11 / 7 / 14 I met a boy at the shop today, Gary King. He didn’t really seem the type to talk to me, butI guess he’s got a thing for “bookish” girls. Saidit was hot on me. But anyway, he seems harml-ess enough. I don’t know what I got myself into,but I agreed to go meet he and some of his frie-nds at a pub sometime. Irving is excited for me.He’s made plans to come over to give me oneof his infamous “how to not be a dickbag” lec-tures before I go, so that’ll be fun. I really hope he wasn’t just fucking withme. I took a risk agreeing and I really don’twant to be fooled. We’ll see. Syd
