Salim asked me to our school's Senior Dance and I accepted, of course! I can't believe it's finally my turn to attend with my boyfriend after I was the one who told Sal to ask Mary to his dance in the first place. I wore a beautiful yellow patterned dress and Salim looked dashing in his suit. The gym was transformed with balloons and streamers. I spent a lot of time with both my friends and my boyfriend. Dancing with him felt like a dream!
We stole away out back to the courtyard and he told me, "I don't know how I got so lucky to have you, Gloria. You're beautiful, smart, confident, friendly— and I don't know what I'm going to do after school."
"We're only seventeen, Salim," I told him. "We have time. The night is still young. Will you help me make it last?"
School's been going well. I always walk with Betsy and Naomi and we love to laugh together. Today Mr. Davenport made everyone give a speech in front of the class. Everyone was nervous but once I got up there I think I did a good job. Having an actress as a mother might've worked to my advantage.
Betsy and Victor invited Salim to study with us 'cause she says Salim is good at history and he can help us in Mr. Davenport's class. Not that I need much help, as my grades are pretty good. We did a lot more joking around than actually studying about the Declaration of Independence, though.
all my shows are coming back, and i'm reminded of how many men i love and how attractive they all are. nothing will compare to my TGM hyperfixation, but i would also just like to warn y'all in advanced lol
