...From a classmate.

Because I stole his 'effing seat unknowingly.

What exactly happened was that I got into the class before everyone else (like always) and I took a different seat than usual, which was closer to the smart board (an interactive white board, pretty much).

After the lesson and during the last 10 minutes of class, the teacher leaves the room for a few minutes, and this kid turns to me and says "Kristal, if you ever steal my seat again I'll kill you."

Despite being in a little bit of shock I managed to at least say "Ya, I'm sure you will."

(I know, not the best come-back, but I wasn't expecting being threatened)

So then this guy's preppy friend turns to me and she says "Actually, he's a violent person once you get to know him."

...

THE KID'S SKINNIER THAN ME! And is he really so violent he'd beat me up over a fucking seat!? THERE'S 6 PEOPLE IN THAT FUCKING CLASS! HE COULD BE AROUND HIS FRIENDS REGARDLESS OF ME BEING IN "HIS SEAT"!

I know it kind of seems like I am over-reacting…but this kid bullied me all throughout the 8th grade and turned half of that grade against me. I managed to let that go over the years. Now that we're in our last year of high school, we are in the same classes, and I've seen how he acts among his friends and with teachers: he's an ass kisser, and extremely arrogant. But I haven't said anything rude to him or anything like that; I just let bygones be bygones. And now he feels the need to "break the ice" by threatening to kill me over a fucking seat?! I don't care if he's joking of not! Joking about death to a person whom you had bullied without mercy in the past doesn't look good in a third person situation!

His Daddy works in the school...I think I might have a talk with him. I don't think he would appreciate his son telling someone he's going to kill them, regardless of the fact that he's joking.
