The other day I came across my teenage diaries. When I was 12/13 it was around the time Bridget Jones Diary was released and I became addicted to the idea of writing a diary so that’s what I did everyday!

I remember the feeling I had when I had a great day and would come home and write what happened and all the gossip that was happening! At the time it meant a lot to have this all written down and it’s funny, even after all these years I still have the same feelings when I read certain stories and cringe a lot a others as well.

I loved school and everything o wrote down still brings back great and even cringeworthy memories!

In this feature I will be writing some of my entries – there will be some I won’t due to embarrassments to me or to others, but there will be a lot that will be written! I mean hey, 5 years of diary entries that’s a lot!!!
Last time, we finished with me not being able to talk to –, a friend asking him out for herself and being nervous.

All names will be changed and some will be named using a symbol system I made back in the day.. anyway you will get the jist!

I sat next to — in lesson again! I spoke to him the first time since being in year 9 today! He asked me about homework and moved my book so he could see something! He’s so nice to speak to again. I’m still quite embarrassed when I talk to him and can’t look him in the eye! I sit next to him because Taylor (she doesn’t like me) told me to move so I had to sit next to him. He’s so sweet.

Our maths teacher asked us who we fancied or who we were going out with! I am so glad he didn’t ask me!! He even wrote them on the computer board! It would of been embarrassing.

Told my friend pat on the bus home when we were with — best friend that he still hasn’t guessed who I fancied correctly. — best friend then kept asking me non stop who it was I liked and eventually guessed — and I admitted it and he went “ew! He’s my best mate! ”
