The headline blared: "Public Exposure! Read My Diary." It was hers, alright. Chloe sat at her kitchen table, staring at the screen. She didn't know whether to scream or... well, something else.

She opened the site, and the first entry was about her crush on the new exchange student, Pierre. The details were... vivid. She snorted. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion.

She read on, her eyes darting across the screen. The diary, it turned out, was a surprisingly accurate record of her teenage absurdity. She started typing a comment, and then stopped. This was too good to be ruined by a snarky reply. She laughed and went to grab some popcorn.
