Barb, I would have loved to have seen the fight in the cafeteria. It’s so hard for me to picture you fighting. Loving your story. Takes me back to my youth. ❤️

OMG! Where did you get this picture? I remember everyone at the table. Still friends with one of them!

Haha! I was hoping you’d catch this episode given you’re front and center! These cafeteria pictures are from a page entitled “our favorite period” in the Loch Raven yearbook.

When you write, I am transported into the story...felt like I was in that cafeteria with you. You awaken crazy middle school emotions, girl!
