Dear diary,

Today was the worst Valentine's Day of my whole life! So I woke up and went downstairs. Mom had checked the mail so there was a pile of letters on the counter. One stood out, it was pink with my name on it. So I opened it and it said:"Happy Love day! Meet me at Mermaids at 7:00 if you feel the same as I do:)--Dylan"

Dylan omg I had always thought I just had a stupid crush and he would never like me back but there I was holding his love letter to me. I had to go! It took all day to prepare. And I'm not kidding, all day. I wore a short red dress with a loose black cardigan and curled my brown hair.

Then I went. I told the lady when I walked in that I was waiting for someone. But then I thought maybe he'd already sat down and was waiting for me. So I asked her, but she said there wasn't a "Dylan." So I sat in the waiting area for fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes blended into thirty, then an hour, then an hour and a half. Finally I went home, or Annie's rather, and confessed my humiliation. So here I am now sitting in her closet with my computer typing up a stupid diary entry so that I'll never be this stupid again. Really? Did I actually think Dylan liked me?
