I
talked to Dee about her problem with
Miguel. Actually she doesn't have a
problem with Miguel at all. She has a
major problem with that creep Juan. I
can't believe he was so
sketchy.
Some
girls might think "Big deal, so he tried
to kiss her." But I don't see it that way
at all and I told Dee that this is sexual
harassment and it is a big deal. If you
don't want a guy near you and he's not
listening, that's sexual
harassment.
It
makes me mad just to think about that
slime ball coming on the Dee. And then
threatening her and trying to scare her
into being quiet about it or he's going to
tell Miguel some filthy lie. Ohhh! That's
the worst part!
So
I told her that she needs to talk to a
counselor. Ms. Harden is very cool. She'd
take this seriously I know she would. And
that way Dee can stop carrying around this
huge secret and stop feeling like she's
the one who did something wrong. Ms.
Harden will probably give her good advice
about what she can do about
this.
I've
been so upset thinking about Dee and what
happened to her that I haven't really
spent much time thinking about my own
problems. I guess that's good, in a way,
but the thing about problems is that not
thinking about them doesn't make them go
way. When you remember them, they are
still there.
JoAnn
called me to tell me that my mother told
her mother that I was rude to my parents.
And that I had told them that I didn't
care what they said, that I was going to
date my white boyfriend whether they liked
it or not. Then her mother told her that I
was grounded.
"Did
your mother say how long I was grounded
for?"
"Don't
you know?"
"No.
That's why I'm asking you."
"I
don't know, Becca. But I can
ask."
"Never
mind."
"Did
you really tell your parents that you are
in love with Chaz?"
"No!"
"But
you kinda are, aren't you?'
"No!
I don't know. Shut up,
JoAnn."
