You mentioned that you've cut before so offhandedly, it almost made me want to tell you that I do. Almost, but I didn't. I knew what would happen, you'd tell the teacher, I'd get called down to the guidance office, my parents would be called in. Then you put your leg on the desk and showed us the scars on your ankle that were seen when you were twelve, those cuts were the reason you were sent to the hospital. You told us the entire story. Did you see the color drain from my face? I felt it. I saw you glance at my arm. I gripped it. The night you told us, I went home and cut my ankle. To be honest, it's a lot better than cutting my shoulders, my waist, my hips, my stomach, my thighs. It feels the same as cutting my arms, but it's easier to hide. It isn't like I wear anything besides jeans anyway, and when winter comes, they'll be even easier to hide. I know that you would freak out if you knew you gave me the idea of cutting on my ankles, but it isn't like we're close. We're in-class friends, which is even less than in-school friends. For all you know I've only ever cut my legs. I'm only nervous for Homecoming. I've already gotten my dress, and scars that are two or three years old are still red on me. If the cuts heal completely, how am I going to hide the scars at Homecoming? =(
