thinking. I thought about her joining my family through my brother Dave. They’re the same age and everything! I think it would be so great if they got together. There’s one thing though that I should mention—she’s white. But to me, it doesn’t matter. She’s just cool and she could be any color and still be cool. In other words, she’d be a cool black chick as well as she is a cool white one.
Anyway, I don’t mean I want her to turn black, but I’m saying I would accept her as part of the family like nothing was different. I won’t even mention this to Laura and Dave, but if it was meant to be, fate will do its job.

I ’m doing pretty okay in school I must say. Report cards came out. I didn’t get anything below an 80. My mother isn’t too proud about it. She says there are not enough 95’s and 100’s. Unbelievable! She wants and wants and wants.

W e fitted our dresses for the wedding today to see how they’ll look. I think it’s gorgeous and when I look really close, the dress looks good on me, but when I see my face, it looks dull. Maybe it’s the color of the dress but I know I’ll definitely have to wear a lot of makeup that day. I wonder when my mom is going to make me wear makeup regularly. I hope soon. Girls at school wear it but they overdo it! They look like paintings. It’s not the way I want to look.

I love Devoy so much. He’s growing up so fast. I guess I don’t talk about him much. He’s become such a big part of my life. I can’t wait to see him walking and talking. I hope he calls me Aunty. I also hope he will think of me as someone he has to listen to, not a kid like I’ve been thought of as being for all my life. When I was talking the other day about abortion, I was thinking of him. What if Rondah had done that? There would be no Devoy now.

T oday at lunch Kirk came and sat beside me. Well I guess he’s done ignoring me because he put his leg over my leg. Now this was too much. I would have let him keep it there if I was like Jeanine. She’s a really whorey girl. She goes around sitting on guys and touching them up. Anyway, I pushed it off. Then Jeanine came by. She put her arm around it. Later that lunch period, Kirk’s cousin told me that Kirk and Jeanine made out in his building. There goes everything.

R ondah’s new boyfriend is such a good chef. He cooked us a feast today. It was so good. He seems to be good at a lot. I feel we have a lot in common. He dresses hip, he listens to the music I like and everything. He’s perfect. She better hold on to him.

A pril is practically here. Once again thoughts of the wedding dance in my head. I’m so much looking forward to this. Rondah’s planning to sing. She has a pretty nice singing voice. She’s rewriting a gospel song to fit the occasion. I hope she does well up there.
I hope I do well too. I hope I don’t act stupid when I have to walk up the aisle! Please God, don’t make me mess up!

I t’s April Fools! I don’t really like to fool around on this day though. My great grandmother was born today. She died when I was around six, but when she was alive, she was really special.
What I remember most about her is she really seemed to love me. The day of her funeral I had a dream about her and since that bees have always been attracted to me. I know it sounds weird but in the dream she came to me and said from now on she would come to me as a bee and she’d always look out for me. I’m serious about this! Ever since that bees are always following me and sometimes I say to them “Hi Granny.” Strange it is, but I really believe this.
Happy Birthday Granny!

S chool is such a drag! Whenever I look forward to things, anything that comes before it seems to drag and drag.
