The article flashed up on the screen, the headline was: "Emily's Private Thoughts Exposed." The diary, filled with her awkward poetry and teenage dreams, was now open for all to see. Emily felt a searing heat.

She picked up her phone and called her ex-boyfriend, Mark, the one person she suspected of doing this. She yelled, and screamed, and hung up. Then she texted him, with a photo of his car.

She then went on his Facebook page and started posting every awful thing she knew about him, and what everyone thought of him. She started to cry.
