Dear Diary,

I don't know how I'm going to be able to go to school on the third (five more days). I know Mr. Jack will make us write about our winter break. And I'm just ... not sure if I can handle it.

I don't wanna talk about it at school. I don't wanna see the sympathy on everyone's face as they hear that my Grandpa died. But I know that as soon as the piece of paper is in front of me and I start thinking about it that I'll have a full breakdown.

It's not like I can just ask Mr. Jack if I don't have to write about winter break. He'll ask why. And I don't want to tell him. As far as I care, Aaron is the only one who will know.

I should just ... skip it. Pretend that first week never happened. Aaron would know and understand. But what about the rest of them? Hopefully they wouldn't notice if I wrote about Christmas and after. (Not writing about Christmas Eve. That's just one day after he was buried.)

Love,

Alison
