feel lost, and I can’t talk about

       things as twisted as that with my

       friends—they’ll hate me.

      I have to forget this

      nonsense and stick

      with the people who

      love me.

      CLEM …

      Thomas

       is great.

      I know

      that he

      would

      do a

       lot for

      me. Why

      can’t I

       see that?

      CLEM … I GET

       THE FEELING YOU’RE

       AVOIDING ME, AND

       I’D JUST LIKE

       TO KNOW …

      I DIDN’T

       HAVE THE GUTS

      YESTERDAY, BUT …

       UH … I, I LI KE YOU

      A LOT, YOU KNOW,

      AND …

      I’m a girl,

      and girls

       date boys.

      Dear Diary,

      I’ve already told you about

      my disastrous evening

      with Thomas, but I still

      need to talk about it.

      I can’t stop

      thinking about

      what happened

      (and could have

      happened), and I

      like myself less

      and less.

      I didn’t even really want to

      go to his place and even less

      to sleep with him.

      But I’m going out with

      him—that’s what’s supposed

      to happen, isn’t it?

      I feel lost, alone, at the bottom

      of a pit. I don’t know what to do.

      I get the feeling that everything

      I do is unnatural.

      Against

      my nature.

      Why does

      life work for

      other people

      and not for

      me?

      LIFE DOES

      NOT WORK FOR

      EVERYONE ELSE,

      EITHER, MY DEAR

      HEART.

      THANKS …

      THANKS

      YOU KNOW, I CAN LEAVE

      RIGHT AFTER WE EAT IF IT

      BOTHERS YOU IF I
