Yeah, so I'm actually making this a series. It's probably going to be short though, maybe 10 chapters.

A New Face at Bullworth: Part 3-
It's now New Year's Eve. I had a rather nice Christmas, despite not spending it with my family. I did get some Christmas cards from them, and my old friend Cindy. They all said that they hope I am doing good and that I'm making new friends and having fun, and that everyone misses me and can't wait to see me after I graduate. Cindy's was especially nice. I really miss her. I haven't seen her since she moved to California. I should send her an email sometime.

I also got some presents. My brother, James, sent me a collection of 8-track tapes. They consisted of songs from the 1970s. It came with a note and that said to listen to these songs if I'm ever "blazed." Even though I don't smoke, I played the tape when I was hanging out with Charlie. It even had the David Bowie song he played. Charlie said my brother had great taste in music and would love to meet him one day. My sister, Jessica, sent me a picture of her & Yale's Cheerleader team. I forgot to mention my sister is a cheerleader at Yale. Boy, there were some beautiful women there. I'd sure love to visit there one day.

Charlie even got me something. He got me a really nice watch, which he claims he "stole from the mall" as well as a Christmas card... with a picture of him flipping the bird. Wow, he actually did it. While I appreciate the watch, I don't think he stole it. Charlie doesn't seem like the stealing type. Sure, he can be a jerk to people who annoy him, but I just couldn't picture him stealing something. He doesn't seem like the type of person who would harm someone just to better himself. He's a really great and nice guy.

Although, I did find something rather odd about Charlie. On the 28th around 11:30 PM I decided to take a walk around the academy. It was cold so I dressed in layers. When I got down to the football field I saw Charlie sitting there. He had on a thermal shirt and checkered pajama pants. He was on the phone with someone, and seemed to be in a very heated argument. Once he hung up the phone he began crying to himself. It really puzzled me. What could cause Charlie to act like that? Usually he acts as if nothing bothers him, but to see him like this had me worried. I decided to head back to Harrington House, although I think I will bring this up to Michael in private. Since he's known Charlie longer and is one of his best friends, he might know what to do.

On a brighter note, as I mentioned before, it's New Year's Eve. As of right now I am hanging out with Charlie, Michael, Bradi, Jimmy Queen, and Nicole in Michael & Charlie's dorm room. Charlie is on the phone with someone while Michael and the others are deep in a conversation about some tv show. I'm just sitting here, silent. I, again, feel like the odd man out. When Charlie gets off the phone, he seems really excited.

"Guys, guess what?" Charlie asks.

"You win the lottery or something?" Michael asks.
