Lilly says, “Who cares what people are saying? You know the truth, right? And that’s all that matters.”
That’s easy for Lilly to say. Lilly’s not the one who people are saying all those mean things about. I am.
Somebody left another yellow rose in my locker. What is up with that? I asked Kenny again if it was him, but he denied it. Strangely, he seemed to get very red in the face about it. But this might have been because Justin Baxendale, who was walking by at the time, stepped on Kenny’s foot. Kenny has very large feet, larger even than mine.
Three more days until the Nondenominational Winter Dance, and nada on the date front.

One rose, yellow, still no indication who left it. Perhaps someone is mistaking my locker for Lana’s. She is, after all, always hanging out in that area, waiting for Josh Richter, whose locker is next door to mine, so that the two of them can suck face. It’s possible that someone thinks he is leaving roses for her.
God knows no one at Albert Einstein High School would want to leave flowers for me. Unless I were dead, maybe, and they could fling them onto my grave and say, “Good riddance, Miss Thang.”
Two more days until the dance. Still nothing.

It just occurred to me:
Maybe Kenny is lying about the roses. Maybe they really are from him. Maybe he’s leaving them as kind of teasers, leading up to asking me to the dance tomorrow night.
Which is kind of insulting, really. I mean, him waiting this long to finally ask. For all he knows, I could have said yes to somebody else by now.
As if somebody else might have asked.
HA!
