Hello! My name is Shayann Hendricks. I am in third grade. I moved here (to America) just one year ago. My best friend is J. We became friends in second grade. Last week I found a note in my locker. It was from a boy in my grade, his name is L. This is what the note said: Dear Cheyen, I love you, from L. I didn’t like the note. When I got home I showed my parents. Then I tore the note up in a million tiny pieces. I thought (and still think) that L. is being strange, after all, we are only in third grade. Today he asked me weather or not I like the note, since I didn’t know what to say I said “Yes, Thank you.” Now I am going to try and avoid him. Anyway Diary I have to go and eat my dinner.

Dear diary, sorry I have not written for soooo long, I’ve been sooo bussy. Last week I went to L. and told him to stop writing me notes. I felt sort of bad but, as I said, you shouldn’t think about love till your in college. I’m not christian, I’m actually Indian. I come from Bombay. I have lots of friends there.

It’s raining, it’s dark, it’s cold, and the wind is howling so loud you could think there’s a ghost in the room. My best friend hates me, I might get academic probation next semester, and I’m going to fail at soccer! Yeah, this was not the best day.
My best friend is not really my best friend anymore because I have three new best friends, however, I’m not sure if one of the three just hangs out with me cuz she feels sorry for me or something. I don’t get the feeling she has fun with me. I get the feeling I’m trying to live up to her expectese and failing. Maybe she just said I was her best friend because I said she was mine. That’s the thing, you both have to be best friends to the other person and I think I’m failing on my part.
