The Library Girl

Chapter 16

February 24, 2015

I'm so sorry I haven't written for a week, but I've done that quite a few times now, so it shouldn't be that much of a big deal anymore. And you'll probably understand why I have been so upset over the last week to want to even touch my diary. Please don't be angry.

Nothing much has happened lately. School has been unbearable since the day I wrote last. The Anti Book Movement has become like a club, and there seems to be new members joining every day. They have meetings at break times and sometimes after school. Elva and the three boys are the leaders of the club, and take turns hosting meetings. All the members of the club, but especially the four of them, always go out of their way to pick on me and my friends. It's so horrific, I can hardly stand it. I wish I had some kind of power over them. If I was one of their parents, I wouldn't allow meetings at our house, and if I were principal of the school, I would close the whole club down.

I just finished reading an amazing book . Let me recommend it to you. It's called Island of the Blue Dolphins and it's absolutely incredible. When I was reading it I couldn't put it down, I was so lost in the story. But now it's finished and that makes me so sad that I want to cry!!! Oh, well, there are heaps of good books out there... I'll just pick another one and soon I'll be lost in another story. The last book finishing won't matter to meat all anymore.I walk over to the shelves and scan them. Something catches my eye. I see the title. Call it, Courage. That sounds interesting. I pull it out and carry it over to the couch. I sit down with it, open it and begin to read. I'm sure I'm going to love it...

Goodbye, birth month! Tomorrow a new one begins...I'm sad though. I don't like the idea of it not being my birth month anymore. Birth months are almost as special as the birthdays themselves. I wish I wasn't born in the shortest month of the year.

 Also, March is Lily's birth month. Not my friend Lily,but my dead sister. I'm sure I'll cry a lot on her birthday. Not to mention the fact that tomorrow it will be two months since the fire. Which is too sad to even think about.

March has begun so I will write a march...

March under the rising sun

The setting sun, the noonday light

The velvet midnight sky

Marching with memories of times past

Of loved ones passed away

Their spirits keep us strong

In our hearts, in our souls

Books are the future of the world

A library is a place of honour

We stand united, holding hands, hearts in harmony

Forever more, together we are strong enough

To rise above all difficulties in our path

And vanquish the Anti Book Movement

And save those many lifetimes of books and writing

To live another day.
