Dear Diary, 

                   You wouldn't believe what happened yesterday!! It had been a crazy day. We went to a Restorative Justice meeting to get the justice I deserve and punish her. I have never been so happy... she said sorry to me!! She promised that she would never bother me again or her friends. It made me feel better. Her parents were sorry too. They were so ashamed that they had raised a bully. The meeting was finally over and we were heading to our car and I saw here walking towards us, crying. She said sorry again. She told me that she regretted everything she did to me. I was so confused- why had she approached me?  I asked her why? It was so awkward. She told me that she is getting kicked out of school and they're moving into a new house. She also told me that I need to be happy now that she's gone. I felt bad because I'm happy and she is sad. I hugged her and got in the car and left for lunch feeling relieved.
