Chapter 4
Dear Brother,
Why take a pretest? I've been so busy with dance lessons and voice lessons that I really don't get much of a chance to study for anything. That's part of why my grades have always been poor. Mom and Dad haven't made a big deal about it because I pass all my classes. I have decided to try to study more and to get more involved in things this summer, but right now I have just a few weeks until the end of the school year. I do have six months to go before I test, so I'm not panicking yet.
And next year will only be eighth grade for me. You were the one who skipped fourth grade. I was already too involved in dance back then to skip a grade. Our middle school doesn't do anything other than the usual classes. Heck, they don't even have a drama class or club, which really sucks. If it wasn't for one new girl who started last week. I know just five weeks before finals and she changes schools. It's a strange and sad story. Her father had a poor CAP score and knew he'd never be able to volunteer, but was insanely jealous when any man approached his wife. Well, his wife was desperate to escape Earth and him and tried to find a man to take her. Erica's father found out. Let's just say his solution was brutal, bloody and sadly permanent. Erica is living with a great-aunt and transferred into several of my classes. It turns out she loves dance almost as much as me, although she prefers ballet and I do more tap and jazz.
Marilyn and I haven't been blowing many air kisses recently. She's worried about her CAP test. It's frustrating for her. She's always been the oldest kid in the class because she missed the cutoff by one day. If she had been born on September 1 she'd be in Eighth grade, but since she was born on the second she's in seventh with me. She's also a bit frustrated because a number of the boys like to tease her about her breasts. She's already wearing a C-cup bra, and your sister could almost still use a training one. I'd say its unfair, but I'm not sure I'd want breasts bouncing around while I dance.
You mention that you have three new sisters, what are they like? Do they have any interesting hobbies? Where are they from? How old are they? What do they look like? Do they taste different? Oh god, did I write that, forget that last question. An innocent virgin like me shouldn't be asking questions like that.
