Dear Diary,
You know what a terrible day I had! All this should not have happened. I feel
bad. Diary, you know how impatient Rohan gets at times. I was working on
my chemistry project during the break. He wanted to play football with me.
I would have loved to join him but the project needed more attention at that
time. The moment I told him to wait, he got angry and started arguing. I too
got impatient and started shouting back at him. I know it would have been
better had I remained calm. But you know Rohan, don't you? I just could not
have completed my project, had I not been firm at that time.
I certainly feel bad for the way things turned out in the afternoon. He is, after
all, my best friend. I am going to his house to play a game of football. I hope
that will have him relaxed and make him cheerful.
