A short story written for Writer's Craft:

It’s hard to see, but, squinting with your head tilted at an angle and with enough light, you’ll be able to see “Nothing ever stays the same” etched onto the trunk of the old oak tree down by the river. This oak tree must have had hundreds of initials-usually paired together and in hearts-scrawled along

I hope you know of your talents, too.
And good luck tomorrow if you're going to the meet!

Yes, just the 800m!
Keeping up with sports is so much harder in grade eleven, and I can imagine, in grade twelve. Every time there's a track meet there's a physics AND advanced functions test the next day, or a few days after it.

Love the story Justine, and Gresch will love it too. Just wondering, is this the diagnostic story or the one that's actually marked? Both of my stories were so random and nothing compared to this, yet I still did fairly well, so you'll do amazing.

And wow, what library did you borrow that book from?
It's amazing to know there are such wondrous people living in our city, haha. I want to do that someday. Leave a little something for the next reader... it's pretty neat.

This is only the diagnostic, unfortunately. Unfortunately because he said he would have gave it all four's! And now I'm having trouble writing the one that's actually going to be marked. I want to read yours; it sounded pretty interesting from what you said it's about.
I just borrowed it from Erin Meadows actually, so that was pretty surprising. It really is neat leaving notes for the next person; also what's really cool is when people leaves their own postcards in those Postsecret books.

Thanks for reading it! :)

Dear Justine

It was really by chance that I found your livejournal. It was through Erika's comment section. And I just happened to scroll down to see this.
I wrote that during summer school, this past August. I was at Joan of Arc, and during Math, I remembered something I wrote a while ago. I decided something: that if I left it in that very book, I know that the next person to read it would understand it. I'm so happy it came to you.

love,
Aelya

Dear Aelya,

Wow it's amazing that you were able to find my livejournal by chance. You have beautiful writing, and I'm not surprised that out of all the library books I'd find it in an FLB book. The crazy thing is that I was also at St. Joan of Arc for summer school too!

Love,
Justine
