I said Carly and had he ever played mafia before? He said no and I told him I would kick his ass. He was in my group, and I was voted goddess. I was yelling a lot, like we used to do, and I got in trouble. The mafia won that game. Then I picked Travis to be god, cuz "he was cute." I got killed early on, after tricking everyone with the old "I'm the detective, and I investigated ___ and they're mafia." It worked, but then I died. That's when I suggested "The witching hour" when the dead people fool with the living, "sleeping" people. I put kiki's sandal on Travis's head and he smiled. I noticed his pretty eyes. Then I went and hid Paula's black platform flip flops.

116. I remember TISH, and get over yourself and find some fucking friends. And our pineapple juice.
117. I remember the last day. I was in KW and my friends came to say good-bye to me. It was the best way to leave. Travis slipped me a note and I gave him mine. I gave everyone hugs, but when I came to Alex, I just had to cry. Nobody else was crying, not even Anna. We went outside to wait for Jesse; me and Travis alone for a while. I gave him a kiss and told him I loved him and cried even more. I was a crybaby. Everyone was talking when I pulled away except him. He was looking sad, but not crying. Nobody cried except me.

We didn't really like country but it was the only station we got strongly. That's when we first heard "flowers on the wall." And they said "Hi to Lesley from Baltimore and Carly from Virginia who're up at Dickenson College taking a writing class..." Laura heard it and came in to check on us, making sure we didn't give out too much info.
127. I remember singing American Pie with Alex and taking a huge breath before "die die die die live live live live sex sex sex sex more more more more" so we could scream really loud.
