We arrived at our new apartment. it’s very pretty, it has a garden too— and kids. i like it. My mom’s been seeing a guy but i’m not sure i like it. There are more kids to play with.
i asked my mom i could go play with the other kids, she said yes so we played tag and hide & seek behind a cabin. I like it here.

My mom’s boyfriend moved in, she says he’s my step brother’s dad. i’m not sure i like him, he makes me feel like bad, he doesn’t look nice; his presence makes me shiver like he’s a bad man, oh well maybe it’s just me.
Jan 29 next day.
I woke up today a bit scared. My brothers dad was yelling. I don't know why but he seemed really angry, I hope it goes away. I went outside to with my brothers but my older brother was sad. I don't know why he didn't want to play. my mom said I'm supposed to play outside with my friends.
I played until my mom called me and my brothers to eat, their dad still seemed angry but maybe he's just having a bad day. I don't know when he moved in or why but I don't think I like it. After we finished eating, we watched some TV and played, my stepdad took my brothers out to go fishing, I stayed home with my mom. She asked me if I wanted to go to school and I said “Si! Yo quiero ir a la escuala!/ Yes! I want to go to school!” I love my mom.
Feb 1st
I'm going to school! I'm very nervous because it's my first day and it makes me want to throw up. I don't want to go anymore. I get up and my mom is getting my shoes ready, she said waiting until the last day was best, she kept telling me I was pretty. Of course I'm pretty, I'm a princess! I have heels, makeup AND my dresses.
7:10 AM
Mom said we have to go to school early but my tummy keeps hurting. I hope I feel better when I get there. Me and my mom talk until we get to school, she tells me to be good and that she will come get me later. I'm scared but excited!
She drops me off with a older lady, I don't know her name.
?: Z?
I turn around and the lady called my name. how does she know my name?
maybe she's just really smart. I walk to the lady and she said to wait on the floor for the other kids. other kids? I didn't know there were other kids coming! I sway and play until then lady gives me crayons and a piece of paper then she tells me to go to a build that she calls a ‘Cafeteria’ I wonder what that is but I go inside and sit down.
I meet other kids and they are so nice! I like school. I play until more and more kids show up. then more ladies come in and close the doors after a bell rings. They start calling names and tell us to go with the ‘teacher’ who calls our name
