So...an old friend told me.

She was 13 years old.

Even Kaylee is 14.

And Marchelle is 15.

They're so young and little!  Look how innocent and naive they are!  But She was 13 years old.

Is she younger than them? 

No, she'd be older.  A lot older, wouldn't she?  She'd be Cameron and Joey's age.  She's just a year behind me.  Isn't she?  I was 14, then.

She would be 18 years old. 

My!  How different she might be 5 years into the future! 

1 more year in middle school, and 4 years in high school! 

Sara was just telling me how She cared about what I thought about her.
"Sara, don't tell my brother--or my parents." 

Did She really say that, Sara?

"We can't be friends if you like my brother." 

Did She really say that, Sara?  


 That silly little girl.

...I do miss how silly she was.



Sometimes I wish I could walk downstairs and turn those black ashes...


into that silly little girl again...
