Who Invented High School?

55

Dear Journal,

Today is my birthday! I'm officially 17-years-old. Definitely something I really could care less about. Seventeen doesn't really feel all that exciting anyway, but I'm excited for later today actually. I'm going on a small date with the most popular guy at school! How crazy is that?! Never in a million years would I have ever thought I'd be going on a date with a popular kid. Especially Jung Hoseok who's literally captain of the football team. I'm still kind of confused as to why he's interested in me in the first place. I'm really not that exciting. I'm just a 17-year-old bisexual boy who has assholes for parents, a sick grandmother, and crippling depression. Hopefully it won't go that bad...but I seriously have to tell Jungkook about this. He's literally gonna freak! Oh! Speaking of Jungkook, he literally just texted me at the same time?!
