THE SECRET IN MY DIARY

The Secret in My Diary
At thirteen, my brother's best friend was simply the quiet encouragement in the background of my life-and the only secret written inside the pages of my diary.
For five years, every late-night study session and every goal I chased was fueled by one promise: get into his university, move to his city, and finally stand beside him as an equal.
Then, one careless remark from my brother shattered everything.
He had a girlfriend.
Now eighteen and starting college alone, I've locked my diary away and decided to leave the past where it belongs. No calls. No visits. No more chasing someone who was never mine.
I have a new college, new friends, and a new life to build.
Until a chance encounter on a crowded street brings him back into my world.
Except I'm not the same girl he remembers.
I'm distant. Polite. Cold.
And when he tries to find his way back into my life, I realize something terrifying-
Some secrets are easier to write in a diary than they are to forget.
