Act 2 Journal Entry

Jealously (your own or someone else's) caused a problem for you.


                 I don't get jealous easily but when I get jealous, I transform into a different person. A person that I'm afriad of. One day, I was having afternoon tea with a friend that I've just met over the summer. She seemed kind on the outside, therefore I opened up to her. She told me some of her secrets, so I decided to tell her mine. I told her the guy that I like, which she knew him as well. He was our mutual friend. But he was my best friend for three years and I was too afraid to ruin our friendship, that's why I've kept it a secret for so long. After I told her, she gave me an awkward smile. I suspected there was something up but didn't say a word. Then three weeks later, one of my girlfriends spotted him and her holding hands in the park. I felt devestated, disappointed and extremely betrayed of both of them! Plans of revenge emerged in my head. I began to check their blogs constantly that it became a stalking habbit. I even followed them to places! My parents became awared of my strange behavior and had "the talk" with me. I realized that didn't have to become an obssesive stalker, but talk to my guy best friend and make sure he knows my heart.
