October 8th, 1971
Dear diary,
Today was my first day of second grade. I was so happy to see all of my friends! I wore my favorite dress, the one that was pink and had pretty designs on it.
Dad did not wish me a good day at school, like he used to do all the time when Mommy was around. He seems more sad now. He doesn't make me dinner, he doesn't tuck me in anymore, I'm just tired of this.
When I went to school, I ran over to all of my friends and was smiling and was so happy. I've missed them all so much!
But it was strange, no one was happy like I was. People started to run away from me. What was going on?
My favorite teachers looked scared of me, and did not even look at me.
I ran to the bathroom and started crying. Why is everyone being so mean? What if daddy was right? I will have no friends?
