Carrie Looks The Other Way

Carrie opened the book, half watching over her shoulder, half peeping in. It’d taken her three days of snooping in her sister’s room to find her diary and finally after so much work she was getting a chance to find out what her sister really thought of Jake, the current trend at school. Running her hand over the faux white leather, she felt goose bumps knowing she was seconds away from finding out what she’d been longing to know for so long.

Did she like him as well?

Though she was in her room, paranoia set in. What if her sister realized her diary was gone? Would she instantly be suspicious of her? Taking no chances she quickly opened the manicured journal and flipped through towards the latest entries.

“Life is shit. Why won’t it just end?”

That wasn’t like her sister at all. Why had she written that? Carrie flipped back and read more. Eyes open wide, she found entry after entry like the first she’d seen.

“Fuck my life.”

She smiled a toothy grin. “At least Jake is mine for the taking.”
