At school, the kids are getting meaner by the day. Last Wednesday, there was spit dripping down the front of my locker when I arrived in the morning. Totally disgusting! I complained to the principal, but it didn’t do any good because I found more spit on my locker today. At home, David and Catherine are fighting for their lives and Nanny’s perma-smile has been replaced with a wide-eyed look of fear. And as for me, I’m a total wreck. I don’t sleep much anymore. Night time is when they come — the anonymous voices yelling and cursing our family from the shadows of the street. The first night, they threw eggs, tomatoes, and garbage at our house and I hid under my blanket with Sam. The second night, they threw rocks. When a large stone shattered my bedroom window, I picked up Sam and ran screaming down to Nanny’s room to hide out until morning. As soon as Catherine and David called the police, the attacks stopped. But I’m still too scared to sleep much. Night after night, I lie awake in my bed listening for noises and waiting for them to come back.
