Diary of a 6th Grade Girl #2(5)

I miss him. And I miss not being harassed by some girl that I thought I was friends with. Why does Middle School have to be so complicated? Maybe it’ll get easier later on. I hope it will.





Day 27



Dear Diary,



I got called to the principal’s office today in the middle of lunch. Of course it had to be while I was at lunch, so that everyone could watch me walk out of the cafeteria and wonder what I had done wrong. I could feel all of their eyes on me. And to make matters worse, I ended up being called there at the same time as Kristy. It was humiliating, and the walk to the principal’s office was horrible because Kristy was right next to me the entire way, glaring at me and saying mean things just because she knows it bothers me.

But I just ignored her and went in to the office in silence. When we got there, the secretary told me that we were actually going to see the guidance counselor, and not the principal. They told Kristy and I that we would need to work out our problems before they would let us get back to school.

So, basically, they were forcing us to get along in order to be able to leave the office.

I can’t remember everything that we said back and forth with the guidance counselor watching. Basically though, I told the counselor everything that Kristy has done to me this school year, and then Kristy denied having any part in it. She claimed that it must have been someone else. And then she said that I deserved it, and that if it had been her she would do a lot worse.

After the counselor asked her a few questions, she finally said that she hates my guts because I’m mean, and that I embarrassed her in front of everyone, and didn’t even bother to call her over the summer when I promised that I would.

I sat there for a moment wondering what the heck she was talking about. I haven’t ever embarrassed her or done anything to be mean to her. Even though she’s mean to me, I don’t want to start anything worse. We ended up staying in the guidance counselor’s office for two class periods before Kristy would just smile, say that it was okay, and then fake apologized so that we could get out of there. It was one long, long day.

The guidance counselor finally let us out, and I think that she was happy to. I guess that most people just get out of there within fifteen minutes because they fake an apology or something. Not Kristy though, and I certainly wasn’t going to apologize for something that I’ve never done.





Day 28



Dear Diary,



I came into school today, and everything seemed to be going okay. Then last period, the period before lunch, I went to go and get my science textbook. When I opened it, a note fell out and fluttered down.

At first, I was excited because I knew it had to be a note from Kyle. Then I read it. It just said, “Library during lunch. We need to talk. It’s important.” It wasn’t signed with the “xoxo” at all! There wasn’t anything sweet there, period.

I think the rumor must be true about the other girl. Right now, I’m sitting in Science class, and I have lunch next period. So that means that I’ll have to go to the library as soon as the bell rings. I feel like I’m going to throw up. I don’t want Kyle to break up with me… But what else could a note like that mean??





Day 29



Dear Diary,



I’m really confused; I’m not sure what’s going on right now with anyone. I went in to the library yesterday, like the note had said. I took a seat at my usual table, where Kyle and I will eat lunch together on some days, and I waited. And I waited. It took me about half an hour to give up hope and decide that Kyle wasn’t going to show up.

I stayed in the library a little bit longer, to see if he might show up at the last minute, but the bell rang after I had been sitting at that table for forty five minutes. I couldn’t figure out what was going on, and I’m still confused. I couldn’t imagine why he would put that note in my locker if he wasn’t going to show up. But then I realized that this was one of the days when his club met during lunch, and then I was really confused.

All day, I didn’t see him in the hallways or anything. I’ll also add that I regret skipping lunch before I went to the library—I wanted to be there on time, and I was too nervous to eat anything. As a result, my stomach growled every time the class was silent. It was like it was trying to embarrass me on purpose. But anyway, I kept an eye out for Kyle all day.

Here is where it gets really confusing. When I got home about an hour ago, I was thinking about it. I went and found Anna in her room, on the phone with her boyfriend, and I asked her what she thought that I should do. It took me a while to explain everything, and her boyfriend got to hear most of the situation as well. They both said the same thing: call him. And surprisingly, even though they had been on the phone, they agreed that I needed to use it more than they did. Since we only have one phone in the house, the landline, they gave up their time to talk. It was nice of them.
