Wednesday, October 29th,
at 11:10 in the A.M. I overslept and almost missed my Ancient History class. Mr. Jimmy
scolded me. He wasn't angry, though. He's sad. I think he only wants someone to talk to.
He told me all about New Hampshire where he grew up, and how the Fall always makes him
think of picking apples. He's been here a long, long time. He's very old.
The reason I didn't wake up in time was Sister Dana. I couldn't sleep
thinking about her. Last night her feelings got hurt because I didn't want to get
undressed in front of her. I don't know why I didn't. She's seen me before. I just felt
embarrassed, not having any hair, and with all my ugly red marks. So I waited for her to
turn around. Instead she ran away. I think she was crying. Lately she's been acting really
strange.
I know what a poisoned pawn is now. Julian told me. But I'm not too
sure how it applies to Sister Dana. I'll have to wait and see.
