Dear Diary,

I’ve always felt like an outside observer.

I don’t usually mind, but today, I felt really invisible.

I went into class today and decided that perhaps I don’t fit in after all… I couldn’t find any friends from high school and somehow the teachers didn’t even notice me.

I should be used to it, but I’m not.

Update you later,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

Life has been hectic. My parents are fighting again, and, to top it all off, I joined the popular crowd.

I know, crazy right?

I never thought somebody like me would befriend a bunch of jocks and girls from sororities but here I am.

But I don’t talk that often. Sometimes they don’t even look at me.

Well, anyway, some of the girls are really nice. I’ve already befriended Erica, Hailey, Chloe, and Jill, who is dating Andrew. She makes it very obvious.

Jill and I haven’t spoken much but she seems to complain a lot to the girls about Andrew.

Update you later,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

Sorry for not writing in so long. My sister has been crying a lot and my parents fighting has kept me busy. I’ve decided to come home from college early for winter break. And honestly, I needed it.

However, it was strange because nobody seemed to notice I was home.

Chloe has been talking a lot to Andrew.

I couldn’t say anything. Nobody would hear me.

I feel invisible.

Update you later,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

I am back at my dorm. Christmas was okay, I decided to leave home early— my parents were fighting again over me. I couldn’t understand exactly what was happening, so I ignored them.

Things are getting lonely… Jill always comes to her friends for her problems, but whenever I try to talk to them about my issues, nobody looks at me or even hears.

Jill is fighting again with Andrew. She caught him cheating and was furious.

I simply watched.

Things are escalating quickly. I must admit, I’m a little scared.

Emma.

Dear Diary,

Chloe was flirting with Andrew. And I saw the most absurd thing! I’m really anxious.

Jill got into a big fight with Chloe. And I don’t mean verbal! I mean full on physical fight! Jill threatened to kill her.

I went to tell a teacher on campus, but nobody noticed me.

What is happening?

I’m so so afraid.

Update you soon,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

Chloe has been running for her life. Before she left, she mentioned a murder that was committed on campus in early November.

She told the girls that she suspected Jill was apart of it.

I am hoping to find more information.

Update you soon,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

CHLOE IS DEAD! JILL MURDERED HER!

I couldn’t believe it myself. But when the police caught her, they said the strangest thing.

They said that Jill is going to be arrested for two murders.

Apparently, she was the one who killed that girl in early November.

I’ll give you more information as soon as I find out.

Update you soon,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

When I tried to find out information, the police wouldn’t release it. So we don’t know who Jill killed.

Rumor has it, they killed a very quiet girl. Nobody noticed when she was dead.

I am going to travel to my parents for the weekend. I need some space off campus…

Update you later,

Emma.

Dear Diary,

I came home. Mom said she was going to visit a graveyard. I walked with her, and the entire time it was silent.

When we arrived, she fell on her knees, sobbing.

I looked at the gravestone and saw my name.

I thought it was a joke, but now I remember…

I had flirted with Andrew… I had to pay the price.

I’m not really here. I’m dead.
