South Lewis

So I realized this morning that I have no pictures of the school and people I spent most of my life with. My house burned down when I was in 10th grade, taking all that with it. I have nothing left of South Lewis except fuzzy memories. I remember there were 2 Sara Kragers and I think 2 Amanda Browns? I remember my 3 muskateers: BJ, John, and Mark. John was the first guy to see me naked and probably my first boyfriend. BJ was the first boyfriend I remember though. I remember that damn musical where there were 5 cast members and 30 chorus, which was where I was. I remember staying after just to roam the halls. Then there was that day outside the front of the school where Toma tried to be taller than I was and Reannon thought we were going to kiss. I remember the bars on the playground in elementary where I would freak out the guys. That's also where Megan broke her wrist and that creepy retarded kid chased me around. In middle school we had a March Madness reading contest that I spent every waking moment contributing to. Ah, my favorite pick up line from some guy I'd been in class with for 3 years: Hey, I haven't talked to you yet. Which brings up studyhall with Chris and Jared... I kept that folder with the pony porn picture on it. I wonder if Port Leyden still has those orange feet leading around the building. I have no idea where they had been going.

South Lewis is the school I have the most connection to. I think I can still name every one of my classmates. I only went to Watertown to get out of my dad's house. I feel bad I haven't kept in touch with people who are this significant in my life but I worry that they won't remember me. That might be my greatest fear in life, to leave no mark on the people I meet.
