Yesterday, I was asking my teacher if I could go to the library. She asked me to write a pass. While I was standing there someone said something funny. I laughed. By then my teacher had signed the pass and I was on my way out. One girl said, "Oo! I love your laugh! It is so cute!...April Fool's!"
...
Did April Fool's give her some secret special pass that I did not know about to be mean? And then i remembered. Nope. She does things like this all the time. In my school, almost everyone does that. You'd like to think being in a academic clique, like Theater or Band, would change that but nope. There is no complete safe haven.
I turn to my Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) and the few good people in my school for comfort. But can you ever escape what is said? Next time I laugh, I will hear her little voice in my head.
The EYC seems to be my only safe haven from mean comments. We care about one another even though, we do not even know one another. But we do know that everyone has a story and everyone is not completely whole.
I am off to make my breakfast.
