Dear diary,

Today I bumped into Mike Underwood. I could tell that he likes me from how he looked at my braces, and said, "Uh, sorry." I just want to touch his fluffy hair and spend all my time with him. Now or later, he will figure out that he's meant for me, and he'll dump that annoying cheerleader, Miss Popularity. Anyway, I just wanted to write to inform you on how my day has been. Mom took me to the orthodontist today. He told me I need headgear!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!! When people see how cool I look, they'll all want some, and than Mike will fall for me. Besides that, it's been a normal day. TTYL.

Jose and Micah burst out laughing. That was the fourth picture someone had posted of Alaina's diary, after taking it. Jose tried holding back tears but he couldn't.

"Everyone will g-get, headgear, because they- they'll see how c-cool I am," he go out, trying to contain his laughter.

"I just want to feel Mike's fluffy hair and spend all my time with him," mocked Micah, falling down in laughter. Alaina was the weirdest girl in school by far, yet she thought she had a chance with the star athlete, class president, and valedictorian, Mike Underwood. Everyone knew it was never going to happen and they made fun of her for it. One day, someone had found her sitting by her locker, writing in a diary.They had taken it, and ran, and ever since, were posting an entry every day, on Instagram. Alaina didn't even show her face at school anymore.

"What's going on?" asked a stern voice. Micah and Jose turned around, to see Principal Heston standing behind them, "I want you in my office right now," he said, spotting what they were looking at. Jose and Micah looked at each other and gulped, then followed him into the office.

It wasn't just Jose and Micah in the principal's office, to their surprise. About ten or twelve other students, some in their grade, some older and younger, stood in the room holding their phones. Some of them looked guilty. Some of them still held back laughter.

Principal Heston spoke up. He was quiet, but firm. "Can anyone explain to me what this 'viral diary' is?"

Awkward silence. Then Micah spoke up. "It's an Instagram account, alainasviraldiary. Every day they post a page from Alaina's diary."

"Yeah, and some of the posts are wild," Jose added. "Like, she writes about her braces and her headgear and she has all these funny weird names for Mike Underwood and Mariah Ross." Miss Popularity, Cheerleading Witch, and his personal favorite, Barbaric Barbie. He burst out laughing all over again thinking of it, which set off all the other kids in the room.

The principal slammed his hands down on the table, quieting everyone down as he said, "How would you feel if someone posted your diaries to the whole school? That's bullying."

"I'd probably be okay with someone reading my diary," whispered Micah to Jose. "I mean, if I had one. I've got nothing to hide." Jose nodded back.

Principal Heston continued. "Did you notice Alaina hasn't been in school in the past four days? Her mother called and said she's locked herself in her room and isn't eating or sleeping. It's not okay to violate someone's privacy like that. Whoever is responsible for this Instagram account will be punished when I find them--and I will find them. So, do any of you have anything to tell me?"

No one spoke up. Even though everyone felt bad for Alaina, none of them were close friends with her--in fact, she didn't have any close friends at all, to their knowledge. No one knew who had taken her diary, and the account itself didn't give any hints about who was behind the scenes. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, the principal allowed them to go back to their classes.

"Poor Alaina," Jose said on the way to third period math. "She isn't eating? Or leaving her room?"

"Jose, I know what we should do," answered Micah. "We should find the diary and get it back to her."
