Monday, 13th of September..

Dear Diary,
It's the beginning of a new semester for me in the 11th grade in High School. Can't wait to get this day over with.
I woke up by 6.30am, brushed my teeth, had my bath and picked out an outfit that showed that I wasn't interested in school. One more year and this would be over. I strolled to my bathroom and picked up my hair brush so that I could untangle all the knots I always had after my bath. I walked to my mirror and started brushing my golden locks. I packed my hair in a messy bun, which was my signature style because I loved showing my pale skin. I applied some lipgloss and mascara just to give myself a little color. I was finally ready for school. I went back to my bedroom to pick up my bag and switched on my phone. While I waited for it to boot, I checked my watch to see that I had a few minutes left before the school bus arrived. I ran downstairs to the kitchen where mum was making some pancakes with bacon and dad was doing his normal routine of solving cross word puzzles that came with the early morning newspapers.
I kissed both my parents on the cheek and took my regular seat on the table. There was an empty seat next to me which belongs to my older brother, Alex. But he is enjoying his college life in England while I'm stuck here in Carlifonia still struggling with high school. I really do miss him sometimes. Mum put a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of me.

"Good morning Alicia.Are you ready for your first day in the 11th grade?" Mum asked with a smile.

"Not really. I just can't wait to get this over with." I said before putting a piece of pancake in my mouth. I moaned with happiness. Mums pancakes are always the best. I felt my tastebuds dancing for joy. I was really hungry.

"Don't worry. One more year and you'll be on the next flight to Germany for college." Dad said without looking up from his puzzle.
I laughed at the sight of how confused he looked when he didn't know the answer for a puzzle.
I heard the sound of the bus and I rushed down my food. I put my plate in the sink, picked up my bag and rushed out of the house. I heard my mum wishing me good luck and I shouted thanks. The bus stopped in front of my drive way. I hopped into the bus and found an empty seat at the back of the bus. I took out my phone from my back and found two new text messages; one from my best friend, Neville Robert and the other from Aiden Skyler, the boy I'm a having a "thing" with.
I opened the first one..

NEVILLE: Where are you? Aiden has been looking for you. I think he misses his boo. ^.^

This girl never seizes to amaze me.

ALICIA: I'm on my way. Don't do anything stupid.

She loves embarrassing me when she gets the chance too.

NEVILLE: I'll try not too.

I opened the second one..

AIDEN: Alicia. We need to talk. See you in school.
