"Christopher." Tim said taking the cigarette out of his hand. He walked over to the sidewalk and stomped on it. "She should be mad. She should be furious with him." Christopher said. "She is." Tim said. "She sure isn't showing it." Christopher said. "She's in love with him. She's going to do whatever it takes to get their marriage back on track." Tim said. Mom walked over to us. "Ready?" She asked. Christopher stood up. "Yup." He said. We got in the car and went home. I decided to head back to my dorm.
5:45 PM Christina said... I wanted to get high so bad. I knocked on Tristin's door, but she didn't answer. I sighed and walked back to my door. I looked down the hall and remembered were Janey's room was. I walked to her room and knocked on her door. She opened it and looked surprised to see me. "Hey! What are you doing here?" She asked suspiciously. "Sorry. Do you have any more pot?" I asked. "Yeah, come in." She said, and opened her door. I stepped in and looked around.
6:47 PM Sarah said... She had Marilyn Manson posters all over her walls and that was it. Her room was very bare. She had a computer on the floor in the corner of the room and a twin bed in the other corner. Her closet was a big mess. Clothes were piled on the floor really high and she had a stack of books in front of the clothes. "Am I turning you into a pot head?" She asked. I just shrugged my shoulders. "I've had a rough morning." I said. "Well, I have to go get some books from the library, then I'm meeting a friend for lunch. But, here." She said handing me a make up case. "Get the case back to me, no rush though." She said. "Thanks." I said taking it from her. She picked up a bag and I followed her out to the hall. "See ya." She said. I went back to my room and layed on my bed debating whether or not I should smoke.
7:31 AM Christina said... I sighed, and got up and opened my window. I lit a candle, and locked my door, then sat down in the middle of my floor, and opened the case. There was a pipe and small bag of weed, and a lighter. I loaded it up and took a hit. I imediatly felt alot calmer. I knew I was going to have to eventually stop, but I decided that time wasn't now.
9:20 AM Sarah said... I reached over to my little boom box and pushed play on the cassette player. It was an old tape I had recorded of a Mariah Carey concert. It made me laugh. I layed down and started singing along quietly. I couldn't beleive I remembered all the words. I started to miss Matt. I had a lot of fun with him and I felt bad for hurting him. I almost called him, then decided it was too soon.
9:28 AM Sarah said... This post has been removed by a blog administrator.
9:31 AM Christina said... I felt really lonely. I just wanted to see someone. I layed around for awhile then decided to go walk around. I put Janey's makeup case in my bag and then left my dorm. It was a Saturday, and there were only afew classes that met on the weekends, so campus was pretty much deserted. I just walked around for a while looking at stuff. I thought about going to the library, but figured I probably wouldn't be able concentrate on anything. I saw a bench out by the football field, so I walked over and layed down on it. The team was practicing so I just layed there and watched.
9:45 AM Sarah said... They all ran to a row of benches to drink some water. One of the guys took his shirt off and squirted some water on his face and chest. He looked over at me as he drank some of his water. He shook his head and water flew out of his hair all around him. He took another sip of his water and set down the bottle. He looked at me as the guys ran back to the field. He smiled at me and ran after them. He was a little too built for my taste, but there was something about him that caught my attention. I kept my eyes on him as they played. After a while, they ran back to the benches and grabbed their things. Some of them left. A few of them stood there talking. He was talking to another one of the guys and the other guy turned and looked at me. I smiled, because I figured he was telling him something about me. I sat up and the guy he was talking to ran over to me. "I'm Ted." He said. I smiled. "And I'm Ally." I said. "My friend Cody has his eye on you." He said laughing. "He wants to know if you're single." I giggled. "Yes, I'm single." "He's a little shy." He said laughing. "Takes him a while to warm up to people." "I'm shy too." I said smiling. "Then why don't you bring a friend to this party." He said pulling a flier out of his bag. "It's our friend Toby's birthday bash. We went all out. He's turning 25." He handed me the flier. "Thanks." I said smiling. "Yeah so bring a friend so you're not uncomfortable." He said. "Preferably a chick." "Definatly. Thanks." I said smiling. I could tell I was blushing. He looked at me with his eyes squinted. "Cody doesn't smoke." He said. I laughed. "I rarely do." "Good." He said laughing. He walked back over to Cody and they left.
10:57 AM Christina said... I walked back to my dorm and called Tristin. She finally answered. "I got invited to a party tonight, come with?" I asked her. "Uh, YEAH! Of course I'll come with. How've ya been?" She asked me. "Oh god! Where do I start? Wanna come hang out and I'll tell you all about it?" I asked. "Yeah, sure. Be right there." She said.
11:01 AM Sarah said... About five minutes later, she was knocking on my door. I got up and opened it. "Hello." She said walking in. I told her all about my morning and she let me vent for about an hour. We decided to start getting ready for the party and take our time. We wanted to look cute since there would be people from school there. We went to her room to do our nails and watch Coyote Ugly. "I wish I worked at a place like that." I said. "It would be so fun."
1:30 PM Christina said... "Me too! We'd be the hottest ones there." She said, and I laughed. We did each others makeup and hair, and then I helped her pick out an outfit. After that we walked over to my room to find something for me to wear. I put on my favorite pair of jeans and a light pink halter top to go with my nails. When we were done I looked up directions on my computer, and we were within walking distance, so we decided to just walk over. "Ready?" I asked Tristin. "I'm more then ready sweetheart." She said. We grabbed our purses and headed out.
1:39 PM Sarah said... We walked a few blocks and into the neighborhood. I found the house and knocked on the door. We were both nervous and not sure what to expect. The door opened and some guy was standing there. He just stared at us. "Ted invited us." I said. He laughed. "I was wondering who the hell you were." He said. "Come in." We walked into the house. To the right there was a pool table and a bar in the corner. There were a lot of people in the house. We walked further and the kitchen was to the left. We walked into the kitchen and it was packed with loud people. We felt awkward, because we didn't know anyone. A lot of the people there looked older than us too. "Here." Ted said. We turned around and he had two cups of beer in his hands. We each took one from him. "Cody's in the back!" He shouted pointing to the next room. We walked back there and it was full of people as well. Cody was sitting on the couch talking to a guy. He looked up at me and then continued talking to his friend. We sat down on the recliner together and watched people walk by.
2:14 PM Christina said... "Talk to her!" I heard the guy talking to Cody whisper. "No.Shh." Cody said. I tried not to smile, and pretended I didn't hear anything. His friend pushed him, and Cody turned to me. "Hi." He said. "Hey. I'm Allison. I go by Ally." I told him. "Cody." He said, and caughed. "Uh, can I get you a beer?" He asked. Tristin giggled. I held up my beer. "No thanks! Ted covered me." I said. "Oh, okay." He said. It got quiet. "So you play football?" I asked. "Yeah." He said. His friend hit him in the arm. "Dude, you suck at this! I'm Scott." His friend said, and shook my hand. Thenk Tristins. "Tristin." She told him. "Cody needs to loosen up a bit. I'm going to go get some shots ready. I would love if a pretty lady would join me." Scott said, looking at Tristin. She giggled, and stood up. "I would love to." She said. He stood up, and she linked her arm in his and the left. "I'm kind of shy too." I told him. He laughed. "Sorry. I'm just never sure what to say. I thought you were so pretty when I saw you on the field today. I took a nast tackle because I watching you." He said, and lifted up his shirt showing me a huge bruise on his side. "Oh my god! Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah. I'm glad you came." He said.
2:27 PM Sarah said... I smiled. "Me too." I said. We both just sat there. I tried not to laugh. I started biting my nails. I almost laughed a few times, because I felt dumb. Tristin and Scott walked over to us with shots. "This is the only shot I am doing tonight. I am not getting wasted." I said. Tristin laughed and handed me the shot. I drank it. "Hey! You didn't wait for me, brat!" She said. The three of them drank theirs. Scott took our glasses back to the kitchen. "What are you going to school for?" Tristin asked Cody. "I'm still not sure. I got in with a football scholarship." He said. "Oh cool." She said smiling. He just nodded. Scott came running up to us and jumped over the back of the couch laughing. "Already drunk?" Tristin asked him. "You know it!" He said. "I'll be back in a little bit." Cody said standing up. Scott looked into the kitchen. "Dude." He said. "I just want to say hi." Cody said and walked away. "His ex girlfriend, Patricia just walked in." Scott told us.
3:41 PM Christina said... "Ahhh. I see." I said. "Well, since he's aparently preoccupied, I say we do something. I'm getting bored sitting around." He said. "Yeah, me too." I said, and Tristin laughed. "What did you have in mind?" She asked. "Pool? Cards? Music? I don't know. Lets go find the birthday boy! He always knows what to do. Plus he's REALLY drunk, so he'll be funny. Come on!" Scott said, and jumped up. Tristin and I kept laughing.
3:46 PM Sarah said... We followed him through the kitchen and down a hallway. He peaked into a room and started laughing really hard. He walked into the room. There was a guy laying on the floor with shaving cream all over him and what looked like mustard squirted all over him. "Happy Birthday, buddy." He said kicking him in the side. "So I guess the birthday boy is out for the night." He said laughing. "Aww that is so mean." I said.
3:55 PM Christina said... Tristin was laughing so hard. "Funny too!" She said. "So what now?" I asked. A group of people came running down the hall, and a guy stopped in the room. He picked me up and I screamed. "What are you doing?" I shouted, laughing. One of them grabbed Tristin and they ran off with us. "SCOTT!" I yelled.
4:10 PM Sarah said... They went running outside and threw us in the pool. I got water all up my nose and I swallowed a bunch. I quickly got out of the pool coughing and I started throwing up in the rocks. "Oh shit." The guy said. "Are you okay?" Tristin got out of the pool and her eyes were bright red and she sounded like she was having trouble breathing. She sat down in the rocks and started throwing up too. "I'm so sorry." The guy said. "I'm Bill, but you probably hate me now." Tristin and I looked at eachother and started laughing. We were both really mad, but we couldn't help but laugh at the site of eachother. "What the hell was that for?" Tristin asked rudly. "We're sorry. Just trying to have fun." Bill said. "Yeah. That was real fun. Thanks for that. I think that was the most fuckin fun I've had in years." She said. They both looked at her, then walked away. "My chest hurts really bad." She said. She started throwing up again. I scooted over to her and rubbed her back. I felt like shit. "Do you want to leave?" I asked. She started crying and nodded. Scott walked over to us. "Are you okay? Bill said you chewed him out." He said to Tristin. We both stood up. "We have to go." I said. "I hope you feel better." He said. I started shivering a lot and so did Tristin. "Follow me." Scott said taking our hands. He led us to a bedroom. "Be right back." He left and came back with two towels. He wraped one around each of us. "I'm gonna throw up again." Tristin said starting to cry more.
4:28 PM Christina said... "Here." He said, and led her to the bathroom that was in the room. "I'm so, so sorry! I'm gonna kick his ass for this one." Scott said. "I'd give you a ride, but I'm pretty drunk. I can walk you guys home though." He said. "Thats okay. We'll be fine." I told him. "Please? I feel so horrible. Can at least call you a cab?" He asked. "And climb in soaking wet? Thats okay." I said. "What a total ass!" Scott said again. "Hey, it's over now. I just want to get Tristin and I back home." I said. "I'll just call her boyfriend to come get us. Would you feel better if I did that?" I asked him. "Yeah. I hate the thought of you guys walking home soaking wet and partially drunk." He said.
4:32 PM Sarah said... I grabbed her phone out of her purse and called Brian. He said he would pick us up in a few minutes. "You can take the towels home." He said. We went outside with the towels around us. "I feel like such an idiot." She said. "All those people saw me throwing up." "Screw them. I don't like hanging out with those stupid phrat boys." I said. "This is why I am at home all the time." "And hooking up with older smart men. I can see why now." She said. "I think I want to be with Todd though. I think we're both good for eachother. It's like we both make up for what the other person lacks. We're like two puzzle peices that fit together." I said. She giggled. "He is a great guy, Ally." She smiled. We sat down on the curb while we waited for him. We were both shivering even with the towels around us. She put her arm around me. "Sorry, I'm fucking freezing." She said. I laughed. "It's okay."
4:41 PM Christina said... We heard a bunch of people start whisling behind us. "Oh great." I said. "KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS!" They started shouting. "FUCK OFF!" I shouted, turning around. "Oh, I'll fuck off with you any day!" One of the guys shouted. I just sighed. We saw Brian pull up, so we stood up. "Oh come on, where are you pretty ladies going?" The asked. "DUDE! FUCK OFF!" I heard another guy shout. I looked up and it was Scott. He was shouting at the group of guys.
7:12 PM Sarah said... We rushed into the car and Brian pulled away. "Why do you go to these parties, sweets?" He asked her. "I don't know. I really don't feel well though. I swallowed a ton of water. I thought I was going to drown." She said. He put his hand on her leg and rubbed it. "Are you okay?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I just have a horrible headache now and I'm cold." I said. "I'm gonna call Todd when I get home."
7:30 PM Christina said... "Okay. You should." Tristin said. "Are you okay, baby? You don't look so good." Brian said. She shook her head no. "Your coming to my dorm tonight. You still have some pajamas and stuff over there. Ally, I'll drop you off." He said. "Okay. Thanks." I told him. I got out, said thank you to brian, and walked up to my dorm. I changed into pajamas, turned on the classic movie channel, and then called Todd.
7:54 PM Sarah said... He said he would be right over. He got there a few minutes later with a coffee for me. We layed down in bed and watched TV. The movie, Some Like It Hot came on. "This one is funny." I said. Todd rolled his eyes, but when the movie started, he was laughing with me.
9:15 PM Christina said... "I told you it was funny!" I said, when it was over. "Okay, okay, it was funny." he admitted. "Todd. Stay here, okay." I told him, and curled up to him. "Okay, I'll stay the night" He said and kissed me.
9:48 PM Sarah said... I fell asleep and woke up a few hours later to my phone ringing. "What the hell." I mumbled. I got up and grabbed my phone to answer it. "Hello?" I asked yawning. "Hi. It's Brian. Sorry to wake you. I took Tristin into the hospital, because she kept feeling worse and worse. They have this tube through her nose and into her stomach. They said she swallowed way too much water." He said. "Oh my god!" I said. "Are you okay? Does your chest hurt or anything?" He asked. "My throat is just sore." I said. "And you havn't thrown up anymore, have you?" He asked. "No." "Good." He said. "Should I come down there?" I asked. "You could come by in the morning. Right now she can't talk well cause of the tube." He said. "Okay." I said. "I'll see you in the morning." "Okay. We're at Bowser." He said. "Sounds good. See you in the morning." I said. "Bye." He said.
9:41 AM Christina said... "Whats wrong?" Todd mumbled. I told him about Tristing. "Oh, shit! Is she okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I think so. We can see her in the morning. How am I going to sleep now?" I asked. I was so worried about Tristin. "Hey, she'll be okay. Come here." He said, and hugged me. I felt so much better with him there with me. We talked for a little while, and I was able to fall asleep again. The next morning we woke up early, and went straight to the hospital.
9:45 AM Sarah said... Brian was sleeping on a couch in the waiting room. He woke up as we were walking up to him. "Oh hey guys." He said. "She's doing good. All of her tests came out good. She can go home tonight." "Oh good!" I said.
10:00 AM Christina said... "Visiting hours arent for another hour. Wanna get some food? I'm starving." Brian said. "Yeah, sure." I told him. "There is an IHOP on the corner. I don't really want to attempt to eat hospital food." He said. "Sounds fine, lets go. We'll drive, you look pretty tired." I told him. "I am. I was worried about her. She means everything to me." He said.
1:34 PM Sarah said... "Wow." I said smiling. "What?" He asked. "Have you told her that?" I asked. "No. . ." He answered. I laughed. "You should." "I will." He said. We got to IHOP and got seated right away.
3:08 PM Christina said... Brian must have been starving because he ate a ton of food. He even finished off my pancakes. When we were done we drove back over to the hospital and went to Tristins room. "Hi guys." She whispered. Her voice was all raspy. "Awww. Hi sweaty." I said, and walked over to her bed. She held her arm out, and I gave her a hug.
3:31 PM Sarah said... "I'm so glad they took that damn tube out of my nose." She said smiling. "I'm going to kill those assholes." I just smiled. "I know they didn't mean to hurt us." She said. "It just sucked. I wasn't expecting to be thrown in the pool at all and I was a little drunk, so I didn't even realize I was going into the pool until it was too late." "Me too." I said.
3:43 PM Christina said... Brian walked over and kissed her forehead. "Love you." He said. "Love you too baby." She told him. We sat with her for most of the day untill the doctor came in and said she was alright to leave. Her mom and Tyler came by to take her back to their house for a few days. "I guess I'll see you at school in a few days." She told me as we were hugging good bye. "Of course. I'll miss you." I told her, and she giggled. "What?" I asked. "I'll be back wednesday." She said. "I know, but your fun to have around." I told her. We said goodbye and then Todd drove me back to my dorm. I hadn't had a chance to work on my homework all weekend.
4:33 PM Sarah said... I layed down on my floor and did all of my homework. It was ten when I finally finished it all. I was so tired. I took a shower and went to bed.
5:58 AM Christina said... The next morning in Mr. Bores class I sat towards the back because I was so tired. I didn't want him to see me if I started zoning out or falling asleep. After class it took me a few minutes to pack up my things, so I was one of the last people left in the room. "Alison, are you busy?" Shawn asked.
8:05 AM Sarah said... "Nope." I said. "Can you meet me in the library at five to go over the rest of the seminar?" He asked. "Yeah. Of course." I said smiling. "Great. See you then. Have a good day." He said. I smiled and left.
10:29 AM Christina said... I rushed to my next class and realized I left my essay sitting on my desk in my dorm! When I told the teacher she told me I'd just have to accept 10 points off my grade and turn it in the next day. I was so mad! My dorm wasn't too far from that building, but she wouldn't let me leave to go get it. When class was over I was so tired and angry, I didn't even bother eating lunch. I just sat at a table and rested my head on my bag.
11:46 AM Sarah said... When lunch was over, I went to my next class. The teachers toupee looked even worse. I tried so hard not to laugh. He had new glasses too that looked even thicker than the other ones. I had to try hard not to laugh at him. When class was over, I headed back to my dorm.
4:17 PM Christina said... When I got there my phone wrang. It was my mom telling me they had scheduled another counceling session with the same lady. "Mom, I'm not going. That lady has no idea what she is doing." I told her. "Please just do this honey. For me." She said. "Okay, fine. But if she starts the same stuff, I'm leaving." I told her. "Thank you." She said, and hung up. I really didn't want to go, and felt crummy, but I wanted to be there for my mom. I took a shower and changed, then drove over to the ladys office. Tim was already there waiting in the parking lot. He must have just gotten off work because he was still dressed up.
8:37 AM Sarah said... He gave me a hug. "How is school?" He asked as we walked towards the office. "It's alright." I said. We walked into the office and sat down. Everyone else walked in soon after. We all walked into the lady's office and sat down. I looked at her name on her desk. I realized she had never even introduced herself. Her name was Millie Nuevos. I was frustrated already. "I'll go grab some cups so you can have some water." She said walking out of her office. "If any of you say one rude word to her, I'm going to be very upset." Mom said. "She is a nice lady and she does know what she is doing whether you want to beleive it or not." She looked at me. "You are not an expert, Allison." I rolled my eyes as Millie walked back in the room.
10:19 AM Christina said... I looked at Christopher, Tim, then Dad, and couldn't help but feel that Millie was just making things worse. I sighed and decided to give her the benifit of the doubt. She came back with cups, but only mom wanted water. She pulled her chair from behind her desk, and had us move our chairs so we were all sitting in a circle. "How is everyone today?" She asked no one said anything. My mom cleared her throat. "Good." We all muttered. "Great." Millie said. "I know you were all just here, but I thought it would be benificial to continue our last session right away. I would like to start by-" She stopped and looked at Christopher. "Christopher, are you alright?" She asked him. "Yeah, I'm fine." He said. "Tired." I looked at him, and he did look tired. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a mess. I felt bad for him. Millie wrote something down in our file, and then continued. "I wanted to quote Freud before we get started. Keep this in mind as we work through our session today. 'Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of oursleves." She said. Tim and I both laughed. "Is that funny?" She asked. Tim looked at me and nodded for me to answer. "Freud didn't say that." I told her. "Yes he did." She said. "No, Carl Jung said that." I told her. "He also said 'If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool." "Dont forget, "If there is anything we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.” Tim added. "Well, moving on." She said, sounding irritated.
10:57 AM Sarah said... "I think that was a very nice way to get things started, Millie." Mom said smiling. Millie nodded. "We're going to do an exercise." She said picking up some papers off her desk.
11:30 AM Christina said... "I want all of you to write down one thing that annoys you, or that you can't stand about everyone in this room. Including myself. Then, I want you to write down one thing that you love about everyone in this room. Including myself." She said, and handed out a piece of paper and a pen to everyone. "Okay, I'll give you a few minutes, starting now." She said.
11:48 AM Sarah said... After a few minutes, she stopped us. "Okay, we're going to start with Christopher. Allison, will you read what you wrote about him?" She said looking at me. "Christopher, it bothers me that you keep your life so private and secret from everyone." I said. "But, what I love is how caring you are. You always put everyone elses happiness before yours." Christopher smiled. "Thanks." He said.
2:21 PM Christina said... "Tim." Millie said. "Chris, I don't like how you always get away with everything. I really like your innocense, and how you can hide how smart you really are." Tim said. Christopher was on the other side of Tim, so we skipped him, and my mom went next. "Christopher, it bothers me how you talk to me. I'm really proud of how independant you are, even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it." She said. My dad went next. "Christopher, I hate how you are always sneak around. It's like you are always up to something. I do like how you are so able to take care of yourself." He said. "Okay, very good. Next we'll do Allison. Tim we'll start with you." Millie said.
2:34 PM Sarah said... "I guess I don't like how much you avoid the family." He said. "When you're home, you're always in your bedroom. But, I love how smart you are and how dedicated you are at school and being succesful." I smiled. We all looked at Christopher. "I don't like that everyone sees you as a perfect little princess, because they have no idea what you are doing all the time." He said. "But, like he said. No matter what you are doing, you're being smart about it, because it never affects your hard work and dedication."
3:59 PM Christina said... It was weird hearing negative things about me. I tried to think about the postive things, but I couldn't help but think about what they had both said. "I don't like how you act like you are smarter then everyone else, or that you are so stubborn. But I do like that you are so smart." My mom said. When it was my dads turn he took a deep breath. I didn't really want to hear what he had to say.
4:07 PM Sarah said... "It's hard for me to come up with anything negative about my Ally." He said. He paused and looked like he was getting choked up. "The only thing that bothers me about you. . ." Everyone just stared at him. Tim looked down at the floor and sighed. "I guess the fact that you don't make an effot anymore with our relationship. We use to be so close, All." He said. I nodded. "I know." I said. "I know that you're very busy with school and trying very hard. You're a very smart girl." He said. "I think you're a great role model for your brother to look up to." "I'll try to be around more." I said starting to cry.

"Christopher." Tim said taking the cigarette out of his hand. He walked over to the sidewalk and stomped on it.
"She should be mad. She should be furious with him." Christopher said.
"She is." Tim said.
"She sure isn't showing it." Christopher said.
"She's in love with him. She's going to do whatever it takes to get their marriage back on track." Tim said.
Mom walked over to us. "Ready?" She asked.
Christopher stood up. "Yup." He said.
We got in the car and went home. I decided to head back to my dorm.
5:45 PM
Christina said...
I wanted to get high so bad. I knocked on Tristin's door, but she didn't answer. I sighed and walked back to my door. I looked down the hall and remembered were Janey's room was. I walked to her room and knocked on her door.
She opened it and looked surprised to see me.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" She asked suspiciously.
"Sorry. Do you have any more pot?" I asked.
"Yeah, come in." She said, and opened her door. I stepped in and looked around.
6:47 PM
Sarah said...
She had Marilyn Manson posters all over her walls and that was it. Her room was very bare. She had a computer on the floor in the corner of the room and a twin bed in the other corner. Her closet was a big mess. Clothes were piled on the floor really high and she had a stack of books in front of the clothes. "Am I turning you into a pot head?" She asked.
I just shrugged my shoulders. "I've had a rough morning." I said.
"Well, I have to go get some books from the library, then I'm meeting a friend for lunch. But, here." She said handing me a make up case. "Get the case back to me, no rush though." She said.
"Thanks." I said taking it from her. She picked up a bag and I followed her out to the hall.
"See ya." She said.
I went back to my room and layed on my bed debating whether or not I should smoke.
7:31 AM
Christina said...
I sighed, and got up and opened my window. I lit a candle, and locked my door, then sat down in the middle of my floor, and opened the case. There was a pipe and small bag of weed, and a lighter. I loaded it up and took a hit. I imediatly felt alot calmer. I knew I was going to have to eventually stop, but I decided that time wasn't now.

I reached over to my little boom box and pushed play on the cassette player. It was an old tape I had recorded of a Mariah Carey concert. It made me laugh. I layed down and started singing along quietly. I couldn't beleive I remembered all the words. I started to miss Matt. I had a lot of fun with him and I felt bad for hurting him. I almost called him, then decided it was too soon.

I felt really lonely. I just wanted to see someone. I layed around for awhile then decided to go walk around. I put Janey's makeup case in my bag and then left my dorm. It was a Saturday, and there were only afew classes that met on the weekends, so campus was pretty much deserted. I just walked around for a while looking at stuff. I thought about going to the library, but figured I probably wouldn't be able concentrate on anything. I saw a bench out by the football field, so I walked over and layed down on it. The team was practicing so I just layed there and watched.

They all ran to a row of benches to drink some water. One of the guys took his shirt off and squirted some water on his face and chest. He looked over at me as he drank some of his water. He shook his head and water flew out of his hair all around him. He took another sip of his water and set down the bottle. He looked at me as the guys ran back to the field. He smiled at me and ran after them. He was a little too built for my taste, but there was something about him that caught my attention. I kept my eyes on him as they played. After a while, they ran back to the benches and grabbed their things. Some of them left. A few of them stood there talking. He was talking to another one of the guys and the other guy turned and looked at me. I smiled, because I figured he was telling him something about me. I sat up and the guy he was talking to ran over to me. "I'm Ted." He said. I smiled. "And I'm Ally." I said.
"My friend Cody has his eye on you." He said laughing. "He wants to know if you're single."
I giggled. "Yes, I'm single."
"He's a little shy." He said laughing. "Takes him a while to warm up to people."
"I'm shy too." I said smiling.
"Then why don't you bring a friend to this party." He said pulling a flier out of his bag. "It's our friend Toby's birthday bash. We went all out. He's turning 25." He handed me the flier.
"Thanks." I said smiling.
"Yeah so bring a friend so you're not uncomfortable." He said. "Preferably a chick."
"Definatly. Thanks." I said smiling. I could tell I was blushing.
He looked at me with his eyes squinted. "Cody doesn't smoke." He said.
I laughed. "I rarely do."
"Good." He said laughing. He walked back over to Cody and they left.
10:57 AM

I walked back to my dorm and called Tristin. She finally answered.
"I got invited to a party tonight, come with?" I asked her.
"Uh, YEAH! Of course I'll come with. How've ya been?" She asked me.
"Oh god! Where do I start? Wanna come hang out and I'll tell you all about it?" I asked.
"Yeah, sure. Be right there." She said.
11:01 AM
Sarah said...
About five minutes later, she was knocking on my door. I got up and opened it. "Hello." She said walking in. I told her all about my morning and she let me vent for about an hour. We decided to start getting ready for the party and take our time. We wanted to look cute since there would be people from school there. We went to her room to do our nails and watch Coyote Ugly. "I wish I worked at a place like that." I said. "It would be so fun."
1:30 PM
Christina said...
"Me too! We'd be the hottest ones there." She said, and I laughed. We did each others makeup and hair, and then I helped her pick out an outfit. After that we walked over to my room to find something for me to wear. I put on my favorite pair of jeans and a light pink halter top to go with my nails. When we were done I looked up directions on my computer, and we were within walking distance, so we decided to just walk over.
"Ready?" I asked Tristin.
"I'm more then ready sweetheart." She said. We grabbed our purses and headed out.
1:39 PM
Sarah said...
We walked a few blocks and into the neighborhood. I found the house and knocked on the door. We were both nervous and not sure what to expect. The door opened and some guy was standing there. He just stared at us. "Ted invited us." I said.
He laughed. "I was wondering who the hell you were." He said. "Come in."
We walked into the house. To the right there was a pool table and a bar in the corner. There were a lot of people in the house. We walked further and the kitchen was to the left. We walked into the kitchen and it was packed with loud people. We felt awkward, because we didn't know anyone. A lot of the people there looked older than us too. "Here." Ted said. We turned around and he had two cups of beer in his hands. We each took one from him. "Cody's in the back!" He shouted pointing to the next room. We walked back there and it was full of people as well. Cody was sitting on the couch talking to a guy. He looked up at me and then continued talking to his friend. We sat down on the recliner together and watched people walk by.
2:14 PM
Christina said...
"Talk to her!" I heard the guy talking to Cody whisper.
"No.Shh." Cody said. I tried not to smile, and pretended I didn't hear anything. His friend pushed him, and Cody turned to me.
"Hi." He said.
"Hey. I'm Allison. I go by Ally." I told him.
"Cody." He said, and caughed. "Uh, can I get you a beer?" He asked. Tristin giggled. I held up my beer.
"No thanks! Ted covered me." I said.
"Oh, okay." He said. It got quiet.
"So you play football?" I asked.
"Yeah." He said. His friend hit him in the arm.
"Dude, you suck at this! I'm Scott." His friend said, and shook my hand. Thenk Tristins.
"Tristin." She told him.
"Cody needs to loosen up a bit. I'm going to go get some shots ready. I would love if a pretty lady would join me." Scott said, looking at Tristin. She giggled, and stood up.
"I would love to." She said. He stood up, and she linked her arm in his and the left.
"I'm kind of shy too." I told him. He laughed.
"Sorry. I'm just never sure what to say. I thought you were so pretty when I saw you on the field today. I took a nast tackle because I watching you." He said, and lifted up his shirt showing me a huge bruise on his side.
"Oh my god! Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm glad you came." He said.
2:27 PM
Sarah said...
I smiled. "Me too." I said.
We both just sat there. I tried not to laugh. I started biting my nails. I almost laughed a few times, because I felt dumb. Tristin and Scott walked over to us with shots. "This is the only shot I am doing tonight. I am not getting wasted." I said.
Tristin laughed and handed me the shot. I drank it. "Hey! You didn't wait for me, brat!" She said.
The three of them drank theirs. Scott took our glasses back to the kitchen. "What are you going to school for?" Tristin asked Cody.
"I'm still not sure. I got in with a football scholarship." He said.
"Oh cool." She said smiling.
He just nodded. Scott came running up to us and jumped over the back of the couch laughing. "Already drunk?" Tristin asked him.
"You know it!" He said.
"I'll be back in a little bit." Cody said standing up.
Scott looked into the kitchen. "Dude." He said.
"I just want to say hi." Cody said and walked away.
"His ex girlfriend, Patricia just walked in." Scott told us.
3:41 PM
Christina said...
"Ahhh. I see." I said.
"Well, since he's aparently preoccupied, I say we do something. I'm getting bored sitting around." He said.
"Yeah, me too." I said, and Tristin laughed.
"What did you have in mind?" She asked.
"Pool? Cards? Music? I don't know. Lets go find the birthday boy! He always knows what to do. Plus he's REALLY drunk, so he'll be funny. Come on!" Scott said, and jumped up. Tristin and I kept laughing.
3:46 PM
Sarah said...
We followed him through the kitchen and down a hallway. He peaked into a room and started laughing really hard. He walked into the room. There was a guy laying on the floor with shaving cream all over him and what looked like mustard squirted all over him. "Happy Birthday, buddy." He said kicking him in the side.
"So I guess the birthday boy is out for the night." He said laughing.
"Aww that is so mean." I said.
3:55 PM
Christina said...
Tristin was laughing so hard.
"Funny too!" She said.
"So what now?" I asked. A group of people came running down the hall, and a guy stopped in the room. He picked me up and I screamed.
"What are you doing?" I shouted, laughing. One of them grabbed Tristin and they ran off with us.
"SCOTT!" I yelled.
4:10 PM
Sarah said...
They went running outside and threw us in the pool. I got water all up my nose and I swallowed a bunch. I quickly got out of the pool coughing and I started throwing up in the rocks. "Oh shit." The guy said. "Are you okay?"
Tristin got out of the pool and her eyes were bright red and she sounded like she was having trouble breathing. She sat down in the rocks and started throwing up too. "I'm so sorry." The guy said. "I'm Bill, but you probably hate me now."
Tristin and I looked at eachother and started laughing. We were both really mad, but we couldn't help but laugh at the site of eachother.
"What the hell was that for?" Tristin asked rudly.
"We're sorry. Just trying to have fun." Bill said.
"Yeah. That was real fun. Thanks for that. I think that was the most fuckin fun I've had in years." She said. They both looked at her, then walked away.
"My chest hurts really bad." She said. She started throwing up again. I scooted over to her and rubbed her back. I felt like shit. "Do you want to leave?" I asked. She started crying and nodded. Scott walked over to us. "Are you okay? Bill said you chewed him out." He said to Tristin.
We both stood up. "We have to go." I said.
"I hope you feel better." He said.
I started shivering a lot and so did Tristin. "Follow me." Scott said taking our hands. He led us to a bedroom. "Be right back." He left and came back with two towels. He wraped one around each of us. "I'm gonna throw up again." Tristin said starting to cry more.
4:28 PM
Christina said...
"Here." He said, and led her to the bathroom that was in the room.
"I'm so, so sorry! I'm gonna kick his ass for this one." Scott said.
"I'd give you a ride, but I'm pretty drunk. I can walk you guys home though." He said.
"Thats okay. We'll be fine." I told him.
"Please? I feel so horrible. Can at least call you a cab?" He asked.
"And climb in soaking wet? Thats okay." I said.
"What a total ass!" Scott said again.
"Hey, it's over now. I just want to get Tristin and I back home." I said. "I'll just call her boyfriend to come get us. Would you feel better if I did that?" I asked him.
"Yeah. I hate the thought of you guys walking home soaking wet and partially drunk." He said.
4:32 PM
Sarah said...
I grabbed her phone out of her purse and called Brian. He said he would pick us up in a few minutes.
"You can take the towels home." He said. We went outside with the towels around us. "I feel like such an idiot." She said. "All those people saw me throwing up."
"Screw them. I don't like hanging out with those stupid phrat boys." I said. "This is why I am at home all the time."
"And hooking up with older smart men. I can see why now." She said.
"I think I want to be with Todd though. I think we're both good for eachother. It's like we both make up for what the other person lacks. We're like two puzzle peices that fit together." I said.
She giggled. "He is a great guy, Ally." She smiled. We sat down on the curb while we waited for him. We were both shivering even with the towels around us. She put her arm around me. "Sorry, I'm fucking freezing." She said. I laughed. "It's okay."
4:41 PM
Christina said...
We heard a bunch of people start whisling behind us.
"Oh great." I said.
"KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS!" They started shouting.
"FUCK OFF!" I shouted, turning around.
"Oh, I'll fuck off with you any day!" One of the guys shouted. I just sighed. We saw Brian pull up, so we stood up.
"Oh come on, where are you pretty ladies going?" The asked.
"DUDE! FUCK OFF!" I heard another guy shout. I looked up and it was Scott. He was shouting at the group of guys.
7:12 PM
Sarah said...
We rushed into the car and Brian pulled away. "Why do you go to these parties, sweets?" He asked her.
"I don't know. I really don't feel well though. I swallowed a ton of water. I thought I was going to drown." She said.
He put his hand on her leg and rubbed it. "Are you okay?" He asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I just have a horrible headache now and I'm cold." I said. "I'm gonna call Todd when I get home."
7:30 PM
Christina said...
"Okay. You should." Tristin said.
"Are you okay, baby? You don't look so good." Brian said. She shook her head no.
"Your coming to my dorm tonight. You still have some pajamas and stuff over there. Ally, I'll drop you off." He said.
"Okay. Thanks." I told him. I got out, said thank you to brian, and walked up to my dorm. I changed into pajamas, turned on the classic movie channel, and then called Todd.
7:54 PM
Sarah said...
He said he would be right over. He got there a few minutes later with a coffee for me. We layed down in bed and watched TV. The movie, Some Like It Hot came on. "This one is funny." I said.
Todd rolled his eyes, but when the movie started, he was laughing with me.
9:15 PM
Christina said...
"I told you it was funny!" I said, when it was over.
"Okay, okay, it was funny." he admitted.
"Todd. Stay here, okay." I told him, and curled up to him.
"Okay, I'll stay the night" He said and kissed me.
9:48 PM
Sarah said...
I fell asleep and woke up a few hours later to my phone ringing. "What the hell." I mumbled. I got up and grabbed my phone to answer it. "Hello?" I asked yawning.
"Hi. It's Brian. Sorry to wake you. I took Tristin into the hospital, because she kept feeling worse and worse. They have this tube through her nose and into her stomach. They said she swallowed way too much water." He said.
"Oh my god!" I said.
"Are you okay? Does your chest hurt or anything?" He asked.
"My throat is just sore." I said.
"And you havn't thrown up anymore, have you?" He asked.
"No."
"Good." He said.
"Should I come down there?" I asked.
"You could come by in the morning. Right now she can't talk well cause of the tube." He said.
"Okay." I said. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Okay. We're at Bowser." He said.
"Sounds good. See you in the morning." I said.
"Bye." He said.
9:41 AM
Christina said...
"Whats wrong?" Todd mumbled. I told him about Tristing.
"Oh, shit! Is she okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I think so. We can see her in the morning. How am I going to sleep now?" I asked. I was so worried about Tristin.
"Hey, she'll be okay. Come here." He said, and hugged me. I felt so much better with him there with me. We talked for a little while, and I was able to fall asleep again. The next morning we woke up early, and went straight to the hospital.
9:45 AM
Sarah said...
Brian was sleeping on a couch in the waiting room. He woke up as we were walking up to him. "Oh hey guys." He said. "She's doing good. All of her tests came out good. She can go home tonight."
"Oh good!" I said.
10:00 AM
Christina said...
"Visiting hours arent for another hour. Wanna get some food? I'm starving." Brian said.
"Yeah, sure." I told him.
"There is an IHOP on the corner. I don't really want to attempt to eat hospital food." He said.
"Sounds fine, lets go. We'll drive, you look pretty tired." I told him.
"I am. I was worried about her. She means everything to me." He said.
1:34 PM
Sarah said...
"Wow." I said smiling.
"What?" He asked.
"Have you told her that?" I asked.
"No. . ." He answered.
I laughed. "You should."
"I will." He said.
We got to IHOP and got seated right away.
3:08 PM
Christina said...
Brian must have been starving because he ate a ton of food. He even finished off my pancakes. When we were done we drove back over to the hospital and went to Tristins room.
"Hi guys." She whispered. Her voice was all raspy.
"Awww. Hi sweaty." I said, and walked over to her bed. She held her arm out, and I gave her a hug.
3:31 PM
Sarah said...
"I'm so glad they took that damn tube out of my nose." She said smiling. "I'm going to kill those assholes."
I just smiled.
"I know they didn't mean to hurt us." She said. "It just sucked. I wasn't expecting to be thrown in the pool at all and I was a little drunk, so I didn't even realize I was going into the pool until it was too late."
"Me too." I said.
3:43 PM
Christina said...
Brian walked over and kissed her forehead.
"Love you." He said.
"Love you too baby." She told him. We sat with her for most of the day untill the doctor came in and said she was alright to leave. Her mom and Tyler came by to take her back to their house for a few days.
"I guess I'll see you at school in a few days." She told me as we were hugging good bye.
"Of course. I'll miss you." I told her, and she giggled.
"What?" I asked.
"I'll be back wednesday." She said.
"I know, but your fun to have around." I told her. We said goodbye and then Todd drove me back to my dorm. I hadn't had a chance to work on my homework all weekend.
4:33 PM
Sarah said...
I layed down on my floor and did all of my homework. It was ten when I finally finished it all. I was so tired. I took a shower and went to bed.
5:58 AM
Christina said...
The next morning in Mr. Bores class I sat towards the back because I was so tired. I didn't want him to see me if I started zoning out or falling asleep. After class it took me a few minutes to pack up my things, so I was one of the last people left in the room.
"Alison, are you busy?" Shawn asked.
8:05 AM
Sarah said...
"Nope." I said.
"Can you meet me in the library at five to go over the rest of the seminar?" He asked.
"Yeah. Of course." I said smiling.
"Great. See you then. Have a good day." He said.
I smiled and left.
10:29 AM
Christina said...
I rushed to my next class and realized I left my essay sitting on my desk in my dorm! When I told the teacher she told me I'd just have to accept 10 points off my grade and turn it in the next day. I was so mad! My dorm wasn't too far from that building, but she wouldn't let me leave to go get it. When class was over I was so tired and angry, I didn't even bother eating lunch. I just sat at a table and rested my head on my bag.
11:46 AM
Sarah said...
When lunch was over, I went to my next class. The teachers toupee looked even worse. I tried so hard not to laugh. He had new glasses too that looked even thicker than the other ones. I had to try hard not to laugh at him. When class was over, I headed back to my dorm.
4:17 PM
Christina said...
When I got there my phone wrang. It was my mom telling me they had scheduled another counceling session with the same lady.
"Mom, I'm not going. That lady has no idea what she is doing." I told her.
"Please just do this honey. For me." She said.
"Okay, fine. But if she starts the same stuff, I'm leaving." I told her.
"Thank you." She said, and hung up. I really didn't want to go, and felt crummy, but I wanted to be there for my mom. I took a shower and changed, then drove over to the ladys office. Tim was already there waiting in the parking lot. He must have just gotten off work because he was still dressed up.
8:37 AM
Sarah said...
He gave me a hug. "How is school?" He asked as we walked towards the office.
"It's alright." I said.
We walked into the office and sat down. Everyone else walked in soon after. We all walked into the lady's office and sat down. I looked at her name on her desk. I realized she had never even introduced herself. Her name was Millie Nuevos. I was frustrated already. "I'll go grab some cups so you can have some water." She said walking out of her office.
"If any of you say one rude word to her, I'm going to be very upset." Mom said. "She is a nice lady and she does know what she is doing whether you want to beleive it or not." She looked at me. "You are not an expert, Allison."
I rolled my eyes as Millie walked back in the room.
10:19 AM
Christina said...
I looked at Christopher, Tim, then Dad, and couldn't help but feel that Millie was just making things worse. I sighed and decided to give her the benifit of the doubt. She came back with cups, but only mom wanted water. She pulled her chair from behind her desk, and had us move our chairs so we were all sitting in a circle.
"How is everyone today?" She asked no one said anything. My mom cleared her throat. "Good." We all muttered.
"Great." Millie said. "I know you were all just here, but I thought it would be benificial to continue our last session right away. I would like to start by-" She stopped and looked at Christopher.
"Christopher, are you alright?" She asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said. "Tired." I looked at him, and he did look tired. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hair was a mess. I felt bad for him. Millie wrote something down in our file, and then continued.
"I wanted to quote Freud before we get started. Keep this in mind as we work through our session today. 'Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of oursleves." She said. Tim and I both laughed.
"Is that funny?" She asked. Tim looked at me and nodded for me to answer.
"Freud didn't say that." I told her.
"Yes he did." She said.
"No, Carl Jung said that." I told her. "He also said 'If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool."
"Dont forget, "If there is anything we wish to change in the child, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that could better be changed in ourselves.” Tim added.
"Well, moving on." She said, sounding irritated.
10:57 AM
Sarah said...
"I think that was a very nice way to get things started, Millie." Mom said smiling.
Millie nodded. "We're going to do an exercise." She said picking up some papers off her desk.
11:30 AM
Christina said...
"I want all of you to write down one thing that annoys you, or that you can't stand about everyone in this room. Including myself. Then, I want you to write down one thing that you love about everyone in this room. Including myself." She said, and handed out a piece of paper and a pen to everyone.
"Okay, I'll give you a few minutes, starting now." She said.
11:48 AM
Sarah said...
After a few minutes, she stopped us. "Okay, we're going to start with Christopher. Allison, will you read what you wrote about him?" She said looking at me.
"Christopher, it bothers me that you keep your life so private and secret from everyone." I said. "But, what I love is how caring you are. You always put everyone elses happiness before yours."
Christopher smiled. "Thanks." He said.
2:21 PM
Christina said...
"Tim." Millie said.
"Chris, I don't like how you always get away with everything. I really like your innocense, and how you can hide how smart you really are." Tim said. Christopher was on the other side of Tim, so we skipped him, and my mom went next.
"Christopher, it bothers me how you talk to me. I'm really proud of how independant you are, even though sometimes it doesn't seem like it." She said. My dad went next.
"Christopher, I hate how you are always sneak around. It's like you are always up to something. I do like how you are so able to take care of yourself." He said.
"Okay, very good. Next we'll do Allison. Tim we'll start with you." Millie said.
2:34 PM
Sarah said...
"I guess I don't like how much you avoid the family." He said. "When you're home, you're always in your bedroom. But, I love how smart you are and how dedicated you are at school and being succesful."
I smiled. We all looked at Christopher. "I don't like that everyone sees you as a perfect little princess, because they have no idea what you are doing all the time." He said. "But, like he said. No matter what you are doing, you're being smart about it, because it never affects your hard work and dedication."
3:59 PM
Christina said...
It was weird hearing negative things about me. I tried to think about the postive things, but I couldn't help but think about what they had both said.
"I don't like how you act like you are smarter then everyone else, or that you are so stubborn. But I do like that you are so smart." My mom said. When it was my dads turn he took a deep breath. I didn't really want to hear what he had to say.
4:07 PM
Sarah said...
"It's hard for me to come up with anything negative about my Ally." He said. He paused and looked like he was getting choked up. "The only thing that bothers me about you. . ." Everyone just stared at him. Tim looked down at the floor and sighed. "I guess the fact that you don't make an effot anymore with our relationship. We use to be so close, All." He said.
I nodded. "I know." I said.
"I know that you're very busy with school and trying very hard. You're a very smart girl." He said. "I think you're a great role model for your brother to look up to."
"I'll try to be around more." I said starting to cry.
