Hey lol.
I have no fucking clue what this is.
But here we are.
We moved out yesterday. Zero regrets about that. I go by Paxton Enjelical now, wish there were some god forsaken way to get rid of the Howard in this email. Eddie and I have promised to see each other at DECA state this year. All he has to do is make it now considering I'm a state officer this year. I wish there were some hopeful note I can end this on.
Um, I heard Lakeshore's pretty good.
Except there's nothing there for me.
Cheers to new beginnings.

Subject: WHAT THE ACTUAL-
Firstly, I have a brain tumor.
Yes, so the doctor thinks that maintaining these email journals are a good idea to look back on. I instantly rejected the idea in front of mum and Doctor Lim. Little do they know that I've already been keeping whatever this is.
In another news.......
I FOUND HER.
Okay Eddie would laugh if he saw how excited I am about this. But I found her, that girl from Deca state. The pretty one that I couldn't stop thinking about months after that night. A few facts that we know about former mystery girl:
She's my neighbor.
She carries around pepper spray and is not afraid to use it.
She has this awesome mom who gave me some chocolate cake.
She has a name other than pill girl.
Aarohi Keshav.
Maybe there is something for me in Lakeshore after all.

Today, Aarohi asked me why I'm always furiously texting people on my phone.
Yeah, who's going to tell her?
So, things started off a bit rocky. I was this close to punching Luke two weeks ago, but we're past that point now. Unless he decides to pull another dick move for absolutely no reason. If Ella ever finds a boy that acts like that jerk-
Well, we'll have a few words to exchange that's all.
Can I just say that Nagi Suzuki's my new favorite person?
Her first words to me were, "I don't see the hype around you."
Turns out, the freshmen were gushing about me?
School's a bit weird that way.

I'm officially seventeen.
I woke up to Ella jumping on my bed and Mum making a meal of waffles topped with berries and whipped cream. Today's a cheat day, I've needed one of those after the disgusting tablets I've been swallowing these past few weeks. Alice's supposed to visit for the weekend so at least there's that.
