Dear Lucien,

We used to have registration together. You and Gavin Larkin used to sit at the back of the room and throw things at the back of my head. One day you threw peanuts, despite knowing that I’ve got a severe nut allergy. You told the teacher you’d opened the bag and I must have reacted to the smell of them. I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want the bullying to get worse.

So what did you feel when I was lying on the ground, struggling to breathe as I went into anaphylactic shock? You probably felt nothing. You know why I think that? Because when I came back to school after being off for the week you looked right at me and shook a bag of peanuts at me. Like it was a threat.

I’m glad Meg Mason punched you in the face. My only regret about the entire thing is that we couldn’t form an orderly queue and do exactly the same thing.

Yours Sincerely,

The Girl with the Nut Allergy
