Dear diary,

Last night, my mom gave me a long talk about what I said last night and told me it was inapropriate. But she also said she was proud of me for calling out Sugar. Anyways, Im running out of paper so this is gonna be the last entry in this diary. All good things come to an end eventualy.

When I got to school this morning, everyone was looking at me weird becuse of what happened last night. Sugar passed by me and said "Thanks for ruining the play, cunt" "IM NOT A CUNT YOU ARE" I yelled back. But then I realized she wasnt worth my time. I got a sticky note out of my backpack and wrote "I dont wanna be in the play anymore. I quit. Give my role to someone else. - Electra" on it. Then I went down to Mr. Atwood's room and put the sticky note on the door. As I walked away, I began to feel releved. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I spent the whole day writing an apology letter to May. After school, I put it in her locker and waited outside. I waited for like 10 minutes. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder, which startled me. I turned around. May was smiling and holding the letter. Then she sat down next to me and hugged me. I began to cry. "IM SO SORRY" I cried. "I knew we were gonna make up eventualy. I never wanted to stop being friends with you, I was just mad at you." she said. "I just wanted to say, thanks for coming to my play last night even though you were mad at me" I said. "Why wouldnt I? Thats what friends do. And Im proud of you for what you did" she said. "Thanks, and Im sorry about your parents" I said. "Its fine" she said. Then suddenly, a group of boys walked past us and one yelled "YEASTY" We both flipped them off.

When they walked away, I turned to May and said "May, how I hate those guys!" "My mom told me boys dont mature til theyre like 30 so" said May. "Also Im kinda over Matthew now, he's a dick. I cant beleve I spent a whole MONTH trying to get with him." I said. May laughed. "This is what makes us girls" she said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "We put love first. When we have a crush on someone, we'd do anything for them. So I can understand where you were coming from." she said. "I guess I got carried away" I said. "We all get carried away sometimes, and we all make mistakes" said May. "Im just glad we're friends" I said. May smiled. "Im glad we're friends too" she said. "Yeah, who needs stupid boys when you have your best friend?" I said. May laughed. "Hey May?" I said. "Yeah?" "Do you think I'll have big boobs someday?" "Maybe." "What if like, 10 years from now Im a bottle blonde with big boobs that's like a super famous singer? We'll see who's laughing then." "No matter if you have big boobs or not, I still think youre really pretty." she said. I smiled. "I think you're pretty too, May." Then we had a long hug after that. I hope Im still friends with May by then (though we probably will be) No matter how bad life gets, I know I'll get through it with May by my side. She's my ride or die. Maybe 7th grade isnt so bad after all!
