Here is Bailey talking:
I wish I could just be home schooled. I hate going on the bus, especially when I have to be the first person picked up. My life would be so calm if I didn’t have to see her on the bus. I wonder if Mom would let me stay home and learn with Dad now that he’s home.
I have never told anyone this, but sometimes I dream I am watching my own dark and rainy funeral.
If I had the guts to tell Debra she’s a thug, I just know she’d deck me.
The only one who really understands me is Dad and that's because he listens to me. I sometimes can’t think of what to say next because there is so much listening on his side. When I feel like we're stuck in the middle of an awkward silence, I look up and he's looking at me. I can’t believe he’s still listening. I say things to him that I would never be able to say to any other.
