This is a story about names. Not the ones you're given at birth, but the labels you earn in the hallways of Sanctuary of the Hills Academy. High school wasn't about finding yourself. It was about surviving the disasters you accidentally created. It was about shifting responsibilities, the pressure of doing too much, and the realization that some mistakes leave a residue you can never quite peel off. It can also be about oranges. In 2006, I spent my freshman year trying to stay out of the light, only to find myself caught in the orbit of Pauline Abad-the girl who didn't just witness my failures, but gave them a title. Once a name sticks, it becomes the story everyone tells about you, until you start to believe it yourself. I know this because it happened to me. This is how I became Mr. Bad Timing. Author: H.R.
