You still go to school, I told myself, and rolled out, into that charade, and halfway through brushing my teeth, instead of checking my tongue like I always did, for if it was flattening out, if it was getting that blurry black stripe down the middle, this time I rubbed my jaw in the mirror. I was just like the sheep, walking through the steps of a life where I was just pretending. I wasn’t a sheep, though. I bared my teeth to prove it.
