“What’s up guys it’s Sierra Martinez. Like always I don’t really have a topic for this Wednesday’s vlog. I should be doing homework but you know I’ll do it later. Actually I asked you guys on twitter to ask me questions using the tag #AskSierra. Like always I’ll follow the people who ask me a question that I use in the video. Let’s go.” I had my camera set up on my desk and my homework sprawled around it.

“Hey, are you doing your homework?” JC said poking his head through my door.

“I’ll do it after I upload.” I said smiling. JC shook his head chuckling before closing the door.

So let me explain my situation for those of you who are confused. My real name is Jordan Jessie Mendes but I go by Sierra Jordan Martinez. The day I attempted suicide Shawn came home early because Aaron called him. Shawn found me in the bathroom. After a few weeks in the hospital the doctors convinced my parents that I need a change of scenery. A few days later I convinced them to let me live in California, with the help of Connor, with him JC, Ricky, and Kian. Before I left I dyed my hair blonde because I knew girls would recognize me. Connor is now my legal guardian and when we were registering me for school we talked to the principal and he agreed to put me under the name of Sierra Martinez. About four months later I gave YouTube another try. That’s when Awkward Singz was born. That was in about December. It’s now August 3rd and I still haven’t done my summer homework and its due on my birthday, which happens to be the first day of school.

“‘#AskSierra How are you and Aaron doing?’ Aaron and I are doing great. I just miss him. ‘Are you excited to be turning 17 on Monday???? #AskSierra’ You’re a fake fan! I’m not turning 17, I’m turning 5. Get your facts straight. ‘#AskSierra Can I give you pizza? Just follow me and DM me your address.’ Sneaky girl; you though I was going to give you the address to the house where 4/6 of the O2L guys live. ‘Sierra will you have my babies #AskSierra’ Excuse you, you’re supposed to ask me on a date, give me food, buy me flowers and then we can talk about making babies.” I answered the first four I saw and followed each one. As I finished and was editing my video Connor came in my room.

“Hey, what do you want for dinner?” As always Connor is the responsible one and is a pain in the ass for the most part. ‘Why were you out so late?’ ‘Who were you with?’ ‘Do you know what time it is?’ ‘It’s past your curfew.’

“Are we talking in terms of buying food or making it?” I swerved around in my chair to face him.

“Ordering, I’m too lazy to cook today.”

“Chinese. Take out menu is in the kitchen with the others.” I said as I wrote down what I want.

“Thanks.” Connor said taking the paper from me.

“Oh hey Con, can I go out with some friends tonight?”

“What time are you getting back?”

“I don’t know, late.”

“Who are you going with?”

“Nika and them.”

“Fine, just keep me updated.” I pulled and my phone out and text Mikey.

To: Mikey :P

I know what you guys are thinking, “Is she cheating on Aaron?” No I’m not. I met Mikey at the skate park and I later found out he went to my school. He’s kinda like the guy version of me except our stories are different. He’s a punk who has rich parents but they love him. They get him everything he wants and support him 101%. Nika is this chick who hates me because I’m close friends with Mikey. Mikey is the only one here who I trust and told my secret about who I really am. Mikey is also popular and talked to me on my first day of school. Because he kept pestering me and bugging me every day and I eventually gave up and joined him I became popular. I guess he had a kinda crush on me but I told him, in a nice way, that I was dating Aaron.

I tried to quickly do my homework as I got ready for tonight. Nothing too special, we’re just skating around town. At school we’re like those stereotypical popular kids but on the streets we look like those kids that get in trouble and hang out at skate parks. Since its summer and California I decided to put on short shorts, a crop top, my dirty old converse, and a bandana. My hair was already curled so I slipped the bandana on before getting my new penny board, phantom. I walked down stairs to see Kian and JC spraying each other with silly string and Wishbone barking at them. Connor was on the couch listening to music and dancing. Ricky was in the laundry room.

“I live with weirdos.” I muttered under my breath looking at the three in the room.

We were skating down a hill with sodas I our hands; literally laughing our asses off most likely annoying the people in their houses as we passed by. We talked about having a bonfire at the beach on Sunday so it could be our last summer hurrah. It’s a really steep hill and it feels like we were skating forever.

“Sierra, are you busy tomorrow?” I heard Mikey ask.

“No I’m going to be home alone and I might go school supply shopping.” I said after taking a sip.

“Oh… Okay.”

“You can come over and we can hang out and go get supplies together.”

“Yeah, I’d love that.” I felt something hit my back causing me to fall and tumble down the hill.

When I finished tumbling Mikey and everyone was next to me.

“Oops, I guess I lost my grip.” Nika said in a sarcastic tone.

“What is your problem? That could’ve seriously hurt me.” Mikey helped me up and I was leaning on him.

“Oh damn, I wish it did.”

“C’mon Nika, don’t be a bitch. That’s totally unattractive.” Mikey said defending me.

“Whatever, I’m leaving.” Nika picked up her penny and left. Everyone else started leaving after making sure that I was okay.

“Get on my back Jordan, I’m taking you home.” Mikey said after putting our pennies in his back pack. I put on the back pack and climbed on Mikey’s back. We weren’t that far from the house but since we’re walking it’ll take a little longer.

I was lying down in my bed about to facetime Aaron. Connor freaked out a little bit after I got home but he calmed down. When I called it didn’t ring. I tried a couple more times but I guess his phone is off. I send him a quick text before falling asleep.
