Walked down by the bathing pond
to try and catch some sun.
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing
into hankerchiefs as one.
I don't believe they knew
I was a schoolboy.

Day 193, Thursday, December 10
Frettin' in the moonlight
I Dyed For Beauty

I saw Tess walkin' with Kate near lunchtime from the cafe t'the Store, both 'v 'em lookin' near t'tears. I ain't gone by Tess' t'ask though - I'm half afraid she'll be there alone, and I'm startin' t'feel less sympathetic t'her not talkin' t'Kate.

'Course, the whole thing got me thinkin' 'bout my own problems. 'Ri and I ain't really talked for near on two whole weeks, more 'n usual and after what happened, and then that night at the Carnival with Damien, we really need t'speak on it. I just dunt know what t'say. It was fun, sure, but I dunt want t'hurt Damien and I know how they'd take it 'f I took up with 'Ri, like they was good 'nough t'kiss 'r step out with but not 'nough fer anythin' serious.

And that's why I'm knockin' on 'Ri's door past ten, 'cause I couldn't sleep 'till we've figured it out. The moon's washed everythin' out in blue and white 'n black, and it's more bleak than I'd care fer with my worries.
