The website was titled: "The Chronicles of a Teen: Diary Revealed!" Michael's heart did a small flip. He'd tried to bury that diary deep. Now it was online, freely available to anyone who wanted to read it. He leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath.

He began to read. The entries were a cacophony of heartbreak, bad poetry, and unrequited crushes. He shook his head, a smile tugging at his mouth. He'd forgotten how dramatic he was back then.

He'd have to share this. He pulled out his phone, ready to send the link to his closest friends. It was time for a group viewing party. He was so ready.
