chapter 9

Dear Dr. Maude,

I don’t have a lot of time to write because I’m about to go to the mall with LAUREL MOSES of all people, if you can believe it. Dad’s not done meditating yet, so I thought I’d check my e-mail first (a) to see if you had written back by any chance and (b) to ask you another question.

I won’t go into it now because it’s kind of a long story, but basically, A LOT happened last night. First of all, I found out that Laurel was dumped by HER BFF, too, which made me feel (a) sorry for her and (b) kind-of, sort-of like her. And THEN she completely saved my life when I was about to be totally humiliated by Rachel and Missy in front of all the girls in my class at this ice-cream place which made me like her even more. So because (a) neither of us has plans today and (b) I have this assignment for social studies class where I have to do something to earn good karma, I decided to ask her if she wanted to go to the mall so I could show her what it was like to have a regular day doing regular kid things.

I have a feeling I’ve already started earning karma points, because she was so excited about the idea, you would’ve thought I asked her if she wanted to go to Paris or something. And then after that I blurted out, “Hey, do you think our parents went away this weekend to get engaged, because Marissa says that when people go away for two nights it’s because they’re getting engaged?” Well, she got all pale and then she said, “You know, I hadn’t thought about that, but now that you bring it up, I did overhear my dad talking to his best friend, Larry, on the phone, and he said that things were getting pretty serious with the woman he was dating.”

This is what I was afraid of, Dr. Maude. I don’t listen to Marissa a lot of the time because of the lying thing. But I do find it a little weird that her mother said the SAME EXACT THING—“Things are getting serious”—to Marissa right before she got engaged to Phil, Marissa’s stepdad.

Is this true—that if a person says that things are getting serious, it means they’re going to propose? I really hope not because maybe Laurel’s not that bad, but, still, it doesn’t mean I’m ready for her to be my STEPSISTER!!

If you could PLEASE write back and let me know, I’d really appreciate it.
