Her name is Reagan.
Long story short, she's depressed. And why wouldn't she
be, considering all she's been through the past decade
or so?
First there's her home life. Her
parents are constantly fighting, whether it's about money, or
who "purposely hid" the mustard in the back of the
refrigerator. For some reason, Reagan blames herself for her
parents continuous arguing, even when they tell her it has
absolutely nothing to do with her. Sure, she wants to believe
them, but considering they almost always bicker about her and her
problems, it's hard.
Then there's the fact that she's
a loner. Reagan spends most of her time in school in the library
or computer lab, going on her favorite websites, and forgetting
that she has a care in the world. She has no friends in school,
only people who feel sorry for her, and even they usually
don't acknowledge her. It's not that she's a bad
person ;; it's just that with her past and everything,
she's terrified to open up to people, even just say hi. She
walks around school with her head down, not daring to make eye
contact with anyone; for fear that they will judge her before
they get to know her. But most of the time they do, which makes
for a whole new issue.
What past is this referring to? The
middle school years. From the moment Reagan stepped foot in the
door of her middle school, life took a turn for the worst. Kids
would continuously make fun of her, about her hair, her eyebrows,
her clothes, even her personality, which wasn't bad at all,
but caused Reagan to hate herself. Terrible rumors were spread
about her, possibly the worst being that she'd done sexual
things with her mother. They'd even gone so far as to not
touch things Reagan had touched previously. To make matters
worse, since the two elementary schools were coming together, her
elementary school had somehow managed to make the other school
rebel against her as well. Reagan had no idea why people were
treating her this way, and she was convinced it would never end.
Things got so bad, that after eighth grade, her family moved to a
whole new town, but this town is only minutes away from where she
used to be. Because of this, Reagan sometimes runs into people
from her old town, who act as if nothing had ever happened. This
is something that Reagan will never understand or forget.
Perhaps the most impacting incident
Reagan experienced was the loss of her grandmother. After 92
years in and out of hospitals, with broken bones or heart
problems, Reagan's grandmother finally passed. This was,
without a doubt, harder than anything she'd gone through,
even worse than middle school. However, the worst was yet to
come: Reagan was not allowed to attend the funeral. Her father
has issues with his brothers, and refused to be there because his
brothers would. Although Reagan and her mother could have easily
gone themselves, Reagan's mother stupidly listened to her
husband and stayed home. This crushed Reagan into a million
pieces, and still affects her to this day. She is convinced that
her grandmother will never forgive her.
Her name is Reagan.
