sometime in summer 2000

The seniors graduate and I am a junior. I'm all psyched out about it because now I'm the senior. I see Julie Janke and her and she tells me about this party later. I go home to my own apt. and wait but no one calls me as I decide to go downtown and see who's out there. I go to this one bar and when I walk in I see Betsy, Jason, Judd and some others. It's very crowded and noisy. Jason comes up to me and asks for some money for some more drinks. I give him some despite the fact that he's already very drunk. I go into the bar further and then go upstairs where Bill is. I sit with him and we have a few drinks, then we decide to leave. I'm driving and as we leave downtown we go down this road with houses on the side, a park on the other side and kids playing around. I'm very careful to watch for the kids and they are all laughing and waving to me. We're all smiling. Then as I turn we notice this other car full of young drunk people and they plow right through all the kids and then squeal off. Bill and I are shocked by their behavior but even more astounded by the fact that no one is doing anything. Now it's later at night and I'm over at Bec and Lori's. Bebi, her mom, Atim and company are there. Bebi's mom is also bedridden, and they are there giving Bec and Lori her bicycle. It's night out, Bec and I are on the front porch with the bike on the lawn. Then this guy comes up with a little eye mask on and takes the bike right in front of us. Bec and I just sit there and stare at him; we can't believe he took it right in front of us. Lori comes out and starts to yell at us to get the bike back. We go over to the guy's house, he's the neighbor across the street. Bec's at the front door and I go around the side and look in the window. There's a couple of people watching TV inside. I go stand next to Bec and she knocks. The neighbor answers, tells us to leave and then tells us the he likes to rape little girls for fun. Bec and I are both intimidated and leave, we go back over to her house and go inside. The light is a red candlelight. I want to leave but am afraid of the neighbor, so Bec and Lori let me stay the night. I'm laying on the floor and I fall asleep.
