So guess what

Have you ever met someone very, very sweet who goes out with someone who is a TOTAL JERK?! Guess what... it's my first time seeing one of these cases today.
And it's kind of a strange sight...
Listen to this:
I'm sitting on a bench. AE leans over to me and says, "Can you believe MK is going out with BC?"
MK is going out with BC?!??? When did this happen?
"MK is going out with BC?!??? When did this happen?" I ask.
"Yeah, you didn't know that? Woooow, Sofia."
Yup, I'm pretty isolated from the outside world, aren't I.
"But MK is so... nice."
"I know! BC is like such a jerk. He doesn't deserve MK. But they've liked each other since last year and they told each other in February but they didn't go out until last week. MK was getting really fed up."
"But MK is so... nice."
"I know, Sofia," AE says, obviously impressed with my wit and intellect.
So I look over at MK. She is gardening with other classmates and pulling invasive plants out of the ground. Doing good for the world. Then I look over at BC. He's having a food fight with other guys at the picnic bench and dumping trash on the ground. I hope he picks that up...
"But MK is so... nice."
AE is fed up with my amazing verbal skills. She gets up and leaves me alone on the bench with my cheese sandwich. DZ is still on the bench with me, but he gets up a second later. Everyone loves me today. I take a big bite of my sandwich and continue watching the large contrast and mulling over the fact that opposites attract.
But why? Why would MK like BC?
Apparently, AE asked her. To which MK replied, "I am so sick of people telling me that we shouldn't go out." It was hard to register that MK was angry because she's so... nice.
Oh well. I start on my chocolate bar and itch my face. I've fallen face-first in stinging nettle (an invasive species somewhat like poison ivy) and some of it got up my nose. Greeeaaat. I have an itch on the inside of my nose.
