okay so usually I can handle these types of things but this time seems to throw me off.

So I am in Drama II (advanced Drama) at our school and we are putting together a comedic version of King Arthur (basically like Spamalot). and we are doing A Knights of the round table dance. Well I play Sir Robin and we have a part in this dance where we are supposed to be paired with a lady. here is where the problem comes in.

This is our second practice, as I missed the first, and the our teacher stated if anyone misses these two combined, they would not be in the song. well my partner was not here and neither was my friend, So I got paired up with my friends partner.

Now here is the thing, this girl is SO UNBEARABLE. She is completely stuck up, all into her self because she things shes better than me because she has been acting at a young age. She is a complete Perfectionist and tries to out Direct the Director sometimes. she is loud and annoying and a huge chunk of the class tries to avoid her. and I got stuck with her.

Well today being the first day I am here to learn this part of the dance was the day they told her she was my partner, You can INSTANTLY tell she was going bat shit in her mind over this because apparently she gets the impression I'm weird and smelly and stuff. so like she gets all depressed and barely goes over the numbers with me and doesn't acknowledge me. I am smart grade wise and all but when it comes to footwork for dancing and such I get a bit clumsy and im slow to pick up, Doesn't help that I'm 16, 6'3, 230 pounds with size 16 shoes (not fat just "big") and she constantly complains and makes a person feel a bit worthless.

so now here is what I ask, What should I do? I was thinking about going to my teacher tomorrow morning and telling him how stressed out I am over this and maybe I can get a partner switch or take myself out, but that "might not be good for the sake of the ensemble" That OR I can skip the two lunch practices by getting early Dismissals from school on Thursday and Friday so I can skip it. I would REALLY appreciate it if I can get some help on this.

P.S ignore the grammar problems >.< and thanks for dealing with mini walls of text


EDIT: Id feel bad to ask for a new partner because id benefit myself, but at someone else's dismay

To be honest, if that many people in your class find this girl annoying, I'm sure the teacher would whole heartedly understand you not wanting to be partners with her. Other than talking to you teacher, there's not much else I can recommend other than to finish out the dance with what pride you have left. Remember, she's a girl, some of them love to pull that BS and get inside our heads just to eff us over. Don't let her win this one man. Hold out and prove you could give a crap about her two cents.

Sass her. Sarcasm her until she's blue in the face. Make sure that she knows that she is NOT better than you.

Even if she is. People like that REALLY need to learn their place. >.>

Honestly? Ignore it. That stuff has no real effect on you in the long run. She's a ***** and she'll die alone and sad after having her body used up by age 22. So just think, whenever she's annoying you, "She may be a *****, but my life will be a lot better than her's in the long run!"
