Diary entry #8

 9/14/42

I'm enjoying high school so far. It's only just begun, but I'm passing all my classes, and the lunch table's pretty talkative (Kasey and Adam especially).  Even if everyone's a little tense about what's going on (except for Kate, for some reason, she's not too fazed; it probably all sounds a little crazy to her, but she's supportive and nice.)

Saw Jason, practicing archery in the gym again; he's amazing. I really don't know too much about that kid. I know it's probably a big responsibility to spring on the new kid, but I might need his help in a mission if things get serious. 

Viper Tech is starting work on the Viper Bots' backup again. Samson says I should stay clear, "Can't risk losing another dagger wielder". But I can't just let that viper-suit guy go.

Mom's doing well for now. I've been spending more time with her, walking in the park, and I've been helping out at home a lot more. We both still miss Dad and want to get to the bottom of his disappearance. She's very protective. "Be careful, Dan, I can't handle losing you too."
