Chapter One
Bad Things that Happened

11:03 PM. That’s when he would always call me. Every night, reminding me of the day we met, 4 years ago. I was a freshman, and as soon as I looked into his deep, icy-blue eyes I knew every girl in the entire school would be in love with him. I, though, wasn’t. Strangely enough, I was just fine being friends with him. There was nothing more or nothing less between us. Just friends.

It rang once, and I picked it up.

“Hello?” I asked expectantly.

“Shawna? Hey..it’s Dylan.”

“I know…Hey. You were exactly on time..11:03.” I told him, satisfied.

“Aren’t I always?”

“Shawna! Wake up; time for school, sweetheart!” Mom called into my room. I groaned and kicked off my covers, getting up. Mom said it was time for school, but really it was two hours before.

It took me a while to get ready, and as soon as I got up, I had to take a shower.

Once my make-up was done, hair straightened, blue jeans and pale-blue Aeropostale shirt on, I scarfed down two pancakes and a glass of milk.

Before long, I was in my cloud-white car, pulling into my usual parking spot. Well, almost. A sparkly red car swerved in front of me, taking my spot.

Usually, I would’ve honked my horn and yelled at them. Today, though I just ignored it and parked somewhere else.

“Shawnie! Hey! Over here!” Someone called out. It was Kristen; who I never really talked to, but we weren’t not friends. We just didn’t have any classes together.

“Yeah?” I asked her, a bit confused I walked to my lockers, where she was.

“I heard you and Dylan were finally going out! Congrats!” I was shocked. No, me and Dylan were certainly not dating. Just friends. It reminded me of last night, when Dylan had called.

I shook my head. “We aren’t.” I assured her. Kristen looked a bit disappointed. She gave me a look like ‘now I have to tell all my friends it isn’t true’. I walked into homeroom, hoping no one else would ask about me and Dylan or even bring it up.

As if. I was bothered about it all day. I was almost to the point of going to the intercom and announcing it wasn’t true.

I couldn’t wait to get home and go to sleep--possibly forever. Yeah…right. I was wishing too much today. The genie was denying me. Of course, I had a volleyball game that night.

Today’s just not a luck day, I told myself. Since my mom gave me a diary, I decided to write in it.
At the end of the entry, I made a list:
Bad Things that Happened:
5. I was really tired, when…
4. I realized I had a volleyball game.
3. We lost: 2 games, 21-17 and 21-9.
2. Everyone said and thought me and Dylan were going out…
And the first, absolute worst thing that happened?
1. We weren’t.

I am losing parts of the story. Parts of it are reading like it was mentioned in an earlier paragraph. When I go back to find it I can't. You should go back and proof read for content again. I suggest reading it outloud to yourself. Remember you need to lead into actions otherwise the reader can become lost.
