reasonable doubt that Iâll never be the same again.
It pains me to write about it, but here goes.
After lunch, May and June and I walked to the pool. I was really excited. I had on my new bikini that I had to beg Mom to buy for me. It has removable pads, so I took out the right pad, which made my boobs look the same size. I thought I actually looked good.
When we got to the pool, I swam with May and June for a while. We had fun. They were really good and listened to everything I told them. When we were done swimming, I took them to the snack bar and we all got frozen candy bars and Cokes. Everything was going great. Then Matt Parker came over to the snack bar.
I didnât even know he was at the pool. With the exception of the one time in the hallway at school, I havenât seen him since we kissed. Itâs like he disappeared and suddenly reappeared. Thatâs when the most embarrassing moment of my entire life happened. Hereâs a recap:
Matt: (Looking totally hot) Hey April, whatâs up?
Me: (Trying to look and sound cool) Not much.
Matt: (Smiling) I like your bikini.
Me: (Smiling and about to say something cool and/or funny and/or clever, but didnât have a chance to because my crazy sister said something first.)
June: Itâs a string bikini. Thatâs what April calls it.
Matt: (Still smiling) I see that.
June: (Putting her hands on her hips.) Itâs got strings here.
June: And thereâs another string down there.
The next thing I knew, June was pointing to my crotch. I looked down. The end of my tampon string was hanging out, and Matt Parker was standing there staring at it. I swatted June away, but it was too late. Matt started laughing hysterically and looked away. Then, before I could even finish grabbing my towel to wrap around my waist, he said something about having to go, and he was out of sight.
I thought I was going to die of embarrassment. I wanted to die.
I STILL WANT TO DIE.
HouSton, we have a problem.

I have a large problem, and itâs not that Matt Parker knows Iâm having my period.
When I went to the mailbox this afternoon to get the mail, I came to the horrible realization that Billy and Brynn have been at camp for a week and I havenât gotten a letter from either one of them. Iâve been spending so much time in babysitting hell, I havenât had time to think about my friends, but now Iâm fully focused and I have some questions. First up on my list: Why havenât I heard from Brynn?
Given everything thatâs happened with Billy, I didnât expect to get a letter from him, but no mail from Brynn?! Sheâs been at camp for a whole week, and I donât think itâs too much to expect a letter, one stupid letter, from my best friend. Whatâs going on at Camp Silver Shores thatâs making Brynn Stephens too busy to write to her best friend?
I donât want to think about why Brynn hasnât written, but what Iâm starting to think is this: Brynn + Billy together at camp without me = not a good thing.
People get really close at camp. Theyâre already close, but I know theyâre going to get even closer just like the three of us do every summer. Without me there, the two of them will be like twins who tell each other everything.
Billy will tell Brynn that heâs mad at me for telling her he kissed me. Brynn, who said, âAny girl would want Billy for a boyfriend,â which I canât help but think includes her, will tell him that I kissed Matt, and then she will snag Billy for herself. Sheâs the one who said it would be so much fun to have a boyfriend at camp. Even though Iâm not sure I want Billy for a boyfriend, I know I donât want Brynn to have him.
