Let me put it more clearly, since no one will believe that a thirteen-year-old girl is
completely alone in the world. And I'm not. I have loving parents and a sixteen-year-
old
sister, and there are about thirty people I can call friends. I have a family, loving
aunts and a good home. No, on the surface I seem to have everything, except my
one true friend. All
think about when I'm with friends is having a good time. I can't bring myself to talk about
anything but ordinary everyday things. We don't seemtobe 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're notliable to change. This is
why I've started the diary.
