Life isn't fair. A fair's a place where you eat corn dogs and ride the ferris wheel.

At Garvin High we were dealt a hard dose of reality this year. People hate. That's our reality. People hate and are hated and carry grudges and want punishments ... I don't know if it's possible to take hate away from people. Not even people like us, who've seen firsthand what hate can do. We're all hurting. We're all going to be hurting for a long time. And we, probably more than anyone else out there, will be searching for a new reality every day. A better one ... But in order to change reality you have to be willing to listen and to learn. And to hear. To actually hear.

But now the other half of us was gone and, lying there in my shadowy room, I'd be struck with this realization that I had no clue how to be just me again.
