   Friday September 5th  
  Today I really hope will be good because we just started school today. 
  Nothing will stop me from having a good year (because I don’t think 3 years of middle school will just turn bad all of a sudden) my last birthday my Mom got me a diary.  
  What I was expecting was a Cell phone or something like that, but no all thanks to my sister molly she has been trying to get rid of me. I tried to tell her that if I get a cell phone I’ll be out of the house more often. But she just won’t listen. Our relationship doesn’t work very well. She doesn’t listen to me so I’m forst not to listen to her that’s just how things work in this family. My dad says to deal with it (like sarcastically). My brother is like nice to me on and off its kind of ANNOYING!!! But he isn’t like my sister (luckily).  
  My mom just isn’t any help with my problems sometimes she just says “I don’t care how it happened, I’m finishing it”.  
              Anyways the way I actually get to talk with my friends (because I don’t have a Cell Phone) is my sarcastic dads laptop that’s another thing I want a laptop, but I keep having to wait (my dad’s catch fraze well one of them: Something to look forward to). Well back to school that was a difference saying that hmm, today was a total disaster because all my friends have new cooler friends (as if I’m delightful) so I have to make new friends I hope I don’t end up with only one choice (that’s Melanie she is NUTS!) but there was one girl I could be friends with her name way Bridgett she is really nice to me (did I mention my name is Lilly? Well it is) and is the luckiest person in the world! But I am not just her friend for that I’m not shallow or anything all she has is a cell phone but in some ways I’m the lucky one. Well whatever today’s class was Art like the only class I actually like in the whole school. So yeah I suppose we are already friends now (I think) but I’m glad I made 1 friend (at the least) so I tried inciting her over but she is always in CDC or homework club all the time. It really stinks because my parent “can’t afford that” (well CDC) they say 700$ is a lot of money for the whole year but it does include the summers. But whatever I guess, when I’m a rich and famous actress they won’t be laughing then. 
   Saturday September 5th  
  The best part of starting school on a Friday is you start school then get like 2 days! 
  But the worst part of school this year is my new locker Neibor is the super popular super mean heather Jones she has EVERYONE even the teachers in her little spell. She thinks she owns the school just because her daddy owns a star buck’s branch (which he has to share so it isn’t all that impressive). People just think she is a queen or something, and many CLAIM that they have seen her mansion but I doubt it. I don’t even think she lives in a mansion. She only hangs out with people whose parent or family member owns a store or something like that. But I don’t bother even trying to tell her that my aunt owns 6 hotels. I don’t even care to be her friend at all. She is just snobby!!!!! 
  Telling you about her is one thing showing is another thing so here is my drawling of her (don’t be jealous she is all fake every part of her). I even think she isn’t even her I think she is some type of monster or like a robot or even an alien. But even aliens have better personalities then heather. 
  You see what I mean well enough about her, more about well anything else. Today I was really bored so I went to the school chat room on my dad’s computer there were like only three the first was called popular and pretty the second was boys group and the third was gossip with anyone. So I was forced to either join gossip with anyone or popular girls so I decided popular girls to annoy heather and Stacy and Cindy and all them. 
  Chat room A: 
  Stacy: what is Lilly doing in this chat room? 
  Cindy: no idea  she definitely does not belong here 
  Lilly: you know I can read right, unlike you two 
  Cindy: we can read we aren’t stupid 
  Lilly: yes you are 
  Cindy is typing ……… 
  Heather: well isn’t it the no life looser 
  Lilly: you know the teachers and the principle monitor these chat rooms right? 
  Heather: not tonight my sister is a teacher and she volunteered to “help out” and monitor tonight. 
  Lilly: wow heather you are so rude and a witch 
  Heather: awe thanks your too nice 
  Lilly: why do you even try to be popular >:(  
  Cindy: Lilly I am not stupid 
  Heather: Cindy please! 
  Cindy: what I’m just telling her and an hour earlier this time 
  Heather has left this chat room 
  Cindy has left this chat room 
  Lilly has now left this chat room 
  Stacy: hello? Hello? 
  So that was quit the chat we had. So yeah not really, it was the best we ever had when I didn’t kick out the name calling but never mind that. 
  My life is ruined because of heather my mom found the chat history and didn’t like how I was speaking to heather and I had to say sorry to her at school on Monday. (Thanks a lot heather). I now hate heather more than usual; lucky for her I am practically an adult now so I won’t go down to her low level. But she still annoys me A LOT!!! I will never ever talk to her nicely again and won’t ever say sorry EVER!!! 
  Today Bridgett could come over so we could hang out a little. But if anyone even her found out I actually had a diary I would be TOTTALLY RUINED!!! For life!!!! 
  I was tired when Bridgett came over, but still didn’t fall asleep when she was over. Because then I would be rude (and in trouble with my mom). 
  My experience with dogs well wasn’t really good, I was terrified of them!!!! But Bridgett had 3 and she brought the chiwawa over (I was scared) but didn’t want her to know so I kept it low and didn’t stay too close to her dog. He looked as scared as I was he was shaking and running away from me I almost did the same! 
  Monday September 7th  
  Today at school wasn’t too good because Bridgett had a lunch practice with her cheer squad. I didn’t know where to sit it was embarrassing having to sit alone, then surprisingly Heather invited me to sit with her (I had no idea why) we where enemies weren’t we? She just ate and said I needed a makeover and asked if I wanted to come to the mall with her after school today I didn’t want to be rude so I actually said yes!! I don’t even know why it just seemed like I had to (I was under her spell!)  
  After school I went with her to the mall I wouldn’t help it I think she found out my aunt owns multiple hotels who knows (Cindy and Stacy).  
  We went and I looked like totally different it was like looking at heather or her looking in a mirror or something like that is was kind of cool and scary at the same time.  
  I looked like one of the heathers (that’s Cindy and Stacy) it was freaking me out a little, but eldest we aren’t enemies that much anymore. So I shouldn’t be worrying at all its no problem (I really hope). They have been all nice to me all of the sudden. But I haven’t been worried so they couldn’t call me any names. I’m really nervous though because they have never EVER been nice to me before.  
  I am a total dork!!!! They are just pretending (or so I’m told) the older kids know a lot so it must be true  the sad part is I actually believed them but  if they play me I will have to play them but this time HARD BALL! (I’m keeping the wardrobe they bought me). And my mom thinks it’s real she is always on heathers side in everything! 
  It really sucks for me because if she does something bad it’s my entire fault. So I am just going to avoid her for the rest of my life. (which won’t be hard I have been doing it good so far).  
  Thursday September 11th  
  Today I’m going to stand up to heather give her a taste of her own medicine. And I did and this is what I said “you know you aren’t so cool heather, you are uncool in my GIANT book, and people only like you for your money which isn’t going to last forever”!!! she looked super mad but I felt proud of myself for standing up for myself and telling heather off. 
  Everyone thought I had some guts to tell her off some said I was a dork some where amazed and wanted to be my friend. But I said I know I did a good thing and I don’t need all the glory and I am definitely NOT a dork! And that was that now I had friends (other than Bridgett). I am now the head bee in this school. 
  Friday September 12th  
  Pretty much everyone forgot about yesterday so everything is back to normal in this school I’m still the dorky nerd who loves art and doesn’t have a cell phone. Pretty good week I had. no one thinks I’m amazing anymore, glory goes bye really fast in this school, except for Heather (which sucks! For me) me and heather will NEVER EVER be friends. 
  The 
        End
