Dearest,
The dicks haven't done anything in a while. It's scary. I'm just waiting.
They must be planning something big.
It's ominous.
I feel like a sitting duck, or whatever the expression is.
Like I'm just falling into their trap. But I guess that's kinda what I am doing.
Nothing big, no rumours, no pushing me and my friends into any ponds, no beating anyone up.
It's weirdly calm.
Peggy dragged us to the bleachers today to watch her crush do something or other I don't know. She made us sit so far away I wasn't sure what they were actually doing.
It was slightly cold, and miserable, and I was scared I was going to slip like Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries.
But I managed to keep my balance.
It took me a while to figure that shes 110% serious.
"Maria?" I burst out, and she desperately tried to shush me like she could hear us from 12 miles away. "You like her? Like really?!"
"Yeah and?" She huffed, crossing her arms.
"She's a slut, or so the rumours say. Man-magnet."
"And the rumours say you tried to fuck Lafayette what of it?" She glares at me.
"Plus she's permanently on and off with James Reynolds. Totally straight." James points out.
"Yeah well there's no harm in fantasising."
"Under the sheets at night?" I tease her, and she shoves me hard.
"Shut up! Oh god she's looking."
I look at the dots on the ground. "She is? I cant see anything but tiny squiggles."
"Maybe you need glasses." James nudges me, holding up too fingers in front of my face. "How many fingers and I holding up?"
"Et tu, Brutus?"
Peggy made us watch whatever probably cheerleader practise was going on. I doubt her crush would ever become a reality, but like she said, there's no harm in fantasising.
Well sometimes there is but not right now.
Peggy's too shy to do anything bad. I don't think she could say one word to Maria without crumbing.
I mean to other people she doesn't care about she's like amazing, she speaks so fast and so good, she knows exactly what to say and she'll never back down from a fight.
But if Maria ever spoke to her, even just hi, she'd jizz her pants.
You should have seen the weird way she looked at Maria.
I'll sketch it right now.
I mean she's totally head over heels.
And Maria is totally straight.
It's a conundrum.
Every day I thank fuck I have a boyfriend.
Yours today and tomorrow,
Jackie =)
