Kari Walker August 12, 2003.
As I sit here on this spot supervising D-tent, I can't help but look at the short fluffy-haired boy who is almost finished with his hole. It's amazing how someone so small can be so strong. That's something to say . . . He must be at least four centimeters taller than me!

Kari stopped writing as she felt a presence behind her. She turned around to see Zero standing there.
"Hey." She said, smiling a little. It was silent for a moment, and then Zero spoke.
"Can you teach me how to read?" He asked quietly. Kari looked to her journal, then back at Zero.
"I don't have anything for you to write with." Kari said. Zero looked at the journal in Kari's hands, then back to her face.
"Okay." He said quietly before slowly walking away. Kari looked after him, wishing that she had brought an extra notebook. Kari looked down at her notebook and flipped through it until she found an empty page. She thought about it for a moment, and then stood up and started to run to catch up with Zero, who was walking towards the camp.
"Wait!" She yelled. Zero stopped suddenly and Kari practically ran into him. He turned around and looked at her. Kari held up her journal. "I can teach you letters on a page in my journal." Kari said. Zero looked at her for a moment and then broke into a wide smile. Kari blushed, and to her horror, it seemed that Zero had noticed. He was now fixing her with a curious look. Kari cleared her throat a bit.
"Where will we practice at?" She asked.
"We could practice at D-tent," Zero said. "The others are going to be in the Wreck Room." He added when he saw the look of fear on her face when he mentioned D-tent. Kari thought for a moment and then smiled.
"Alright. Each day after digging, I teach you the alphabet starting tomorrow. Sound good?" Kari said. Zero just smiled.

" . . . Q . . . R, S, T, U . . . V, W, X, Y . . . Z." Zero slowly recited. Kari smiled.
"Wonderful! You really learned a lot today. Maybe tomorrow we can move up to writing!" Kari said. Zero grinned. Kari blushed and then tried to hide it by tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "So . . . I'll see you tomorrow." Zero nodded. Kari smiled and left the tent. After Zero was sure she had gone, he lay down on his cot and looked up at the canvas ceiling. There was something about Kari, something different that made him feel . . . beyond words. He had never felt that way before. He sighed, smiling, and continued to stare at the canvas ceiling until his thoughts lulled him into a peaceful sleep.
