Revisting that place

Today I flew over to Bloomfield Hills in Michigan.

I was a student at a very prestigious school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. I'm not going to say which school it was, only that it was a famous school with a set of very famous Alumni that included former Presidents and Oscar winners.

The school was impressive and cost my parents the whopping total of $25,000 a year. The school had wonderful campus in a historic building, I loved the campus, mostly because of the library.

However, after about six months I started to hate it, all the other students hated me and most of my friends were to aloof to give a damn about me.

After a long time of bullying I became anorexic and would often fall asleep during class because of lack of energy. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't set out to become anorexic, it just happened with all the stress. The teachers knew something was wrong because I was a shadow of all the other herculean boys, and I was as light bas air compared to all the fat boys.

My teachers knew something was wrong because I was so skinny, but they were all deeply Christian and didn't believe that males could become anorexic. I was eating allot of food at lunchtimes, so the teachers thought that I didn't have an eating disorder. But with all the stress, worry, and fear, all the calories were burnt off.

I went back to the school, I graduated four years early because I was always being bumped up grades.

I saw students who I once knew, many of them are in their final years and most of them have become spoilt brats.

I went back and I don't know why, but I wasn't afraid. Maybe it's because I left long ago and grew up, maybe because I know that High school is a different world, I don't know.

But I know one thing

I will never tremble in those halls ever again, I will never fear that place ore it's students ever again, never.
