Entry Six: Outside Reading

Now that Joise was in the "popular" crowd she figured there was nothing else that she wanted. Even still though, she thought something was missing, like a puzzle piece. Only, you can't find it. Josie dated Matt despite the fact that he was flat out rude. Remind you of anyone you know? She tried to be nice to Peter, but didn't really make the effort as much as he did. Peter walked towards Josie to talk to her at school one day. Matt being the obsessive boyfriend he was, punched him. In awe, Josie didn't know what to do, but in my opinion, she could've done better. Rather than helping Peter, she leaves....with Matt. It's weird how people change, don't care about the past, don't make the effort for something that they might've made before. Later on in the book, we find out that Josie miscarried with Matt's baby. If she would've had the baby, would they have gotten married? Matt's abusive and yet, she stays with him, for the attention, superiority. It makes you wonder why people actually do this. Peter is still hung up on the way he feels for Josie. He's not gay like everyone assumes, he just likes this girl he has no chance with. Not a crime. Despite Peter's concerns, he writes Josie an email, a love email. Courtney, Josie's friend, receives it on the computer, only to do something dreadfully humiliating with it. First, Courtney convinces Peter that Josie likes him back and tells him to come see her at lunch. And to top it all off, she spams the entire school with the love email from Peter. Cruel. It almost makes me sick to my stomach just thinking of someone who would do that, try to ruin someone's life. The character is either too insecure about herself or truly doesn't have a conscience. Stay tuned.
