The world seemed to vibrate with a new energy. Chloe had been alerted by a comment on the website: "That's definitely Chloe. Her handwriting is so unique!" She clicked on the link. Her diary. The complete thing.

She started to giggle, that bubbly sound that escaped her when she was excited. She saw the first post – a lengthy description of her first broken heart. She laughed again, picturing her teenage self's extreme reactions. Oh, what a fool she had been!

She sent a quick message to her best friend, "OMG, have you seen this?! Prepare to be mortified." Her fingers tapped rhythmically against her desk. She began planning her revenge, which would mostly involve making memes and laughing at the whole debacle.
