In Circles

So the meds didn't work - surprise, surprise right?

And, now as a 15-year old high school sophomore, I began the challenge of hiding my symptoms yet again. I was lying to everyone. My parents, my friends, and even my boyfriend.

I quit the basketball team.

But then on Christmas morning, as my brother, sister, and I played Mario on the new Nintendo 64 that my parents had gotten us as a gift, my secret was spilled again. I bled through my pants.

Yup. That's right. Kneeling there in front of the T.V., watching my brother master controlling a 3D Mario that could walk in circles and not just forward and backward....

"What's that on your pants?"

Oh Crap. Here we go again. In Circles.
