"How Do You Documentary a Life When Real Life's Getting More Like Fiction Each Day?"

Am in an incredibly stupid predicament. Carston, at fencing? His hitting me has just passed the limit of mistake. At this point, it's pretty clear he's trying to hurt me, because one can't accidentally hit someone else that hard over and over again.

Mum says as we were leaving she heard his father yelling at him for it.

It hurts, though, it really does. I can feel it through my breast protector, and he knocked me backwards several times. He doesn't even bother trying to hit on-target. He just hits me.

And halfway through the drill he started smiling while he did it, and he looked happy, and he never looks happy when he drills with me. And then he hit me really hard.

I don't want to tell Curtis. I feel awful about it, because I just don't want to tell Curtis. I feel like I'd be... I don't know what I feel like I'd be doing. I just feel like I shouldn't. I don't know what to do about it.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be bruised all over my chest. and arms.

I wish I had fenced with Jay. I thought he was going to fence with me, and he's very good, and he's my height and build, so we're perfect together. I fenced with him at first, but then someone else dragged him away. I should have got Cassidy while I had the chance.

I don't know what to do.
