Book Burn [Day 12: Book]
I found a burn book today.
Not gonna lie, of all the people in this school to have a burn book, I figured it would have been Sadie. Then again, she has no problem saying these things to people’s faces, so I guess it would be a little redundant. And besides, Kyle is kinda obvious when you think about it. I’d like to say I was noble enough not to read it, but hey, if he’s been stalking us for years, I might as well see what he dug up. Which is apparently a lot.
It’s actually pretty impressive. I’d write down what I found, but I promised a certain mob boss who had it confiscated that I wouldn’t. In fact, this will probably disappear as soon as I post it, but it’s the principle of the matter. All I can say is what it said about me, which, well, burnt pretty hard.
“Jenna Hamilton, junior. Suicide attempt rumour; self-esteem issues real. Cheating on Matty with Collin, like she more or less cheated on him with Jake. Self-centered but well-meaning. Tends to overanalyze and push away those she cares about. Sore spots: mother’s letter (resolved), losing her virginity in a closet, mother’s friend Ally. Possible assets: secrecy, creative writing skills, somewhat effective against Sadie Saxton. Easiest form of surveillance: private blog.”
Well then, I might as well greet my audience. Hi, Kyle. Honestly, I was super mad about what you wrote. But then I realized it’s only because it’s all true. Talk about a reality check. So, thank you for the outsider perspective; I needed the clarity, and the indirect compliments. I owe you one.
