Written by Gary Wernham

At dinner time when I came back to school I went talking to Dean* and Colquhoun*. I noticed Catherine, Joanne* and Sutch* hanging around. Dean said Catherine wants to go out with me I didn’t believe him, but he said when he asked her for me she went red and never said anything against me. Then he said she wants to see me, they kept dragging me towards her but I held onto something. Going home tonight three of them ran up to us, Catherine stayed back a bit but joined them later. Dean went talking to them and he said Catherine does want to go out with me. After I walked home on my own. This feeling inside hurts. If I wasn’t so shy I would talk to her and then would feel better. At dinner Baker* told Catherine I don’t like her coz I told him to on Monday.

Diary of a Lovesick Teenager

Because this is a diary, it was written at the time and at no point are there any exaggerations, lies or anything that may be misleading, it is written with an honest, if naive hand due to the tender age of it’s author. It can be described as funny, a little sad in parts and reflects my thoughts at the time, but most of all it is an honest document that I hope above all will entertain and amuse.
