Kari: First, how we met.
Sarah C. sat in front of Kari C. in Mr. Brainerd's 7th-grade homeroom. Yes, his name was really Mr. Brainerd. He retired partway through the year, I think, and his replacement was the young, tall Mr. Hall.
Our lockers were adjacent all through middle school and high school. We sat next to each other in high school homeroom (Mrs. Reinis? Is that how her name was spelled?) It was a tiered chemistry classroom and we sat near Mike C., the douchebag, and Gina C., with that luxurious super-curly hair.
