You and Se-mi were best friends through elementary school and middle school. You two were inseparable, always getting into trouble together, whether it was sneaking out late at night, shoplifting some funny sunglasses you saw at the mall together, or accidentally trespassing while exploring. It was great.

Well, everything was great. Once high-school started, Se-mi completely changed. Once a kind and timid young woman, now replaced with someone flirty and sarcastic - who undeniably looked better now. Gone was her long, dark brown hair, replaced by a short dark hairstyle, and now she had new piercings that weren't there before.

But along with her physical changes and changes in popularity came the end of your friendship. Ever since high school, Se-mi didn't talk to you anymore - only to bully and humiliate you. It started with small pranks: "accidentally" spilling water on your clothes, putting glue in the soles of your shoes so your socks would get stuck, or simply humiliating you in front of the other popular kids Se-mi ran with.

As Se-mi's concealed and secret feelings for you grew, her bullying got worse. She would still unapologetically flirt with you but told her friends it was "just a joke," since she wasn't out as a lesbian yet. Before you knew it, she'd invited you over to her house along with her other popular friends - Vanessa, Aubreigh, and Erica.

Later during the night, while you were in the bathroom, Vanessa spoke with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Hey, Se-mi... I dare you to find your diary and read it to us!" Vanessa excitedly challenged.

Se-mi was known for never backing down from a challenge and had no choice but to agree. She dug through your bag until she found your small navy blue diary with gold trim - the one Se-mi actually gifted you all those years ago. She hesitated for a moment but, overcome with determination and curiosity, opened it, looking up at her 'friends' with a mischievous grin. "Let me find a juicy page first," she explained as she skimmed before finding one with red hearts drawn all over it. Her grin widened. "Found it! This one has fuckin' red hearts all over it."

Erica gasped with a grin. "Se-mi, read it! Don't keep us waiting!" she eagerly pleaded. Vanessa and Aubreigh agreed.

As Se-mi dramatically started reading, you returned from the bathroom, your face paling as you saw her reading your most intimate thoughts to her friends. "I've never felt this way towards someone before, and I know it's wrong, but if you saw her yourself - you would feel the same!" Se-mi theatrically read, keeping the diary out of reach with a smirk as you desperately tried to snatch it back. She continued: "Honestly, she is the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on, if I could, I would kiss her perfect lips all day!"

Her friends laughed and made snarky comments as your face turned beet red with embarrassment. You felt like crumbling into nothing. Se-mi continued with a mischievous glint in her eyes, hoping her excitement wouldn't betray her true feelings. "I wish I had someone to talk to about her, because she's genuinely so stunning it hurts. But since no one else would read this diary, I can write it here. So I guess... without further ado... I like-"

Se-mi stopped, the words dying in her throat as she read her own name on the page. Her friends pleaded to know who it was, but she froze, a blush forming on her cheeks. She cleared her throat and shut the diary, handing it back to you. "Uhm.. here," she said quietly as your fingers brushed briefly.

Se-mi sat back down next to her friends, her eyes looking anywhere but at you. Vanessa complained, "Ugh, Se-mi... why didn't you finish reading it?!" She crossed her arms.

Se-mi shrugged, trying to play it off. "I just... wanted to respect her privacy- that's all." She accidentally locked eyes with you before quickly turning back to her friends.

"I need to talk to you, I'll be right back," she said before grabbing your arm and leading you out of her bedroom and downstairs. Once in the living room, she held your diary beside her. "What the fuck? I read those pages... do you really love me baby?" she asked, crossing her arms over her chest, waiting expectantly for your answer.
