The Night in Memory
I have always been weird. I wasn't always conscious of it, I had moments of blending in, but then I would go to a sleepover and stare at the ceiling while my friends fell asleep in seconds. I was different. I couldn't spend the night at my friends, once I got a phone I would call my mom to come pick me up in the middle of the night and I never knew why. I still don't fully know why -- I didn't have an actual reason, I think it was just various anxiety.
