January 1st, 1972

Dear diary,

I got in a lot of trouble since the dolls were on fire. I told them that mommy made me do it. They started yelling at me. They told me that I must go to bed early and that I'm very tired. It is the first day of 1972! The year went by fast. I wonder why mommy said I'm starting this year with a change.

At school, I was having a hard time. This girl, Lucy Anne, was picking on me. She always bullied me, telling me how I'm weird and my family is crazy. I never seem to get a break.

Lucy Anne had long black hair and always wore pretty dresses. She was popular and loved by many other kids and all the teachers. Of course she thought I was weird.

She called me some more names, and I was growing angrier. I remembered what my mom told me the other day. I watched as Lucy walked away. Then, she suddenly tripped and hit her head really hard on a desk. She cried and went to the nurse's office.

I couldn't see my mom anywhere, but I had a feeling inside that she was here, with me. My subconscious whispered in my mom's voice, praising me.

I never felt more relieved.
