When she was eight years old, Giselle was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. When she was fifteen, she was put on remission. Even though she has been on remission for two years, and has been doing very well, Jeremiah, Kayla, and I hope that Giselle's doctor will tell her that she is cancer-free. That would truly make our day.

A few weeks ago, Giselle had come to me asking for a favor. For the end of the school year talent show, she had wanted me to do a dance with her to Adam Lambert's "For Your Entertainment". Of course I had said yes. After all, I would do anything for Giselle Camden. While she and I will be dancing together for a majority of the dance, there will be a part where she dances a small solo. Even though I have seen Giselle practice her solo during our dance rehearsals, I am truly excited about seeing her perform it in front of our teachers, friends, and peers.

When we were playing basketball last week during free time, Finn asked me how I felt about singing a duet with him. After I told him about my fear of singing in front of a crowd, he told me that he believed in me with all of his heart, he 110% knew that I could do this, and that he would be there up on stage with me. Joy and awe filling my heart, and wanting to conquer my fear, I agreed to sing with him. Even though I am nervous about singing on stage at the talent show tonight, I am also confident and excited, too. After all, I will have Finn by my side.

Last week, Fable and Finn had performed in the camp's Wednes-day night talent show. In the in they had won. This meant that the girls of Fable's cabin ( Fable, Savannah, Jamie, Victoria, Ava, and Lucy), the guys in Finn's cabin (Finn, Nathan, Max, Nick, Derek, and Brad), the girl's counselor, Amy, and the guy's counselor, Robbie, were getting to spend the Fourth of July at Six Flags Over Texas. Since the guys and girls were good friends with their cabin mates and with each other, as well, a great time was going to be had by all.

While hanging out with Adriana this afternoon, I challenged her to a race, I told her that if she won, I would take her out on a date to celebrate her birthday early. It is tomorrow, after all. I also told Adriana that if I won, I would get to take her out on a date tonight to celebrate her birthday early. Thankfully, Adriana had liked and agreed to this idea. As I pull into the restaurant, I cannot help but smile. After all, I am on a date with kind, sweet, genuine, down to earth Adriana Life was truly sweet

"Before I give you your Christmas gifts, I have some-thing to say." Collette smiled. "For your Christmas gifts this year, I used some of the modeling money that I had saved up over the years, and got you something really special. What I ask is that you guys open your envelopes first and then the box. This is because I want to save the best for last. I will answer any questions that you may have after you open the gift. On a different note, I want to say that you guys mean so much to me, and I could not imagine my life without you. Merry Christmas."

My suitcase is packed, and I am showered and ready to go. Even though I woke up before my alarm, I don't care. Due to the fact that I am beyond stoked and excited about the trip that my boyfriend, best friends, parents, and I are leaving for today, I could barely sleep last night. On a different note, I have a feeling that this trip is going to be amazing and one that I will remember for years to come.

The day has come for me to shoot my video for "Let's Hear It For The Boy", and I could not be more excited. Along with my dancers and about forty other extras, my boyfriend and best friends will also be in the music video. I am truly excited that they will be sharing this experience with me

Today is the last soccer game of the school year. In fact, It is the last game of the season. Am I excited? Of course Am I nervous? Yes and no. Even though I know that the Ataman Aviators varsity girls soccer team will do well today, I really want us to win. If we won today, that would mean that we would have a perfect season under our belts. After all, we have not lost one game this season.

As Brylee, Bryce, and Blakely got their mani/pedi's, Brylee took into deep consideration what her best friends were saying. There had been evidence since Brad and Blakely had met that he might like her. Maybe her best friends had a point. Maybe Brad actually did like Brylee as more than a friend. Confidence filling her heart, Brylee decided that she would be telling Brad about how she felt tonight at homecoming.

Even though I love touring and singing and traveling around the world, I missed my parents and being with them and the Cole's at the beach house during the summer. Before I started singing, I would be with all of them at the beach house every summer. Even though my parents had gotten to come up here and spend time with the Cole's during the last three years, I hadn't. After all, I had been on tour However, that had all changed when I became a singer. On a different note, this summer is different. This summer, I get to actually spend time at the beach house with my parents and Cole's. I am truly excited about relaxing this summer and spending time with my family and best friends

As Mom and I made our way from Macy's to the place where I get my hair done to get a haircut for to-morrow, night, something caught my eye. It was a modeling agency that was looking for models ages 15-65. Since my dream was to become a model someday, this interested me." Mom, can we please go over and check it out?" I asked." Of course, let's go." Mom smiled, as we made our way over to where the booth was set up

"Zooey, I can't believe that you are actually going through with this." Hadley said, as she, Kenzie, and Zooey made their way to Galleria Dallas. "You are a braver person than I am.""What, you don't think I would look good with short hair?" Zooey asked, feeling a little sting in her heart." Of course I do " Hadley exclaimed. "I'm just saying that I think it is cool that you are going through with a change that you really want. If I wanted a change like that, I don't think that I would have the bravery to go through with it."

"Hey." Christian smiled back. Frowning a little he asked, "Did I wake you up?""No, I haven't been to sleep yet." Devan replied. "I've been up thinking about...""What happened during our duet last night?" Christian finished. "Yeah, I've been up all night thinking about it, too." Running a hand through his hair, Christian asked, "Would you like to go swimming with me, and maybe we can figure it out together?""That sounds like a plan." Devan smiled. "Let me get changed real quickly.""Okay." Christian smiled, as Devan closed her bedroom door.
