As
I
walked
into
the
room
,
every
head
turned
,
and
everyone
lapsed
into
silence
.
Do
you
know
how
scary
that
is
?
Not
like
5
or
10
people
.
like
30
or
40
people
all
stopped
to
look
at
me
with
looks
that
burned
with
reproach.
But
nobody
said
anything
.
they
all
tore
their
eyes
away
from
the
boy
who
made
a
stupid
mistake
when
he
was
drunk
,
and
pretended
like
it
wasn't
the
most
obvious
thing
in
the
world
.
And
people
have
the
nerve
to
ask
why
I
left
so
quickly
.
I
gave
the
host
his
present
,
ate
a
bit
of
cake
,
and
left
.
It
was
too
uncomfortable
.
SO
I
won't
make
that
mistake
again
.
No
matter
how
drunk
I
am
,
I'll
never
do
it
.
I
don't
know
what
was
bad
about
it
..
I
wasn't
betraying
anything
I
wasn't
doing
anything
they
wouldn't
have
.
I
guess
it
was
just
them
recognising
the
fact
that
I'd
stooped
to
their
level
.

...
Aimee
but
in
some
situations
...
it's
okay
.
And
in
some
it's
DAMN
hard
not
to
.

blather
