Dear Diary
Ellen struggles to survive all of the difficulties that keep throwing themself at her
Dear diary,
my mother is still heartbroken from the divorce and there's nothing I can do. She
spends hours crying. Today at school was SO embarrassing. My little brother told everyone I was afraid of the dark, and they laughed their heads off! I don't care if it's true, it's still embarrassing. And to add on to that, my boyfriend, Ben, dumped me for Angelina Jenson. Can this get any worse? Atleast I got an A- on
my exam that I thought I was sure to fail. I hope tomorrow is better,
Ellen
"Mom!"
"What?" she sniffs
"Can you drive me to Annie's house?" I ask
"Honey, didn't you hear? Annie moved to Oregon. That's why she wasn't at school."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!" I burst into tears.
"I'm so sorry sweety. I thought you knew." She starts to sniffle.
"NO! I DIDN'T!" I stomp into my room and slam the door. I lay down on my matress and cry myself to sleep. She had no right keeping this from me! I dream about a life without Annie. When I wake up, I feel stiff and hurt. I decided to call Jen. I dial her number, but I go to voicemail. "It's Ellen. Call me when you get this, bye." I slump on the couch. My mom yells "Time for school!" and I walk
into the kitchen. I eat my cereal glumly. When I go outside, I realize I missed the bus. I can walk there, it just takes longer. When I'm almost there, I trip on a tree root and fall into the mud, staining my brand new silk skirt. I ignore it and walk into the building, wiping mud from my face. I see Ben walking towards me and feel a flash of anger. He says loud enough for everyone to hear "You know, your skirt is ripped up in the back and everyone can see your underwear." He then laughs and my face turns red when everybody looks. I feel tears welling up in my eyes and I run into the bathroom, and start sobbing. What did I ever do to him? I tie my jacket around my skirt and walk out, my eye shadow smeared. Everyone laughs at me and I keep my head down. I walk to my locker and I realize that the locker is jammed. There's a note taped to the door that says "Haha you lose. -Ben" UGH I HATE HIM! But how did he jam my locker... oh wait. I gave him the combo when we were dating. I really want to scream right now! I go to English, but I don't have my supplies. I tell the teacher that my locker was jammed and I couldn't open it. She thought those were just excuses and she also heard from Ben that I had bullied a freshman and she sent me to the chair in the corner. BEN! Every person that I've ever seen sit there ended up getting extremely humiliated in front of the class. I sat down. I saw the vice principal come in and the teacher talked to him. He walked towards
me and told me to follow him. He walked to my locker and when I told him the combination, he somehow opened in. He told me to grab everything in my locker
and go back to class, so I did. I got back and the teacher told me to wait at the front of the class. When she got everyone to stop talking, she told me to hand over my bag. She rummaged through the stuff for awhile and pulled out my diary. "This is what Ellen gets for excuses and bullying." she said to the class.
I saw a smile on Ben's face. She opened to the page I had bookmarked and started reading. "Dear diary, I absolutely hate my English teacher! She's so strict. Especially since I have dislexia and I'm failing. I would DIE if anyone found out. It's so embarrassing! And Ben is still driving me nuts since he dumped me. I don't get why. Well, that's all for today, Ellen." Everyone burst out laughing and I felt my face turn red. Yes, things can get worse.
