Hey guys! welcome to my new book. This is based on me and my friends in real life. Enjoy!

STOP. Don't read any further. These journals are filled with some gore, some romance, and a touch of heroism. If you aren't a fan of any of these and maybe some twists and turns along the way, you won't like our story. Who's story? Well...that's a long story. It all started at the end of the summer in 2017. The "Back to School" signs were up everywhere and students feared for their sanity once again. My best friend, Kate and I were at the store to get some chips for a sleepover when we were struck with this horror show called "school supplies." Literally. A worker who was putting up a sign for school supplies thwacked me in the head. " Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry ma'am. Are you ok? " I look up at the foul creature that knocked me on my butt. Or...swept me off my feet. Heh...'cause he was CUTE. I think i've seen him around school. I gathered myself, stood up, and brushed myself off as I said, " Oh it's really no problem. I wouldn't mind getting hit with a sign by you... " and the look on Kate's face told me to shut up. But he just laughed and said, " You're cute, you know that? I gotta go, but hopefully I'll get to see you later? " "Yeah...maybe..." I gushed. He walked away and I turned to Kate with a gleam in my eye. "Since when did you become a flirt?" She questioned. "Oh hush you," I muttered. " let's just get the chips. "

We got back to the house and started to unpack groceries. "How was the trip girls?" My mother asked. " It was good mom! " Kate and I exclaimed in unison. We got done unpacking everything and Kate and I ran up to my room. "So what's on the agenda Hanna?" Kate asked me. " Well, I thought we could watch some movies " We stayed up that night until 3 or 4am bingewatching the best shows we could find. The next morning, we woke up and crossed off another day on the calendar. A week until school starts. Only a week.

Kate and I got dressed and went back to the store for school supplies. We pulled up outside the store and walk in and who do we see? The sign guy. "YOU." he looks over at me and Kate and his face is pale. " Um...hi again...?" he says slowly. He walked over to Kate and I with a sly smirk on his face. "Come back for more have we?" I put on my signature smirk to cover up the nervousness. "you wish. This time we're here for school." "Oh school supply lists are this way." He said as he pointed to the giant stand with slots for school supply lists. "Oh, thanks...I guess." We walked over to the stand and started looking for Bridgeport high. "Bridgeport?" he asked. I jumped back with a startle. "Y-yeah. You go there?" I questioned nervously. "Unfortunately, yeah I do." He said. "I'm on the basketball team." Of course. Get it together Hanna. Don't forget what you've learned from countless detective shows. Analyse the surroundings. "Oh, you're a popular then. Then I guess you won't see me around." I said defeatedly. I grabbed the Bridgeport High school supply list and walked to the back of the store and as far away from Mr. popular as possible.
