Ever since I saved Freddy's life, my schoolmates have looked at me differently. They actually respect me now. I like that I've gained respect, but I never wanted to be popular. I enjoy being around people, but I hate being the center of attention. It's awful. The 流行的 girls even look my way now. We don't have a lot in common, but one of them seems nice enough. Her name is Kimberly. However, there might be a problem with her and my other friends, particularly Bridget. Bridget 说 to me today, "Grace, it's good that you're nice and friendly to everyone, but I'd watch my back around Kimberly." I said, "Why? What's wrong with her?" Bridget said, "She just doesn't seem nice." I said, "I know she's a bit rough around the edges, but she seems pretty nice to me." Bridget then said, "Grace, I've heard her make fun of kids with Down syndrome." I said, "Are 你 sure?" She said, "Yes, I'm sure." I said, "Did 你 really hear her make fun of them, 或者 are 你 just saying that because 你 don't want me to be 老友记 with her?" Bridget said, "Grace, it's not that I don't want 你 two to be friends. I just don't want 你 to get hurt." She walked away. I felt a bit troubled after this conversation. After school, Kimberly and I worked on our study guides for our 下一个 test. She talked. I listened. She then said, "You're quiet, Grace. Is everything okay?" I said, "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, "Are 你 sure?" I said, "Oh, yeah. I just have a lot on my mind." She said, "You're worried about the test, aren't you?" I said, "Yeah, I guess that's it." That wasn't it, but I didn't want to cause any drama. She said, "Don't worry, girl! 你 got this! I'm sure you'll be fine." I said, "Thanks." I later talked with my aunt about the situation. I said, "I don't know what to do. Bridget doesn't think Kimberly is nice, but I do." My aunt said, "Just try to be a good friend to both of them. 你 don't have to hang out with both of them in the same room. But also remember this. Wounds from a friend can be trusted. Bridget could be right. Just hang back and see." I'm still a bit upset, but I'm not as upset after talking to my aunt.

I am feeling much better today. I don't feel great, but I feel much better than I did a few days ago. I was able to go to school today. Michael, Sabrina, and Bridget helped me get caught up in my classes. I'm lucky to have such good friends. Of course, I did feel a bit tired after finishing my homework. I took a nap for a while. When I woke up, it was almost 6:00 pm. I didn't realize I had slept that long. When 晚餐 time came, I ate really well. I didn't feel like eating much for the past couple of days. My appetite has returned. I think I will go to 床, 床上 early tonight. I'm feeling pretty tired right now. I'm not completely better, but I'm close to it.

Summer Vacation has been great so far. While I've been enjoying school 更多 since I've gained a couple of friends, it's nice to have a break from it. I also received some exciting news. On July 9, I am going to be in Chicago to see The Devil Wants Peace in concert! I was so excited when my uncle told me he was able to afford the tickets. I later told my friend, Michael, "You should have seen me when my uncle told me the good news. I was jumping up and down, crying tears of joy." Normally, I'm not that excitable, but The Devil Wants Peace is one of my 最喜爱的 bands. Since I was six, I dreamed of seeing them live, and now, I can stop dreaming. This dream is becoming a reality. I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet them, but the fact that I'm lucky enough to see them is great.
