Here go 0682168 When Anne starts talking about her love life, things can get a little confusing, especially when it comes to the multiple Peters. Anne has just turned thirteen when we meet her. She has boys on the brain. She tells us, “You’re probably a little surprised to hear me talking about admirers at such a young age” (6/20/1942). There might be a little bragging going on, but Anne does seem to be a guy magnet.

Before she goes into hiding, she has a time-consuming relationship going on with sixteen-year-old Hello (and several handfuls of other guys desiring her company), but is in love, as we find out later, with Peter Schiff (whom Anne also calls “Petel”).

We also find out later that she asked her female friend Jacque if “as proof of [their] friendship [they] could touch each other’s breasts” (1/6/1944 –1st entry). Anne is an innocent girl, but she's super-excited by life and her sexuality.
