THE one thing that Dawn Rochelle remembered most about her fourteenth birthday was that she was still alive. In her diary, she wrote:
March 23,
Well, Fue made it for almost a whole year. It doesn't seem possible that Fve had leukemia since last April. I wish this hadnt happened to me. I wish I didn't have to go to the clinic for my checkup next week. I wish they didn't have to poke a hole in my back and take my spinal fluid — what if they find cancer cells? I can't think about it.
Today at school I heard that Jake Macka is moving. I wonder what it would be like to have him kiss me. I

kill her, as it had Sandy Chandler, her once and best friend.
She sighed and shut the purple cover of her diary. FU write more in it later, she thought. She'd learned about keeping a diary from Sandy. She often felt that if she died, the diary was something special and personal her parents could keep.
"Happy Birthday!"
Dawn whirled around to the smiling face of Rhonda Watson from the school's cheerlead-ing squad.
"Your mom was out front and said I could come on up. What's happening?" Rhonda bounced into the room. Her brown hair swirled over her shoulders as she flopped onto the bed.
"Nothing much," Dawn answered. "What's happening with you?"
