    The whole school knew about me and Ricky Burns. Or at least it felt like the whole school knew about me and Ricky Burns because I tripped nearly every time he came into view and stared at him wide-eyed all through lunch and squealed a little in my seat every time the teacher called his name.

I put on a ragged polo shirt which was I assure you classier than my usual holy T-shirt shuffled out of my dorm into the dining hall shoveled a shit-ton of oatmeal and raisins into my mouth to try to fortify my weak body from skipping dinner the night before, and resentfully made my way to class.
