My body is changing. I can tell now that father has been hiding something from me. I have the ability to do things I have never been able to do before. It scares me. We are not normal, I am not normal. I just know this. He hasn’t told me anything yet but I just know. Tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday and I can feel it, it will be a bad  one. Father is planning a big party in my honor but I don’t feel like celebrating. He says its not up to me to decide if I go or not because so many people are coming from so many different places around the world. I just don’t know. He is so secretive.

Father doesn’t want to talk about it. He says the time will come when I realize it all by myself but the truth is that I need the support. Mother doesn’t know anything. I think. 

Edward has also been acting wired lately. The past few days have been amazing. He shows interest too in his own way. I just don’t understand what is happening. He told me he was fascinated by me and now is nowhere to be seen. Nahima says men are like that but I have never heard of such travesty before. 

I’ll keep you posted.
