wheee. I do this so I can have lines for the quotes.

Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing that I'm most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for, or someone who will care for me.

Nina's Diary Entry

It's Friday, and nothing has gotten better. Things might've even gotten worse.

Let me explain.

When I came into school this morning, I realized rumors weren't just about the diary entry anymore. Rumors were being pinned on me all around; why I wasn't at school, why I'm suddenly so quiet, why I'm seeming to be ignoring everyone. There were obvious answers for all three of the questions, but everyone decided to make their own really bizarre answers.

I could hear my name in multiple conversations as I walked through the busy halls. Some thought I might be planning something evil as revenge, while others thought maybe I was going off the deep end. In a way, I was; this was becoming out of control.

I passed by the Anubis kids, none of which were still my friends. I heard about their opinions of me, and they just believe I ditched so I could ignore the consequences.

I could hardly believe that I used to like these people. All of them turned against me, without even hearing my side of the story. They wouldn't let me come out with the truth.

If this was happening to one of my friends, I would make sure to listen to them, because everything is not what it seems. Just like now. I wouldn't trust another person's word, I would trust them. I would be on my friend's side, I would believe in them. If he or she told me they didn't write what was on the page, then they didn't write it.

But my peers wouldn't let me get even a single word in. They shunned me out of their worlds. They left me out in the dust, all alone, because they believed in the culprit. They believed in Joy. The girl who had hurt me on multiple occasions, and the one who was constantly trying to mess with Fabian and I.

Those times, they were on my side. But now, for some reason, they weren't. Maybe it was because Fabian wasn't here; he wasn't here to tell them they were wrong. But even if he was, maybe he'd be under Joy's spell as well, crossing over to her side instead.

But it just doesn't make sense. Everyone supported me when Joy wrote that article about me, and it was full of facts. I was ditching classes, I was not seeing my Gran enough. But this time, when something was completely full of lies, I was on my own. That didn't even make sense.

I don't know how much longer I can deal with this. Sure, I was bullied at my old school plenty of times, but I had other friends to make up for it. Right now, I have exactly nobody. I can't even count Fabian as someone right now, because I have no idea what he'll think when he comes back on Sunday.

He could easily change to Joy's side. I mean, they were friends longer, and they know each other better. It would make sense if he didn't believe me, but in a way, it also didn't… All I can do is hope he realizes whose wrong, and whose right.

So, that's how Friday went. I can't believe that just last Friday, I was hanging out with everyone at a party, as it was Jerome's birthday. That seemed like such a long time ago. But yet, in reality, it was only a week…
