The Parking Jerk

I recently got my parking pass so I could drive myself to school. I get to school early, so I get the closest spot to the door. I don't NEED that spot. But I like it. So I park there. I guess there was some unwritten code that the spot just so happened to BELONG to this kid, Keith. Keith is the popular kid that even the popular kids despise.
Anyway, I park there every day now, in my little black 97 plymouth neon (previously owned by a smoker that never opened the windows when they smoked and so the ceiling is stained with nicotine.). $1200 and it's totally mine. No paying my car off. It's mine. Keith, now, always parks right next to me in a different car almost every day. Each of which look majorly expensive. And of course there are always his 3 friends that are only friends with him for the ride. They're always in the car with him, too.
Every day Keith parks there and gives me a stare of pure death and lazor beams that he shoots at me. I sit there and read. You see, they lock the doors to our school until 7:05am. So we all sit in our cars idling to keep warm. So I sit there and read while he stares at me, which makes me slightly uncomfortable.
Lately he's taken to mouthing obscenities to me.
One morning he showed up 20 minutes earlier than he normally does, trying to get the spot. But of course I was there already.

My friend Webby (Weber is her last name, we call her Webby) has been visiting me in the morning as well. Her car is lonely so she visits mine, which is more comfortable and warmer.
She also noticed that Keith was acting particularly ridiculous toward me. So she has decided that to piss him off, she'll start parking next to me from now on.

I would gladly move if he wasn't such a baby about it. If he was a grown up and said "Could you please park somewhere else?" I might consider moving. I don't NEED the spot, I just like it. Even if he DID ask, however, how stupid is that?
Who asks you to park elsewhere?
That's like going up to a disabled parker and saying "Excuse me, move, I want to park there."

I want to see the day he gets there before me, acting all victorious that he got the spot before me... and I'll just park next to him and read like I always do. It's no skin off my nose.

Is there a reason the most popular kids in a school or the rich kids think they deserve everything because their mommies and daddies GIVE them everything?

I guess I almost like the power I have to make him so angry by just parking there, though. It's a bit funny, really.

Kinda funny. This guy really got all uptight over a parking space. I hope he will one day find out how utterly stupid that is.

Almost sounds like my high school. The things people complained about made me laugh: "I forgot my i-Pod, so I have to listen to the music in the gym while I work out." And? God forbid they play a song or two you don't like - or that are *gasp* older than you are (the best, in my opinion, especially when it comes to rock). Even better - "My Mercedes wouldn't start this morning, so I had to take the Volvo instead." Ok? I take the bus - you don't see me complaining.

I don't need drugs - I have genetics.

I can’t believe that someone would make such a huge deal about parking one spot away. That’s really crazy.

Of course in my high school parking lot, I was also the kid who drove the 13 year old car, while the people I would park next to would own an assortment of Audis, BMWs, we had few hummers in my school parking lot, some brand new mustangs, lots of SUVs... i think you get the picture, expensive, brand new cars. What really bothered me when I would drive to school is how pushy people would be to get out of the parking lot at the end of the day. You'd think that people would be appreciative of their cars, especially if they were incredibly expensive and new. I remember how I would wait to leave the lot because I was so scared that someone would hit me! Almost every day there would be an accident in the parking lot because people would try to race each other down the packed aisle, cut off school buses, and drive as far as they could in one lane and then whip over without a blinker into another line, where a person had been waiting for 20 minutes to get that far in the line. Nevertheless, there were many, many accidents in my school parking lot. One day a boy in my grade attempted to "drift" in the parking lot, hitting a light poll and totaling the sports car he got the week before. But the competition for spots was just as bad at your school as it was at mine. People would park in handicap spots so that they would not have to walk as far when they did not arrive early enough to school, would get a ticket, and then would spend the next two weeks complaining about it. I think that high school students, cars, and parking spaces just DON'T go together
