Hey Journal,

 Mom gave me to you for my birthday. She thinks it will make it so that I won't spend so much time taking pictures on my camera. I don't really want to, but I'm writing in you to make her happy. I see her right now, staring at me from across the room. I only recieved you 5 minutes ago, but I can already tell I am going to be writing in you regularly, mainly because of the suspicious look I'm recieving. I have to go now, so I can open the rest of my presents. Thats right. I turned 14 today. I'm still in the middle of my family birthday party for me. My best friend, Kylla, dropped by today and gave me her present; a photograph album. The first few pages were filled wtih pictures of us, and and the rest were blank, for me to fill up. I must say, I cried a little. GTG.

I slammed the cover of the journal shut. Ugh. I loved to write, but not what I was SUPPOSED to write. And I knew mom would be snooping in this. Its just her personality, so I have to be super careful.

"Honey, open my present now!" my Grandmother coaxed. She is the best Grandma in the world, and I wouldn't give her up for anything. My mom isn't my role model: she is.

I grabbed the small box that was addressed to me from my Grandma. I tore off the wrapping, and gasped. No. It couldn't be. It was the brand new camera, the Nissan 19th Version. It had extra clear aim, and perfect zoom. These cost a fortune.

"How did you_?" I was stunned.

"I have my ways." My Grandma was almost as happy as I was. Almost. I grabbed her, and hugged her tight around the waist. At 5'3, I was almost towering over her. This was seriously the best present EVER.

Sorry its so short. Its kinda just the introduction. The action will start at about Chapter 4-5. Thanks for reading!
