      My love,

      when you read these

      words

      I will have left this

      world.

      5

      I won’t repeat here

      the things that you

      already know, things

      I was able to tell

       you in my previous

       letters or during all

       those years I spent

      with you.

      I want to thank you for your

      devotion; the last days at the

      hospital would have been a

      nightmare had you not been there.

      Thanks to you I am

      leaving peacefully, and

      I could never thank

      heaven enough for

      having met you.

      I asked my mother to leave

       you what is most precious to

       me on my desk: my diaries.

      6

      I want you to be the one to keep them. All of my adolescent

      memories are in the blue one.

      dark blue

      sky blue

      azure

      navy blue

      Klein blue

      cyan

      ultramarine

      Blue has become

       the warmest color.

      I love you, Emma,

      you are my life.

      Dear Diary, Today was

      my birthday. I turned

      15, and you were my gift

      from Grandma!

      I have already tried

       many times to keep a

       diary but this time I

       promise to stick to it!!

      8

      I am a

       sophomore . . .

      CLEMENTIIIINE

      It did me a lot

       of good to leave

      the suburbs. And

      I’m starting to

      meet a lot of

       people and make

      close friends.

      THE MATH PROFESSOR IS

       SICK—THAT’S SO EXCELLENT!

      YEA, IT’S GREAT…

       BUT WE’LL ONLY HAVE AN EXTRA

       HOUR TO EAT BEFORE HISTORY,

       ANYWAY.

      EXACTLY! WE CAN

      DIGEST IN PEACE WITHOUT

      GETTING CRAMPS FROM

      THOSE STUPID EQUATIONS.

      9

      HEY, CLEM,

       THAT SENIOR WHO

       KEEPS STARING AT YOU

       JUST WALKED BY!

      OH

      SORRY

      I’M REALLY IN

       A HURRY, AND I

      WASN’T PAYING

      ATTENTION…
