Dear Diary,
Richie told me he’d take me out in his car one day. I love his car. It’s always so shiny and I watch him when he comes into the school parking lot in the mornings. Can you love someone even though you don’t know them, have never spoken more than a few sentences with them? I think you can.
Peace,
Kay
Dear Diary,
Richie drove me home from school today. I was so anxious that I just sat there. He asked me if he could kiss me. I said no. Not because I didn’t want to but just because I’ve never kissed someone before and I didn’t know how. But I’ve imagined kissing him since then. Every day I imagine him kissing me after driving me home and I say, “See you tomorrow, Richie,” And he says, “See you tomorrow, Kay.”
I think I’m gonna marry him.
Kasey
Dear Diary,
Today is Friday. Today, when Richie drove me home, I let him kiss me. I got very hot for a second and when he stopped, I kissed him and we made out for a while. I can’t wait to see him later. He said he’d wait for me on the corner of Sawyer and Berkshire Rd at 2:30 a.m. and we could drive to the parking lot of the Sanchez Memorial Park.
I don’t think I can sleep tonight.
Kay
Dear Diary,
Richie Glasco is an asshole and I don’t want to see him again. Ever.
Yours truly,
Kasey Byrne
Dear Diary,
I miss him so much. Why do I fall in love with guys who don’t get me. Why do I want to be with them if they don’t really want to be with me.
I’m so ashamed of myself for last night.
Kay
Dear Diary,
I’m getting a car from my dad for my 18th birthday. I think he wants to make up for not seeing me very often. I understand that he’s busy with work all the time. I told him I didn’t need a car but he told me he’s got a friend who has a used car place in Lindenhurst. I’ll meet with him tomorrow to look at them. Maybe I can take it to the beach on Friday for our end of the school year party.
I hope there aren’t any boys I don’t know. I don’t think I can ever trust anyone again.
Kay
