★ · Yeah. What's Happened to "Sugar?" · JayKay49 · 2015-12-06

Sugar hasn't shown up for school for 7 weeks now. Last semester she was bragging about that 24 yr old guy from the gas station she was going steady with. Then, she was excusing herself from second hour English class to go vomit earlier in this semester. She was wearing her mother's house dress to school the last few weeks we saw her. Oh oh. Sugar got sent to Alma. You know - that place for unwed mothers... Well...that's what I thought this film was going to be about when I saw the title. I was disappointed.
