Once In Middle School My Friend Olivia Had Her Phone Taken Away During Lunch, And Because She Had A Bad

Once in middle school my friend Olivia had her phone taken away during lunch, and because she had a bad reputation she couldn’t just go to the office and get her phone back from the principal after lunch. I ended up walking in and asking for her phone back and when the principal asked what my name was, I said “Olivia” because I wasn’t sure if she had her name anywhere on her phone or anything (this was the mid 2000s and at the time it was popular to have a flip phone with a front screen so you could put your name on it)

After I get Olivia’s phone back, my friend and I go to the bathroom because we’re going to skip the last couple classes of the day because we’re awful goblin children. We’re chilling in the bathroom when the gym teacher comes in and sees a skipping class. She proceeds to essentially drag us by the ear to the principal’s office to report us and get a signed up for detention. The principle refers to me as Olivia multiple times during this process. My name is not Olivia. At this point I’m just praying that no one points out the fact that my name is not Olivia and then I can just get my detention to be on my way.

My name discrepancy surprisingly never gets brought up. I couldn’t even imagine the shit that I would be in if they had pointed out that my name was not Olivia.

When I moved on to the high school, the principal came with us and became the vice principal of the high school. he was a friendly guy and would greet students in the hallway every morning. He referred me as Olivia every single time I saw him until graduation when my name was announced, and that it was not in fact Olivia, and as he was helping me down from the stage after getting my diploma I could see the realization on his face that I had basically made him think that my name is Olivia for over five years.

“So let me get this straight. We’re here to rescue a princess.”

“That’s right.”

“At the request of a princess.”

“Right again.”

“And you, who will be leading the expedition, are also a princess.”

“You’re very perceptive.”

“How big is your royal family, again?“

“We don’t have one.”

“But–“

“We overthrew our monarchy centuries ago, but we kept most of the titles around. The rank of ‘princess’ is held by the directors in charge of various civil service branches.“

“Huh. And the princess we’re rescuing today is in charge of…?”

“Public sanitation.”

“The Lord of Death’s Dominion kidnapped your public sanitation director?”

“We think he’s a little confused.”

So I’m in a musical for theater camp and I’m the main character. The dude playing my love interest and I are both gay, which makes it hilariously awkward in rehearsal. Yesterday he made me so angry because we were practicing the fake kiss our characters do, and when he brought me in he whispered “Perform heterosexuality, I must” in a perfect Yoda voice and made me laugh so hard I tripped and fell off the stage.
