Entry 1

Today I saw Scout, Jem and Dill. They played a strange tire game, which led Scout strait into my yard. Jem is the one that pushed her. He pushed her so hard that she and the tire went through the gate. Scout and the tire stoped at the front step. Jem was so scared . He screamed and screamed, but she did not know what was happing. Jem said: "Scout get out of there." That's when Scout realized where she was. She ran out of my front yard and forgot the tire. Jem was mad at her for forgetting the tire; but he was too scared to go get it himself. They ran all the way home, without looking back. Why are they all so scrared of me? How can they believe all those rumors about me eating cats. It doesn't make sence!

If still wish I had someone there for me. I wish I had had a caring family, and nice friends. I wish I had someone to communicate with. Something other than this old diary of mine, Why can't the kids just grow up and be interested in me or try to understand what I feel like ? I have been used to being here in this house that I do not want to go outside. What would others think of me?
