I can't believe it. I can NOT believe it. The cow. The stupid, stupid, deceitful cow. How dare she lie to me? How can she live with herself? I hate her. I hate her. I REALLY hate her!
I was at her house today so we could study our Spanish - we've got a huge quiz tomorrow. Anyway, we were up in her room, and she went down to get our dinner. I was looking for her notebook, so I could catch up on a lesson I missed, and while I was rummaging around, her diary fell open at THIS page. . .

"Caitie. Caitlin Anne Roth. I hate to have to say this, but she's the worst part of this whole fiasco. I mean, come on! I'm in love with the same person as my best friend for God's sake! Oh, she won't admit it, but I know it's true. I've seen the way she acts around him. The same way I used to with Tyler. The same I do with Jamie now. How horrible. I'm competing with my best friend for a guy who probably wouldn't give a second thought to dating me. I'll break her heart. She thinks I'm perfectly happy with Tyler, anyway. . ."

The cow. She knows how I feel, and yet she's still doing this? How can she do it? She's stringing Tyler along too.
Tyler. God, I know I always seem like I don't like him that much, but to be honest, he's a decent guy. He really loves Val, all you have to do is check out the way he talks to her, looks at her and treats her and you can tell. He doesn't deserve this. I have to tell him. I have to. For his sake.
How's Jamie going to take this? I mean, he's obviously going to find out, seeing as how he works with Val and Tyler. God, I don't even want to imagine it. And not only will it be incredibly awkward, what with all three of them working at the same EMT station, but my friendship with him will be over.
Because it's not like we'll ever go out. It'd be too weird, sort of like kissing my BROTHER. If you've been friends for as long as we have, then you can't date. Then it'd be too weird to hang out together any more. If he knows that I'm in LOVE with him, then how strange would that be? No. Friendship is impossible.
Damn. This is getting complicated. Why in the hell did I have to find Val's diary? Why was I even over here? Why did our spanish teacher have to set a test? If she hadn't, then this study jam would never have happened, and I never would have found Val's diary.
Love is a fickle thing. Everyone says that love is the greatest thing, but love is what is going to destroy mine and Jamie's friendship, break Tyler's heart and is what has already torn my friendship with Val into shreds.
Why bother loving anyone? All it does is end up in heartbreak. Stuff love. And stuff this test. I've got to phone Tyler.
And if Val isn't revealed as the lying, back-stabbing cow that she is, then my name isn't Caitlin Anne Roth.
