October 1992-October 1993
I avoided her throughout the summer but for some reason she still considered me a friend when we hit ninth grade. She got her aunt to adopt the baby and I continued to avoid her as much as possible. I joined an experimental college prep program and became notorious for turning in a non-essay criticizing the essay question for our final. People thought I was a badass. I really just didn’t understand the poem. I was close to 300 pounds and lived in constant terror of being humiliated. I hated myself. I didn’t understand why I couldn’t just be cool.
