“How could they?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. Her throat felt tight, constricted. The published diary entry, with its embarrassing crushes and dramatic declarations, had gone viral. She felt like a bug pinned to a specimen board.

By evening, she was exhausted from the onslaught of emotion.
