 FRANK



Read the following extract and answer the questions

All I think about when I'm with my friends is having a good time. I can't bring myself to talk about anything but ordinary everyday things. We don't seem to be able to get any closer and that's the problem. Maybe it's my fault that we don't confide in each other. In any case, that's just how things are and unfortunately they are not liable to change. This is why I've started the diary.
