Melissa was blond. She was a happy blond, not a dumb one, and she was compassionate. She didn't buy into all that, 'I didn't do it, let me outta here.' Not that I feed her that. She was taller than me, but only by a little bit. She wasn't stick skinny, but she wasn't fat either. To most people, she was the perfect woman. To most people. But to me, she was just the lady that told me whether I was crazy or not.

"You wanna know where it started?" I asked, smiling slightly, and leaning back in my chair. "It started on a clear day in May. No, scratch that, it started on a cloudy day in April. I was in seventh grade, and the track team seemed like a good idea. You know, get away from the family till five o'clock. Spend time with my friends. At the time, I was totally hung up on this guy. Trevor. I had known him for four or five years, and I had him." I told her, watching as she wrote down on the clipboard. I waited for her to stop scribbling, then continued. "So I joined the track team."

It was raining when I got to school that day. The first thing I did was go out to the blacktop, and talk to all the people I had known all the years before, and the ones that I had just gotten to know. They were in a circle, gossiping and talking rapidly, yelling and such. And the thing was, we were all smart. It seems like, as time goes on, the smarter you are, the more popular you are. Maybe that was why, I was always excepted into that group. I belonged in that group.

Even through the rain, we still stood around talking. It was tradition, what else would we do. Tanner pulled me over to the side, and whispered in my ear, before I even knew it, "Trevor totally likes you." Now Tanner was one of those boys. One that always went out with pretty girls, and on dates. He was a guy who was quite, and loyal, and he was the one who was never really accepted into the group. Of course, I had lots of other groups I hung out with, but this main one, this was my home. Tanner... Tanner didn't care about all that stuff. He didn't care what kind of person you were on the outside, just that you were you on the inside. And he was one of my best friends. I didn't know it then, but Tanner loved me. Really love, not that 'I date ten girls and I love them all' stuff.

"You too loved each other?" Melissa interrupted, and I had to stop to take a second and think.
"For a time. He loved me, and I loved him. The love was... one sided, after a while, mainly because I'm in here, and what does a guy like that want to do with me. But I suppose that doesn't matter, when you love people. Love wasn't defined that way. It isn't defined that way." I told her. She wrote more things, but didn't say anything.
So Tanner told me that. And I stood there, staring, waiting for myself to wake up, or someone to kick me, or a teacher to call my name and tell me that I'm not paying attention again. But it didn't happen. I stood there, getting wet, and I just couldn't think of anything to say. The bell rang, and I walked to class, numb. Trevor sat right in front of me. I had known for a while, that Trevor had a thing for me. The truth was, I thought it was just a thing. A fling. At one time I hoped that maybe, just maybe, I could lean forward and lick his ear. But that was all I had ever thought. I had never expected that he would ever have anything more than a thing. It was a weird idea for me to process. But that didn't matter right now, because math was starting, and math was the most boring class ever. I can still remember what we were doing that day, something about fractional equations.

"Why do you think you remember that?" Melissa asked me, and I thought about it. I didn't really have an answer, I just remember.
"I'm not really sure. I just kinda do." I said.
Next class was PE, which I also had with Trevor and Tanner. Tanner being my best friend, followed me right up to the girls locker room door, talking about his new puppy. A Border Collie. And then I disappeared into the girls locker room. You hear things in there, rumors and stuff. I heard something that day, which turned my stomach, and made me hate some people. They were saying stupid things, that Tanner was gay, that he went though all those girl cause he doesn't like them.

"This made you sick? Why?"
"I... I'm not sure. I guess I had a thing for Tanner, deep down inside. He was like my brother at the time, and it made me mad that they would say something about him."
"Do you have a problem with gay people?"
I answered quickly. "What? No. I just... Tanner has done somethings most people wouldn't be proud of."

So, then we went to History. I sat next to Trevor on one side, and Lisa (pronounced TRUCK, sorry inside joke.) on the other. Tanner was right behind me. History was rather boring, and Trevor didn't talk or try anything. We went to Science, and then Lunch, and then we all slip up to go to our electives. Tanner and I walked as far as we could, and then he went to computer class, and I went to art. After that, most of us met up again at English. I was standing in front of the class, talking to them all, and right up there, since the teacher was in the bathroom, I accidentally moved my hand up, and touched Trevor's junk. It was an accident. That class was extremely awkward.

Track was something new, and being out in the rain made us go crazy. We were running around, and we were doing actual work. Ant then, Trevor walked up to me. He just walked up to me, and asked me if I'd be his girlfriend. See, in the seventh grade, you don't 'go out.' You 'go out' when you have money, a job, a car, and something interesting to talk about. Or at least, that's what my English teacher told us one day. So I said I'd think about it. Playing hard to get.
"Why?"
"It's an Enya thing."
"Okay then... I think that's it for today." Melissa gathered her stuff, and then told me that she'd see me on Monday. She left, and the guards put the hand cuffs back on. Sigh.
