                 hurt my body in that way.
                 We got drunk and almost
                 fell off the bed.
                 We did other stuff too,
                 things I liked because I didn't    
                                                    
  have                                                                                                  

                to think. A month later,
                I was still making up work
                from that week I missed. I     this stanza confused me until I got to the bottom line. Then it made some sense.
                "had the flu". I was "fine"   some punctuation here would help, but your other stanzas do perfectly well without punctuation on the last line, so... Thumbsup          
                                                 

     I...                                                                                         
                               

                lied. We smoked during
                fourth hour, in that alley
                behind school. I never thought
                I would want to remember...    
                                                 

   
 Oops.                                                                                 
I really like this! The enjambment is lovely and shakes up the rhythm a bit. "Oops", I think, is an odd way to end the poem but I can see why you chose to end it on that. But why's there a different amount of spaces above and below the isolated words? It might just be an aesthetic thing. Either way, quite some depth concealed in this poem.
