Before

October 12th 1987
Dear Diary,

Today I watched my friend Lola rip apart this kid Marshall's rap notebook in front of everyone at school. I just stood there and watched. The whole scene was just odd because Marshall really didn't fight back or say anything, he just simply walked away with his head hanging down.  At least he wasn't getting beat up. That can be a little hard to watch even though he probably deserves it. At least that's what Lola, Carrie, De'angelo, and Cory think. I'm not so sure I agree. Lots of kids get bullied at my high school many of those kids me and my friends have bullied, but I've always thought that Marshall was special. Although I can never say anything nice to him or ever defend him. Oh well I'd better be going, mom just got home with dinner, finally. Xoxo, Ruby

Dear Diary,

Today was my 16th birthday. I went out with Lola and some of her friends. We went to "the shelter" to watch Lola's boyfriend perform in a rap battle. I've seen her boyfriend rap before but tonight was different. Not because of how good his rap was but because of who his opponent was. It was Marshall Mathers. He calls himself M&M. As soon as his name was announced everyone started booing. I have to admit, I did too, at first. A couple of people including Lola threw things at him on the stage. He stood there frozen and never started rapping. Although I kind of wish he would have.  -Ruby

Dear Diary,

Today I helped beat up this girl named Katrina in the girls bathroom. We didn't get caught because she was to scared to tell on us. On another note I heard Marshall Mathers finally won a rap battle. I wasn't there though, I wish I could've seen the one time he didn't choke. He still believes he is going to be famous one day. I'm not so sure. -Yours truly, Ruby

April 5th, 1989

Today I saw Marshall rap for the first time. He really wasn't that bad. It was during lunch he got up on one of the tables and just started doing it. It was surprising, I guess. People had different reactions. -Ruby

May 5th, 1989

Dear Diary,

Today Marshall dropped out of school after finding out he failed the ninth grade for the third time. He told the principal that he was going to make it as a rapper. The principal thought he was nuts. Well at least I'm going to be going into my senior year of high school soon. I can't wait to get out of this hell hole. -hugs and kisses, Ruby

Dear Diary,

My senior year has been going great so far. I was homecoming queen last September. But I wasn't surprised, I mean come on, how could I not win? Everything is great except this weird feeling I get when I think about Marshall not going to this school. I don't know why though, it's not like I ever talked to the guy. I heard he works at Little Caesers now.

February 14th, 1990

Dear Diary,

Today was Valentine's Day and it has been a very unhappy Valentine's Day. Me and my friend Lola are no longer friends because she found out that I slept with her boyfriend. And on top of that my mom told me that we are moving to Massachusetts to be closer to her side of the family. I won't even get to finish my senior year in Detroit.
This sucks. -Ruby

June 18th, 1995

Dear Diary,

Wow, I guess it's been a while since I've picked this thing up. Flipping through some of these pages now makes me realize what an awful person I am. I'm I mean I was a bitch in high school. I've always wondered what happened to Marshall after I moved away I guess I just have this weird obsession with him.  Some nights I have nightmares, mainly just feeling guilty that I never helped him. Those big blue eyes staring at me as if silently asking for help that I cruelly denied. I'll probably never know what happened, it's best I move on. -Ruby
