June 1st Summary

Jessica writes to Hope. She mentions to Hope how when they were freshmen that they always thought the seniors were so cool and how everything seemed to revolve around them. Now that they are seniors, Jessica doesn't understand the stigma. She says it could be because she is more of a bystander in the senior activities than she is a participant, including deciding not to attend prom.
