I hated that place, said one.
It's all a big fog of chaos, said another.
A dark cloud over the class.
You never knew who you could trust.
We were awful, awful little girls.
The more Julia heard about it, it started to sound like a Stephen King novel and not one of those cutesy ones about clowns or talking cars.
In almost every conversation, one name kept coming up as the person who had it the worst.
Even Julia acknowledged it.
The name was Sarah Taba.
Sarah had the misfortune of being the only 8th grader who was slightly overweight, and as such, she was always kept at a distance.
In high school, I was also someone who existed on the margins, so I understand how oftentimes kids like me, kids like Sarah Taba, become the eyes and ears of the school, fidgety, uncomfortable witnesses, forced to watch from the wings.
I'm reminded of this all the time with the friends I went to high school with who were more popular than me.
Remember the time Robert Siolik wore a three-piece suit to school, I ask?
The time Madame Robert slammed the classroom door so hard the clock fell off the wall?
The day Sharon Wiener got suspended for leaving the schoolyard during recess?
Of course they don't.
They were living their lives.
But I was on the sidelines, taking it all in, remembering.
Having all these conversations made Julia think about Sarah and what she might remember.
But when she asked her if she had any recollection about the day those girls showed up at her door, Sarah couldn't remember anything.
