I woke up on Saturday morning. It was 11:00 am. I freshened up and went down to the kitchen. My mom had made pancakes and caramel for breakfast.Mmmm I love pancakes.

Ok, the truth is I might never be able to forget that night and I might curse myself forever for being such a coward, but, I admit, I feel a little better with this 'fair' thing going on. It takes my mind off of that day and makes me think about the present problems.

I was in a good mood today. And I could see that my mom was pleased I was participating in the fair because she looked happy to see me happy instead of the usual depressed and isolated.

Out stalls for the fair were well thought out and prepared.

For the 'Dunk In' we put up a board that we made with graffiti and we made a huge cardboard wall and made a huge push button switch in the center to 'dunk' Cal or Steve when someone hits it. Miss. Berger said we could advertise for a stall by promoting it from another stall. So we painted the balls used for hitting the button and we wrote 'Also check out Sabrina's accessories'.

Everything was set. 'Sabrina's accessories' had a table with many stands to display the accessories and it had a wall behind where the more pricey ones were displayed. It also had a board with pictures of Bree, Sam and Lauren wearing the jewelry. It was just going smooth and perfect!

Others had done some creative stuff too like 'Miley's Ring and Bottle game', 'Wilbur's Snack Bar', 'Amelia the Fortune Teller' and tsk...'Claire's KISSING BOOTH'!

The whole school was excited. It's surprising that our school is giving grades for having fun. I checked my text messages and Cal had sent one last night after I slept off saying 'good night'.

I was talking to my mom and she said that we should go shopping and even though I didn't want to go I said ok. I was really excited about the fair and just wanted to get out of the house. The best way to do that without hurting my mom was to go ugh 'shopping' with her.

We finished up breakfast and arrived at the mall around noon. My mom took me to Monica. Monica is, I agree, the best shop in the mall....for girls! All sorts of dresses and gowns and skirts and..bleh.

My mom picked out a few dresses and skirts and I told my mom that we'll check in Minimum which had way cool stuff in the guys section. I know it's weird but I usually just wear a tee and a pair of shorts that's loose and comfy and not GIRLY! My mom says ok. I go into the store and get two pairs of shorts and this really cool black tee that says ' I'm with stupid' and an arrow pointing to the right and on the back it says ' I'm with loser' with an arrow pointing left. Hah! My mom let me get them all and we had pasta for lunch at the food court.

My dad had already gone back to India for work. He only came for a week and I didn't even get to spend much time with him. I wish my dad could stay here and work like a normal person. But he needs to travel quite frequently so he's hardly ever home. I admit, it's tough at times. But my mom really helps me out. I know that most teenagers aren't very close with their parents, but with me and my mom its different. When my dad's ever actually home, it's different. All of us are just excited and happy to see each other. My parents always have a night out and all of us go for a movie or to an amusement park or somewhere fun.
