her not contributing to the project. Ignore her on facebook. Basically, ignore her throughout all of school. She’ll get tired of you eventually. But if you do blow your top and start a big scene, things might get catty. </p>
<p>She seems like an awful person. Good luck in everything!</p>
<p>i did not know ppl like her existed</p>
<p>wow..thats horrible..to think there are more ppl like her</p>
<p>AP1. What’s the status of the project now? Are there still portion that this second party needs to complete, and if so have you asked for that input and what was her response? If you have received nothing from her, you need to articulate that you will do the project with your name only. Give her a timeline in which to get it to you, ( email would be good, so you have a trail) if she does not adhere to the timeline then this is the time you will need to inform your teacher that you’ve done your due diligence and have exhausted all avenues in getting second party’s portion. This action should convince your teacher how you handled the situation and that you are now reaching out to him/her for their assistance.
This will be an ideal opportunity to convey to the teacher what she has done in the past. Ensure you do have the project completed. I really do not think you should have a full day of absence due to her, but if this class is other than first period, its probably a thought to leave early “coughing”. Then you email the project to your teacher and detailing that this was all your work effort. Good luck!</p>
