Dear Diary,
It's been a week and some days sense I've talked to Ben. It seems like he really did leave me alone after the one dance we had. I don't know if I'm suppose to feel hurt or relieved. I seen him plenty of times with Issa. Every time they kissed though, my heart felt like it broke more and more.I've felt like a slow turtle moving in the hallway. Just like if I move slow I don't exist. Time stops. Even though I know the world is carrying on with or without me. My friends try and take carry of me, but I just push them away. I love them, but I feel so..... so... broken.
Juna hasn't come home for the pass three days. And some how I don't have the strength to get mad at him. He left a stack of cash on the table the other day along with a note.
" Pay the rent and don't ask questions," it said. He grew up faster then I wanted him to. But what can I do. He won't listen to me. I support him as long as he's not into gangs.
School.... school is going good to have just started. I've passed all my classes with at least a C. In my book that's good enough. The teachers always putting pressure on me to do better, but their wasting time on me. They even talk to behind my back. I mean give me a break the school year just started. Anyway, I'm tired of writing.
Goodnight, Jamie
