Dear Mom,

high school starts

dear mom,

middle school went by pretty quickly.

i went back into school and nobody really messed with me.

everyone was sort of scared of me?

because of my fight with emma. 

aaron didn't really talk with me after the fight.

cedric came over every summer though.

he brought video games and we played them.

he also comforted me whenever i was feeling bad.

we also watched movies with each other.

during the movies, he'd take a hold of my hand,

and it felt strange. 

maybe it was because of the fear of him seeing the cuts on my wrist?

or the bruises on my knuckles that are forming?

i don't know.

or maybe it's because it could be something more. 

anyways, i'm heading into high school now.

cedric forced me to go because he was getting tired

from seeing me constantly moping around and crying. 

he told me how high school and being social

with others would help make me feel better.

i don't really believe it.

but i guess, we'll see? 

love,

ann
