- Hey guys, I'm Amber Scholl,
and this is my diary from January 8th, 2003.
- (laughing) Oh lord, this is about to get interesting.
- I was very tragic back then.
- I'm Franny Arrieta,
and today I'm going to be reading from my diary
when I was 12 years old.
- On the inside cover it says, do not read.
None your business.
(pop music)
- Dear Diary,
so basketball starts very soon
and I wanna be the best on the team, LOL.
That is tragic that I wrote LOL.
(laughing)
- Today I woke up late
and I wore a necklace.
I went ice skating.
And my coach was amazed that I remembered my foot work.
- My mom said I can't go ice skating
at Superior this weekend.
She's ruining my life.
Which, by the way, that was ruining my life.
- In the privacy of my own journal, we was
in our own rom com,
living our romantic fantasy
with this white boy.
I'll just text him once more,
depending on how that conversation goes.
Line, pause for dramatics.
I take that back.
I keep my promise to Blake.
I'll stay by you.
- My mom constantly told me I had to get over myself.
Because I was just obsessed with straightening my hair.
And I kept ruining my hair.
And she was like, your hair is literally smoking.
And I was like, I'm gorgeous
and I need you to exit my room.
- So there's this really cute boy in my class
and he's like the best basketball player on the team.
And I was thinking of asking him to just train me.
That's so cringey, ugh.
- Head over heels,
just desperate, lets be honest.
We knew we were desperate.
I wrote it somewhere in this journal.
I was just like, bitch,
we aint got (bleep) else to do.
- Dear Journal,
not much happened today.
Me and Makenzie,
that was my best friend at the time,
were singing songs.
- I was paired with a girl named Mckenzie.
I'm not gonna lie, I was very intimidated.
(laughing)
I love me being intimidated just by the presence of a girl.
That is pretty great.
- Then we made up a dance,
like when you kick your feet
and cross your arms and say,
hey, hey, hey.
I'm assuming that would've been,
(laughing) hey, hey, hey.
(laughing) Something like that.
- My acting has gotten so much better.
I mean, I just did a crying scene as a sociopath.
Oh yeah, when I was a kid and I would do acting classes,
they'd tell me I was really good at crying
and really good at being really creepy.
Which I don't know how that was suppose
to affect me as a kid,
but it's really stressed me out now to think about.
- We played a game
where I was a lion and she was a cheetah.
She told me that when she was little
I was a cheetah.
(laughing) I don't even know what that means.
- OMG, what if he thinks I am a weirdo,
and ugly, and not pretty.
(laughing) Wow, my self confidence sucked.
- I wore a pink dress
that my mom said was too revealing,
so I wore a poncho over it.
(laughing) That's true.
I wore a pink dress with a green, long poncho over it,
because my mom was like, it's too tight.
- I've heard he's actually into one of my friends,
which sucks, but whatever.
Maybe I can win him over with my cool basketball skills.
Well diary, I'll let you know how it goes.
(laughing) And then at the bottom of it, I write,
P.S., he said yes,
and we're training tomorrow.
Maybe he doesn't think I'm that ugly.
- When I was writing these,
I had hair down to here,
I was a little bit overweight
but I didn't really know it,
so I dressed as if I wasn't.
It was very strange.
I started getting acne
and wearing my mom's makeup to cover it.
But my mom is white and I am not,
so you could tell when I had concealer on.
- I would tell my young self,
to not worry about what anyone thinks of you.
And, to keep pursuing your goals and your dreams
because you are going to be just fine.
- If I had a message for 2004 Carly,
I would probably just be like,
girl, chill with the bronzer.
And don't tweeze your eyebrows too much,
'cause then they sometimes don't grow back.
- I didn't really read any romantic novels,
I probably should've just did that
instead of creating my own.
I love the way he looks at me
and his beautiful brown eyes.
We eventually got the message
and were like, wow,
this is really time consuming.
It's not doing anything for my emotional or mental health.
So, let's just step back
and go the (bleep) out there and kick some ass.
- Keep your dreams big, kid.
You're weird, that's for sure.
But keep that,
because it's gonna (laughing),
it's gonna be a smash hit on the internet someday.
