You're never gonna believe this!

September 29

Hey, Favorite Roundball Guy!

Are you up to your chin in practicing for basketball tryouts? Mom's still waiting for me to bring home info before she decides if I can go out for the team this year. You know, stuff like fees and practice days and times. Junk like that. 

I sure hope she figures out a way it'll work for us. Maybe playing basketball will help me feel normal. Well, kinda.

You should see the kids around here play. I think they were born with basketballs in their hands. 'Course there's not a whole lot of other stuff to do around here, so it's basketball or nothin'.

You're never going to believe this: one of the best players is a guy called "Harlan the Slasher". Jamari told he and him best friend had a minute back last spring. Long story short, the friend got stitches and Harlan got suspended for the rest of the year. Man, does that blow your mind or what?

I finally know my way around school. It still feels huge. So far my teachers seem okay. Thanks to Jameer I know a few more kids, and at least I have some to sit with at lunch now. 

Mom's saying supper is ready, so I better go.

Check this out. Harlan found it online and thought it was me to a T. Did I mention that Harlan's a pretty funny guy?

There's Mom again, gotta go.
