Oh Darla! I know youalways think you are being ignored! I bought you a gift too!
alright! lets see...oh its a um.a..bookwell thanks I guess
I bought it in a marketplace in Maputo. It’s very old.
A diary. What kind of gift is that? I could get a diary at WalMart! But could you get a Kofi hat at Wal-Mart? Or an African head wrap?! I doubt it!
Darla, you are soself-centered.
You knowwho would be a great locker partner? Jill Morlan. Man, there’sa together girl. Smart, good-looking... but real nice, you know?And an honour student. Boy, that would be handy, with Algebranext year and all.
Dear Diary. What a lousy day... I love Margaret –. I just can’t stand how my parents dote on her. Anyway, Becky's mad at me. I suppose I don’t blame her – but come on! I didn’t know she wanted to be locker partners again.... I need a sane locker Partner. I wish Jill Morlan would be my locker partner!
