maybe its Enemies. Havent confirmed though but Im sure with one of them. So here's what happened... Last week, we were divided into groups, share ideas on the topic and one of us has to report to the class what we discussed. This class was around late morning and I already had a bad early morning. Its just one of those bad days that would go all day long. When we were about to report, my groupmates kept pushing me to be the one to report. I was very firm on not being the one to report. Then I pretty much guessed that they were pissed at me. Didnt really mind it, having too bad a day to care. I did think to make it up to them next time. So 'next time' was this morning. I was pumped up to share my ideas and wouldve been at their service, but they didnt talk to me, they couldnt even look me in the eye. Their treatment was just so cold that I thought "Fine, be that way." Since they didnt talk to me they didnt give me anything to do. So I just sat there looking out the window. The work ended up unfinished and I think they blamed me for it.tsk3 I saw two of them earlier tonight. I was smiling when I saw one of them and surprisingly she smiled back. Its either no hard feelings or just people's natural reaction to a smile. Whereas the other one, well, when I saw her I was talking to friends and we were laughing. So she saw me while I was grinning. Was surprised at her reaction. She rolled her eyes at me and even stomped her foot while walking! Wouldve never expected that from her. Would actually think that natural for the other one but I guess I really dont know them at all. I know I had my faults too and I really didnt help with the situation. But this misunderstanding could affect how we interact with each other in the following days and could actually affect our grades. So did this ever happen to you? What would you have done? I might try again next time and see what happens. Thanks for sharing!^_^

mayb you could try and put it through to them that you were having a bad time. apologising to them and trying to make them understand will be the best way to do so. you might want to start with the one who smiled back. tell her honestly what happen and that you didnt mean it. she'll most probably understand since she didnt seem to hold a grudge against you. when it succeeds, proceed to contributing ideas through her and once everyone warms up, apologise to the rest of them. Don't try to apologize the one who ignored you first because no1, it'll be tough for you and no2, she'll most probably brush your excuse away. its quite a long and uncertain process but give it a shot. hoping you succeed and be friends with them again!
