Shell-Shocked- Part 1

I sat looking at my screen. My friend was trying to tell me about her depressing life. I blinked and read what she had written.

My step-dad used to masturbate in front of me every day! He would watch me sleep and he would put his hands down his pants. My mom knew this and she didn't do anything!

I blink again. Trust me, I know sexual abuse. I thought back to what I was going to write.

And now I have to take SO MUCH MEDICINE. I nearly choke on all the pills I have to take just to stay alive! And get this, THREE of them cause clinical depression and my parents won't do anything!...

Clenched Jaw Syndrome

Mercredi, le 23 fevrier, 2011

I walked with my head lowered, my books clutched to my chest, to 2nd block. Algebra. Who needs algebra? I don't like the class, but I like the work more than most other classes (give band and chorus). The answer is never changing, set and staying that way. Such as 2+2 will never equal 5. But when I got to the algebra room, I discovered that my day was about to get worse....

It's been 5 months since I last wrote here. Five long months of work, pain, solitude, repentance, familial love, relationships gone awry, friendships, and last but not least summer.

In the past 5 months, my brother started talking to me again. He apologized to me. He wanted to be a family again. I, in turn, apologized to him and accepted his family request. We have gotten along same as before any of this ever happened since. Even better now that I'm going for the same job he has.

I still like Her. Though something's changed. I can't say what. Over the summer, when I didn't see her and I had Bruce...

Dear Ms. Rye

I suppose that if you're reading this, then I'm less brave than I thought. Or possibly much much more stupid. But you see, the thing is, I have to talk to SOMEONE, and there's no one for me to turn to but you. At the same time......I feel bad. I feel like I can't talk to you in person because I feel like it would be wrong of me to say or maybe you're too busy when the need strikes me or maybe I just don't want you to think that it's ALL I think about or even that I might have made it up (which I did not!!!!)

But I'm so scared, and lonely. And with no one to talk to I have indeed...

The Pecking Order

I sat in my house in complete shock and anger. Two days had gone by since I had told the people of the world the truth....and I was regretting it so much my head spun. First thing had happened was the pecking order was established. Which of the two of us would have a real place in the family. Since my father was blaming ME for this sudden intrusion of life, it was no question which side chose. Then my brothers of course followed their kind. My sister, seeming to have a great choice in front of her, became a complete recluse to both of us. Then my mother. After a moment of seeming...

Attention! Attention!- part 1

I paced my room like a caged tiger. Now was the time. I picked up the phone and dialed the number. 555 8805. My mother's cell phone number. As it rang and rang I began to feel a tightening in my chest. I could remember Ms. Rye's words clearly. I could still see them blaring on the screen.

Cheyenne,

I thought that you were very brave today and I applaud you for coming forward and telling me. I told you that I would keep it a secret, but after reviewing a few state teacher rules I realized that if I didn't report what you had told me...I wouldn't be your music teacher...

The Longest Weekend EVER

I ate my school food slowly, savouring every bite. I would not be eating for a while and I knew it. Sally was sitting next to me again, talking all the while about how sick she'd been feeling. “I'm so glad it's Friday,” she finished, spooning some pudding into her mouth. “And it's a 3 day weekend.”

“I'm just excited for the music trip today,” I admitted. “Ms. Rye is going to drive us up to Susquehanna University for an Honors Band festival.”

“Oooh!” Sally nudged me. “Have fun.” She winked. I wonder how many people knew about my crush on Ms. Rye....

HER

I walked up the hallway, my stuff clinging to my chest. I was thinking of everything I needed to do today, everything that I needed to remember. I blinked in shock, looking up as something caught the corner of my vision. It was HER. She had copied me exactly and was staring at the floor.

I blinked and she looked up at me and smiled.

“I stare at the floor when I walk,” I said flushing.

“I was wondering what was so interesting,” she said with that smile of hers as she passed. “You looked really interested in something on the ground.”

I laughed almost. “Nope. Nothing, just thinking.”

“Oh,” she said laughing. She showed her pretty white teeth. “Don't think too much, okay? See you in class!” And she skipped off to her job.

HER name was Ms. Rye, and she was my teacher.

Lunch Meat

I walked around the cafeteria looking for a place to sit. No table appeared to be open or welcoming. I did get some warm glares from people as I passed but eventually I found my place. Alone.

“Do you mind if I sit with you?” I turned and saw Sally Ale. She was a freshman at the school, a young open-minded wit with talents she refused to recognize. I nodded and pointed.

“Suit yourself,” I answered dully.

She sat. She had a packed lunch- the sign of a dork in the making. I watched her open and prepare her food. There was no meat in it. I blinked in confusion. She must have noticed...
