Dear Diary,

            Hey. Amy asked her mom if I can go with her to the lake so she wouldn’t be bored and lonely. Her mom said yes but only if she has me back to cook supper by 3:30 pm. Amy has been talking to me about what my decision is, if I am going with mama and daddy or if I am staying here forever. I told her about what Darryl and I were talking about last night and she said she already knows. I am guessing Darryl already told her because we are all really close. I told her I am going with them but if I get upset or I choose to stay behind I will and Darryl will stay with me if I or he chooses to stay home. Amy isn’t so happy with Darryl and me because she loves him and she wants us to stay in contact but she said we can’t do that if we are dead. That made Darryl and I upset and we left Amy to her thoughts. We decided we should try to go to sleep so I will write back soon. Bye!

                                                                                                                                                Anna
