Others think of time as something that's happened or an event that's in the past air future,but I think of time as the past is before,and the presets The After,A living hell.In The Before I was happy.I had very little friends because of trust issues,I had sleepovers to.I wanted to learn how to drive,just to get a start on my learners permit.The worst part of my life was biology homework and not being allowed to date..I assumed my parents were just totally clueless,and my dad with all his healthy concerns,as for my mom who was never at home except Sunday..night for family dinner.I was a lot kinder to my mother I only did call her a workaholic.Her job was actually being involved with the government,so her work was very"hush hush".I considered myself smart,and I was most definitely a smart-ass to both of parents.I liked the feeling of seeing them squirm because I wanted them to know I didn't take their"because I said so"bullshit.My grades were excellent in school although that doesn't matter now that there isn't any school to go to,no Harry Potter books,movies,no more friends..
