When I was little and I was in my first play, I saw some of the main characters getting flowers, I wanted that to be me. On that stage. After a big performance. That I had worked for. Hold flowers. That someone else gave me. Not because I asked. But because I had been wonderful. I've been sensitive about it since. Last year, when I was in The Velveteen Rabbit, I was the Skin Horse. It was the biggest part I had ever recieved. I was hopeful. A chunk of my family came to the performance on Mother's Day. A few "good job"s and a couple of "that was nice"s, no flowers. Kailey has told me, how in her first play she was in, her parents gave her flowers, because it was her first play. I was three when I was in my first play. I can harldy remember anything. Kailey got flowers today. She got flowers when she was Fern in Charlotte's Web. The entire school went to see her. That was before Mariah, the wannabe, showed up. Maybe I'm just sour because everything comes so easily to Kailey. During this past week, I've been introduced to her glossy out-of-school life. She lives in a house that was built just last year. It has 3 stories and a super high-tech security system. My house is one story, was built in the 1980s, and has no security system. When she's hungry, there's always food in the house. They have a refrigerator in their garage just so that they can grab drinks on their way in and out of the house. They buy BOTTLED WATER. That is wealthy. Her brother probably has every gaming system known to man. Her oldest sister is always either out doing something, or she has friends over. Her youngest sister, has no clue how to be polite. At all. On the way back she tried to say that I looked ugly with out actually saying that I looked ugly, so she said I looked weird. If I was in a family that was that well off, I would try to do something important instead of just live like everyone has equal opportunity. Anyway, I should stop talking about my best friend. The one who's never sat be at lunch. The one that always has something more important to be doing. That best friend.
