DELIA

September 7th
Dear Dimitri,
No. Sophomore year has not been treating me better. Part of me wants to go back to freshman year. All those stupid kids from middle school? I have at least 1 of them in each of my classes. Which makes school even more unbearable. I'll find a way to get back at them. I just wish I could switch to online homeschooling.

You'd be proud of me. I made a friend. Sort of. I think. There's this girl in my math class and I let her cheat off me a few times. She invited me to sit with her at lunch and shared her Oreos with me. It's pretty serious.

I have nowhere to go. I don't have any other family besides Aunt Sue, but she's got a houseful of kids and she doesn't need another burden. Besides, if I leave, then what happens to my dad? Who will take care of him? He'd drink himself down to Death's door if I weren't there to help.

Aaron, huh...? Is he cute at least? What does he look like? It definitely sounds like he's flirting back. Boys are dumb. Super dumb. Sometimes they can't take a hint. He sounds like a nice guy. I'm rooting for you.

I am absolutely TERRIFIED of driving. I'm scared that I can't control myself on the road and just thinking about it now sends my anxiety through the roof.

Do you still have your therapy sessions?

Love, Delia
