Ever since we were babies, I have been best friends with Lisa and Callum Hunter. Even after I moved to Los Angeles to begin filming my show and a couple of movies, we still remained best friends. Speaking of my best friends, today is their eighteenth birthday. For their birthday, they are having a large co-ed sleepover at their family's mansion. The reason I know this is because they told me about it. The twins also told me that if they could have one birthday wish, it would be that I would be able to make their party, and celebrate with them and the rest of our good friends. Unbeknowst to them, their wish will be coming true

Dear Journal, Today is my eighteenth birthday, and it has been a great one so far Not only did I get to enjoy an amazing birthday breakfast and lunch that my wonderful aunt had prepared, but she, Mom, and I went birthday shopping, and pampered ourselves at the spa I also received some pretty cool gifts from everyone, as well Moving on, let me tell you a little bit about what is going to go on tonight for dinner. My family and Max's family are going to meet up at P. F. Chang's for dinner tonight Even though my parents have met Max and love him to death, they have not met his awesome and amazing parents Truth be told, I have a strong feeling that they are going to hit it off -Mitchie

Making my way to the dance center for boot camp week, I cannot help but feel excited I have not seen my best friends or our dance team all summer, and cannot wait to see them again On a different note, I am excited about my first day of being captain of the dance team I have been looking forward to this day for a while, and now it is finally here Pulling my car into the parking lot, I cannot help but smile After all, today is going to be an exciting day

"Do you have everything, sweetie?" My wonderful and amazing manager, Bianca, asks, as the tour bus pulls to a stop in front of my mansion." I sure do." I smiled back. Giving Bianca a big hug, I say. "Thank you so much for a fun summer. I truly had the time of my life ""I did, too " Bianca replied. "Just like always, it is a pleasure and privilege to travel and work with you." After giving me another hug, Bianca gave me a gentle look and said, "Sweetie, how are you feeling about seeing Brent again, after being away the entire summer?""I honestly don't know." I replied, thoughfully. "There is a part of me that wants to talk to him and see him again. However, there is another part of me that doesn't want to. Even though I hate not talking to him, he really hurt me.""I completely get it." Bianca replied. "The best thing that you can do is follow your heart." Before I left for tour back in May, my best friend and lifelong secret love interest, Brent, and I had gotten into a huge argument. He had said some really hurtful things. This fight had caused me to ignore Brent the entire summer, even though he had called plenty of times. Even though I was ready to surrender and let it go, I was still angry at Brent. Even though I hated feeling this way, that is just how I felt.

Changing into my bikini and blue jean shorts, I become more and more excited about tonight Tonight is my family's and my annual Fourth of July barbecue and pool party.

"It's good to have my sister at gymnastics camp for the week." Danny smiled. "After all, it means that I finally get some alone time with you.""I know how you feel." Devan smiled back. "I like hanging out with you guys in a group, but I also like hanging out with you guys seperately. On a different note. I especially like getting alone time with you, too." While talking on the phone last night, Danny had asked Devan if he could take her to P. F. Chang's for lunch. Due to the fact that that was her favorite restaurant, as well as the fact that she had something to talk about with him, Devan had said yes. There was also the fact that having lunch with Danny meant Devan would be having alone time with him. This factor made Devan very excited and happy "So, Danny, I have a question for you that has to do with this week.""What is it, Dev? Tell me more ""You know how my family and I go to Florida to stay at our beach house during July for a few days?""Yes?""Well, I was wondering if you would be interested in joining us this year."

"Attention, everyone, there is someone in this very room that has a big and special birthday today " Hannah, the camp director, smiled. "Delaney St. James, will you please come up here?" Getting up from my table and putting down my food, I smiled, blushed, and made my way up to the cafeteria stage. After everyone stopped cheering for me, Hannah began to speak again. Putting her arm around me, Hannah smiled at me and asked, "Miss Delaney, if you don't mind me asking and telling us how old you are today?""18." I replied, grinning from ear to ear." That's a big birthday " Hannah exclaimed, as everyone clapped and cheered. After everyone became silent again, Hannah asked, "Would you mind if we all sang happy birthday to you?""Not at all." I sincerely smiled back. Moments later, everyone began to sing to me.

Ever since she had left for Los Angeles to live with her favorite aunt and to start filming her show all of those years ago, Dallas found herself missing her family like crazy. With this said, she would find herself thinking that she would give anything to get one day, one hour, or even a minute with her parents, good friends, and best friends. One more hug would even suit well with Dallas. Don't get me wrong, Dallas loved her career and life in Los Angeles. However, she missed getting to see her parents, good friends and besties on a daily basis. Moving onto today, today is a very special and exciting day for Dallas. Not only is today her eighteenth birthday, but it is the first day of the weekend stay with her parents(She will be staying with them from today until Sunday). Truth be told, this weekend is the best birthday present that Dallas could ever ask for

After all, she had had the summer of a lifetime

Each July, Eden's Dad would escort her back to Florida to attend a week long session at Crystal Lake Church Camp during the session that her good friends from her old youth group would be in. Truth be told, coming to camp was one of the main highlights of Eden's summer.

For years now, the tradition of going to an open mic restaurant on the first night of the trip had been set in stone. Truth be told, it was one of my favorite traditions of the trip.

"Do you think that you will get up there and sing?""I'm planning on it " Danny replied. "After all, I have never sang on stage before, and it looks like fun "Before any of us could say anything more, we were arriving at the restaurant.

Dear Journal, Tonight is my school's Homecoming dance, and I could not be more excited Not only am I a nominee for Homecoming Queen, but my best friends and I are going to dance the night away We have the dresses, the shoes, the hair, nails, toes, and makeup for tonight Even though I am looking forward to tonight, I am also a little sad. Three weeks ago after four months of being together, my boyfriend and I called it quits. The long distance was getting hard for us, so we made the hard decision to call it quits. The good news for this is that there is no animosity or anger between us. We have nothing but respect and good wishes for one another However, this does not change the fact that I miss him, and sometimes wish that we could get back together.-Mitchie

Making my way up the front walkway to my family's and my mansion, I couldn't help but think that something was going on. Not only had there been a day at the spa getting primped and pampered, as well as getting our hair done, but there was also the fact that Mom bought me a dress, shoes, and jewelry at Macy's, and asked me to wear it out of the store. Even though the spa trip, hair trip, and shopping trip were all normal things, it didn't feel normal today. Unlocking and opening the door, and turning on the light, Dad, Jake, a plethora of our good friends, as well as some family friends came out of hiding and cheered, "Surprise "

As Mom pulled up in front of the Hunter's mansion, my heart began to thud inside of my chest. In just a few moments, I would be ringing the doorbell, and surprising my best friends, and our good friends This made me both excited and nervous.

Taking a deep breath, I rang the doorbell.
