Bill Tate - got Ruth & Chad - and then that nite we went to the struggle at the Armory.  That is important in as much [[preprinted]] [[underlined]] January 4 [[/underlined]] [[/preprinted]] as it marked the beginning of the popularity.  Yes we were the belles.  Most of them were young - and we acted real condesending - danced all the new contortions - and carried off the evening - Chad kissed me quite often.  He kisses nice - and I wanted to be kissed.  I remained passive thru out it all.  I like to be cold and the only way I can be is by knowing - well what if he leaves - there is always someone else.  I want to go to Ark U. I probably would get the rush - being new - and quite likable at times.  I can't stand Baker.  I'm miserable where I'm not popular - then I mope and think, maybe I'm in love - when I know I'm not.  I made up some poetry while riding over some of the new asphalt streets Bob supervised the paving of.  It sounds like a yaching party -

Gliding - over the smooth clear surface 
Brings me to a land of memories.
Vivid blues of [[preprinted]] [[underlined]] January 5 [[/underlined]] [[/preprinted]] summer skies.
Red bricks piled close to steaming tar.
A man, Apollo likes watches and gives orders.
[[strikethrough]] Sleeves [[/strikethrough]] ^[[White]] shirt sleeves rolled to the elbows -
(I knew why) Arms faintly tanned.
Soft pink cherub like face
Shaded by a straw hat.

Once standing not far apart from it all 
Talking with me - there was a lump in his throat.  I caused it.  That has passed.  
That power over him has gone.  
I hurt him then kissed the hurt. 
He hurt me -- and left.

Damn!  I wish everyone wouldn't ask me what he was doing - and I say "I don't know" disjointedly - Maybe he'll come back - I may not want him then - I don't know -
