Dear Journal,
Hi, my name is Afrika Johnson. I started this journal because I have so many things to write about. So many thoughts, so many emotions. I just can't keep them in my head. I absolutely need to write them down. I am 13 years old and I love animals. I think there should be peace on earth, but there isn't.
Dear Journal,
So today wasnt a very peaceful day. I found out news that I did NOT want to hear. My crush, Jake Malloy has a crush on a different girl, of course, it's the prettiest girl in the grade, the most popular. She gets everything she wants. She gets all the boys, the prettiness, the amazing Dancer. She always wins. It just makes me mad, I'm really jealous of her. She has already had a boyfriend! Give another girl a chance! I already lost my other crush to my best friend. I don't want to lose another one! I just hope and hope and hope he will see. Like that taylor swift song, You belong with me. Darn it I gotta go to sleep. Talk to u tomorrow journal! Ttyl xox
Dear journal,
He asked her out today. It was heartbreaking. I stood there at my locker and witnessed it myself. I ran into the bathroom, hoping no one would see me crying. I know it's stupid but I really liked him. I was in almost every class with him, we sit next to each other in history. He didn't know, at least, I don't think he did...
Dear journal,
That girl, I made fun of in 3rd grade, sent me a nasty letter today. She seemed really mad. She threatened to tell jake about my crush on him. She said that if I didn't embarrass myself daily, then she would tell. I was so scared. I didn't embarrass myself today though.... She's gonna tell. She's gonna tell and I know it. Why would she do that? That was 6 or 7 years ago! I can't even believer her right now! Goodness
Dear journal,
She told. She emailed him. He avoided me the whole day. He ignored me. He didn't talk to me during history, or even when we were at lockers. I'm writing to u now because I'm devastated. Why did she do that? And to make it even worse, he told so many other people. It wasn't fun being me today.
