Chapter Sixteen
July 20th
I wrote last time that I wasn’t sure anyone in this town really liked me. Now I can emphatically say that that’s not the case. But is anything on earth ever really simple?
Now I’ve got Huey—someone I really care for but have some concerns about—who is very interested in me. At the same time, I’ve got Jake. Jake is certain he’s fallen madly in love with me. All I can say is that it sure doesn’t take long for Jake to fall in love. But I know he’s telling the truth. I can see the way he looks at me. I have such a great time with Jake—as a friend. And I really need a friend in Dappled Hills. I need someone to go to the movies with or go swimming with or just to hang out with. But am I leading Jake on if I keep doing things with him?
