Boyfriend

You are 15 again. Write a diary entry about what you endured at school today.

November 14, 1991

Hi Diary,

Had a bad day today.  I failed a science quiz, I didn't finish my Spanish homework, and I think I'm getting bronchitis again!  I did get an 80% on my math test, though.  I just painted my nails melon but I think I'm going to put a coat of poppy over it because it's not bright enough.  I'm really sick of Rhonda.  Everything is "Mark Mark Mark and Mark this and Mark that and Mark Mark Mark Mark Mark!"  Ok, we get it, you're infatuated.  She's my best friend but lately she's acting so horrible, since she got a boyfriend. Did I tell you what she said to me yesterday?  I told her I thought we should go practice our singing in the chorus room 7th period, and she was like "No!  *gasp* Mark will be there 7th period." And I was like "Oh, come on.  If we make it big you'll be singing in front of thousands of people.  I think you can sing in front of Dork Brain."  And she said "Well, at least I HAVE a boyfriend."  Can you believe that? It was so mean.  I just rolled my eyes but it really made me feel bad.  I just don't know who she is anymore.  She's not the Rhonda I know.  Sometimes I think I'll never have a boyfriend.  That I will just be that old lady down the block that everyone thinks is a witch because she's ugly and gross and she never leaves her house.  

On the bright side, I had a great time talking to Mandy and Kristin today at lunch.  They are really funny.  At first I thought I would be bummed out that Rhonda wasn't in my 6th period lunch this year but the way things have been going lately with her it's been kind of nice to have other friends to talk to.  Mandy and Kristin and I are talking about going to see "Beauty and the Beast" next weekend.  I'm excited for it!  I loved "The Little Mermaid."  This new one looks really good!

Well, my nails are dry.  Time for bed.  

Till Tomorrow,
