Did you buy it for a special occasion?”“No,” I reply. “I’ve had it for awhile.”S...he nods and walks to the door. “Your partner will be here in about half an hour. I’m sure you want to look your best, so I’ll let you get cleaned up and changed.”I shower and finger comb my hair, then let out a short gallows laugh when I realize how much I resemble the woman in the glass casket. There are dark circles under my eyes that no amount of concealer will. I chose English 3, Biology 3 and Algebra.

I'd come to expect being alone at lunch or without friends for a few days. There are cliques in every.

I got out of step with my usual routine and then feeling guilty for not going i decided to go on a Tuesday to catch upI wear tights and a body stocking top to allow for maximum range of movement and by the ebnd of a class I am usually wet with perspirationIn the Tuesday class at 0630 am there were different people who i had never seen there before. I noted a young male at the back of the class as i lay on my mat.As the walls are covered in mirrors to assist us with our posture i couldnt help.
