It was weird, I couldn't move my body at all.  My muscles were cold and my joints were weak.  I could make out the faint voice of someone familiar but I couldn't make out who it was.  "Jay K. was a "small town girl living in a lonley world" as Journey would say.  She was too young, only a freshman. Jay was known as a looser, shy, an idioit, weak, ugly, a slut and all the other horrid things that all of you teenagers could come up with.  She wanted to do great things with her life, she might still be able to.    I don't know how many of you knew her, probably none of you considering not one of you was nice to her and/or stood up for her ever.  She was new this year yes, but it's April and all she has no friends because you all are not accepting.  She was the girl who sat in the back corner of the classroom and never raised her hand, I really wish this damn school was nicer to her when we all had the chance.  What did she ever do to any of you to make her do this?" This random person questioned an audience I could not figure out.  "She was new and I understand that.  New people always get hate in a small town like this one because being new in a town like this is an abnormality.  Did you know she was forced to move to this town and didn't have any say in the matter, unlike all of you who have lived here since you were born.  I wish I could have been there for her when I had the chance but you know what I can't do that now because of all of you."  The man started to cry, I could hear the sobs in his voice.  He cleared his voice.  I knew that sound...  He was my principal and he was talking about me!  "I'm Jay," I thought finally coming back to my senses.  Thats when I gained my conciousness back and woke up.
