Yeah. Fuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, I haven&#8217;t seen you before. When did you move in? I don&#8217;t know. Really. They just dropped me off here. You know, my kids do the same to me. You know, there are so few men at this place. The girl can get lonely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what? And now I had some old stuff like you could really brighten my day. How would you like to come back to my room? I mean, okay, is there like beer there or something? I like the way you think. You&#8217;re thinking fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Girl, whose sister overdosed? I held my books too close to my chest while kids pointed at me and saying stuff, like she&#8217;s the one who sisters in a coma. One kid stopped me in the hallway and said I heard your sister choked on a hamburger bun and died. In the school library, as I search for a book about Lucille Ball from my book report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A teacher, I didn&#8217;t know walked over to me and offered her condolences. For what I asked. Or your sister&#8217;s passing, she replied. I draw my books and ran to the principal&#8217;s office to call my mom. I was just at the hospital she said I can assure you, your sister&#8217;s not But a teacher told me, I implored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s okay Kathleen. People just want to be involved. They think it&#8217;s exciting. A few minutes later. My mom and I were watching the local news, when they announced that the girl who had OD at the local Juna, High School had died. We called the hospital and couldn&#8217;t get anyone to tell us anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we drove 100 miles an hour to check on her. Good times is still in a coma, but she was alive. Looking back on it now I realized I got a lot of unwanted media training during that time. I learned that people love to attach themselves to fame, even if it involves disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that journalists are not always accurate. I was definitely famous in moral now. But not for something good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suggestion box. My sister eventually woke up out of her coma and my parents pretended like nothing had happened. I remember thinking they were completely insane. She got no help, no punishment, just silence. As if we were both being rewarded for her near-death, overdose we got to leave the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can&#8217;t really know how to party. Yeah.
