So for all those who don't know yet, Hannah is awesome, and inspired me awesomely. And I just kind of went for it. So here is a VERY rough 1st draft. I think this will be a journal entry and/or class writing assignment. Hope you enjoy!
25 things that SUCK
By Sarah Palmer
- Weston
- Having English with Weston
- Being stuck working on the R & J project with Weston
- Weston thinking we're friends
- Having to see the pity in Weston's eyes after he realized how much fixing my car cost
- People still believing that rumor he spread about me and Kenny that started this whole thing
- The fact that he didn't press charges when I backed into him because I could have pressed charges about the rumor and stuck him on the sex offender's list for life. Ok that's not so bad. Leverage. Have it.
- Holly being gone
- Lyle being the only one that matters because I'm "grown up"
- Mom never talking about it
- Holding it all inside
- Making varsity for soccer and then feeling like a benchwarmer except every now and then when Jess can't play for some reason.
- Having no friends
- Wondering where to sit at lunch when you're invisible
- Never knowing if it was because of me
- Feeling like it was my fault anyway
- The way mom gazes out the window when she dries the dishes after dinner. For a moment, she isn't mom. She is just Jacqueline. And she inhabits a faraway place that involves a man that she loves. And her eyes get misty and when I ask her what she's thinking about she always shakes it off and pretends she doesn't know what I'm talking about. I want to go to that place. I want to live in the dreamland where he's still here. Where it never happened. I hate that mom is so greedy that she won't share our imaginary happily ever after.
- Staying up past midnight studying and still feeling like it's not enough
- Feeling like I'm always on overdrive
- Football
- Quarterbacks
- Styling Wax
- Old Spice
- Starbucks
- Weston
