Blog Bash Post #2--Epilogue

While I graduated only last year, high school seems like it was forever ago. What seems to be at least 10 years ago was freshman year.
Freshman year was probably one of the best. Good classes, good friends, fun, new, etc.

We used to have a 6 minute break in between two of the periods and during that time, my best friend and I would go upstairs and talk to two of our favorite teachers. It would be six minutes of fun and interesting conversation generally. One day, one of the teachers recommended a book to my best friend: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Best Friend was in love with the words and the story and  gave it to me to read. Well, its power overtook me as well and I fell in love too (book is obviously a player...).

Let me preface some things before I continue: My best friend and I were not in the correct English class. We were supposed to be in honors but it didnt fit with our schedules. While people were reading "Goosebumps" in the corner, I had just finished "Catch-22" among others.
Ok, I digress.
We decided that while other people read during silent reading time on Fridays, we were going to write (rebels!) We came up with the idea to write an epilogue to Perks and spent a few weeks doing so. Writing it was serious business--it needed to sound the same, feel the same and expand on the right things.

Writing the epilogue and having it to read was probably one of the best things we did freshman year. I must say, it was perfect. Sounded exactly like the original and ended in a perfect spot. Some laughs came along with our seriousness as well--including but not limited to Bohemian Rap City, Charlies favorite song because I didn't understand what my friend was saying when he told me to write Bohemian Rhapsody.

I still have the epilogue somewhere and cant wait until 10 years have actually gone by and my best friend and I can read it together.
