'September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary: I believe I'm a good person. Ya know, I think there's good in everyone, but here we are first day of senior year. I look around at all these kids I've known all my life and I ask myself: What happened?'

"Freak!"
"Sl*t!"
"Burnout!"
"Bug-Eyes!"
"Poser!"
"Lard ass!" The students yelled across the hallway. 'We were so tiny, happy and shiny, playing tag and getting chased.–'
"Freak! "
"Sl*t!"
"Loser!"
"Short bus!" the students, once again, yelled at each other. '–Singing and clapping, laughing and napping, baking cookies, eating paste.' I thought. "Bull-dyke!"
"Stuck-up!"
"Hunchback!" the students' insults continued.

'Then we got bigger. That was the trigger, like the Huns invading Rome -' I bumped into a student, "Sorry!" I said.
'Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school; this is the Thunderdome. Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon.' "White trash!" The insults kept going.

'College will be paradise If I'm not dead by June! But I know, I know, life can be beautiful. I pray, I pray for a better way. If we changed back then, we could change again! We can be beautiful...'. "Ow!" A preppy stud then knocks a hipster to the floor. 'Just not today.' I thought, "Hey, are you okay?" I asked, quite concerned. "Get away, nerd!" "Oh... sorry."
"Freak!"
"Sl*t!"
"Cripple!"
"Homo!"
"Homo!"
"Homo!" the insults had started up once again.

'Things will get better soon as my letter comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown. Wake from this coma, take my diploma, then I can blow this town. Dream of my ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafes...' I accidentally jostle Ojiro Mashida "Watch it!" he sneered.

'Fight the urge to strike a match
and send this dump ablaze!' I thought kinda psychotic like. Ojiro upends my lunch tray. "Ooooops." Ojiro said sarcastically. "Ojiro Mashida. Third year as linebacker. And eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick." I wrote in my journal, not realizing that I said it out loud.
"What did you say to me, skank?"
"Aagh! Nothing." I reply swiftly.
'But I know, I know, I know... life can be beautiful.I pray, I pray, I pray for a better way. We were kind before; we can be kind once more. We can be beautiful...'

I get surprised when a hand clasped my shoulder, "Ah! Hey Toru!" I greeted "Hey!" she grinned. 'Toru Hagakure, my best friend since diapers!' I monologued. "Are we on for movie night?"
"Yeah! You're on jiffy pop detail."
"I rented The Princess Bride!"
"Ohoho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?"
"What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending." She sighs dreamily.
"Toru Hagakure! Wide load! HAHA!" Sero laughed.

'Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team.
Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf.' I monologued. "Hey! Pick that up right now!"

"I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?" He asked offended. "Yes, I am. I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend. You're a high school has-been waiting to happen. A future gas station attendant." I reply, quite furiosly too.

"... You have a zit right there..." He said.

'Dear diary: why....'
"Why do they hate me?"
"Why don't I fight back?"
"Why do I act like such a creep?" A group of outcasts questioned.
