June 22
I overslept today. Two weeks of waking up early is nothing compared to school, but I overslept anyway.
Henry came over with a bat today and I was really scared. He wanted to go to the park, so we went, and I brought Liota because I didn't know when my mom would be home. Plus, Henry was nicer when he was around.
Henry wanted to play baseball. Real, actual baseball. I pitched and he batted. He hit me in the knee with a foul ball, but he said it was an accident. I said it was okay, but in a way, this Henry made me more nervous. I don't know why he's doing this or when he'll stop, but it won't be good when he does.
