Jan. 9
Dear Corinne,
Today at play practise, we were going over It's a Hard Knock Life, and Rina was next to me- and suddenly I felt like I couldn't hold myself up any longer. I kinda wilted into her, and she wrapped her arms around me and everyone stopped singing.
Rina: Leigh?
I straightened myself, resisting the urge to hold my head. My vision was dancing and I couldn't focus on anything.
Rina: are you okay?
I swallowed. Me: ya.
Rina: Gosh you're skinny.
Cassie: it's cause she never eats.
Me: I eat!
Ms. Pollock: come on, girls! Keep going!
Rina: uhh... Leigh looks really pale.
Me:
Ms. Pollock: Leigh, are you okay to keep going?
Me: yep.
You: you can take a break if you need to.
Me: I'm fine.
But it was scary, really it was. Not to be able to hold myself up anymore.
Love,
Leigh
