DIMITRI

February 1st
Dear D,
Alison's parents seem really nice. I'm glad they like you. If they didn't, it'd kind of be awkward. If It makes you feel better, I haven't visited my dad once since he got arrested. I don't think I can. I don't think I ever will. One day maybe, but I don't have the desire to ever see him again. He really hurt my mom, and that's unforgivable. Though, I'll have to, eventually.

Dennis is IN LOVE with Waggles. He sleeps with the stuffie every night. There was a little accident with it a few days ago, but my mom got the stains out. Kids at school were picking on Dennis for bringing a stuffed animal to class. At recess, they took it and threw it in the mud. Dennis cried for an hour straight. The school had to call my mom to come pick him up. Now he tucks Waggles in bed every morning before school.

I can't believe Junior year is almost over. We only have 3 months left. Spring break's only a few weeks away. My mom's taking Dennis, Diamond, Riley, and I on a 3-week cruise. I've never been on a cruise before. I usually get seasick, so I'm trying to prepare for it. Physically and mentally.

I don't really like boat rides.

Love, Dimitri
