This really groovy girl came into the restaurant yesterday and I really dig her but I think she's with the dopers crowd because she asked me if I had anything and I said no and she really looked bummed out. We still talked and she even gave me her number because she thought I was cool and wanted to hang with me sometime. I told her I don't do drugs anymore but I'm also not completely square either. She understood. Her Name's Justine and in some ways she reminds me of Lou and in some ways not. At some point I will have to tell her about my drug past and I can only hope she's not too weirded out and disgusted by it all.

Later

I just got off the phone with Justine and I feel real let down. Justine has a boyfriend and she's going to a party tonight but I can't go because I know there
will be drugs there and I know I'll want to be on again.
I really hate being left out but don't dare tempt myself either. Well maybe the square kids at school will give me a chance now that I have been clean and acting more like them than a doper. Hopefully, maybe?
