Why does she hate her so?

Dear Diary,

Sam here. Duh, who else would be writing I'm my diary? So, Paulina Sanchez, the object of Danny's desire. Now before you say anything, I already know that women aren't objects. In this case however, Paulina isn't even human! I mean that shallow witch is just... Ugh! I hate her! No, not because she's the one that catches Danny's eye, (although it is in the top three) not because she ignores me, not because she calls me names when she isn't ignoring me.

So, why do I hate that cow so much? No wait, I just insulted a cow. That black hole was my best friend from preschool, up until fifth grade. Yeah, that's right. We were best friends. We both wore cute little dresses, pigtails, we were always dressed the same, day or night. We went butterfly catching, had sleepovers, we were like sisters. But one thing changed in sixth grade. And what happened in sixth grade? I was beaten up on the sidewalk outside of school by her cousin.

You know the saying 'blood is thicker than water?' Well, she basically proved that to me. She turned her back on me and sided with her cousin, not wanting to get her in trouble. But, I had seen the remorse in her eyes that day. I knew it hurt her to pick her cousin over me, but her family expected her to always side with family when it came down to it. She never did like disappointing her family, because if she did, she was given the cold shoulder. I wonder of it's still like that for her, and that's why we never became friends again.

After the incident at school, we stopped dressing alike. That's when I adopted my gothic look and dark (for the most part) outlook on life. She began to pretend she didn't like me, and eventually, it wasn't an act anymore. We stopped hanging out, and that's when I met Danny. I guess in a way, I should thank Paulina. She was my best friend, but that lead me to Tucker and Danny. She knows I'm happy with my friends, and I know she's happy with hers. But since that awful day, she became increasingly intolerable. It started with small comment, which gradually grew into name calling, which sometimes grew into physical injuries.

Danny had stood up against her for me a few times. He didn't like her at first, which is weird since that's when she was nicer. After a couple years she grew in him, now he has a puppy dog crush on her.

Okay, so I guess the 'Danny liking Paulina' thing is the second reason on my list. It's just... SHE'S SO INFURIATING. Why does he like her anyway? Because she's pretty? I don't really know what to think. I just know I don't like her anymore. She's crossed over, never to return. I use to wonder, 'will I ever get my sister back?' Well, after all the years of torture I went through, I have an answer. No. I won't. Her cousin took that away from me. But I have Danny and Tucker, so it's okay. We're all happy with the outcome. Well, Tucker isn't, but no one cares what he thinks.

- Until next time, Sam E. Manson
