To the readers: I know you guys feel Mary Anne and Shannon are out of character, but remember… this is my story. High school can most definently change you. Mary Anne, isn't very out of character, you can't see her being a bit shy or awkward? This chapter will kind of explain things a little better. To see how Mary Anne has changed, look VERY closely at Dawn's letter.

BalletPrincess: You give great reviews. Yeah, my dad is French, my mom is black. So ½ French? I guess.

On with the show.

Mary Anne,

Shame on you! Ever since you became Catholic, you've been ever so critical and well… different. MA, I don't like it one bit! I know you've done your whole abstinence thing, but obviously, the rest of us haven't followed it. You are the only virgin here Mary Anne, and maybe that's a good thing for you! Nevertheless, this is Shannon's choice not yours! Imagine you being ashamed of her. Don't call me; don't talk to me or anything until you've gotten out of this attitude!

-Dawn

Dear Diary,

I'm getting married. (((Deep breath))) I'm getting married. Maybe if I say it three times, I'll actually be happy with my decision. Well my mom made the ultimatum. I'm pregnant, and I have to get married or… be disowned. I cannot believe my parents are being so harsh. And Maria, she's harsh too. She seems different, vague. Whenever I come home, she rushes into her room and blasts Ja Rule, so loud, the neighbors complain. And she plays the same song, I Cry, You Cry. Maybe it means something. Tiffany is different. She smiles, looks a little scared as if I'm a dangerous camel spitting at her. I cannot believe Ria though. She should be supportive. I got a congratulations card from Dawn and Stacey. They're happy for me; Mary Anne seems like Tiffany. Wanting to hug me and cry with me, but a little scared of me. Like the famous line in CANDYMAN, "What are you scared of me or something?" I feel different. I dunno. I kind of don't want Rene Charles, which is a little evil of me. But he's changing so much. (((Sigh))) I just want everyone to leave me alone.

-Shannon…Sidney

Claud,

Wake up and smell the French toast! Stacey is getting new friends! Too bad! You've got new friends. Why are you acting like this? Everyone deserves more friends. In a nicer tone, I'm glad that you are fine, I am fine too. Have a nice day.

Love,

Kristy

CitySweetieS1984: Hey Sophie!

SophietheStar: Stacey! Why were you absent today? I missed you. That Alison was really being a jerk.

CitySweetieS1984: I had a doctor's appointment. I know Alison is rude. So who'd you sit with @ lunch?

SophietheStar: Oh… the rest of the ballerinas. But you know them…we didn't really lunch. We sat and talked about the new diets and how to land a grand jete without your butt jiggling. LOL

CitySweetieS1984: LOL, Soph. You are hilarious! Okay, time for insulin! LUVYA!

SophietheStar: Bye Stace. I can't wait to meet your friends!
