0:00.0	When Kira was eight, she kept a diary, and she included a warning on the inside cover.
0:08.4	If you have found the key to my diary, please shut the cover and lock it and write a note that tells me who you are.
0:19.0	But if you don't, I will say this once.
0:22.6	Get out.
0:23.8	This book is Priviate.
0:30.9	Thank you.
0:32.3	And then I wrote my name, but I crossed it out and put the owner of this book.

1:57.5	Dear Diary, Grade 7, brackets, wow. I can't believe I'm going into grade 7. Icaramba.
2:12.1	It sounds so old. I'm a little scared, but excited at the same time. Junior high is

2:30.2	school sports, shaving your legs, he-he, and maybe even boyfriends.
2:44.0	April 10. I had my first date tonight. It was just how I wanted it to be. Mattier and I went to see a movie,
