First day of school

Dear diary,

It feels so weird to write that. Anyways, my name is Mary, Mary Cooper. My mom bought this diary for me for my 15th birthday because she said I needed to "write down my emotions". That's dumb.

Tomorrow is my first day of school. No, I didn't have a summer break. Well, a really long one. I have not been to school in 4 months now. You must think "Wow I wish I had that!". No you don't. There was definitely a reason I didn't go to school for so long. I was scared of what they would say, what they would do, what they would think of me.. I couldn't handle getting stares from everyone, knowing they had seen my body. It all happened 2 months ago, when a guy from school catfished me, and asked me for explicit photos. I had always been insecure, so because he gave me appreciation, I sent them. I hoped he would see what the others didn't. How beautiful I actually am. But all that was a BIG mistake. Before I knew it, I got tons of texts from people I didnt know. They called me cruel names. Soon enough I found out the guy I had been texting was actually one of my bullies. Well, those pictures spread like a wildfire. Everyone had seen them. I locked myself in my room for days. Mom thought it would be best to teach me from home, and obviously I agreed.

But now my parents think it's time for me to go back. This is my last year of high school and they wanted me to try and enjoy it.

I am terrified just THINKING about it. My mom bought me new back to school clothes, hoping it would make me feel better.

So tomorrow I will be wearing my new sweater, it was quite expensive, but my mom thought it was totally worth it and that I would "for sure make friends looking so cool".

Well, I hope thats true.

Anyways, it is currently almost midnight so I need to go to sleep.

I will continue writing tomorrow.

Sleep well!
