Diary of a 6th Grade Girl #2(4)
I’ve never ridden to school on the bus with anyone else before. Actually, I don’t think that I even know any of the other kids on my bus now. So it will be really cool to get to go in with Sharon. It’s a lot of fun just having her here.
I have to go now, she got mad at me because she thought I was doing my essay, but she found out that I was writing in my diary instead! She is all business, and does not like to take any time for a break, so she expects me to get everything done as fast as I can as well… Usually, I just do whatever I feel like, and as long as it’s done before I go to sleep, that’s okay. But I like Sharon, so I’ll do what she says. I’ll finish this entry up later.
Day 24 continued
Dear Diary,
Sharon just fell asleep. She goes to sleep at nine o’clock every night on the week days, but she’ll stay up later on weekends. I always stay up until ten o’clock or ten thirty, so I’m not tired yet. I figured that this was a good chance to finish my entry from earlier.
We had a fight earlier because she doesn’t think that I’m dedicated to my school work or anything important. But she does all sorts of stuff—her parents make her be very involved, so that she doesn’t have a minute to spare. I told her that I think she’s just jealous that I can do whatever I think is right for me, and I’m not forced into anything. I wasn’t trying to be mean, I was actually trying to calm her down, but that didn’t work out so well.
I’ve also noticed that she gets upset if I mention Kyle. I think that she’s a bit jealous of that too, because I have a boyfriend and her parents don’t even allow her to talk to boys. I didn’t say anything about that to her, because I don’t want to hurt her feelings.
I don’t like fighting with her, because she’s my best friend. I just hope that we make up tomorrow. Maybe a full night’s sleep will help calm her down, and she won’t be so upset when she wakes up. I just want to make absolutely sure that she’s okay, and that we can still be friends. I don’t know what I would do if we were friends anymore. I have other friends at our lunch table, but I think that Sharon is my best friend ever.
Really, I wasn’t saying anything to be mean. I was just being honest! I’ll apologize and explain myself tomorrow… Wish me luck. I’m going to bed now.
Day 25
Dear, Diary
Right now, I’m in homeroom. I don’t really have long to write, because the bell is going to ring soon. I just wanted to say that Sharon and I made up. It’s all better now, she’s just too stressed out with everything that she has to do. And she did admit that she’s a bit jealous of me. I told her I’m jealous of her too, because she’s smart and gets good grades all the time. But I’m much happier just to be me.
But you won’t guess what happened this morning. I came in to school and put my stuff in my locker. I forgot to lock it because I had to go down to the principal’s office to hand in a slip from my mom. When I came back, my locker door was open and my stuff was everywhere. I’m not sure if anything was taken, but it was still horrible. I don’t know if I should go to the principal about this.
I’m going to talk to the people at my lunch table and see what they think. But I have a pretty good idea who did this. Kristy just can’t leave me alone, can she? What is her problem?
Day 26
Dear Diary,
I did end up going to the principal. I wasn’t going to, because I don’t really want to stir up any problems with Kristy, and make things worse.
The only reason I did end up going is because I mentioned it to Anna. I figured she could give me some advice on it, since she’s older and ‘wiser’ than I am. She went straight to mom without giving me any advice, and my mom freaked out. She called the principle right away.
I had to go in and talk to him this morning. He understood about it and said that he was sorry I had to go through that, and then he promised me that it’s going to be worked out as quickly as possible.
I’m not entirely sure if I believe that or not. Kristy isn’t the kind to stop bothering me just because someone tells her to. Oh well, if it works then it works I guess. If not, I’ll figure out another way. I mean, she has to get tired of it eventually, right?
I don’t know anymore. This whole thing stresses me out, and I heard a rumor today that Kyle went on a date with another girl. I don’t understand that. But I haven’t seen him very much lately, only when he’s walking me to classes. He hasn’t been at lunch because he joined some new club that meets during lunch times.
