Friday July 17

Dear Diary,
So I found this old journal in my bookcase the other day. I guess it was just another one of those gifts from my mother. I guess its about time I started a diary ( like every other teenage girl in the movies). So here I am in my bedroom on a hot sticky day in July. What the heck do you even write in a Diary? I suppose I'll just start off with my name. My name is Scarlett. Scarlett Winters. Kinda sounds like a horror movie, my name. Like something that was supposed to be beautiful, like snow sparkling from the reflection of the sun, but instead its like, well you know. Its kinda like my life. Beautiful but made horrible throughout the years. My parents are happy, or act happy for my siblings and me. I have an older brother , Ben and an Older sister, Alexis. They are both a pain in the butt. But of course, them being older that makes me the youngest. Always getting teased on and pushed around by the other two. Growing up hasn't been a picnic. Im 16 years old now, so they are both away at college, spending all our parents money. Seriously, the way they spend money, I'm scared they aren't going to have any money left when I go to college. But I suppose it will turn out okay. On a better subject I'm pretty sure i inherited some good traits from my parents. I have blue eyes, and curly blond hair, in which I dip dye red, because it suits my name. Im a little on the shorter side, but thats never bothered me. There's only one problem with me; I've never been in love. I have friends and best friends, they are not ideal, but they are great. I just have never felt that true connection with somebody. I have dated like 2 guys, but they were mistakes and never should have happened. I never felt anything with them. Most people fall in love before they reach the age of 16 right? Well I guess Im different.
Well today was a Friday, so my mother agreed to take me shoe shopping. I got a new pair of Vans, grey ones with little white flowers on them, and a pair of flip flops, purple galaxy ones. But other than that it was kind of a boring summer day. Summers almost over and I haven't done anything fun yet. I've seen some movies, gone out with some friends, and I've been to the pool a few times, but I haven't done anything bucket list worthy. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe someday. Who knows?
Sincerely, Scarlett :)
