The Dirt Diary
“As I put it in my bag, I can’t help feeling slimy. But the thought that the money was once in Steve Mueller’s pocket makes my insides tingle. Yes, I’m totally pathetic.
The money puts me at just about $100, and I still have two weeks until Mom finds out what I’ve done. If I save every cent between now and then, and if I manage to win the bake-sale competition this year, my whole crazy plan just might work.
As I flip through my cooking journal in homeroom, I watch Caitlin out of the corn...er of my eye. How did I not notice before how terrible she looks? Her skin is pale and gray, her hair looks like it’s never seen a brush, and she’s wearing sweatpants to school. Sweatpants! She and Briana used to be identical rich twins, but now next to Briana, Caitlin looks like a bag lady.
I want to go over and tell her how sorry I am about her dad, to ask if there’s anything I can do to make her feel better, but that would mean admitting that I’d been eavesdropping on her mom’s phone conversation.MoreLess
