I am told my parents are divorcing. This really messes with me. I leave the house to go work at the Hy-Vee in Maryville. When I get there, I realize I have on my blue sandal and a shoe. I tell D.A. and he tells me to go home and change. I see R.D. when I am outside the store. There are lots of factory workers walking as well. I get home and talk to mom. We hug and cry. Dad walks in and gives me a card. We shake hands and hug. I tell them I need to get to work, already 45 minutes late.
When I am on my way, it is back in St. Joseph and now I am looking for a school, central high school. I come upon two cute goth/punk/emo type chicks and a guy who appears to be ones boyfriend. They tell me central is on Edmond Street and I leave and head that direction.
