[September 21]

Dear Diary,

So it turns out some of my fellow students dislike me. I here bear witness to my first public
slapdown.

[Setting: Cafeteria. Our heroine, young hopeful Margaret Adler, is peering through the sneeze
guard at the day’s limp salad offerings. Anna Franko and Chloe Martin appear on either side of
her.]

Anna: I bet she’s pretty pleased with herself.

Chloe: I bet she’s real pleased.

Margaret: Excuse me? Are you talking about me?

Anna: Hilda and Josef pulled her away for center work this afternoon.

Chloe: It’s only because she has that simpleton look. Not because she’s good.

Margaret: They pulled you to the center, too, Anna.

Chloe: Did you hear something?

Anna: Nothing worth worrying about, that’s for sure.

Chloe:  Or maybe they pulled her forward because they needed a brunette to stand next to those blonde guys.

Anna: A good thing her hair was up. Have you seen her hair when it’s not in a bun?

Chloe: Hair? That rat’s nest? And have you smelled her? She’s disgusting.

Anna: Clumsy and disgusting. Her turn-outs suck.

And that’s when I’d finished loading up my plate (salad, salad, and more salad, I’m so sick of it) and turned away from the bar. “What’s wrong?” Maddy asked when I sat down. I forced myself to smile. “Nothing!” I said. “Nothing at all.”

xoxo, M
