You were new to St. Benedict's Catholic School, it was one of the only one’s available to you and your parents so you went reluctantly. You were enamored with the arts and culture of Catholicism, but also weren’t interested of becoming involved with the religion. You saw Bonnie and Rochelle once or twice staring at you, they were known as outcasts. Their ‘leader’ Nancy would always talk to them about…whatever they did talk about (Coventry) one day, you went to a stall to get a smoke. You were in a bathroom stall, it had cartoon penises drawn on the wall that the janitors would have to clean eventually. smoking a cigarette…

you heard black Mary Janes clicking across the floor. And squatted on top of the toilet lid, hiding yourself. Bonnie stomped near the stall playfully, Nancy kicked it open, you rush to the back wall and flinch Nancy laughs that obnoxious laugh that sounds more like a screech “Hey cuupcake!!” she says teasingly “smoking a cigarette? You know, you could get in trouble for that…this is a good catholic school.” she says with Faux concern.
