Dear Journal,
BOYS. I hate them. SO MUCH. One minute, they are leading you on. The next, they lead you into a pile of mud and laugh at you. I hate Juan. I really do. Well, I think I do. I just...can't get over him. Sure, I've liked him for 2-3 weeks. Big deal. I can do it. I can get over him...right?
Ugh. Okay. This is what happened. I was in gym, and he was smiling at me. You know, same old same old. Then in 3rd - 4th period, I told Gilbert to tell Juan that he didn't have to be shy to ask me out, because I would say yes anyways. So of course, Gilbert goes and tells Juan. What does Juan say? "Oh, I don't even want to ask her out." PFFT. If he didn't want to ask me out, he wouldn't have told everyone in the fucking school that he did!
So the rest of the day, I'm like all bummed out and stuff. Fucing mean ass substitute didn't help. And then in 6th period, Juan kept smiling at me. I scowled at him and he frowned. Hahaha. That's what the bitch gets! Okay, maybe I WAS a little mean. But still, he hurt me. He deserved it.
So after that, in 8th period we had our spirit rally. And Ohmygod. On the way there, this bitch ass Franklin has the nerve to keep smacking me with his filthy shirt. So I go and slap him across the face. And you know what? He does it back! Then everyone was like,"Ohh! Juan's girlfriend got slapped!" Pfft.
Franklin is a stupid, racist, sexist bitch. I'm a white/Mexican girl, and he's a black boy. I hate him. Then, in the gym, he starts talking smack about me. So we had a bitch-off. Of course, I won. I always win at those. (Hehehe, they are my specialty.) Yeah, you kinda don't want to piss me off. Because I WILL tear you apart.
Oh boy...what else happened today? Hmm...Well, I'm waiting for Mike to sign on. Maybe I should let him know that we can date again, since Juan DOESN'T want me, like I THOUGHT he did.
I kinda don't want to be with Mike. We have so many fights, it sucks. But, moving on.
Ahh! Steven came today! When I got in the car, I saw him in the front seat! I missed my brother, I did. He isn't spending the night, he's going back home. But my mom made a huge dinner. Twice-baked potatoes, homemade macaroni and cheese and homemade fried chicken. I AM STUFFED. Well, I'm going to go wait for Mike to sign on. IF he ever does. Later!

P.S., I think I still like Juan.
