Dear Bia,

I tried taking your advice in being optimistic, but it's really hard. You know my friend Hazel? She's switching foster parents again, this time she's going far away. I'm not sure if I'll ever see her again.

And I'm mad at Percy. He found some pictures of us, and kept prying. I didn't want to talk about it! I mean, the guy apologized after realizing he went too far, but still. I almost started crying. I didn't want him touching those pictures, let alone see them!

And he found out I dye my hair. Remember how I told you Papa made me dye my hair and change my outfits so that we could move to America without being obviously Italian? Well, Percy found out. In the pictures,  my hair is still ginger.

I mean, I kind of got used to looking like this, so I just never changed my wardrobe. Percy was surprised. He says I look depressed.

Am I depressed?

I still love you, Bia, and I miss you.
