Like that wouldn't be super obvious, but-

And again, you're so young.

Yeah, I know.

So I just, here I was thinking he'll never know.

So yeah, he read all of my diary.

He said to me at the time, you know, oh, I really appreciate all the nice things you've said, but I'm going to have to take

this out because, you know, if anyone sees this, I'll get in trouble.

And so he ripped it out and he told me he was going to go burn it or something.

I don't know what happened to it.

Yeah, I mean, it was presented in the trial, but I had schoolwork that also alluded to the fact that I, you know, had this secret relationship, which obviously you can pinpoint that to a date as well.

Yeah.

She opened it after I'd left the school.

So because I left the school the year that we did that assessment, because it was written right at the start of the year and we were meant to open it in the last term and then reflect on it.

Right.

So obviously that just stayed there when I left and that's when she opened it.

And yeah, obviously had a gut feeling.

My friend and I actually have joked that maybe they created that whole time capsule assessment as a way of trying to get me to write things in it.

I certainly had lots of school, people I went to school with that could verify things.

And my mom obviously was able to testify on some stuff as well.

It was a weird thing because it sort of, like, I blinked and the prison sentence was over.
