Polly Clopes's Diary



First Entry

Hokay, so I got a new diary for my birthday. Not the worse gift my dad could have gotten me, all things considered. At least it's not another sheep.

Anyways, uh... Yeah. Is it always this awkward writing in these?

Second Entry

First day of school today. It was okay, I guess. I've been homeschooled up to this point, so it definitely could have gone worse. I wasn't even the tallest person there! Isn't that great?! Minimal teasing, too. Not much aside from the usual stares and "how's the weather up there" comments. Seems like I'm the only cyclops girl, but that's okay.

Cousin Deuce is doing good. He's dating this super-preppy girl named Cleo. She struck me as sort of a snob, but she was pretty nice to me, probably because Deuce asked her to. At least I'll have a bit of protection...

Classes are pretty fun so far. Ms. Kindergruber, the home ick teacher, was really nice and understanding about my, er, diet. A kindred spirit, perhaps? Really wish people would stop dropping hints about the Casketball team, though. Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I'm interested.

Still, all in all it was a good day. I'll let you know if anything else comes up, diary! Until then!
