The news broke like a comedy bomb. "My Teenage Diary: Now Online!" Jessica's fingers flew to her face, then she began to shake her head. She was curled up on her bed. She couldn't believe this.

She clicked the link. The first entry was an ode to her pet hamster, Mr. Nibbles. She started to giggle. It was awful, so incredibly awful, and yet… She felt her lips curving into a smile as she scrolled down.

She knew she would be paying for this forever. Still, a grin played across her lips as she imagined her friends' reactions. She picked up her phone and started a group chat, ready for the incoming laughter.
