   The Beginning  
   My name is Jingle Ederson, most people call me Princess Sparklefuck. That has been my nick name since 8th grade. Although I don’t sparkle and I'm nowhere near close to being a princess, considering I am a guy and not a girl and I wear dark and calm colors and not bright and obnoxious out wear.  
   It started off around the summer going into ninth grade. The High School! A dreadful place where people hear rumors of fights and bullying. I was scared! My second cousin Joseph Ederson was two grades ahead of me, so I knew I would have someone to go to if I needed help fitting in or if I was being pushed around. Joey, as my family called him, was a very big guy. He played football and baseball, and he was the biggest guy on both teams! He went through one football season without getting tackled once! He had the highest batting average with a .297 on his baseball team for three years! He wasn’t very good with his school work though, he passed, but just barely. I wasn’t worried about getting bullied, and it’s all because everyone knew we were cousins and couldn’t stand a chance against him in a fight!  
   The summer going into high school was wild for me! Joey and me were really close, so he “brought me under his wing” as he would call it and brought me to the parties and the high school life. He tried to get me to wear cool clothing from places like Pac Sun and Billabong, but I wasn’t interested in the items they had there. I decided to stay with my style of Spencers and Hot Topic, the bright colors and summer theme just never interested me. Most of the parties we had gone to were late night into morning and sometimes even the next day! They all had drugs and alcohol though, and when I saw this I was interested.  
   Joey had introduced me to some of the drugs at these parties a month before actually letting me to go to one of them. The most common drug he let me use was marijuana. When I smoked the brown plant wrapped in the thin cloth like paper I felt alive and alert. I felt great emotion and energy, which is something I don’t usually have. 
   
   
   
   My Rising  
   After we were back into school and going to these parties weekly, unlike the summer where we went to these parties daily. We all understood that our education was needed in life and that we shouldn't miss school to miss information we may need later in life. We walked through the halls dreadfully and painfully just longing to get out and get the the latest and greatest party where we could feel alive with the help of our numbing drugs and intoxicating alcoholic beverages.  
   Joey was a Junior only being in 11th grade, two grades above me. He kept supplying me when parties were canceled or we couldn't attend parties. He gave me the thrilling supply of drugs and alcohol. As we sit out on his porch looking into the dark night feeling numb from the high of the drugs and the buzz of the alcohol, we talk about the recent parties and the parties to come.  
   That's ALL we talked about! We used to talk about how we were doing in school, how his sport situation was going, or the latest video games. Now it felt as if we lost our connection, or if we just changed our great connection to a connection where we had no care in the world we were numb and happy. 
   I guess everything was fine, but it didn't feel like it. It felt as if time were just a blur now and that everything I knew was changing. My social status in school was changing to be a "cool kid" because of the football players, baseball players and jocks I have been hanging out with because of my second cousin. Along with hanging out with the "cool kids" these parties and the drugs and alcohol have also boosted my social status. Everything felt ackward, but at the same time it also felt so right!
