Not everybody will like you—it’s a statement I've always heard, understood and accepted. What I didn't realized until fairly recently in my life, is that some people take this to the next level. Some people will hate you for reasons seemingly unknown or unreasonable to you.
It all started with the rehearsals of the 2015 school spring musical of The Addams Family that my friend, we'll just refer to him as Pugsley, myself and a couple other friends, were met with the presence of a then junior, who we'll refer to as, Katrina. From the beginning I could tell this girl was someone I wouldn't normally be friends with.

I'd consider myself a fairly logical person—I like things to make sense, but this didn't. It's frustrated me probably more than anything ever has thus far, because I just couldn't understand her.
