"I have a really really big crush on my next door neighbor, and I write about him in my diary almost every single night. One day I decided I wanted to write him a letter to tell him how I felt. It was such a good letter and it took me so long to get it just right. I went to school the next morning and came home to find the letter was gone! I thought I had lost the letter until I heard my brother and his friends laughing really hard downstairs in the kitchen. I walked downstairs and found my brother, his friends, and my neighbor all reading my letter out loud and laughing about it! I was so angry and embarrassed I ran straight upstairs and cried all night."
