Reliving history.
Today of all days, why'd we have to watch a video with Pickets Charge in it, the memories I didn't want to remember were bound to come.
"Today class we are going to watch the last part of 'The Battle of Gettysburg with Pickets Charge in it."
That's all my friends were talking about how awesome it was and also sad because he lost all of his soldiers. Well except one. When he said that, I went stiff as a board.
"Hannah are you alright?"
"Yeah just fine." I replied with venom in my voice. Everyone knew when I spoke like that you better drop it or get your head ripped off. The teacher just nodded and then turned on the movie.
Every time something gross would happen someone would flinch or screech. I sat still looking at the battle that I lived through, reliving the horror, imagine your worst memories coming back through your head at the least convenient time, and you not knowing what to do just sat there frozen because you're afraid that if you move you'll attack. No one knew there was a woman that fought in the battle of Gettysburg but me. Every time someone made a remark about how badly women would have been in the war made angrier then I was before. I got u and walked out of the class and continued to the library.
"History?"
The librarian was the only one who knew i fought in the Civil War. "We were watchin Pickets Charge." I let my accent come out since i didn't have to hide who i was.
"You could always tell the teacher you already studied this subject."
"I already tried he didn't believe me he needed a parents proof, and since I had none..."
