One Scene- Ethan Smart

When I think back to the saying now, it was for the better but back then I wasn’t trying to hear those words. I wanted everything handed to me. I was lazy, and didn’t like doing much. I was 14, and school wasn’t my strong suit at all. High School For Medical Professions sounds like a great school huh? Ha! That’s where I f*cked up at. That was just a bullshit name that reeled me in. A typical day of high school was either jail or rehab. Hallways, bathrooms, locker rooms, stairwells and or anywhere you would think to get peace and quiet, trust me you wouldn’t. It was loud and depressing with the meanest smell of weed at every corner. 

“Why the hell would I enjoy school when my environment is so shitty? Man, I don’t know.” 

Senior year I wasn’t waking up on time and no I did not care. I would reach that inadequate establishment at ten in the morning late, secondhand-high one minute past ten. The place was a joke in my opinion. I would  mostly do the two classes  I needed credit for then leave around 12:30. When February came I fixed myself and started just attending some more just so i didn’t fail.

    Senior year I wasn’t waking up on time and no I did not care. [Here is my typical day]. I would reach that inadequate establishment at ten in the morning late, secondhand-high one minute past ten [huh? Unclear]. The place was a joke in my opinion. [At the most,] I stayed at school for my first two classes [WHICH classes? Did you talk or socialize with any friends?] and [cut: I would mostly do the two classes I needed credit for –cut] then leave around 12:30. CSD — did you leave for lunch and never come back? Can you make this more of a scene? Slipping out a certain un-supervised exit? Dramatize more with more CSD!  I headed home [– Did you go home? What did you do for the rest of the day?]. and spend my day smoking weed and WHAT else? Was there no one at home to see that you were skipping school? GIVE more CSD for this scene at home smoking weed or listening to music or WHATEVER…

     

    When February came I fixed myself and started just attending some more just so i didn’t fail.  OK – you will give more details here.
