How did it get like this? Just 8 months ago I was...I was, I was normal. Going to school, driving to shopping centers, hanging out with my friends- having friends! It's going to take a long time to get my life back together, I just have to try and remember what it was like before all this happened. 8 months ago, my mum got me this--
"Diary? Mum, what am I going to do with this?" I say looking down at my 'New Year’s gift'. It was just a simple, red diary; why did she get me this? She knows I’m not that kind of person, so why? She gave me a look that screamed ungratefulness, "You're always talking about how you want to be famous one day," that, that was true. "So this is to write down what your feelings are, how your day went... who you’re crushing on," her voice peeped up on the last line.
I tilted my head to the side, this idea, I’ve heard it before, "Did you get this from 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'?" Ding, it was the oven; Mum's pie must be done. "Ohhh shoot! Okay here you go, go meet up with your friends. Bye, love you!" she pushed me out the door in well under a minute.
--------------------------------------------------
My neighborhood was so boring! I've lived here, in Joel Oaks, my whole life. It's a country/modern kind of place, but if the kids here want to have fun we need $10 for the bus trip into the city! If you actually had money, that is... if you didn't there was the beach, the shopping center, pool or Racket Rock cafe. Racket Rock was, the place to be after school. It had a games center.... dance area.... even, motorbike hire.
I'm not like every kid in this town; I have dreams and a future ahead of me! Okay, there are some kids (not a lot) that I see going really far in life. I walk over to our tree house on the side of our house; we live on a big piece of land, but we don’t own any farming animals- 'Too much work, not enough time' Dad says. I see my little sisters, Jayla and Kenzii playing dolls.
This was originally MY tree house, but since I'm in Year 11 (making me 17 years old), I can’t hang out there because it belongs to the twins now. It's crap; it was made for me, not them! I climb up the ladder quietly; I didn't want them to know my presence. Step by step I was getting closer and closer, "RARRRR!!" I scream to scare them- it worked.
"I hate you Lara!" Said the now in tears 9 year old, Jayla. She cried at anything, so over the years I've learnt to not grow guilty over it.
"Oh, so you're crying, it wasn't that scary! Now get out, I need to use the tree!" They both gave me a look of anger. "Get out...NOW! Before I push you out the window!" That sent them running. I looked outside the window, the girls were running for the back door near where my brother; Jason (14) was playing on his iPod.
Mum and Dad came up with a new rule for Jason, he had to spend at least 3 hours outside a day. It was because he was always spending his days inside his room. He closed himself off to the outside world… anyway, my parents got annoyed at his way of life so they made this rule. The condition was, he had to do outdoor activities.
I looked around for something to hit him with, I'm searching and searching, and then finally I find a toy phone. I give my best throw, BAM! Right on the shoulder; I smile to myself; a big grin actually. He was so zoned out into whatever he was playing that he got the shock of his life, his iPod went flying!
"HEY! You bitch! I'm coming to--"
"--get you!" The man cried out with a rusty old voice. I started running so fast, my heart raced like a speed car! When we finally came to a halt, we laughed to each other.
"You're going be just great JoleyO" We fade into the darkness like shadows, and that was the end of that night.
