An Excerpt from My Diary in 2004
Dear diary…
My heart burns for Austin with the white hot intensity of the sun but he doesn’t like me. It’s devastating what I’m going through. He had a girlfriend named Ann and she dumped him.
Even when he had an excellent chance to like me, he didn’t. Rachael is rude now and Jovon and I can’t stand her anymore. So the ‘Three Musketeers’ are breaking up.
My piano lessons are getting harder and I lost the county spelling bee. It wasn’t my fault. The judge mispronounced the word. Jovon’s mom is running against him for the school board. I hope she wins.
I’m eleven now and there are only 3 months left of school before summer. I can’t wait to be a 6th grader. I’m growing up too fast.
They changed our seating chart at lunch and I have to sit with a slob and a snob.
