Thanks for the Pain.
You know some people are excited for their first day of High School. It’s a “New start”, a chance to grow up, maybe make some new friends, and leave all the other BS behind. That’s what I thought, until “she” came around. “She” ruined everything for me last year, and I’m not exaggerating when I mean EVERYTHING!

“Hey honey. What’s up?”

“Just go to the office and talk to Oatly everything will be fine”
I could tell just by the way she talked, that she was worried. She was scared for me. I knew she was. I went to Oatly’s, talked to him, and then left. I had to go
