After the last slow dance of the evening had stopped, Cecily's Uncle Mark had made his way up onto the platform. After greeting the guests, Uncle Mark had told Cecily that her birthday present had just arrived. Afterwards, he had instructed everyone to head to the driveway. When Cecily and everyone else had reached the driveway, Cecily stopped dead in her tracks. Sitting in the driveway with a big bow on top of it was the red 2016 Mustang that Cecily had been dreaming of for months. Even though it was what she had wanted, it was not just the car that had her excited. It was the people standing by the car that had Cecily weak at the knees.

Dear Journal, Today is the last day of the school year I can't believe how fast the time has gone It seems like only yesterday that my junior year of high school began Even though I am excited about the school year ending, there is a part of me that is sad. My best friend (and secret crush), Cameron, and I haven't been speaking for the past two weeks. We got into a big fight a couple of weeks ago, and haven't been speaking since. The funny thing is that I don't even remember why we are fighting at all. All I know is that I am tired of fighting with Cameron, Today at school, I plan on telling him that I am tired of fighting, and that I miss him. After all, it is the truth. XOXO, Cecily

Dear Journal, Everyone has their own idea of what makes a Prom fantastic and spectacular. For some, it could be the awesome food. For others, it could be the amazing music. For me, however, a fantastic evening at Prom means spending time with my boyfriend and best friends

As I lay in the MRI machine, tears prickled my eyes. What if the headaches that I had been having lately were not just bad headaches? What if they were caused by something else? Before I could ask myself anymore questions, the MRI was over.

"Was it just me, or did Juliet sound completely out of it when she called us this afternoon?" Johnathan wanted to know." She definitely sounded different." JoAnna replied, solemnly. "Guys, I get the feeling that Juliet isn't having us come over tonight so we can laugh and have a good time." Staying silent in the backseat, I knew that JoAnna was right. As Juliet's boyfriend, I could tell when something was wrong. By the tone of her voice on the phone tonight, I could tell that something was definitely up. To be quite honest, I am scared to find out what she has to tell us.

Dear Journal, Tomorrow is the big photo shoot for People magazine. Am I a little nervous? Yes. Am I excited more than anything? Of course I mean, who wouldn't be? Come on, it's People magazine Because my choir and I won the World Choir Competition earlier this month, we are getting a front page story in May's issue of People magazine. Getting a front page story was one of the perks that the winner of Worlds would receive. I am so excited that my choir and I were the winners and am getting this cool opportunity tomorrow

It is so obvious that Daniel likes you, Trista." I smiled, as Dylan, Dana, Trista, and me received pedicures. "Why else would my brother have asked you out on a date?""To be nice?" Trista asked, thoughtfully. "I don't know why Daniel would be into me in that way.""I do." Dylan and I smiled in unison." Me too." Dana smiled, thoughtfully, Turning to Trista, she said, "Tris, you are awesome, amazing, and beautiful both inside and out.""T, you are that and so much more than you give yourself credit for." I said, sincerely. Giving Trista a sincere smile, I said, "Instead of asking yourself why my brother would be into you, you should be asking why he wouldn't be."

Dear Journal, Tomorrow is the day that I return to Orlando, Florida for the summer. I have waited for this day to arrive for awhile. I can't wait to be reunited with my Dad, stepfamily, best friend, and the boy who has stolen my heart. Orlando, Florida, here I come

Dear Journal, This month has brought me so much joy. From winning my soccer tournament to getting into my dream school, I never thought that one person could experience so much joy, and that nothing could bring me more joy. Up until tonight, that is what I thought. At dinner tonight, Daniel asked me to be his girlfriend. Of course, I said yes. Daniel brings me so much joy and is the person that I could never be without. Thank you Lord for bringing so much joy into my life.-Trista
