Part IV

Your hatred toward me grows stronger everyday or so it seems. You back away, like I have a disease, towards a person you hate more than me. Guess what, we only have to bear with each other for 227 days more of school! Then we can be out of each other’s lives forever! How about that? Sound good? With my luck and your skills we won’t ever have to talk to each other again. Your dreams and desires. We will graduate and go off to separate schools, you’ll get your guy, your job, the money, your life, and I…I will become dirt, like you already say I am. Well guess what, I have found my place to belong and fit in! You can’t take that away from me. Ever! I laugh in the face of your plan to knock me down again every single day. With this support I am able to stand up to you and your mocking with dignity and throw it off to the side. I am free! I will always be able to hold on and be strong!
