"Keep your head up Princess, your tiara is falling."
"Did you really try to comfort me with that line?"
"Well. Is it working?"
"What do you think? No, it's not."

When Cassidy graduated high school she never thought anyone would...

Should we have a pleasant conversation to start off the day or just get right into the last time we ever talk about the rumors.
Well, I would actually like to at least have a decent conversation for a change. We really haven't had one in a few weeks.
It's not completely my fault. You had a part in it too.
I know Cassidy. And I am not blaming you for it.
Oh, well it seemed like it.
I'm sorry then. But can we just have a decent conversation for five minutes?
If you insist your royal highness.
You know what? What is the problem? Why we go five minutes without fighting.
We have gone a few weeks without fighting. How could you not notice that?
Anyways I am already on edge because of what we have planned to talk about today, and you are not helping me at all.
Why are you edge?
Because these are my secrets. Some of my biggest secrets.
And it doesn't seem like you realize that.
To be honest -- I haven't and I feel so bad about that.
Why? How haven't you realized that? You know how I reacted when we first talked about them.
I know. I feel stupid about it and how I keep pushing the topic and making you spill your secrets. Especially since I have not, nor continue to do it, done anything in return.
That is true. I barely know any of your secrets and you know like all of mine.
I guess I should start telling you them, huh.
Yeah. But save them for another day. I am getting tired of these stupid rumors and how I keep letting them affect me. I actually don't want to talk about them in detail so I am just going to list them. Is that okay with you?
Fair enough.
There is a rumor about me getting super drunk on multiple occasions at various parties. That rumor is true, except I have excuses, and that's what they are, they are not exception or anything that makes it okay.
Oh.
There is also one about me dancing, practically strip dancing, on a table while wasted. Also true and I had the same excuses I used to try and make it okay.
Oh.
There is a smoking rumor, of course it takes place at a party. According the rumor I smoked a joint. But it was only a cigarette. That's it.
Plus the other how many more party involved rumors. All for the same excuses. Basically all of the rumors involve partying because I tried to get drunk and attempt to escape a bunch of things.
Oh. Can I ask what the excuses were?
I still use them. So, yeah.
Well what are they? That is if you don't mind me asking.
I was going through a tough and dark time. My parents were going through a pretty messy divorce amongst other things and it was badly affecting me and my brother pretty badly and I chose to make stupid decisions all through high school. And it could be argued that I still do.
