-- Chapter 10 -- Hey Diary, there are some weird things that have been going on recently, and since I have no where else to get my thoughts out, I might as well do it here. First of all, I was right about school getting harder. We’re not even halfway into the year, and the homework load is nuts! Thankfully senior year will be better, since I won’t have to fill up my entire schedule with classes and electives and all that. Then there’s Daniel. Remember how I said he was being protective of his phone? Well, he’s even more protective of it now. At first glance, it doesn't seem like a whole lot, but he’s been starting to forget inside jokes too. In fact, he’s been making inside jokes that were never made. It could be an inside joke from his friend group, but something about this whole thing still seems off. I need to talk about Adrian too. I remember when he was so full of life and energy, always making jokes and making my days that much better. But nowadays he’s been so quiet that sometimes I forget he’s there. I know he’s going through something, but I have no idea what it is. It wouldn’t be a diary entry without talking about my mom. She has been so harsh lately. So harsh in fact that there will be days where I stay in my room all day and won’t come out (unless it’s to eat or take a shower of course. Those are necessities). I have no idea what’s going on. Volleyball tryouts are coming up again, and I really want to try and make the team this year. However, with everything that I have to deal with right now, I have no idea if I’ll be able to manage everything at the same time. I’ll write to you again soon diary. I just needed a place to write my current thoughts down. I guess that’s what this thing is for anyway. This will all get better, I know it will.
