Dear Diary,

I never really liked this whole diary thing. I had one when I was like eight and I never wrote in it. But I thought, since I'm a senior now, maybe I'll have more interesting things to write. So here I go. Let's see, I guess I'll catch you up on my life basically. Um, my name is Manuella Santos, I was born on December 2, 1990. I live with my parents, although I'd rather not discuss them. I was born in Manila, Philippines. Blah, blah, blah. Um, let's see…I started going to the best school ever (Degrassi) when I was in seventh grade with my best friend Emma. I've been there ever since. I joined the spirit squad my first year there, and I'm still on it. Although I took a break when I flashed…well…you'll find out later. When I was a freshman I changed my look from a cute, bubbly, little girl to a hot hot hottie teenager. I got pregnant when I was fourteen by this guy named Craig. Well, he's kinda more than just this guy. But anyway, yeah, I got pregnant and then I got an abortion. My dad kicked me out when I was sixteen, well I still am sixteen. But, it was last year. Anyway, he kicked me out because I wanted to be an actress, and that wasn't his ideal career for me. So I moved in with Emma. Around the same time I got kicked out, I went to this guy named Peter's party. Then I got kinda drunk and flashed his camera. Then he sent it to the whole school. I know, jerk. So then Emma (remember, she's my BEST FRIEND!!) started going out with him! Can you believe that? I forgave her, though. Then, she became anorexic. Then she tried to make me bulimic. But this diary isn't about her, it's about me. Then my (ex)boyfriend Craig came back (oh yeah, he went to do his whole rock star thing and toured the states) and he was on cocaine. Then he went to rehab. Then (I know, a lot of 'then's!) I planned a birthday party for one of my oldest friends, Liberty. But things got way too out of hand. This is kinda hard for me to talk about, but this jerk from Lakehurst got drunk stabbed another one of my oldest friends, J.T….And he killed him tear. We did the whole funeral thing, and we had this memorial for him at school. They had a slideshow of all of his ADORABLE pictures. It was so cute. We miss him soooooooooo much!! Okay, I'm crying now…so I have to go.

XOXO,

Sad Manny

Dear Diary,

Sorry for not writing yesterday. I got "busy". I'm lying. I just didn't feel like writing. But I have vowed that from now on, I'm gonna write in you every day. Unless something really drastic comes up. And in that case, I may just write a sentence or two explaining what happened and why I can't write more. Graduation is in two days!! I can't believe it, I'm going to college! I'm so excited. It's sort of surreal. Like, you know how you watch those TV shows about people graduating and they all go koo koo bananas and cry their eyes out? That's how I'm feeling right now. I know that I'll be bawling on Saturday. Especially since J.T. won't be graduating with us. Since we were in seventh grade, him, Emma, Toby, and me would always talk about the day we graduate high school together. And the day after we graduate we would all go on a road trip to Alberta together. And we would open all of the letters we got from the colleges of our choice together. Another tear!! Oh my gosh, I'm gonna start crying again! Okay, I gained my composure. I'm good. So yeah, I got accepted into York University! I couldn't believe it! Me, Emma, and Toby all wanted to go there because J.T.'s last name was Yorke, only it was spelled with an e. Like I just wrote it. Anyway, I got my act together in school and scored a 1200 on my S.A.T. So now we can all go to York in honor of J.T. I'm about to go to work. I got a job at Dot. It's okay, I guess. Pays pretty good. It's boring though. Oh my gosh, it's already 4! I'm late. Gotta go.

XOXO,

Late Manny

Dear Diary,

I know it's only been a day, but there's so much I have to catch you up on! There's this new guy at work, and he's so cute. I've never felt like this about a guy before. Not even Craig. And I've only known this guy for a day. He's so hot, and he's like the coolest guy you'd ever meet. I feel like I can talk to him about anything. And he likes me, too. I can tell. He always flirts with me on our breaks, and even when we're working. Oh, I didn't even tell you his name. Gabe. He's eighteen, though. Isn't that like illegal or something? Oh well. He's worth going to jail for. 3:30. I have to go to work again. Oh, I didn't tell you the best part! We have the exact same schedule. I love Lacey. She's my manager. She knows how much I like Gabe. But she said during work hours to keep our relationship strictly personal. But whatever. He's hott!!

XOXO,

Excited Manny

Dear Diary,

Gabe and I exchanged numbers!! He's so hott. I know I just met him, but I'm falling pretty fast. There's something different about him. He's not like other boys. There's really no words that can explain what I'm feeling. I know that's really corny, but it's true. I have to go. I have to get ready for tomor…wait, Gabe's calling! Bye!

XOXO,

Grabbing My Phone, Manny

Dear Diary,

I can't talk long. Today's graduation. I'm so nervous, but it's a good kind of nervous. Liberty's the valedictorian. I haven't heard her speech yet, but I hope it's good. I can't wait to get that diploma, and I'll officially be out of high school. Gotta go get dressed. Bye!

XOXO,

Manny is Graduating!

Dear Diary,

I'M A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE!!!!! Can you believe that Manuella Santos is a high school graduate? Yeah, I can too. I know it's not THAT big of a deal. I'm saying it like I didn't think I would graduate. I knew that I'd graduate, it just never really hit me. So, I talk on the phone with Gabe a lot. We talk every day for at least two or three hours. And I keep forgetting, I just met him a few days ago. I'm falling for him way, way too fast. But he said that he just got out of a long-term relationship, so he's not ready for a girlfriend yet. I just got out of a semi-long-term relationship too! I'm ready! And he's koo koo bananas if he thinks that we're just going to be friends and that's it. I'll give him a month. If he doesn't make a move in a month, I'm gonna freaking explode! He's such a loser.

XOXO,

Pissed Manny
