"Dear Diary"

Dear Diary, today was awful because my friend Reagan was being bullied and I had no clue what to do to help her. It all started when we were in gym class and to let you know Reagan isn't the most athletic girl in the world. So anyways, we were running ladders and Natasha, a popular athletic girl, started making fun of Reagan by saying stuff like, "Slowpoke", "Get out of my way clumsy". I saw Natasha saying this stuff to Reagan but I didn't say anything because I didn't think that the name calling that she said was bad. All she was saying was slowpoke and stuff like that. Well, let's see if tomorrow is any better, goodnight diary.

Dear Diary, so much for the "let's see if tomorrow is any better." Guess what, the name-calling got worse. Today Natasha was cursing, running into Reagan and knocking down all of her stuff, pushing her into her locker, and more. That's when I stepped in. I thought that Natasha was going way over the line. When we were in athletics I saw Natasha pushing Reagan around. So I walked up and said, "Stop Natasha this is going way over the line now. What has Reagan ever done to you to deserve this?" Natasha then yelled in my face, "You better get out of this because it is none of your business." I couldn't believe that she said that! So when I got enough courage I stepped up to her and said, "It's my business because she is my friend and friends are suppose to stand up for each other." By then Natasha was really mad, she started pushing me around, and calling me names. Did I do the right thing diary?

Dear Diary, so today in the hallway Reagan I were walking together to go to our 3rd period class and along the way Natasha and all of her friends came by and stopped right in front of us. We told them to move and we tried to work our way around them but they kept us from going to our class. I then said, "Natasha please move we are trying to go to class." Then Natasha said that she was going to keep us from going to class so that we would be late. The thing that bothers me is she couldn't be late because she was going to work in the office and the office people always let her get away with being late. So finally, when she let us go we ran to class and still ended up being late. So Reagan and I got detentions! How wonderful.not.

Dear Diary, today Reagan and I went to early morning detention and our mothers were upset with us. I tried to tell my mom that it wasn't our fault but she didn't want to listen to me at that moment. So we went into the detention room and we had to straighten book shelves, vacuum the floors, and then do work. It was terrible and I never want to go to detention again!

Dear Diary, Reagan and I both decided that we had enough of Natasha so we went and told our mothers. They asked us why we didn't tell them earlier and we didn't answer. Now that I think about it I really have no clue why we didn't tell them because it really hurt to be cussed at and to be pushed around. I hated seeing her and was so scared of what she was going to do to me next. If this have had gone on for very much longer I think that I would want to transfer schools because of her. Well, she has stopped now and I like going to school to be with Reagan and not having to worry about Natasha anymore. Thanks diary for being there for me!
