《The UnSlut Project》"The Last Day of School."

June 15, 2000
Well, today was the last day of school. There was a graduation ceremony for the 8th graders in the new gym from 8:30-10:30am. Then we signed yearbooks from 10:30-12:15, when we went to lunch. At 12:45, we went back into the new gym for more ceremonious stuff, which lasted until school ended at 2:15.
At the graduation ceremony, each teacher gave out awards to their students who did the best. I received a Certificate of Excellence from the music, theater, science, and algebra teachers, the Middle School Language Arts Award for writing, and a Certificado de Mérito from the Spanish teacher "por su excelente trabajo en español." [Man, I cleaned up at that middle school graduation awards ceremony.] And then everyone received a "Certificate of Award" from the principal for "Completion of Studies."
Anyways, I'm very sad that school's over, but I'm also excited for the summer. The year book is cool, because the 8th graders got to write a little "bio" next to their picture. But we wrote them in February, so they're a little outdated now. Mine says:

Quote: "Right... do your thing." [I guess I wanted people to think I said this a lot.]
Memories: parties, summer99, vids, gr7spn, VSS, LinsCasa, SB, s7 [Parties, summer99, okay... and you lost me. I have no idea what any of those other things mean.]
All in all, I got 69 signatures. Last year I got 70, which is counting stupid ones that just say, "Have a good summer" and nothing personal. I hate those, cause where's the memory there? In 6th grade, I only got 29 signatures because everyone hated me.
High school seems so scary! And there will be so much more responsibility, and... I don't know. I can't do anything except deal with it. Oh, well.

[This concludes the portion of my diary that I'll be posting online. Once I got to high school, I was able to continue focusing on academics, music, performing, and my friendships enough to overcome the reputation of the school "slut." I dated Steven until senior year of high school, when we broke up to go to separate colleges.
I graduated from Harvard University and moved across the country to pursue my dream career. I live with my husband, our baby daughter, and our adorable puppy in California. Life got so much better for me, and it can get better for every girl who is sexually bullied and "slut" shamed.
As of December 29, 2015, an updated, expanded version of this story is now available as a BOOK! You can check it out and purchase it here: http://zestbooks.net/unslut
I'm currently working on my first novel, "Night, Forgotten" and posting as I go here on Wattpad. My goal is to be done by the end of November - check it out and let me know what you think in the comments!
Thanks for reading!

Heather the Necromancer
Heather was a normal girl living in an abnormal world. When the visitors came, they struggled to understand humans and their ways. It was through video games they began to learn, and then they came up with a plan. They created a virtual world of magic and dragons where people could translate and become parts of the game. Through this world, they watched and learned, growing in their understanding of us. She knew little about it, only what came across the occasional tweet or blog post. She knew that people went into the world known as New Eden because they volunteered. She also knew that rarely other people were forcefully drawn in; these were referred to as the chosen. Heather didn’t pay much attention to it all. For most of the world, things went on like they always had. She had classes to attend and boys to tease, and her cell phone was her world. That was until she woke in a forest clearing and realized she had been chosen. Discord Server

Now knowing how much is at stake, Lass agreed to accompany the goddess in her quest to save the world they call their home. But throughout it all...why did it feel like something was missing?
