Dear Diary,

Noooo! Nooooo! Why does this always happen to me? Why am I so unlucky? Today Grace called me early in the morning.

Grace: Hey! Iris. Are you in a good condition?

Me: Yeah. Why? What happened?

Grace: It:s just that I have got a news for you and it's not a pleasant one.

Me: Come on now. Tell me what it is.

Grace: You sure you can handle it?

Me: Yeah I am sure.

Grace: Okay. So listen to me, ....... Carter has a girlfriend.

Me: ................................

Grace: Girl you okay.

Me: Who?

Grace: Umm.... that crazy, psycho witch ..... Sophie.

Me: *Hangs up the phone and starts crying.

I cried so much that my eyes became red and puffy*.

Why? Why? Why? Yesterday I was so happy thinking Carter doesn't have a girlfriend. And ..... and now he is dating right before the day I thought about confessing to him and that to Sophie.

Okay. So Sophie is the diva of our school. She is really popular both inside and outside school. Also her mother is the principal of our school. Her father is the business partner of Carter's father and both of them own a huge furniture company known as "Antique Log". That being said she is crazy. But she is not at all good in studies. Sophie is also a member of our school's cheerleading team. Oh! and did I mention she absolutely detests me and has been bullying me since childhood. Like couldn't Carter date like any other girl in this world. Well still Sophie is rich and of his standard while I am way below that. It's only right that Carter dates a girl like Sophie. Guess I'll just have to forget about him and focus on getting my scholarship. But it's not so easy to do so. I don't know how I am going to face Carter tomorrow. I'll have to avoid him and Sophie. God please don't let me run into them please please please. I don't know how I'll react if I see them together. It's so hard to accept this fact that they are dating.

This is Sophie

By the way, today mom sent to the supermarket to do grocery shopping. I was busy thinking about Carter and Sophie that I didn't notice things around me. And I literally bumped into a boy. We both fell down.

Me: Oh my god! I am so sorry. I didn't mean it.

The boy: No it's okay. Are you fine, Iris.

Me: Yeah. I am fine but do I know you. How come you know my name? ( The boy helped me stand up)

The boy: Oh! That! ummm..... Actually........ I saw someone call you by your name some days back.

Me: Oh! okay. ..... Well then bye.

The boy: Yeah bye.

Well that boy was surely really really wierd. And I really didn't buy his explanation of knowing my name. I really hope that he is not some kind of stalker. But right now I don't have time to worry about those things. Right now I should try forget Carter. Even though I knew I could never be his girlfriend it's so devastating to believe that he has a girlfriend and that too Sophie. Atleast I am hoping that I don't run into them tomorrow and also that I get that scholarship. Otherwise my time at Riverview highschool will be over.
