Editing Shadows Hills Polly Diary (section)

==August 13th==

I've been scared about school.

For lots of reasons, too.  On the one hand, things got pretty bad with all the stuff with Anne and everything, and Carrie's going to be there, and that whole situation...

And on the other hand, my feet don't touch the ground, and my eyes are gold, and it would be so, so easy to just let that wildness lose, to punish them for their stupidity and hatred and intolerance...

But I got a letter from this private school.  So did my folks, but mine was private.

It's a school for monsters.

My folks don't know this, but it's a school for students like me.  (Am I a monster?  Hells yeah.  There just isn't a question about that.  What I've done, what I ''want'' to do, what Lady Midday has always done... I remember people killing me/Lady Midday before, but I also remember ''why,'' and I can't really blame them.)

But this could be a real chance for me to start over.

I'm not going to hide one damn thing about me at that school.  They can take me or leave me, but I'm going to be who I am.

I hope I'll be able to get a date...
