Dear Diary
Got to school today.
Got out of the car.
Saw the crowd.
Went to go see what was going on.
Looked up.
Gawked.
Wow.
Um... wow.
I've heard of running underwear up the flagpole before... but don't they usually take the guy wearing it out of it, first?
Tommy Bunnaraker is naked except for his boxers and a WHOLE lotta duct tape holding him at the top of the flagpole, with big letters on his (shaven?) chest in what looks like black marker that says, "I spread rumors."
The principal came out a few minutes later and ran us all inside.
Well, all of us except Tommy.
Apparently, the official report that Tommy gave was that brownies did it to him. Not the little girls that are too young to be full Girl Scouts, but the elf-fairy things that are supposed to be in Ireland. And that's the story he stuck to.
Hunh.
Boys are strange.

Author's Note:
This is the chapter that I was accused of having plagiarized. I was going to change it, but was talked into not doing so by the very person I was being accused of having committed such an act against. So, if she didn't see anything wrong with my story being similar, why should I care about what other folks think?
So here it is in its unaltered glory.

Such an event... Do things like that REALLY happen? The more I hear of them, the more I realize how sheltered I've been. *sighs*
Folks will gawk though.
Thanks for the interesting episode. It certainly fits the story line you've developed.

Good!
I don't think good story ideas can be plagerized. If it was an unwarranted twist to plug it in, then maybe. But this fits right in.
I love this story. Please continue!
Boys will be girls... if they're lucky!

Never seen it before
Which doesn't mean a thing, there are a lot of stories I don't read. But it seems fine to me. And what you said about all the PM's you got sounds more like harassment than anything else, and that is a no-no, period. Glad you got everything worked out and got it posted.

Plagerism?
Seems like some people don't know what it is. I've read that story as well and although there is some similarities, there are differences as well. Keep up the good works...

Dear Diary Is Back!
Hurray! :)
I'm glad Courtney couldn't stay away. You just can't keep a good girl down -- boys either apparently. ;)
Your author's note says it all by the way. If anyone else complains, they must have some obsessive grudge against you. OCD can be helped people! If this diary entry still bothers you, get help!!
