I sit in my room with my tears streaming and my heart pounding. I had been crying since I got home. I'm too scared and ashamed to go back to school. I have so much ahead of me but I probably ruined everything for myself now. I just want to disappear. I want everyone to forget about me, about what I've done, about everything that has to do with me. I can't bear to look at my phone. Who knows what people are saying? How could I have done something so dumb like this?

"My mama taught me better than to do foolishness like that" I would always say.

"Why do people not have the common sense to think?" I would always ask as I laughed at others. But now I'm not laughing I'm the one who is crying. I'm the one who has to pay the price. I'm the one who has to take the responsibility of what I've done. No one is going to be my friend now. I'm not gonna have anyone to talk to.

Oh, and my mother is going to be so mad, so frustrated. She'll never trust me again. She will never look at me the same way, no one will. My brother always threatened me about this, now look at me. He always said,

"Don't be that person" Look now, I am that person. He'll never claim me again. My family will be embarrassed of me.

When I go to school tomorrow all the questions are gonna come. People are gonna keep asking, laughing, talking. I'm going to have nothing better to do than listen. I have no right to get angry over something I knew the consequences of.

I regret doing such a stupid thing...
