Dear Diary,
It's the first day of highschool. Kind of hard to believe that 14 year olds are going to school with legal adults. Middle school was tough, but I heard it's like a fucking jungle out in high school. Everywhere you look there's poison and piranhas waiting to kill you.
I'm not really friends with any of the people I used to be close with; I'm now just mainly friends with Betty Finn. She's nice, but a little bit quiet. We didn't talk much over the summer. I feel bad about that- I shouldn't though. I reached out to her and she never responded.
Now, I don't know if I'm excited or terrified for high school. On one hand, I'll have a ton of new opportunities, but on the other hand....it's high school. I really hope it's not as bad as the media makes it seem.
Always, V.S

Dear Diary,
The first week of school was really hard. I had to learn my way around the school, and the freshman social ladder. That was the worst part. Apparently, there are these 3 girls- all named Heather- that came from the other school here to Westerburg. They're the most popular, pretty, and privileged girls in our grade. And how I know this? They got an entire table to themselves at lunch. I'm pretty sure that's hard to do, unless you have power, unlike me.
My parents keep asking me if there are any boys I like. I say no each time. In fact, does it really matter? The popular guys- the ones on the flag football team in middle school because regular football wasn't offered- are kinda ugly. They're also horny, ugly, sweaty, teenage boys. Why would I like any of them?
Always, V.S

Dear Diary,
I'm starting to think the Heathers may be just as bad as the jocks. But, instead of horny, they just dress up like every day, seducing every boy who looks at them. I wouldn't be surprised if the main Heather isn't a virgin.
Today I learned in Sex Ed that birth control isn't enough, you should use a condom as well. Then, our teacher handed out us some condoms. I still have mine. I'm gonna hide it in my room under my Nancy Drew collection in case I ever need it.
Always, V.S
