Week 12

I read for about 3 hours this week. In the reading, many changes took place. Macy still hates the library job, but is loving working for Delia. She helped Delia make a bunch of sandwiches when Delia was in a bind and found out all about how the company started. Delia's sister, which was Bert and Wes's mother actually started the business, but Delia took it over when her sister died from Cancer. So, Macy found out about the boys' mother and about Wes's past problems. He was a troublemaker until his mother got sick and then completely turned around. Macy has a major crush on Wes so I think it was good for her to know she can relate with him because they both lost a parent. She hadn't told anyone about her father, but everyone found out one night. Macy was always invited to go out with her coworkers from Wishbone Catering but always turned them down. One night she decided she needed change and went out with them. They went to a popular hang out and she ran into a girl from her highschool. This girl blabbed about Macy's dad so everyone found out. Nobody reacted weird though which is something Macy isn't use to. She always gets the "poor thing" look and nobody gave that to her. Later it's just her and Wes and they both talk about the deaths of their parents a little. I think this is good for macy. She has always felt like she couldn't talk about her problems, but has now found people she could talk to. She even told the girls about her and Jason and they made her realize he wasn't all she thought he was. She really needed some good friends and I think she has found some. She relied on Jason and all of his friends, but never had any of her own. i have seen people like this and I just feel bad for them. I don't really understand how a girl can be so dependent on a guy and basically revolve her life around him. Next week I will probably take a break from reading The Truth About Forever so that I can read the book The Man Who Loved Clowns. I have to read a novel about an exceptionality for class and last year I was told that this book was really good and put it on my reading list, so I figure now is the perfect opportunity to read it.
