Dear Diary,

Prom is such a big deal here in America. Why is it such a big deal? I don't know….Oh well. Even though I'm only a sophomore in high school (Prom is for juniors and seniors, but a lower classman can go if their "date" is a junior or senior) I love looking at dresses. A girl can plan and dream, can't she?

Well, anyways, I'm hoping that I might get lucky this year. It could happen, right?

Today was okay. Since moving from England to America, I have been made fun-of, had things stolen from me, and sat on. People sit on me all the time. They think, "Oh this looks like a lovely seat, I think I'll just sit here," then when they do, my books either get torn or completely shoved off my lap. How rude.

Today officially marks the second week that I have lived in America. I hate it. I want to go home so badly.

Well, my mum is calling me. Talk to you soon.

Yours,

Alice Kirkland


A.N./ Brilliant idea. I should write a diary, not my diary of course, but someone else's. I've always been better at writing non-fiction anyways, so this is perfect for me.

This is right in the middle of the year when everyone is thinking about prom. Prom is a really big deal in America. I decided that Alice can move in the middle of the year. That always seems to be the hardest time for students to get settled in and everything since half the year has already passed.

I started off writing in Amelia's point of view (Fem!America), but then I decided that she was all out of character. I made a change. Because I can. End of story. Well, not this story, just my story. I think you get the idea.

I'm a very busy girl. I won't always have time to update. I'll try my best. I always have to be in a certain mood to write, but I really want to be able to beta read, so it's either I write five stories or have a story with 6,000 words. 6,000 words is my goal for this story.

Also, I wrote this really late and it was kind of a random spur that I had. I hope it turns out well. Excuse any grammar mistakes and/or spelling mistakes. It's late and I'm tired.

Review please, I'm always up for criticism, even if I don't agree with it. We all have different views and interpret stories differently.
