There you are. We’ve now laid the basis for our friendship. Until tomorrow. Yours, Anne
SUNDAY, JUNE 21, 1942
Dearest Kitty, Our entire class is quaking in its boots.
The reason, of course, is the upcoming meeting in which the teachers decide who’ll be promoted to the next grade
and who’ll be kept back. Half the class is making bets.
G.Z. and I laugh ourselves sick at the two boys behind us, C.N. and Jacques Kocernoot, who have staked their entire vacation savings on their bet.
From morning to night, it’s “You’re going to pass, No, I’m not,” “Yes, you are,” “No, I’m not.”
Even G.’s pleading glances and my angry outbursts can’t calm them down.
If you ask me, there are so many dummies that about a quarter of the class should be kept back,
but teachers are the most unpredictable creatures on earth.
Maybe this time they’ll be unpredictable in the right direction for a change.
I’m not so worried about my girlfriends and myself. We’ll make it.
