The Diary of a Teenager

Alia, 13, writes diary entries about her daily life. She is in love with a boy she met on the street and wants to marry him. Her family thinks he's bad news but they can't keep her away from him. One day alia gets a text saying that her boy friend has gotten shot six times. A few weeks later, she wakes up in the middle of the night from a dream where she got n shot herself. The story was inspired by one of the gritty outh radio stories that inspired me to do this work in the first place.
