It’s okay. It’s totally okay. I’m Anne Frank, and that’s all that matters.
Cheers,
Tara
YAY!
I am beyond thrilled for you, Tara!! Anne Frank! What an achievement. You are going to get into any college you want now! What school would pass up such a multitalented girl? And all your extracurriculars! You basically started the Thanksgiving Turkey Drive. Do you know how many needy families have had a happy Thanksgiving because of you? I can’t wait to do the drive with you again. Oh my god, it’s so soon.
Yes, yes, yes, we are totally moved on! I love QWE, by the way. Believe me, I know how insane this year is. We are all overwhelmed. You know I love my parents more than anything, but they are pushing me so hard to get into Northwestern because they both went there. It’s a wonderful school, but what if I don’t get in? Are they going to disown me?
We are on with Stacey for next Saturday! Excited for you two to finally get to know each other, and you know what? Our world is expanding, Tara. That’s pretty cool . . . a lovely precursor to what college will be like, right?
Love you, BB Minkey, and SO BEYOND HAPPY FOR YOU!

Soup!
How incredible was our hangout with Stacey?! I will happily answer that: BEYOND INCREDIBLE!! The three of us make so much sense together! All of us are smart and kind, wicked well-dressed, and pretty. It’s just sooo rare that three girls who check off all those boxes find each other, ya know? Stacey is just so great. That was so funny when she told us how her hair got mangled in her cotillion dress zipper! I didn’t even know that. Did you?? And how her mom had to use olive oil to get it out, which ruined her dress but she didn’t care because she just threw on somethin’ else and her jean jacket and was like, “This’ll be fine.” Hey, if anyone knows the painful struggles of havin’ wicked long hair, it’s this girl. Us longer-haired girls go through a lot, but it’s definitely worth it. If you ever grow yours out, you will sooo get it, Steffed Animal.
It was just an all-around solid night, Stef. Loved talkin’ about colleges with her, and I really do get why she wants to go to school in Vermont . . . I’ve always seen her earthy-crunchy side. I’m sure she’s like, “Once I get outta this judgmental town I can finally wear my Birkenstocks!” No one gets us here, but that’s okay . . . University is just around the bend. Don’t you think it was cute how Stacey was like, “Tara, when you get into NYU, and Stef, when you get into Northwestern, and when I get in to my school in Vermont . . . let’s all go to dinner to celebrate!!” So adorable. I wonder where we’ll go to dinner? In the city, definitely, don’t you think?
Anyway . . . what an awesome night.
Love you SO MUCH,
Tara
P.S. Which college is she hopin’ to go to in Vermont? You don’t know, do you? Not that it matters.
Tar,
Wasn’t that a fabulous night? I am so happy it FINALLY happened, and I just knew that if you got to spend quality time with Stacey you would see how lovely she is. I had a feeling you would get that she isn’t at all what you thought she was. I am so happy you guys know each other now. SO HAPPY!! Yay!
Oh and I have no idea where in Vermont Stacey is planning on going to college. She is so private about that, which I totally respect.
Lives, Loves, Laughs . . .
Stef
Tara—
You okay? I’m really sorry that they canceled The Diary of Anne Frank. You would have been awesome in it. You can always perform it for me in my bedroom. My mom’s goin’ out of town, so we can pretend my house is the attic and I’m a bad guy tryin’ to find you but when I see how beautiful you are I have second thoughts. Then we hook up. Love you. You’re awesome. Hey, you always have your cheerleading competition to focus on. You will definitely win Nationals this year.
Love ya,
C.P.C.
To-est my sweet Tara—
Oh my god, I just heard! Are you okay? I do not know what to say except I love you and I am always here for you.
Love,
Stef
Dear Tara,
Hey. I’m not really sure what to say. I can’t believe they canceled the Winter Play. I heard it’s because musicals draw a much bigger audience, so the ticket sales are higher, which earns more money for the theater department. But it’s great news that there will still be a Spring Musical. I wonder what it will be?
I know you are really upset right now, Tara. I was really excited to play opposite you in The Diary of Anne Frank. I have no doubt that you would have been incredible as Anne. But I bet you will get a lead role in the Spring Musical. I know you want one more lead role before you graduate. That means a lot to you. I know it does. Man, I am bummed for me, but I am more bummed for you about this. Are you okay?
Thinkin’ about you,
Matt
Hey Matt,
I appreciate you checkin’ in on me. I can’t really put into words how I feel right now.
Maybe I just don’t deserve good things? Maybe I was cursed
