To Read or Not to Read

Ben left the cheerleader's locker room with the diary in hand. Even though he took it, he was still struggling with the idea to open the book and read it. This is Winter's most deep personal thoughts after all. As Ben was pondering, he looked up from the cover and spotted Alex walking by himself. Ben shoved the book into his backpack as he caught up to Alex.

“Hey, you okay?”

Alex sighed, “It’s just been a long day.”

“Was Dan giving you trouble?”

“Yeah, I punched him in the face since he called Abigail damaged goods, but because of that both myself and Dan had to do triple the usual amount for our workout for the rest of the week. Today, we were sent home to cool off.”

“I see so that’s what got you down and why you’re leaving so early.”

“I may have said a few hurtful things, but I can’t believe Dan would stoop so low as to insulting Abigail. He wasn’t like this before. He used to be much nicer and while he was a bit arrogant, it wasn’t nearly as much as what it is now. Even though I’m still furious at what he said, I wonder what happened to him to cause this change.”

“I don’t have the answers, but I’m sure that things will get better. Besides, I’m sure that if Abigail was here, she’d tell you not to worry about her either. We both know how strong she is.”

“You’re right. Thanks.”

Alex fist-bumped me as he headed back home with more energy and purpose. Ben thought about using the watch to instantly solve Alex’s problem, but he wanted to make a point not to interfere with Alex’s life as much as he could. Deciding what to change for him would be wrong no matter what his intentions were. However, almost everyone else was fair game. Ben looked at his backpack and muttered, “Yes, fair game.”

Ben walked back to his own house and was met with silence as usual. His aunt was gone once again leaving the house entirely to himself. Ben could probably invite Jess to live with him, and aunt wouldn’t even know as long as she was careful. Today, Ben welcomed the silence as he went up to his room and sat at his desk. Instead of taking out homework, he took out Winter’s diary and opened it up. The book’s entries started at the beginning of the school year until now. Ben spent the next hour and a half reading all the entries inside of the book. From reading the book, Ben learned many new things about Winter. Her likes, dislikes, hobbies, and other personal information that she wouldn’t reveal to normal people. Ben felt a little dirty after reading it, but he also learned something crucial. It is without a doubt that Winter likes Dan. He almost couldn’t believe it even though he read it himself. However, the way Winter describes him in this book is nothing like how Alex has described him. He seems like a knight in shining armor with his interactions with her. Is this what Alex means when he talked about him being nicer or is it just Winter’s warped perception of Dan? Either way, Dan would be right when he says that eventually, Winter would come to him. Ben didn’t like this though, because he honestly doesn’t like Dan and wants to prove him wrong. Ben decided to use this book to change things. Ben changed his watch to the baby setting and said, “It’s normal that whatever is written or changed in this notebook by myself in regards to the events, feelings, thoughts, and memories in Winter’s life will change to be true.”

Now let's find that first meeting between Winter and Dan and rewrite reality.

Diary entry 03

The first few days of my senior year were met with unfortunate events one after another. It wasn’t anything major it was a bunch of little things like forgetting my homework, waking up late, or slipping in the hallway on my way to class. I was very annoyed and didn’t want to be bothered, but of course, fate had to push another problem my way in the form of a pervert (later learned his name was Brad). He tried sneakily coping a feel of my ass in the hallway before trying to make his escape. I was about to go off on the man when Dan made his appearance and kept the man from escaping. I slapped the man and hurled insult after insult at him. I don’t remember exactly what I said but let’s just say that no woman in 50 miles doesn’t know who this man is and what he did. I looked toward Dan and gave my thanks to him. He waved it off and told me that he couldn’t stand such a blatant act of **** on a woman as beautiful as myself. After the events of today, I felt happy that he stood up for me and wanted to get to know me better. I guess only time will tell.

Yeah, this entry is what started her crush in the first place. Now to change the situation for the better. Maybe I should change Dan into the pervert instead, that would be pretty funny, but reality would drastically change if that happened and who knows what parts of my life it would affect. It's better to change as little as possible in terms of the participants if I can help it. Sorry Brad, no changing your fate.

A few pointed but essential changes to the first entry I wanted to change. It’s a little weird but Ben remembered the event that happened if he thought about it. Now, let's change the next one.

Diary Entry 37

The cheerleading coach, Linda, picked me as the cheerleading captain. The whole team celebrated together on campus and had a massive party. While we were there, we talked about the football team and if there was anybody with a crush on its members. My teammates would talk about various little details about the members and their experiences with them. I know that some of them spoke very highly of Alex and Jim specifically. Talking about how they were handsome, strong, and dreamy. The one I was most interested in hearing about was the man who helped me out before, Dan. The conversation eventually shifted to Dan describing him as the kind, overconfident star of the football team. My interest in him grew even more and thought that he was worth keeping an eye on.

My teammates would talk about various little details about the members and their experiences with them. I know that some of them spoke very highly of Alex and Jim specifically. Talking about how they were handsome, strong, and dreamy, but I was uninterested in them. The only person I wanted to hear about was Ben, and I knew that he was more handsome, strong, kind, and intelligent than all the football members combined. The conversation eventually shifted to Dan describing him as the ugly, selfish, and overconfident star of the football team. The little interest I had in him hit rock bottom while my interest in Ben grew even more and thought that he was worth keeping a special eye on.

Diary Entry 56

Nothing particularly interesting happened today at school. However, I noticed that my bra was really tight on my breasts. I think I’m going to have to get the next size up from a C to D. I think that I may as well buy some new underwear to complete the set. Maybe a should take Bethany with me as well since she’s been dying to try on some “scandalous underwear” at the mall.

Nothing particularly interesting happened today at school. However, I noticed that my bra was really tight on my breasts. I think I’m going to have to get the next size up from D to DD. I think that I may as well buy some new underwear to complete the set. My waist has slimmed down a bit and my hips have expanded as well. Maybe a should take Bethany with me as well since she’s been dying to try on some “scandalous underwear” at the mall. For now, I might as well keep up my daily masturbation sessions thinking about the love of my life Ben and how amazing he is.

Diary Entry 78

I had fun at the party with my friends even though the punch was spiked with something strange that turned the girls into animal girls and the guys into girls. I was lucky with cat features, but others such as Leslie were not with pig features. I didn’t manage to find Dan though which was unfortunate but it sure was a night I won’t forget.

I had fun at the party with my friends even though the punch was spiked with something strange that turned the girls into animal girls and the guys into girls. I was lucky with cat features, but others such as Leslie were not with pig features. I can’t believe I managed to find Ben and work up the courage to talk to him. He always looked fantastic, and he seems to look even better every time I see him. I didn’t get to talk to him long when his date showed up. Makes sense why someone as awesome as Ben would have a date, but I’ll show him that I’m so much better and that I should be his girlfriend. This event will fuel me in my desire to ask him out, and I’ll make sure it’ll be a night that he won’t forget.

Diary Entry 80

I can’t believe that I actually got pink panties when I confess my love for Dan and ask him out on a date. I even got two movie tickets to Red Widow on Friday. After practice, I’ll find him alone and confess my feelings to him. I’ve heard how Dan is being made out to be some rotten jerk, but I know that he is better than what everyone says. Bethany has some mixed feelings about the whole affair, but I’m sure she’s just mistaken as well. I know for sure that my love isn’t blind.

I can’t believe that I actually got pink panties when I confess my love for Ben and ask him out on a date. I even got two movie tickets to Red Widow on Friday. After school, I’ll find him alone and confess my feelings to him. Ben is such a wonderful guy, and I’m positive that no one knows how much I love him. I’m going to make this date a success and do whatever it takes to make him happy. When he isn’t happy, I’m not happy.
