Liliana

They didn't help me with my homework.

They didn't ask me what it was that I was struggling with.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

Just a beating and that's it.

I'm literally getting bruised over a C+.

And also, they were just kind of weird about my school in general.

So in Indiana, I don't know if you've ever been there, but it's like, oh my gosh, there's nothing over there.

It's just long, straight roads and corn.

You have to drive half an hour just to get to a Walmart.

I always call it bumfuck Indiana.

There's nothing there.

So the school bus ride was typically about an hour long.

So I would get my homework.

I'm an efficient girl.

In the mornings, I would brush my hair and brush my teeth at the same time.

I'm autistic, so I'm all about let's be efficient, you know?

So I was like, well, obviously, I'm going to do my homework on the bus.

And my parents, like,

for some reason really didn't like that.

So they started checking my homework to see like, you know, the bus, like when it hits a bump and it kind of makes you shake, they would like check my handwriting for that.
