"Have you ever been to a homecoming before, Devon?" Hunter asked, as the limo whisked him, Devon, Vanna, Lauren, and the rest of Lauren's party guests to Homecoming." Honestly, I haven't." Devon replied. "When my school would have their homecomings, I would end up having to miss them because of work.""Well, I'm glad that you are able to join all of us tonight.""Same here." Lauren added." I couldn't be more glad." Vanna smiled, looking into Devon's eyes and squeezing his hand gently. Moments later, the limo was pulling into the driveway of the Grand Hyatt Denver.

"Do you think that you will hear from Ms. Brayhock today?" Morgan asked." I don't know." I smiled. "However, something tells me that I will.""All of us want this for you, Tory, and really hope that you get it.""I hope I get it, too." I replied, sincerely.

As the four of us made our way to the center where the Positively Teen Awards were going to take place, my siblings and I were doing everything we could to help Tory relax. This afternoon, she would be the opening act for today's awards show. To be more specific, Torywould be dancing the solo that she danced in the first "Alex McDaniel" movie. She even had a beautiful costume and everything. On a different note, all of us were very excited about this afternoon. Not only was "The Alex McDaniel Files" movie up for Movie of the Year, but Tory was also up for Best Newcomer, and Best Female Lead. With this said, Nicholas, Travis, and I are praying and hoping that we nab this award, and that Tory nabs the other awards, too. After all, she deserves them.

Dressed in my dance attire, I made my way to the audition room. I know, I know. Dance attire is not something that one would normally where to their first, or any, movie audition. However, due to the fact that part of the audition required some dance moves, it was mandatory to wear "appropriate" attire to the audition. Today, I would be auditioning for the lead role in the upcoming movie series "The Alex McDaniel Files." This upcoming movie trilogy revolves around a teenage girl named Alexandra"Alex" McDaniel. It is about how she is diagnosed with cancer and has to put her dancing on hold for awhile. However, with the help of her best friend, Todd McDean, that she gets better and builds up the physical and emotional strength to dance again. In the end, they fall in love, and Alex becomes one of the best dancers of all time. It is a plot that truly speaks to my heart.

"I feel like I am going through the motions or something." My best friend, Lillian, said." How is it possible that graduation day has finally arrived?""That is all that I have been thinking about this morning." I replied." Seven hours from now, we will officially be high school graduates." As Lillian and I made our way to Stripling for dress rehearsal, I thought about what I just said, in seven hours, I will have graduated and conquered my career as a high school student.

"Surprise " My class-mates cheered and applaud-ed, as Ben, Lillian, and I made our way into Lillian's house." What is all this " I smiled, putting my hand over my heart." It's a surprise party for you " Ben smiled. "You didn't actually think that we were just going to shrug off the fact that you won last night, did you?"

Ever since June, Stella had been competing on a teenage t.v. singing competition called,"The Real Deal". It was a show where teens ages 13-17 competed each week to get one step closer to winning the ultimate prizes: $1,000,000, and a recording contract with Cookman Records. When the show had begun this season, there were 120 contestants. Now, at the show's season finale, there were only two left. One is a girl from Colorado, and the other is my best friend, Stella

"What do you guys want?" Rowan snapped. "Haven't you caused enough pain for Robyn already?""Please, Rowan, we are here to apologize to Robyn." Ross pleaded, his voice shaking. "Is she home?""No, she's not." Rowan said, calming down a little. "She and my parents just left to send Robyn off on her tour.""What?" Cassidy asked. "I thought she was supposed to leave at 6.""She was, but she got a call on Thursday night saying that the new time for departure would be at 3:45." Finally calmed down, Rowan said, "I'm sorry, guys, but you're too late."

Dear Journal, In a few months, my boyfriend, Ben, my best friend, Lillian, and I leave for Beacon College. On Friday, the three of us and my wonderful bodyguard/publicist/ manager, Lindsay, will be leaving for Australia tomorrow. After all, that is the first stop of my world tour. As you can imagine, I am pretty excited. Before I can get too excited about these wonderful things that are in my near future, I am choosing to put those on the back burner just for tonight. Tonight, I am choosing to focus on the fact that I am officially a high school graduate, and have fun at the graduation party that I am throwing tonight. After all the work that my best friend, boyfriend, classmates, and I have done this year, we deserve to have some fun and celebrate the fact that we are high school graduates Love and God Bless, Stell
