When I was 15

When I was 15, seems like awhile ago. I was skinnier, perkier, more innocent. The year was 1997.
I remember starting highschool. The constant shuffle of students and teachers. I attended Catalina High Magnet School, where I met a friend who I am still close to today. She introduced me to another friend. So I started hanging out with her and her sister and her sister's friend.
They introduced me to Spice Girls and Hanson. (yes, Hanson, I am embaressed to say I loved Hanson). We practiced singing and acting and talking like the Spice Girls. I was Scary Spice. Kassidy and I would walk around the track singing " I'm a Barbie Girl!"
I did some bad things too, I stole until I got caught. It was the year before I got diagnosed with Bi Polar and met my first love. It was one of the funnest times in my life.
