It's Only Temporary (2008)
“That was putting it mildly, Skye thought dully the morning after the dance as she lay in bed, pretending to be asleep long past the time Gran usually roused her. Skye was almost more miserable than she had been in her entire life. This was right up there with that phone call after Scott’s accident.
Back then, she had been miserable mixed with angry, Skye confessed silently.
This was something else altogether. This was miserable mixed with – what?
Embarrassment. Dread. Loss.
Skye couldn’t stand ...thinking about the loss of her beloved sketchbook – the last in what had been a whole series of losses. The thought of her own private sketchbook–her sketchbook! – being in the hands of the mean football guys and the bad ballerinas – sneering Melissa! patronizing Taylor! –made Skye want to curl up and die.
What were they doing with the sketchbook right now, besides prying into her innermost feelings and reading about her problems? Laughing at her? Passing around the pages? Or ripping out the pages, more likely, getting her drawings photocopied so they could plaster them all over the school on Monday morning?MoreLess
