Journal #1

"Is she mad at me?" I wondered as I sat i my room the day before I left for college. My sister, my best friend, had locked herself in her room and would not talk to me. It was normal for her to do that to our parents, but not to me. I was confused, sad, and angry. I was going to miss her while I was away and she did not want to see me. I spent my day packing and hoping that she would talk to me before I left. I packed, unpacked, and repacked, hoping it would take my mind off her. My attempt miserably failed. I tried to convince myself that she was still sleeping, event though I could hear music coming through my wall. I decided to talk to her, even if she did not want to talk to me. I knocked on her door. She did not answer. I knocked again and again, each time with slightly more force and irritation. When she finally opened her door, i saw that she had tears in her eyes. Guilt began to overwhelm me as hse hugged me with so much force, I was sure I would bruise. She told me that she was in her room becasue she was sad I was leaving, and would not come out beccasue she did not want to make me sad too. I felt so guilty about leaving her the next day, but she understood that I was doing what was best for me, even if what was best for me was six hours away from her.
