But I found my mouth stitched up with glossy thread
I am not imagining things. There is something going on with the rest of my house. Some sort of secret that they keep cryptically alluding to whenever they speak in public. It's like everyone from fifth year and higher has joined a secret club. I'd convinced myself that I was just being paranoid, but too many things keep on happening. References to some "test" around Christmas, references to some secret meetings, the fact that suddenly everyone in my house keeps their arms covered at all times. Then this fight. I wish that I could know what the hell is going on, but who could I possibly ask?
Is it just a schoolwide prank?
Am I really just being paranoid?
Was I deliberately excluded, or did they just forget about me?
Which scenario would bother me the most?
How did this year pass so quickly?
