Tonight is Christmas Eve. My best friend Sam is stuck at a family party being held at her house, so we can't hang out. She is always there for me and vise versa, but tonight she just couldn't get out of the yearly family gathering. She said she had a brilliant present for me, and I have one for her, but I can't imagine what she could possibly have gotten me because she doesn't have that big of an allowance. Actually, now that I think about it, I think I have seen her delivering papers and shoveling snow for extra money, even though a six year old doesn't need that much money anyway. From all the work she has been doing, she is probably the richest six year old in the whole town. Because of the family party, I probably won't be able to see her until tomorrow.
My parents and older siblings have been acting very odd lately. They have looked so scared every morning after watching to news on tv. Something apparently has been happening that has to do with a group of very skilled people that have been releasing weird things called gaseous chemicals into people's houses and giving them boo boos that they don't wake up from. My mommy says that if I see the bad people with dark cloaks that I need to run as fast as my little legs can carry me. Which is pretty fast considering I'm different from other girls and boys. I don't understand what they mean when they tell me about it, so I just don't listen anymore. It is all so confusing, I just don't understand.
