Sunny is thrilled when his teacher Aurelia shows up on Monday morning to break the silence of Darryl silently reading the newspaper and sipping coffee. Aurelia is an artistic and eclectic person with tattoos and dyed hair. Sunny explains that Aurelia homeschooling Sunny has always been a part of his parents’ “plan.” Sunny details the other parts of his parents’ plan which began when they met during middle school and outlined their shared goals and vision for their life.
Sunny recalls a day from the period in which Sunny was not writing in his diary. He and Aurelia took a trip to a museum, and while looking at a statue of an armless lady, Aurelia began crying. Aurelia explained that it was her anniversary and took Sunny along with her to get a tattoo to celebrate. When they arrived at the tattoo shop, a large man named Fish greeted them, and asked Aurelia how many years it has been. She told him 20, and that she wanted green ink for her next tattoo. As Fish tattooed a green star on Aurelia’s wrist, she explained that she developed an addiction to drugs in college, and that Sunny’s mother helped her through in part by taking her to a dance class.
