Dear Diary,
Well I bought this diary on a whim. I don't know why I did it, I'm not really the type of girl to keep a diary. I suppose I just wanted somewhere to let it all out. There are things that I just couldn't tell my brother even if I wanted to. Well I guess since this is a diary I should at least talk about myself at first.
My name is Michelle Bender. I'm 15 and a freshman at Shermer high school in Shermer, Illinois. I have an older brother named John, he's a year older then me. I guess we are kind of alike. We both have attitudes. Except with me it can take a lot to get me pissed off. John has a horrible temper. Another thing that we have in common is our parents, they treat us both the same. John has friends, but I don't really. I'm a loner I guess. I have a few but they aren't even that great of friends and we don't hang out a lot. Oh yeah, and another similarity we have is that Vernon, the principal of our school, hates us. I don't know why he hates me I keep out of his way. Oh wait a minute, its because John is my brother. Vernon tries to nail me for everything he can. Which of course means I have yet another Saturday detention. I guess I'm used to it by now. I don't get as many as John does though. There are two good things that come out of Saturday detention for me though. I get out of the house and I get to spend time with my older brother. Even though we're different he is my best friend. I don't think he knows this, maybe he does but who cares. John is the only person who cares about me. Even though he doesn't always show it, I know he does. Its like even though I don't show it I wish I had more friends. Now don't get me wrong I don't want to be one of those popular princess girls. I would rather kill myself then have that happen. I just want a few close friends who I can talk to and go out places with.
You know, I'm not normally this emotional. I normally have this screw the world attitude to show people, especially Vernon. Vernon is probably one of the only people I'll stand up to. Which is weird because I won't even stand up to my parents. I guess its because Vernon treats me like trash because of my brother. I mean I barely do anything wrong. Okay so maybe that's an understatement. I do a fair share of things that others wouldn't do. I'm got this detention because I got in a fight with a girl. Somehow she found out that John was my brother and started saying crap to me. I just lost it, no one trash talks my brother to me and gets away with it. Actually not many people know that we are related. Its easier for us if people don't know we're brother and sister. If they did they would know how to hurt us. It even surprises me sometimes how if one of John's friends says something about me when I'm around he tells him off. I know that people say a lot of things about me. I don't care and I don't blame them. I think they should find a better use of their time, but I don't blame them. I blame myself. Its my fault that people think I'm psycho and weird and all of that stuff. I know it is because the only time I talk at school is if I get into a fight about my brother or something else. There are only two things that will make me mad enough to fight. If someone calls me a slut or a whore, or if someone talks about my brother. I am a laid back person. The few people who I hang out with know that. Well I should go to bed I guess. Another fun detention tomorrow.
