Plot
Lex has bounced back and forth between crowds all her life, finding it easy to befriend most people. It was bound to happen, to fall in with the bad eggs eventually as she avoided them all of high school. Her sophomore year of university proved just that. Lex has smoked pot for a couple of years now, all in hopes to relieve any pain from the knee injury she sustained in grade school (and because weed is awesome). It’s never gone beyond that and she’s never wanted it to.
At a recent gathering, her “friends” brought along party favors -- all kinds of colorful prescription pills she’d never be able to name without a pharmacy degree. Everyone dipped into the favors, mixing them with alcohol. But not Lex. No, Lex wasn’t booted from her dream school of Barnard for her own participation, but because she was caught disposing of the drugs after the party. She was ashamed, but knew in her heart she’d be more disappointed in herself if she had ratted out the true culprits. She accepted the punishment, left school with her tail between her legs, and still hasn’t told her parents.
