December 2 Sharon called about four times today. At least it shows she"s trying to explain something to me. I feel a little better. December 3 This morning Sharon said she had only told one person and didn"t know why everyone seemed to know. Yes, I am an adopted (收养的) daughter. But she had promised to keep it a secret for ever! December 5 I wish I had a friend I could really trust all of the time. I thought I found that friend, but I haven"t and it"s making me miserable (痛苦的)! It"s wrong to tell her all about it. She gains my trust, and then loses it. December 7 I have a nice room, beautiful house and everything I"ve ever wanted. My adoptive parents will give me all the things I"ve ever dreamed of. Yet all the money in the world can"t buy what I want now. I want for Sharon to be my best friend again. December 10 Sharon just called.
