"Where do you see yourself a month from now?"

I was sitting in Dr. Lopez's office. Everything had been going well

in my life. I didn't have any negativity in school or in the house. T-Boy

was extra nice to me and Lamont was making me feel really appreciated.

Sampson and I weren't exactly 'friends', but we managed to stay very civil

to one another. We said 'hello' and 'goodbye' to one another. When I had

extra time, I asked him how Ms. Nicole was doing and how his new

girlfriend, Magdalene was doing.

I was busy playing the piano and it took me a while to answer Dr.

Lopez's question.

"I don't know I guess I see myself applying for some colleges or

thinking about my other life options."

"Are you going to apply in-state?"

"I don't know. I think I want to go somewhere really far. I want to

go to a place where the people aren't so sinful like Brunswick. Brunswick

is like the present day Sodom & Gomorra."

Dr. Lopez laughed. I wondered if she agreed or not. She didn't

some kind of patriotism or pride for where they were located. Brunswick

wasn't like that. Everyone hated Brunswick.

She added, "Well I don't know about that, but they say that a storm

"Yep. It's probably God here to wash away all the sins out of this

place. Everyone that I know has serious transgressions besides Shane and

he's dead."

"Well no one's perfect. Maybe Shane even had his own little Pandora's

Box."

I rolled my eyes. That was a rude ass thing to say about a dead

person.

"Trust me. He was a better person then you are. I admit; he was even

a better person that I am capable of being. Shane was just the perfect

guy."

"Ok, ok. So what do you think keeps you from being the kind of person

Shane was?"

She changed the subject quickly. She probably realized that I was

getting offensive if someone mentioned Shane in a negative tone. Shane was

exactly what I thought he was. He was the ideal guy. He was what God

wanted him to be. The rest of Brunswick consisted of fakes. Even the

pastors just prayed so that they could rip off people with their collection

plates. In Brunswick churches, an offering was mandatory.

"I am too opinionated to be a good person. I also got a short temper.

I can come off as over-confident sometimes. The biggest thing though is
