September 21st, 2002: Music

Dear Diary,

Sorry for not writing in awhile. Life has been pretty good I guess you can say.

I've decided not to call Robbie. I'm just going to wait for him to call me.

Which, knowing my luck with boyfriends, will not be for another 10 million

years.

I'm so bored. I haven't made any new friends since the move. I spend most of

my days in the house watching TV or hoping for Robbie to call.

Anyway, bad news, I ran into Lucy today. I was just out getting some ice

cream at a local deli and there she was. Here's what was said between us:

Lucy: Roxanne? Is that you?

Me: Yes, Lucy, last time I checked it was me.

Lucy: Listen here blondie; I know you want Kevin! Well, back off, he's mine!

Me: Look, Lucy, I don't know what you're high on, but I have no interest in

Kevin at all. It's Robbie I like.

Lucy: Sure...that's what they all say!

Me: Ok...I'm leaving now.

Lucy: I'm watching you, Roxanne!

Yeah, that was really weird. It scared the shit out of me. Well, now, I'm just

sitting here listening to one of my favorite songs. 'Every Time' by Jessica

Andrews. I love that song! I'm now singing along with it to my headphones...

"Oh, carry me

Far away

Don't hold back

I won't break

Leave the ghosts behind

All I know

Wrong or right

Just the thought of this night

Will get me every time

Every time..."

Ah, I love listening to music after a long day. Oh yeah, Hannah sent me a

letter today. It was nice hearing my from sister again. I still wished she'd

come to Glen Oak and live with dad and me. Then at least I'd have someone

to hang out with and junk. And protect me from Lucy, who is probably

plotting my murder in her sleep.

Sheesh! Look at the time! I've still gotta email Leslie and Hannah. I'll write

back in a few, k? Bye!

Mauh! Love,

Roxanne C. Richardson

P.S. "Every time, every time..."
