The Next Princess Diaries OCTOBER
October 7, Monday Here in my little room
Hey it's me Ellisabeth Helen Moscovitz. Geez I have no idea why my Grandmother wants me
to start to keep a diary. Why do I live with my Grandmother instead with my regular parents?
Because my parents are allways so busy that they thought it best that I live with her. And
have a simple life. What do my parents do? I have no idea. See they keep it a secret even
from me. Yup they keep it a secret from me. So I really have not the slightest clue to what
my parents do for a living. Am I pretty? No way! As if. I have this really scrangely dark
blond hair that is allways really messy no matter what I do to keep it neat. I have hazel
colored eyes. It really is horrible. Any way my Grandmother said that my parents would be in
town in a week. I have only seen my parents three times in my whole life. Seriously this may
sound really weird but it's true. This is my life.
My best friend Sara Lynn Fisher says that she thinks my parents are international spies
or something like that if I have only seen them three times in my whole life. But then again Sara
allways is creating a fanasty world. I really can't blame her our real lifes are so boring as
they are. Sometimes I have actually dreamed that my parents do work for the government or
they are lord and lady of another far off country. My mom is really pretty her hair is really
nice it's like she has it styled every week by a famous hair desginer or something. And my
father is really handsome. So I guess they really could turn out to be spies or nobility.
At school today Allan Fredrick Jemmings looked at me and said "Hey" to me! Allan is the
cutest boy I have ever seen! Seriously I am not kiding! But then of course I did something
really geeky of myself. I dropped my glasses. Gosh did I tell you that I wear glasses? Well
I do. It isn't pretty. I must have the geekiest glasses in the whole entire world.
Any way where do I go to school? I go to Susan B. Anthony High School. Am I the popularest
girl there? You've got to be kidding me! Diana Wanda Sampson is. Diana is the captian of the
Drill Team. At Susan B. Anthony High School they try to live up to who the school was named
after. They didn't want a Cheerleading Squad because it sounded sexist so they called it a
Drill Team instead. Aunt Lilly says that my school is like the school where she and Mom went
to. I really miss Aunt Lilly. But Aunt Lilly lives in New York. My grandmother wanted to move
to L.A. for some odd reasons she couldn't tell me. I really think it's because New York was filled
with too many memories of my Step Grandfather. Gosh! I am becoming sappy like I usually do.
Anyway Mark Fisher Sara's brother says that I am sappy. I think Mark is really good looking.
But I wouldn't dare tell Sara this. Really would you tell your best friend that you thought
her brother was good looking. The same brother that put gum in your hair in the third grade?
I think not.
Sara says that I hold up my feelings inside of me and that is why I have such a miserabel
life. I asked her why she thought I had a miserabel life. She said since the fact that I never
smile that much. I guess she's right.
October 8, 2001 MTA Bus Stop
I must be the luckest girl in the world. I got to see Allan and Diana kiss again today. Yup
that's right I got to see them kiss. See Diana has the second locker down from mine so I
constantly get to see them exchange saliva. Diana and Allan are almost allways if they aren't
talking are exchanging saliva. For once I wish Allan would exchange saliva with me but then
again I don't have a size D cup. For a matter of fact I have only a size A cup. I know really
pittful. But Mark doesn't care he says he doesn't care what a girl's cup size is. But then
again Mark has only dated two girls in his whole life Charise and Mckayla. Did I tell you
Mark's a senior? Sara and I are sophmores. But it was really good though just to have a senior
guy tell you that it's okay for you to have a size A cup.
So also Diana came up to me and teased me. She said that they where holding second string
Drill Team try outs and she was wondering if I would show up for practice In two weeks. I of
course said probably not. I really do dance well Sara, Heather, Nina, and Carrie all say so even
Dean one of Allan's friends who was walking by Sara and my lunch area said so. Maybe I should
go out for the Drill Team but then I don't want to lose my friends even if I don't have that
many and I would make more if I even made second string. One good thing at Susan B. Anthony
is that the captian doesn't choose the team. The coach, assiant coach, and a dance teacher from
the community choose who makes it.
Another question I have on life is why does it allways seem that the best looking guy like
Allan date your worst enemy like Diana? Life can make it self so harsh. Like the fact that
even though I am fifteen Grandmother doesn't let me go to this teen dance club called Beat.
Even Sara can go and she has the strictest parents ever in the history at Susan B. Anthony
but my Grandmother the lady who says that I can stay out till three in the morning won't let
me go to Beat. Grandmother says though that I can go once I turn fifteen and a half which will
be in three months. Why half a year? She says because that is when I can start to drive with
a permit. When my Mom comes into town I am going to tell her about this injustice. Hopefully
she and Dad will let me go to Beat.
How did class go today? I got a fairly good grade on my biology exam and I didn't do
too badly on my French quiz. Why French and not Spanish? Well my Grandmother and Mom forced me
to take it. They wouldn't let me take Spanish. Talking about my Mom and Dad, they called today.
The converstation was quite well interesting my Mom and Dad seem more like my grandparents and
my Grandmother seems more like my Mom. When I stay with Grandma and Grandpa they feel more
like my parents instead. I go visit them in New York every summer for three weeks. They used
to be pshycoanlistists but they are really cool they are loose. They let me go to the teen dance
clubs in New York. I once asked Mom and Dad if I could live with Grandma and Grandpa but they
said no to this. I'm sure your asking about my Grandfather well I have only seen him once when
I recived my First Holy Communion. Ohh yeah I'm different from the rest of my family. I decided
to become Catholic. Sara once brought me to mass with her when I spent the night and I really
liked it alot so I decided to recive my sacraments. I have been baptized, I have gone to my first
Confession and I have recived my First Holy Communion. Now every Sunday I go to mass with Sara
and we are in the proccess of getting Confrimed. So we go to Confrimation class every Monday.
Yesterday we didn't have class because it was cancled because they couldn't get a room for the
class. So yeah I only saw my Grandfather once. I can't wait for the Confirmation retreat Mark
is coming since he is going to present at it. I've got to go my Grandmother is calling me down
to dinner.
October 10 Thursday Study Hall
Sorry I couldn't write yesterday I actually have decided that yes I will go out for the
Drill Team. I came to this decsion yesterday. When I told Grandmother about it she said if the
Drill Team was what I really wanted to have. I told her I wasn't doing it for popularity that I
was doing it because I love to dance so much. She just didn't want me to try out for popularity
like I'd really do something like that. Yesterday I also got my monthly progress report. I'm still
getting a C- in public speaking. Yes another subject I was forced to take. In French I'm getting
a plain C in geometry I'm getting a B in English I'm getting a B in biology I'm getting a B.
and those type of grades. Allan said a word to me he actually said hello again! Today when I
told Sara, Heather, Nina, and Carrie that I was going out for Drill Team they all had different
reactions Heather and Nina said, "That's so cool just think about wearing the uniform!" Carrie
and Sara's reaction was a little more like my Grandmother's. "It's just for the popularity huh?"
Well that was very nice of them to say when they where supposed to be supporting me. But I didn't
want to ruin my friendship with Sara and Carrie over something like that. Now that would be
stupid. But when I went to sign up on the Drill Team board and then Diana and her friends showed
up.
"So Little Miss. Moscovitz has decided to try out for second string huh? I'll be sure to
put a good word to the judges for you," Diana teased her friends just joined in giggling after
her. Geez I think Diana's friends are more annoying than Diana herself because they have no mind
to think for themselves. Mark says that he aggrees with me on that fact. Today I went to Sara's
house after school. Sara and I did something really embarrassing we studied our breasts. Sara even
at least has a BB cup bra. Lord, I am so behind the mammary glands huh? Again Mark comforted me
by telling me that at least I had a reason to wear a bra. I guess he is right that I am lucky to
actually be wearing a size A bra. Nina says that she hardly has an exuse to wear a trainers bra
now that IS embarrassing. Another thing that happend is that I actually got a letter from my
Grandfather. He wishes me a happy halloween and he sent me get this 500 dollars! Really
he did. Grandfather has allways sent me large sums of money. Once for my thirteenth birthday he
sent me A THOUSAND dollars. I saved some of that up with other large deposits of money he has
sent me before. The bank must really enjoy helping me deposit the checks Grandfather sends me.
Today while I was in geometry I saw this guy Jason who by the way is the sophmore brother
of Allan looking at Shellia Caren Sabatos. It turns out that he was actually looking at Sara.
How can Sara get a guy like Jason. Ohh did I tell you that Shellia is one of Diana's groupies and
her sophmore cousin. Jason's also on the track team. Today I saw Carrie and Nina with two guys
yup even they atract guys. What is wrong with me? I seriously think it's that I can't go to Beat
while Sara, Nina, and Carrie can. The only friend I know that hasn't gotten a guy's attention
and also can't go to Beat is Heather. Today Heather and I complained over the fact that we can't
go to Beat while our other friends can. Heather's only fourteen. In a month she's going to turn
fifteen but untill then she also can't go. I keep on telling Grandmother that Heather will be
able to go to Beat once she turns fifteen but as allways Grandmother is relentless to her oringinal
descision not to let me go untill I turn fifteen and a half. Geez life can really suck.
October 11, Friday French Class
I got great news! There finally is going to be a good concert at our school. Saturn's Rings is coming
to perform at our school! Saturn's Rings is one of the best groups out there. Grandmother says since
it's at school I can go. She says also that she is coinsidering letting me go to Beat if I can
get an A on this really big French test that is going to happen in a week. She actually said that
she must be in a good mood. Or maybe Mom and Dad's visit is scaring her. She wants to show them
that even at the ripe age of seventy two that she can still raise me as a good single mother should.
Today I again inspected my breasts they grew only about an sixteenth of an inch since two months ago.
Still they are not ready for a AA cup. I am asking you good God to give me a bigger bra cup size soon
so I can actually maybe make it on the Drill Team. Even the judges are biased in what type of ideal-
istic body they want for the Drill Team. Today Allan looked at me as he got his books from Diana's
locker.(They sometimes share a locker)Diana also made fun of me again today. She actually got the
nerve to go and call me Ellisabeth today. Nobody calls me Ellisabeth except my elders in any
case. Everyone usually goes and calls me Ellisa or Bethie. Bethie is my old nickname my new nickname
is Ellisa. Here is exactly how it went:
Diana: Hey Ellisabeth I hope you can improve your bra size before the try outs they
look for a body. Right girls?
Shellia: Yeah I know cousin. Don't the rules even state that you have to be abel to
cover them with at least two band-aids?
Diana:Your right little cousin I think the rules specificaly state that.
Gwenth(One of D's group): Diana you know that you taught the rules to Shellia so that
she would memorize them by heart!
Diana:That's right. Ohh well Ellisabeth I guess that it will be interesting to see if
you make the team or not.
Of course then after they left I went running for the bathroom. I was going to cry my eyes out
but I have never wanted to cry them out before when Diana's teased me. But today something happened
that just made me want to cry. As I was going to I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran into
by accident Mark. And then by accident my books fell out of my hands and onto the floor. Mark then
quikly helped me scoop all my stuff up and I was doing the same. Then for a long two mintues our
hands touched. I have had this happen before. Where Mark and I brush hands for a moment. But I
have never blushed about it before in my life. God blushing about Mark in front of him was humiliating!
"Moscovitz you've got to slow down. I did not see Allan dream boy go by. What was the rush?"
"You would never understand you are a guy," I said trying to hold back tears.
"I have a sister you know that girl Sara that you call best friend. Try me," he said. Looking
at me seriously.
"Well Diana and her little group just made fun of the fact that I'm less developed than they
are. I've never cried about it before but today I just guess I had to let it out. It hurts so
badly to have her tease me about something I can't really help," I told him crying. He then
put his arm on my shoulder.
"Come on let's get you to your' next class," he said as he took my French book and my
assigment notebook. We then walked to my French class. We got there right as the bell rung.
Madame Dupall started on Passe Compose. Which translated means past forms. We studied avoir
and permettre. Lord Jason wouldn't take his eyes off Sara. Lord what does Sara have that I
don't? Ohh yeah a size BB cup.
Passe Compose of Permettre and Avoir
J'ai Permis J'ai Eu
Tu as Permis Tu as Eu
Elle a Permis Elle a Eu
Il a Permis Il a Eu
Nous avons Permis Nous avons Eu
Vous avez Permis Vous avez Eu
Ils/ Elles ont Permis Ils/Elles ont Eu
Friday Night Carrie's Place
I really am astonished that Grandmother let me come here tonight. Remember my parents are
coming in the day after tommorow. Last time they came Grandmother made me straighten out my
room at least three times before they came to visit. Why is my Grandmother affraid of my Mom
for crying out loud my Mom would be HER daughter. But any way I am at Carrie's with Sara. Nina's
parents said that they would be taking her shoping for a new bed tommorow so she had to stay
home. We just watched Tommorow's Going to Come in the format of a DVD. Carrie's parents are super
rich lawyers so they live in a huge house in Beverly Hills and Carrie has her own phone line,
TV, VCR, and DVD Player in her giantic room. She also has a whirl pool option in her bath tub.
I don't think that Grandmother would be abel to afford a place like Berk's(Carrie's last name)
have in a million years. They also have a fairly good sized pool. Not counting the spa and
tennis courts. The Berks also have a personal maid come tri weekly to clean the house. They
also have a live in cheif to cook for them and a live in butler who greets guest and helps
them around the house. Carrie is so lucky. Sara also has a house like Carrie's. Carrie
and Sara are almost next door neighbors. Sara lives two houses down from Carrie.
We had a disscussion about boys. This converstation took a fairly odd turn. We had decided
to turn it into a truth as from truth or dare but without any dares.
"Ellisa truth whom would you like to French kiss? Allan or Mark," Was that one out of
the blue.
"Well Allan no duh," I said. Then it came back to me again.
"So truth Ellisa if you could for the rest of your life only see one guy in this whole
world with out a shirt who would you choose?" Sara asked me. I had to really think about this
after all Mark was extremely good looking without a shirt he has this tan that is gorgeous and
even without it he looks good without a shirt. But then again could I tell this to Sara? I guess
I could have just said Allan.
"I guess Mark he's the only guy I have seen without a shirt after all," I said hoping that
my reason was good enough so they wouldn't tease me about it.
"Ohh I knew it Ellisa likes Mark Ellisa likes Mark," Sara said in glee. Lord now I wish
I would have said Allan. Really boy was I regreting it.
"Okay Sara truth is it true that you have feelings for Jason Jemmings and that he has
feelings for you?" I asked hoping to find out why he liked her.
"Well we did decide to have lunch togther today. It turns out that Jason really likes
creative writting. He says that if his brother didn't make him join the track team he'd be
on the creative writting team with me," Sara said. Sara is the president of the creative writting
team and I am vice president. That just made me remember what if Drill Team got in the way of
that? That was a team that Sara and I started last year when we just got to Susan B. Anthony.
Did I ever mention that Susan B. Anothony is a private school? Well it is. Mom and Dad pay my
tution bill.
"So does he have feelings for you or not?" Carrie asked Sara just as thirsty for details
as I was.
"Well he did ask me to the Halloween Hop," Sara said blushing. The Halloween Hop was a
dance that our school is going to put on in three weeks at Beat. My grandmother said I could
go to Beat for this because it was a school function. Only I have a major problem I haven't
got a date for it. Mrs. Berk just came in here telling us to hit the hay. Good night.
October 13, Sunday Hall of St. Cecila's Catholic Church.
Ohh gosh! Grandmother is late on picking me up from Chruch. I could take the bus but it goes
thru South Central LA to get to my house. Let me tell you even if you paid me a thousand bucks
and had Allan kiss me I wouldn't walk thru South Central LA without a friend. Sara's family
left half an hour ago. Thru Mass today when we where saying the Our Father and Mark and I had
to hold hands Mark blushed and I did too. Guess who came to mass with Sara? One clue lover boy.
Yeah Jason came. I think he wants to be with Sara every moment he can. Why can't Allan be like
that too me? This totally sucks. Ohh lord. Allan just showed up to bring Jason home. He looked at
me! Write more later.
Sunday Still Waiting.
Yes it has been nearly two hours since mass let out and Grandmother still hasn't showed up.
I'm going to call home if she doesn't show up in fifteen minutes. I can't bear to hear the Camerings
Widow play when the Saints come marching in one more time. Any way Allan did come over to talk
too me. Yes me of all people. Here is how it went:
Allan: Hey your one of Sara's friends right?
Me:Yeah. Ellisabeth Moscovitz.
Allan:Your that girl that Diana said was trying out for second string.
Me:Yeah I'm going out for second string.
Allan:That's neat. Where's Jason? He said that he'd be around here.
Me:He was waiting for your parents over in the front of church.
Allan:Thanks see you around. Good luck!
Ohh gosh I actually had something that I can call a converstation with Allan Jemmings. I
can not wait to tell Carrie, Sara, and Nina about this! Except for Sara Carrie and Nina will
be so jealous. Allan has never had the time or day to talk to them. Even if it was just to
ask where his brother was. And he actually wished me good luck on the try outs! Grandmother
just showed up. Ohh my gosh she's with Mom and Dad!
Sunday Ladies Room Mirimar Sheraton Hotel
Why am I at the Mirimar Sheraton? My Mom and Dad's visit. Well I just got the most amazing
news. I'll let you guess what it is. Okay I won't make you guess. Mom can't have any other
kids. Aparently a couple of months back she got this really bad vagina infection. Gosh I can
barely write the word vagina. It sounds so gross. But any way the only way to get rid of it
was to have Mom's tubes tied. Yes she actually had to go and have them do that to her so now.
Yes now she couldn't tell me this before. The reason why I am not fully an American Citizen.
The fact that I am an imagrant. I knew I was an imagrant my whole life I just never knew and
all the time I asked Grandmother where I was from she would never tell me where I was born.
Well aparently I was born in this really small country called Genovia. Yes a place called
Genovia. I didn't even know that a place called Genovia existed. But guess what? My Mom is
the princess of Genovia. Once Grandfather dies she will become the crowned princess of Genovia.
She says that Grandfather will die real soon. I asked her what she meant by real soon. She said
within five years. She says that she will have to start to train me to become the next princess
of Genovia.
"What do you mean you have to train me to become the next princess of Genovia? Why do I
need to become a princess of Genovia. Except the fact that I am kinda of a geek in my school,
I like my life a good fair amount,"
"Honey you are the closest thing that we could get you where born with a quater of royal
Genovian blood in you that's more than enough for you to become the princess of Genovia. We would
ask some one else but they don't have royal blood,"Mom I mean Princess Amelia said. Gosh I never
even knew my Mom and Dad's name before today. That is pretty pathetic.
"Gosh Mom I really would like to say that I would love to be the next princess but I
don't thanks for the offer but no thanks," I said polietly. But then my Mom looked sadly at
me.
"Sorry honey but you don't have a choice. This is not an offer it is a demand. Because
techinally you are Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod Princess of
Genovia. Not just plain Ellisabeth Helen Moscovitz. I am so sorry honey I had to tell you like
this but there was no other way for you to be told. Your father and I where hoping that maybe
I could have another child once Grandpere died." She said so I wouldn't have to become a princess
but no a stupid infection had to go into her vaginia(eeeeeewwwwwwwww again) and make the doctors
tie her tubes. Apparently problems with sexual organs run in my family since my mom told me about
how she became Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renalod was that out of wedlock Grandmother
and Grandpere had her. Grandmother raised her in New York then untill she was fourteen then around
that time Grandpere had one of his testicels(triple eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww again!) removed so he
couldn't have any more children so then Mom became the Princess. She and Aunt Lilly where best
friends and she and Dad fell in love. So then they got married even out of Great Grandmere's
wishes. Wouldn't that teach Mom and Dad about having as many children as you can before something
like that happend? But noooooooooo. They only wanted one child(me) so they decided once Mom
had to start doing more and more Princess type things, that they would let my Grandmother raise
me. At that time I was only one and a half years old. So a year after that Step- Grandfather
died Grandmother moved here to L.A.
"So if Grandmother and Grandpere kept it a secret from you untill you where fourteen wouldn't
you want to not do that to me?" I asked.
"Ohh Darling your Mother and I wanted you to have a fairly normal life here with Grandmother
and get a good education. You are getting a good education here at Susan B. Anthony right?"
Dad asked me. It turns out that Dad is Prince Michael. Gosh now come to think about it I think
I read an articel about a Princess Amelia and Prince Michael once they where going to a ball
in honor of the birth of Prince Toni of another fairly small country called Swisanaberg. I never
would think those where my parents. It even had a picture of them! Gosh how stupid could I be?
"Mom, Dad I don't even know how to act like a princess let alone act like one!" I nearly shouted
at them we where in this resturant type place. I hope I didn't disturb the other people.
"That is why I am staying here. Your father and I are going to let you stay at Susan B.
Anthony for your high school education and live with Grandmother except you have to stay with
us during Christmas break, Easter break, and the summer and while I am staying here I would like
you to stay here two weekends every month. I want to catch up on getting to know my own daughter,"
Mom said. Now you want to get to know about your only living daughter. Now that I am going to
become a princess.
"But I don't look like a princess Mom look at me! I am a wreak. I could never look like
you," I cried to my Mom.
"Ohh honey you would never guess what I looked like when I was your age," My Mom said taking
out a school photo of herself when she was my age before Great Grandmere came and took over
her life. She told me about this. Ohh gosh! Mom has just come in here looking for me got to go.
October 15, Monday Study Hall
Okay so I have to tell you what happend yesterday after I came out of the restroom. Well it
is going to happen Mom is going to teach me how to be a true real life princess. Yes I will
have to spend every other weekend with Mom and Dad untill Christmas. Then I will have to
go with Mom and Dad back to Genovia. Then after Christmas break I will come back here and
again stay with Mom and Dad in the Mimar Sheraton every other weekend. Grandmother refuses to
give up custody though untill I am out of high school. Also next Sunday my Mom is going to take
me shoping for clothes and take me to get "made over". My Mom says that she will even get me
fitted for contact lenses. Also when I told her about Drill Team she really is excited for the
fact that I am going out for it. Also she doesn't want me telling any one of my friends about
the fact that I am a princess. Oh no! Mr. Cooper caught me writing!
Later Monday, Geometry
Gosh! Will Jason stop looking at Sara! He's stared at her the whole class. I wonder what his
grade for geometry is since he's developed a crush on Sara. Ohh yeah Mom said that she promised
me that she would not teach me the way Great Grandmere taught her. From what Mom told me about
the way Great Grandmere taught her and if Mom did teach me the way Great Grandmere did I promised
her very strongly(because I'm Catholic and I don't swear) that I would run away. Today Diana
came up to me and looked at me and laughed she didn't even say any insulting things. In a way
this is more insulting than having her say anything to me at all. I almost blabed out to her
that I was Princess Ellisabeth. I still can't belive that she dared to call me Ellisabeth.
Mom said that probably that the length of time we can keep the fact that I am a princess a secret
for at the most three weeks. Miss. Nomon just looked at me and isn't looking happy.
Discreate Geometry:
October 16, Tuesday MTA
Why am I getting neverous? Try outs are going to be in four days on Friday. The people on
the bus are looking at me. There are a couple of people who are allways on the bus. One of
them is this really old guy who allways is either reading a book about World War 2 or
something about that genere. I think it is that he's a WW2 veteran by the fact that he is
really into that stuff. Then there is this twenty five year old woman who must work at
Bloomingdales. She is allways bitting her nails. My stop is coming up got to go.
October 20,Friday My Bedroom
Gosh! Try outs where today five people besides me tried out. They are going to need five
people. That means that one of us is not going to make the second string. I found out that
second string means that you are a regular Drill Team member but you go with the regular team
to parades. But for serious competitions you are like an understudy for one of regular members.
Just in case something happens to them.
I think that I probably have a good chance seeing that Tina Somberg is REALLY uncordinated
I probably have a big chance of making it. Even if Tina Somberg has a perfect size C cup I'm
sure they want more talent than disfunction. Of course Diana was there you should have seen her
when she saw me trying out! Her eyes went really small then they almost dialated in this odd
way. The judges say that they liked my ten hut the best. They say I have got discipline and
figure. The results are going to be posted on Monday. They say that if you are on even second
string that you get to wear the uniform to school three times a week that doesn't even include
spirit days and prestination days. Remember I told you that I go to a private school? Well we
have to wear uniforms. The principal says that they help unify our school so less presure is
put on students to wear the popular thing and that means that we can pay attention to class
better. But I would really like to get out of wearing my plaid skirt and oxford blouse three
times a week and extra events for a very short dark green pleided skirt, in cold weather a
turtel neck and the drill team uniform top. Gosh just thinking about it makes me want to
become a drill team member even more than ever! I have to go Mom and Dad just came for dinner.
October 21, Saturday
Oh my gosh! I have been praying all this time(well ever since Friday after school) that I
get onto the Drill Team. It would be so neato to get onto it. But ohh no not for Sara and
Carrie both say that Drill Team is the bane of their existence. I really think that deep
down they want to be on the team too. Diana called me. Yes that's right DIANA SAMPSON called
ME ELLISA. She said that she thought I was pretty impresive at try outs. She says that even
though I don't have big enough breasts that she suspects that I will get on to the team. Then
she started acting really nice to me. But at the end she said if I do become a member of
the team that I have an automatic and almost obligational inviation to sit with her and her
group. I told her though that my best friend for ever will be Sara. She said that maybe if
I did make it that Sara could sit with the team a couple times. I don't even know how Diana
got my number in the first place. Grandmother since she doesn't want people staking us on
the phone doesn't list our number in any phone book. I guess once some one is destined to
become one of her groupies she will work at finding their number through sources. Today I
got on my compture guess who was on? Mark. His screen name is CMANCMAN which stands for Christs
Man and Catholic Man. He is really into being a Catholic. If I didn't become Catholic my
parents where going to make me Jewish. My Dad is Jewish. But I became Catholic and I am
strong about my Catholic belife in Jesus Christ and that he died for our sins on the cross.
I also love everything about Mary about how pure she was. She is the woman I most admire for
her strength. Geez! The woman had to bear and watch her son die on a cross and have people
tease him and tourture him. I know I couldn't have the strength to go through with that.
CMANCMAN:Hey Moscovitz sup?
Ellisagurlie:NOTHING!
CMANCMAN:Sorry for asking. Lover boy called to ask you to the Halloween Hop yet?
Ellisagurlie:What ARE you talking about?
CMANCMAN:The guy that you would love to French kiss. Mr.Allan remember he's one of my
friends I could put a good word in for you.
Ellisagurlie:You wouldn't dare!!!
CMANCMAN:Please don't yell. If you stop I'll put on my internet camera on and take off
my shirt.
Ellisagurlie:U'r SO funny.
CMANCMAN:Thank you for the compliment.
Ellisagurlie:So Sara really did tell you about truth last week huh?
CMANCMAN:Yup. You guessed right Moscovitz.
Ellisagurlie:I'm so gonna kill her.
CMANCMAN:Please do me a favor and don't kill my sister she's my only sibiling
and I would perfer it if she still was alive.
Ellisagurlie:Ohh I would never kill Sara she's my best friend.
CMANCMAN:I would hope so.
Ellisagurlie:Thanks Mark for cheering me up. That day when Diana said mean things to
me.
CMANCMAN:No problem hope you get on!
Ellisagurlie:Thanks!
CMANCMAN:Hey Ellisa need some one to go with to the Halloween Hop? I'd take you so that
you don't have to worry.
Ellisagurlie:Thanks Mark. But if Allan askes me out you know I'll go with him.
CMANCMAN:Kay bye Ellisa..
Ellisagurlie:All of a sudden why are you starting to call me Ellisa? You allways have
called me Moscovitz.
CMANCMAN:I wanted to see how it felt to call you Ellisa instead of Moscovitz for once.
Ellisagurlie:Uh um......
CMANCMAN: Got to go Moscovitz!
Well enough being said that was pretty odd convestation to have with Mark in the first place.
Ohh yeah my parents came over for dinner last night because they where signing forms for custody
type stuff and Genoviain goverment documents. I'm also sorry that I haven't been able to write
much untill yesterday. See I had to go to meetings about drill team try outs. Also Mom hired
me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday a private dance trainer Madame Jesuqie. I think
one reason why I did so well in try outs was thanks to Madame Jesuqie guess what? Starting
next week I am going to have to be dropped off at school. Mom is afraid that like her soon
after my make over it won't be safe for me to take the MTA. In the first place before I
even knew I was a princess I knew the MTA is a dangerous system. Once a crazy man came up
to me and started to ask me personal stuff I knew from the first glance that he was crazy so
I ignored him. But no before she told me I was a princess she didn't care about how un safe
the MTA was. Also I will enjoy getting taken to school by my Mom and Dad's chauffer Frank.
He took us home from the Sheraton last Sunday. He is really funny. But get this Mom and Dad
don't ride in a regular car they ride around in a limo. Yes I did say limo. But another thing
that I don't like about the MTA is that it is a long way from home. It takes about an hour to
get to the bus stop which is at the bottom of the big steep hill that I live on. Carrie's
parents have Carrie taken to school by the buttler Mr.Geraldson take her to school in their
limo. Carrie's limo is only a regular limo but Mom and Dad's was a stretch limo. I could
fit all my friends into it, Mark, and maybe half of the drill team in it. I am not kidding.
Gosh Mom is coming over soon to have our first day of princess lesons. She says that from
the time we start princess lesons untill we stop I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette
Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod. Not Ellisa Helen Moscovitz.
October 22, Sunday A Bench in the Glendale Galleria
For once I am going to swear but I will have to go to confession. GOD I don't know who that
is looking at me in this compact mirror that I have out. Seriously I don't okay so here's
how the day went so far. First thing after church Frank picked me up. Mom was allready in
the backseat. I wondered what was going on. I started to figure it out when we came to an
optomistrist building. I knew that I was going to get fitted for my contacts. The situtation
of getting them was pretty boring it took two hours. But then soon enough I got them and then
we headed back to the limo. Soon we where buzzing off some other place. We stopped in front of
the of a office buliding. Mom then took me and headed for a hair studio. Once we got there the workers
shooed every one out. Gosh it was so embarrasing. Having the whole place cleared out for me.
Then the man took me and looked at me. He looked deep in thought. He then talked with my Mom.
She nodded a couple of times then. The man whom I found out was Farado sat me down in a chair
and he had his whole team go and dye my hair light blond very light. They then made it really
wavy with a perm. My hair looked like one of the members of this very popular girl band
Starz Again. They then did a whole big facial even including cumbers. They did everything
to me. The whole proccess even including a manicure and pedicure took three hours. They then
experimented with a bunch of make up stuff on my face. After that I was pretty tried I really
just wanted to go home but then Mom and I got into the car and headed for the Galleria. She
then headed to a store that you had to have an appointment to use. Once we got there we bought
a ton of stylish clothes. I just wanted to buy a couple pair of jeans and some tops but no
Mom wouldn't let me all she bought me where cool and stylish clothes. Honestly I wish that it
wouldn't feel like she hates every thing about me. Oh here she comes.
October 23, Monday Geometry
Gosh I'm so bored in this class today. All we are talking about are stupid verticel angles.
Guess what? Okay so I won't keep you guessing I made the team as first girl! That means that
I'm first in line if they need a replacement for any big competitions. When I saw it I almost
fainted. But thankfully I didn't. When Sara saw me at school today she freaked out big time.
She wondered what had happend to me. I told her that it was because of my parents' visit Grandmother
is now making me wear all this stuff. Sara was none the smarter about me being a princess. Then
right after I explained this to her we went past the front board where the teachers place all
the annoucments and stuff. There it was. The list that had the members of the second string
drill team. I looked at it hoping I was on it in the first place then I saw it at the top. I could
hardly belive it. When Sara saw this she turned pale. I'm not kidding when I say in my life I
had never seen her so pale.
"Sara what's wrong?" I asked Sara hoping to find out what scared her to death.
"YOU ARE THE FIRST GIRL??? YOU MADE IT!?!?!?!?!" She then started crying after she finished
her sentence.
"Is that bad?" I asked unaware if she was happy sad or sad sad or mad sad.
"You are such a bimbo what did you try out for?" She stated back looking at me with much
anger.
"I like dancing. I also wanna be a part of something else outside of creative writing. It's
not that I don't like creative writing, it's just that I want to expand my horzions," I said.
"Well you can join the computer club if you want to expand your horizons," Sara said in
a really high pitched voice.
"Ellisa hello, remember your invite to sit with us, our tabel is right outside on the
cafetria balcony. See you there," Diana said gloating past me.
"You know what Ellisa, I want you to go sit with them at lunch, I dare you too. All they
are being nice to you is because you are now on the drill team," Sara said hissing like a snake.
What is her problem? Doesn't she want me to be happy? Then she left me standing there. I guess
Shellia saw this and pointed it out to Diana. They then came up to me.
"So you got into a fight with Miss. Fisher huh?" Diana said flouncing her nice hair.
"Yeah I can't belive her! She's supposed to be happy for me I just got some great news,"
I said looking at Sara while she was at her locker.
"Yeah I guess she was only your friend because she just wanted to use you some way," Shellia
said.
"Ellisa your hair looks really good," Gwenth said.
"Thanks," I said pushing a strand behind my ear.
"Ohh did you see Mark Fisher Sara's brother today? He looks SO fine," Willa another one
of Diana's friends who is on the team said.
"Yeah he really is something. But I have Allan and I heard he's already taking a girl to
the dance. Who ever she is must be something. Mark is totally fine," Diana said dreamily.
"I know who he's taking to the dance," I said shyly.
"WHO?" Diana and all her friends asked me looking like kids waiting for candy.
"He's taking me. He asked me Saturday," I said.
"He is? Wow you are like so lucky," Willa said
"Maybe Sara was just being your friend so that she could hook her brother up with you,"
Diana said suggestivly.
"I don't think so. We've been best friends since pre-school. At that time Mark would have
only been eight years old," I said looking at Diana.
"How'd you get your hair to be so nice and fluffy?" Shellia asked me looking at my hair.
"Well I got it permed. Do you guys like it that much?" I asked unsure what the answer would
be.
"We all love it. Also you look pretty without glasses you should have gotten contacts a long
time ago," Allan said butting in. I guess if Allan said something they all would aggree with
no questions asked because they all noded their heads. Then the sadly the bell rung singaling
the beging of the day of these awfull things they call classes. Oh no she's caught me! G2G!
Monday, Mirimar Sheraton
I just finished princess lessons with Mom. She taught me today how to talk like how to win a debate,
sound knowledgeable, and know the basic phrases of fifteen languages. She also says that if I
show up again to princess lessons in my boots she would take them and cut them up. She wants
me to wear high heels, nylons, lipstick, and eye shadow. Also I have to have my hair neatly brushed
out before I come. Frank told me this really funny joke. Honestly he's not a bad chauffer.
He told me this knock knock joke about a princess. He made me laugh about being a princess. He's
got a gift I tell you a real gift. Grandmother was really uptight this morning when Frank
came to get me. She kept on asking him to repeat the directions that she gave him on how to
get to Susan B. Anthony. I felt really sorry for Frank at this time. I guess he has some sympathy
for me too seeing how I'm a princess and all. Mom also saw my French quiz before princess lessons
today she looked at the score and started to go on and on in French in words that I hardly understood
but I could pick up a couple of phrases like Je suis zut! This translated means I am darned. I guess
she would have used stronger language if she knew I hadn't taken any French at all but she didn't.
I saw Dad a half a hour ago. He is also worried about my safety he like Grandmother is worried
that I'll get abducted by some international spy or kidnapper. Gosh! My father and Grandmother
could care less about my safety before all this princess stuff happend. Actually the thought of
getting abducted by an international spy sounds kinda interesting. I am embarrassed to write this
down but I have had fantasies of getting abducted by this international spy man Waren who I created
in my dreams. Waren is perfect he has the face of Allan, he has the body of Mark, and he has
the personality of James Bond. Every time in my dreams Waren wants to abduct me because I am actually
the daughter to a rich land owner. Well I guess in some decent respect my fantasies HAVE come
true. I AM a princess. I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod.
I just counted the number of names in that and that is seven names. Another gosh! I don't think
that any other girls or guys in my school have seven names let alone five. I have to go now Frank
is ready to take me back home. One thing Mom said was that tommorow I should start to bring
things with me to princess lessons so that I can start to set up a room for myself. I want to
talk to Mom about this I don't want to leave Grandmother alone like that she allready lost Step-
Grandfather she doesn't need to loose me too.
October 25,Wednesday French
Yesterday princess lessons kinda $u(ked. Mom was having a headache yesterday so she took it out on me
I guess. Yesterday she assigned me to read this dumb book on how to be lady like. After all that hard
reading of how to sit properly, how to eat with good manners, how to introduce yourself, and
how to dance she made me take a small quiz. Honestly I am not kidding you she made me take a
quiz. I ended up scoring a really bad grade of five out of fifteen. This made Mom get an even
bigger headache and she said some more Juis suis zuts. I thought her promise to me was that she
wouldn't be so hard on me like Great Grandmere was. I talked with Dad while Mom took a tiney
nap. I actually don't dislike my Dad anymore. He's like Frank I guess. He said that Mom had
a headache that day because she was worrying about me. I then of course asked Dad why she worried
about me. He then said it was because I'm her only daughter, and that she doesn't want any reporters
finding out about me untill I'm ready. Dad told me how when Mom first found out that she was a
princess Great Grandmere called a reporter and told her the whole story. That's the type of worring
I guess Mom is worrying about. I also now feel bad for Mom having to worry if any one will tell
any reporters why she's here in L.A. and who I am. I hope the news about me doesn't leak out any
time soon. I am DEFINATELY not ready to handel the press. Now I also know why Mom wants me to
be chauffered to school instead of taking the bus. What if the story leaked out some how with
out my knowledge and I hoped on to the bus and some crazy nutcase kidnaps me or something like that
because I'm a princess. Ohh yeah. Sarah's still not talking to me today. For the past three
days I have been sitting with Diana, Shellia, Willa, Gwenth, Nadia, Ling Sung, and Freda. Yes
these are most of the regular drill team members. What do we talk about? Well guys, guys, guys,
and fashion. Monday all Diana, Willa, and Gwenth could think about was Mark. They wanted to help
me buy my dress for the Halloween Hop. I also never knew before having lunch with Diana and her
passe how complicated it was to plan one simple dress for a dance. I also got my uniform today.
Our first practice is going to be today after school. But right after practice I have to head
over to the Sheraton and have princess lessons with Mom. I put my uniform on right after I got it
I was so happy. But then Sarah came by with Carrie, Nina, and Heather. Carrie and Sarah looked
at me with ice cold eyes. I guess they where seeing what I had seen in Diana, Shellia, Gwenth,
and Willa before Monday. I honestly don't think they are that bad anymore they just are a bit
on the naive side of how they think they are supposed to act towards other non drill team members.
Actually how we treat them is no better than the way they treat us. I guess both sides are guilty
for making the other one not like them. Oops! Madame Dortheia is looking at me.
Later Wednesday
Good greif! My first day of drill team practice was harsh. Coach Watersons is tough. She made
us do fifty leg streches followed by a half a mile run. That was only warm up. It was followed
by two hours of learning a routine for our next performance. It turns out that I will definately
be doing the next couple of performances. Just today Willa by accident broke her leg. Yup the
word is that she won't be abel to do any drill team stuff for the next two and a half months.
So that means that for the next two and a half months I will be a regular good old drill team member
like the rest of the girls. Diana says that there will be a party at her house after school
next Friday. Ohh yeah Saturn's Rings is going to still come to our school but it's been post poned
untill they are done with their tour which is going on right now. The tour will end in a month
or two so they will not be coming any time soon. Ohh yeah Confirmation classes this week where
cool. We all got into this circle and told each other our thoughts on a scripture reading. I just
wish that Sara and I weren't still fighting it would have been better if we were able to be
more opened to tell our classmates stuff in sharing time. But no we both were filled with too
much pride to admit our flaws.
Mom was really nice to me during princess lessons today. She said that she was actually
sorry for being hard on me the past couple of lessons. Today she wanted me to speak with her in
French the offical language of Genovia. She also gave me culture lessons today. She is vegitarian
she says. I'm vegitiarian but not extreme I will eat a little bit of meat here and there. I hope
that she's like this allways. Grandmother came over to the Mimar for dinner today. We actually
had a friendly dinner converstation. Frank then drove Grandmother and me home after that. Mom
showed me also before I left the room I'm going to stay in this weekend. It is huge! It has three
big closets. Then the t.v. in it is twice the size of Carrie's big screen t.v. it also has a
DvD player and a VCR. It has a CD player. The bed oh my the bed is a queen sized bed. Mom also
bought me a bunch of cool CDs. Honestly I think she's starting to stop worrying about my safety.
Or maybe she's getting all I am a mother I should be happy. Grandmother thinks that Mom is going
to spoil me by buying me all this stuff. I don't she's spoling me at all. Oh no I have a big
three paged essay due for Mrs. Roberts. Mrs. Roberts is my English teacher. She's the moderator
for the creative writing team. So I have to be an excellent student for her she expects nothig
but the best from me. As you can see I have homework to do so I'm writting off.
October 26, Thursday Study Hall
Yes! Coach Watersons is not here today! That means no hard drill team practice. I heard from
Willa that Coach Watersons has never had a day of absence but I guess today she did. Mrs. Roberts
is the moderator for this study hall today. I already had her for English. She loved my three
paged essay. She tought it had artistic genius. Some people think that Mrs. Roberts shows favoritism
towards Sara and me, but she doesn't I really try to be a good student for her. According to
Shellia who sits by me in study hall teachers perfer boys over girls even though they never show
it. Okay at lunch we have a creative writing team meeting. I hope that Sara and I can get along
long enough to conduct a meeting.
Mark talked to me in the hall today. He wants to know who should get who for the Halloween
Hop. I told him that I'd pick him up since I have my limo. He wants to get me since it's considered
proper for a guy to take a girl to the dance not the other way around. I pointed it out that
he had asked so I volluntered. He nearly blushed. I never thought that a guy would blush over
me. It was completely odd to have it happen in the first place. But for some reason I can be
myself completely around Mark. While around Allan I would have never been able to get a word
out edgewise. Then the oddest thing happend. I'll have to write the whole converstation down.
"So Moscovitz would you like to do something after Mass on Sunday? I was thinking the
new movie Fred and Izzy. After that maybe we could have some lunch," Mark said.
"Well I have to check with my parents and Grandmother. But I'll im you after I get answers
to that question," I said casually. Then it hit me. Mark Fisher was asking me out on a date.
I must have gasped for air or something.
"Are you okay Moscovitz? Should I get some help?" Mark asked me.
"No I'm fine. So yeah I'll ask today I promise I'll get back to you by ten o' clock tonight,"
I told him. Oh my I have never been that nervous around Mark. Then the bell rung. Why must that
bell ring? I could honestly hate it. Mrs. Roberts is looking at me I better start to get to
work on my English homework.
Later Thursday
Yes! Mom, Dad, and Grandmother are going to let me go out with Mark. I've got some inspiration to
write something good. And more good news Sara and I have made up. We decided that for the good
of the creative writing team we have to get along and we had a big talk before the meeting. We
sorted out our feelings. I told Sara what I noticed. She felt really bad. She also told me that
she was afraid that she would loose me as a friend when I joined the team. I told her that I
would always be here friend no matter what happend. She then got her confidence back that I would
never turn against her like she thought I would. I then introduced her to Diana, Shellia, Willa,
Gwenth, Ling Sung, Nadia, and Freda. Surpizingly they were nice to Sara. They also of course
asked Sara a whole ton of questions about Mark. Sara answered them happily even if she knew
that they were only being nice to her because one Mark was her brother and two she was my best
friend. Tommorow I will be staying after princess lessons with Mom and Dad. I also asked Grandmother
today about Diana's party. She says she'll think about letting me go to it or not. I have to
go now Sara is on the phone and Grandmother says I have to pack so I can spend the weekend at
Mom and Dad's.
October 27, Friday Mom and Dad's
Okay I guess I kinda like living here with Mom and Dad. Room service is great! I'm not kidding
I can buy as much good for you foods as I like. Then Mom and Dad bought me a couple of DvDs
today I now have a collection of DvDs and Videos. Also my bed is HUGE. It is three times as
big as my bed and Grandmother's or Grandma and Grandpa's. I found out that I sleep in the same
bed as my Mom slept in while I'm at Grandma and Grandpa's apartment and the bed is in the same
room that Aunt Lilly had when she was living with Grandma and Grandpa. Aunt Lilly is coming to
visit in two weeks. All this time she has been living in Washington D.C. she's an intern at the
White House. She's going to run for govenor or something like that soon though. I think that
she would make a great politicain or govenor or what ever she is going to become.
Today dinner was okay I guess. Grandmother stayed for dinner. She kept on checking to see
if Mom knew how to take care and raise a child. Mom of course is capabel of this. I heard that
Mom actually kind of raised Grandmother when she was my age. I still kind of raise Grandmother.
I have to make sure she pays the bills with the check Mom sends her for child support. I have to
make sure that she has done the groccery shopping and other forms of shoping outside of the
grocceries.
After dinner was over with Santel one of the maids for Mom and Dad cleared the tabel for
desert. Desert was unhealthy but delicious. We had five kinds of choclate cake. Honestly Mom
says that I should know this for the next princess lessons because she'll test me on it. Gosh
Mom is strict but not that much. Also a young waiter boy came into the room with a golden box.
Mom and Dad said it was a present for me. I opened the box and found a tiny pearl necklace. Mom
said that it also was a necklace that Grandpere had gotten her for her fifteenth birthday and
this is a make-up gift for this year. My birthday this year was something I really don't want to
remember I had tripped in front of all my friends. It was completely embarrassing for me. Mom wants
us too talk. It's not going to be about princess stuff either, so guess what she wants to talk about?
Yes that's right she wants to talk about the s word. She already had to tell me in public that she
had a vaginal infection and she had to get her tubes tied. Now in private she wants to get all Miss.
Know it all in the s word? Not if I can help it. G2G Mom's coming and she wants to have the talk now.
One word: HELP ME! Okay two words.
October 28, Saturday Mom and Dad's.
I'm BORED! I've finished all my homework for the weekend. Now what am I too do? I can't call Sara.
What if she called *69 and found out that I was staying at the Mirimar Sheraton? She would find out
all about the princess thing. If she ever found out before I turn sixteen and can go to BEAT I
would absolutly die. Mom wants to go shoping for my dress for Sunday. She wants Mark to like me even
more. I felt like telling her: "Mom why can't he like me the way he does right now? What's wrong with me?"
But I don't personally have the guts to tell my Mom this.
Also Santel is actually cool. I started to talk to her today. She has worked for the English
Royal Family before at Buckingham Palace. She said that I would have fun playing with Princess Caroline
the second in line for the throne. The first in line for the throne is Prince Samuel. Lots of my
friends have major crushes on Prince Samuel. He's truly hot. But get this Mom says that she wants to
introduce me to Queen Anne. Prince Samuel and Princess Caroline are Queen Anne and King Peter's children.
Hopefully I will get to meet Prince Samuel if Mom ever does introduce me to Queen Anne. Apparently
Mom and Queen Anne are friends or aquantances. Dad left this morning right after breakfast. He
wanted to get some golfing done while here. Mom is now frantaicly trying to find a store who will make
me a Halloween Hop dress for the dance. Oh my gosh it is so totally embarrassing for me that I have
to find a store that will make a dress that is tall but not so totally big busted. WHY ME? WHY ME?
Okay, I know I should be kind on my Mom after all she only wants the best for me. The way Grandmother,
Dad, Grandpere, Grandma, and Grandpa do. But dear (I'm sorry I can't swear that well) Lord help me
not to strangle her before I turn fifteen and a half. I think I can still tell myself that at least
she isn't as bad as Great Grandmere. So what am I wearing today? I'm wearing a pair of hip hugging
bell bottom jeans with sequins on them, a tube top that has to be held up with super body glue,
a pair of cool black boots, and a purple headband. The phone is for me I have to go.
Later Saturday
Guess who was on the phone? Sara and Mark. I was wondering how they knew I was staying at the Mirimar Sheraton?
But Sara said that Grandmother told her when she called for me last night. Guess what Grandmother had
explained to Sara? She says that there is some sort of oil leak in my bedroom and that with Mom's fianical help
she's putting me up here. Sara can't belive that I'm going out with her brother. She has allways
wanted it to come true but never said anyting before. I asked her when she started to think of these
types of thoughts. She said since ninth grade. I guess then Sara isn't my best friend because Mark
wanted to be near me then I guess. So the Sunday movie and lunch with Mark is still on I guess. Mom
took me shopping like I told you. We now have successfully found a dress for the dance and for Sunday.
Dear me I know I should love my mother and all she went through nine hours of labor for me(Grandmother told
me this when I had to do a family project in seventh grade on the day you were born)and she worries over
me but it's really, really, really, really, really hard to do this when she says that you need a new
dress so a guy will like you. Why me? Why me? Why ME?
Later Saturday after dinner
My Grandpere's coming in to visit me in a couple of days. Okay now Mom is totally going to freak
she's going to make me use all my best manners and stuff like that. Mom was ultra strict at princess
lessons today, she gave me three stupid tests on what forks to use, the proper way to sit and stuff like
that. Again more with the why me's. I got on the internet today. Dad was trying to bribe me to be nicer
to Mom and bought me a laptop compture. All I can say to this is very, very, very, very, good try Dad
thanks for the laptop. Mom also wants me to meet a cousin of mine a Rachel somebody and give her a tour
of S.B.A.P.H.S since she will start to go to school with me. Rachel it turns out is Aunt Lilly's daughter
but she has her father's last name. Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris had a happy mariage for thirteen years
but then it got rocky and they decided that the best thing for the children Rachel and Fred(Rachel's brother)
was to get a divorce. This was so not true. In my whole life I have talked to Cousin Rachel twice. But one
of those times was after the divorce and she so did not like it. I know for a fact that Aunt Lilly still
loves Uncle Boris and he loves her still. Cousin Fred lives with Uncle Boris but Cousin Rachel lives
with Aunt Lilly. Rachel gets to see her father every other month but now she wants to spend more time
with her mother. I can see why. Her mother isn't the crowned princess of Genovia. Her mother isn't making her
spend every afternoon taking princess lessons with her. She doesn't have the name Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette
Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod that her mother gave her and she has to live with for THE REST OF HER LIFE.
Sara called again latter. She wants to know the report on the "oil leak" situation at my Grandmother's.
I told her they should be finished with it by Monday at the earliest. Oh now I remember Cousin Rachel's
last name. Its Pelkowski. No offense but Uncle Boris has an odd last name that personally I wouldn't be
caught dead having. So about the whole name thing it's about even. Aunt Lilly is sending Rachel here to be
with Mom. I have no idea why Aunt Lilly would send Rachel to Mom instead of Grandma and Grandpa. Frank is
trying to tell me something I have to go.
October 29, Sunday Saint Cecilia's
I will soon be going out with Mark! It's a dream come true! He actually got out of his whole proper attire
phase long enough to dress cool! He looks so much hotter than Allan. It's true. I'm not lying. I wish I could
be lying though I don't want to feel these feelings for Sara's older brother it's just not cool and all.
Anyway I don't care if the acopolypse comes I'm going on a date with Mark the hotest real guy I've
ever seen! Why haven't we actually left for the date yet? Mark has to talk to Frank about were we are going.
Now Frank is starting to seem like a body guard to me. He wants to protect me because with Mom and Dad and
all that stuff but he doesn't have to be so protective of me in the fact that I can't go any were including the
hotel lobby without him accompying me. He's cool in the fact that he keeps on telling these really good
jokes to me to keep me sane. He keeps on making me laugh about being a princess that is why I can't
hate him. It's not his fault that Mom and Dad hired him to be my cauffer and all. It's also so not his fault
that I'm a mutated freak in my development and all. Okay I have to go now Frank knows exactly where
we are going to be in case a hired hitman showes up or something to that extent.
Sunday later Grandmother's again
One word: Perfect! Life's perfect. Okay I have to describe to you every detail on how the date went.
Mark and I got into the limo and speed off to the movie theater. Once we were there we decided not to
see Fred and Izzy but a replaying of a movie that was out in my Mom's teenhood called She's All That. We
stood in line waiting to buy tickets. It was starting to get cold and all so Mark wrapped his arm around me
and it felt so good. He wears this awesome colone. He then pressed his body I'm not sure if this was
intened or not against mine. It was the closest thing to the s word I've ever had in my life. I was
pretty darn happy about it. Sadly then we were able to get tickets and he took his arm off me to pay
for the tickets. About the whole s word. I don't plan to have ever except with my one and only husband.
We got inside of the movie theater and got a bucket of popcorn. We then sat down and waited for the movie
to start. We finished the almost the whole bucket of popcorn by the time the credits started to play. Mark
went back and got some more and he was back before the movie offically started. I was captivated at the performance of
Rachael Leigh Cook. Freddie Prinze Jr. was SO hot. But looking at Mark I knew I had my own Freddie
Prinze Jr. right besides me. I just hope Mark asking me out wasn't some big bet like it was for Laney in
the movie. After the movie was done we went outside again to head to the resturant that Mark was going to
take me for lunch. He kept on making sure I was warm enough. I can't belive how cold it got in late October.
The resturant that Mark took me to was Sky Palace. It was was wonderful the atmosphere was perfect. It was
like we were in a castle that was in the sky on a cloud. It was how I truly felt. Mark ordered for me a vegtable
pasta dish that was fablous. For himself he ordered a veggie burger with a salad. Mark and I are both animal
protective. We don't like killing animals on an every day basis. I only eat meat at the most twice a week if
I have to. I can stand meat but I prefer not to kill them for my own benifit to eat. I like tofu so
it isn't a problem. We talked about so many different things here is how some of it goes:
Mark:So did you like the movie?
Me:Yeah I liked it alot. How about you?
Mark: I liked it. It wasn't that shabby for an old chick flick.
Me: You know Laney was so pretty and people didn't even notice it until it was shown on her
outside. That was a bummer.
Mark: Tell me about it. I thought that she was pretty from the start if she just brushed her
hair out.
Me:So are looks EVERYTHING?
Mark:Not really are they EVERYTHING to you?
Me(between laughs): That and if I can have a decent converstation with the person and not
fight with them.
Mark: Me too. I guess.
Oh my gosh! We were kind of flirting. The dress I was wearing was the one Mom got for me for the
date. It was pink and purple. The straps were spagehti straps but the bodice was covered with big thick
layers of fabric so you really couldn't tell that I had small breasts and all. The dress ended at
my calfs. The trim at the bottom was white lace. It was really cute and stylish I was really happy
after all my Mom spent all that time getting it for me. I think Mom is good at heart honestly. But I
have to get back to the BEST part of the date which was after lunch. Mark called Frank and my Grandmother
and told them not to expect us back till later. Both of us wanted to spend the rest of the day togther just
having fun. Mark took me then to Borders. We both had fun for three hours just reading books on
the cruelness of the meat industry. I have never mentioned this before but Mark is a certified genius.
He is one I'm not lying. He takes a couple of senior college courses. Once back when he was in the
ninth grade they wanted him to graduate allready but he didn't want to graduate and leave all his small number
yet of great importance friends. He has everything a girl could want, looks, great personality, intelligence,
integrity, etc. I can't see why after these past two and a half years I have wasted my valuable crushing time
oggling after Allen. He is so last year to me now. So after we read for three hours Mark took me to this
shop that sold old things like antiques and bought me a beatiful real pearl necklace. No offense to Mom
and all but his necklace meant more to me than Mom's pearl necklace. It was dainty and light. Mom's
was fairly heavy and bulky. Once he placed the necklace on me we left the store and headed to a coffe
shop for a light dinner. We had pastries, short bread, and coffee for dinner that night. It wasn't
the most elegant dinner like lunch but I loved every minute of it especially when the only booth open
at that moment was really tiny. It was so tiny that at the most our heads could only be a foot
away from eachother. We had fun during our odd dinner. We talked about the gun laws and freedoms
in the Bill of Rights. We never seem to run out of anything to talk about. We may not aggree completely
on what we say about a certain topic but we never have fought in our lives I don't think. Once Mark
and I each went to the restroom for a pit stop we left the coffe shop and headed to the bus stop. Mark
instisted that he pay my fare but I reminded him that we each have student passes. He kind of blushed then.
Once we were on the bus in the back because it was a long ride we kind of feel asleep. I rested my head
on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. I was in heaven I knew it right then and there. We
were like this for about an hour which was how long the whole bus ride was. He pulled the chain to
the driver to signal for our stop which was going to be his house. Grandmother insisted that instead
of having us drive through the bad part of L.A. to reach my house that we just simply go to his house
and that Grandmother would send Frank to pick me up once we called to signal that we were back.
Once we reached the front gate to Mark's house Mark dropped his keys to the gate. Unforuntaly Sara,
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher had gone to L.A.C.M.A for the day and wouldn't be back until very late. Mark didn't
want to bother pressing the button to signal for Hillary or one of the other two maids or three
butlers to open it for us. So he reached down to get his keys and I was going to help him search if
he needed it. Once we found the keys our hands brushed up against eachothers and a jolt of pure happiness
swept thru me. We got up and Mark opened the gate to the house. We got to the door and went inside.
I sadly then had to call Grandmother so I could get picked up. After making the sad call Mark went
out with me to the porch to wait for Frank. I heard noises of crickets and nature all around us. Mark
slowly reached downt to my face and pressed his lips against mine it was gentel and soft. In response
to this I opened my mouth and let his tounge enter mine. I just have to a relization. Mark and I were
French kissing. We held this kiss for about seven minutes untill Mark and I headed for the loveseat
which was on the porch. A marvelous thing then happened we started kissing again and again. It was
full blown making out within seconds. It was a wonder we stoped before the limo pulled up to Mark's
house. It honestly was. That was the most perfect night I've had in my whole entire fifteen years
of existence. The only time that I've felt this truly happy was when Mark actually asked me out. I
think I'm in love with him honestly I think I am. Tommorow's the Halloween Hop. Dear me what am I
going to wear? Oh yeah I have the other dress that Mom bought me for the dance. It's orange and
black the perfect colors for Halloween. Oh dear me I have to get made over again! I'm going
to call Mom ASAP.
October 30 Monday The Day of the Halloween Hop, Some class
I'm so eager, excited, nervous, in love, etc. I can't even pay attention to whatever class I'm
in right now. Mom said she'd take me to get my hair and what she calls form made over again. My
perms starting to get kind of limp from the last perm and the color is starting to fade. I think
that Mom's pretty cool to take me to get made over on such short notice like this. Diana canceled
another practice again. Today people were acting odd towards me. I have not the slightest idea why
they are looking and giggling at me. Okay I know I'm starting to look freaky again and today I didn't
have time to put my contacts in so I am wearing my geeky glasses again and I woke up late today
because I spent the whole night writing my last entry about my perfect day. I'll have to get back
to you on why people are treating me like a such a freak.
Later Monday
Dear God WHY ME? Y ME? Y ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? One question: WHY ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I asked Sara why people were snickering at me and she looked at me with this horrifed expression
on her face. She cooly says , "Okay Ellisa when were you planing on telling Mark and me that you
are royality?" I had no idea how she found out about me being Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi
Helen Moscovitz Renalod? Well Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod ?
I asked her this and she shoved at me the Monday Morning edition of the Los Angles Times. On it was
a picture of me coming out of the Sheraton on Saturday morning. I was going out to have a talk with
my Mom about Rachel's visit. Who ever took the photo caught me at a bad time. I looked like a monster.
I turned it to the page that the artical was on and I went on about how I was a "hidden princess in
urban L.A." it also made referances to me being a "princess of the people" when I would get older like
Mom. I actually was just re-reading this entry and I swore again! I have never sworn except that one
time in the mall and it was a justified event to do so. Ever since Mom made me over I have sworn twice.
That was why Diana was super nice to me today. She knows I'm Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen
Moscovitz Renalod. I also just noticed that I haven't gone to confession for the first time I swore.
Okay also how many times have I written my proper princess name in this one entry alone? Let's count okay?
Three is the total count. I now know what class I'm in Study Hall. Sara wants to talk. I brought my
laptop at least now I don't have to lie to her about who and how I got it. Sara's in the compture lab
taking a four week course on science of the internet. She just emailed me.
SFchickSLF: Hey Ellisa sup?
I IM her back
Ellisagurlie:Hey Sara I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier my Mom asked me to keep it quite for
as long as I could honestly I'm sorry.
SFchickSLF:No problem. I also think Mark understands that also. So you 2 going out or what?
Ellisagurlie:I guess so..... He kisses good.
SFchickSLF: I also wanted you to get togther I think I've told you this once before.
Ellisagurlie: Me 2. We are going to the Halloween Hop togther.
Then CMANCMAN is on. Why is Mark on?
Ellisagurlie:Mark what are you doing on for? It's class time for crying out loud.
CMANCMAN: I got permission from Mr. McKay to come down to the compture lab he knows I already
know the material.
SFchickSLF:Hey Mark get back to class or I'll exploit your going to the lab to Mom and Dad.
Ellisagurlie: Sara and Mark please use regular language.
CMANCMAN:Okay.
SFchickSLF:Okay.
Ellisagurlie:Thanx a ton.
SFchickSLF: I wish you 2 a very happy relationship. Dr. Perkins is looking at me now.
CMANCMAN: Okay bye sis.
Ellisagurlie: Bye best friend.
CMANCMAN:Ellisa I think we have 2 talk about last night.
Ellisagurlie: Okay. Mark I think I have 2 tell you that I'm in love with you. I've had these
fellings for a long time.
CMANCMAN: That was exactly what I was going to say. I want to love you. I'm a stupid sentimental
guy you know that but I love you. But once I turn eighteen the law says that we won't be able
to have the dreaded s wor. Not that I would any how.
Ellisagurlie: Okay we can act like you never said the s word. I wanna know r we boyfriend and girl-
friend people? Or r we just friends with benifits?
CMANCMAN: I want to be your boyfriend do u want to be my steady girlfriend?
Ellisagurlie:R u really asking me to go steady with you?
CMANCMAN:Yes. I love you more than Charise and McKayla. I have ever since you were in seventh grade.
Ellisagurlie: I started to like you when I was in eighth grade I guess. Yes I would love to be your
steady girlfriend. What do you want your sappy name to be???
CMANCMAN: Of course Cman.
Ellisagurlie:And for me Bethie. Okay I have to go Cman.
CMANCMAN: Bye Bethie.
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! I ELLISABETH HELEN MOSCOVITZ HAVE A STEADY BOYFRIEND! NOT JUST ANY BOYFRIEND EITHER!
MARK FISHER!!!!!!!!!! MORE AND MORE SCREAMS.
More Later Monday
Okay it's now French and I have calmed down. Lunch has passed. Mark and I are offically boyfriend and
girlfriend now at S.B.A.P.H.S Diana made me ask him to sit with us at lunch. She kept on passing moves
at him. No offense but I got pretty darn mad. I'm going to ask Mom and Dad if I can send something like
an army to Diana's house and have her put in prision. Probably they whould just think I'm being funny and
all. Oh yes guess what other news is hot besides me and all. Diana and Allan just broke up. Apparently
Diana caught him making out Friday night with Willa and now she hates him and Willa. Willa now hates
Allan because Diana hates her now. At lunch today people kept on approching me at lunch. The group of
rich kids want me to sit with them next Monday. The drama freaks and mimes want me to sit with them on
Friday, the international students who speak French want me to sit with them on Thursday. The brainiacs
want me to sit them next Friday. I promised Sara that I would sit with her and the Creative Writting club
three times a week so we can get more membership. Heck why not use my new found fame for a good use?
So now I see Mrs. Capra the school secretary asking Madame Dupall if I can come to Principal Evans
office. Why does she want to see me? Because of my new fame is she going to ask that I leave the school?
It would totally burn if she did because Mark and I just became steady. I'll report back.
Report back Monday:
Okay Mom finally got the news at lunchtime. She was going to get the paper from the newstand at
the hotel lobby and saw my face on it. She nearly had a hernia from the sound of it. So guess
who was at Principal Evan's office when I got there? Yes Mom, Dad, Grandmother, AND Grandpere.
I hadn't seen the guy in a lifetime and now I was seeing him in the Principal's office. Yes
in the Principal's office. I knew he was coming soon but I didn't know this soon. Once I came into
the office he looked over me and whispered something in my Mom's ear. It turns out that he told
Mom that he will not see me in my sneakers, knee high socks, and without makeup and my hair brushed
again. Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Mom got out a pair of nylons and told me to go into the restroom
and put them on along with a makeup kit, and a brush to brush my hair and put makeup on. Principal
Evans gave me a pass so if any teachers find me in the hall they won't send me to her again. So I spent
the next block putting on the nylons and primping is what Diana and her passe call it. I then came
back in only the have my Grandpere tell Mom that he thinks I'm a poplurie which means a hooker or
chicken in French. I'm sure he didn't mean that I looked like a hooker instead of a chicken. So sue
me I never had Mom around because of him when I was young to teach me what the right makeup was.
At least it wasn't as gross as what Grandpere was doing to Mrs. Capra. He was charming her. I think
that deserves a triple ew. I can point out three gross things about that picture.
1)Grandpere is like eighty something while Mrs. Capra is twenty five.
2)Mrs. Capra's a Mrs. in the first place.
3)Grandpere is like a Crowned Prince in the first place he should be diginified.
4)Grandpere had one of his ew ew ew ew testicels removed so ew ew ew ew.
So I pointed out four points that makes it even grosser. I wonder what Rachel is going to think of
Grandpere. I know that he isn't directly her Grandpere but still. What Principal Evans and my parents
wanted to talk about was arranging security. By the end of the whole talk that took the rest of the
school day it was arranged that I would have Frank and this other body guard person Sim be
my body guards. I was told by Mom that she had one body guard when she was in the same exact situation
but for me no it has to be two. Frank is just not enough apparently. Frank and Sim are going
to accompany me to the dance tonight yipee! On my second date with my boyfriend I'm going to be
watched by two bodyguards. This is going to be fun. Also for security reasons now the school is
going to have to put up gates in the front yard by the school bulding around the premisis(I don't
know where I picked this word up in the converstation) which will be funded by Mom and Dad. I found
out over the weekend that Dad could be fincaly stable even without a bunch of Mom's money. When he
first got out of college he won the lotto I'm not making this up, honestly and won at least a million
dollars. So all togther with both of my parent's income I'm worth over a billion dollars. About
the dance Principal Evans says that she will make sure that there is extra security and right then
and on the spot she called Beat and requested the upmost security aviable. I'm sure all the popular
kids are just going to love me now. Because of me it will be almost impossible to sneak in any
drugs or beer. I'm thrilled. One thing that I love about Mark is that he does neither smoke nor
drink. He's too cool to smoke or drink. He also belives that both ruin and corput your body. That
is how he allways looks so good and healthy. That and along with the fact he eats healthy. Carrie
and Heather talked to me again today about dresses after I came out from the Ms. Evans' office with
Frank and Sim. Sim is hot for a bodyguard. I found out that he is thirty and to be quite honest
he doesn't look that bad. But Mark thought at first that he was a prince that I was too married to
and got protective of me. He actually called me Bethie! He makes me love my life in spite of the fact
that I'm:
1)Pretty much flat chested
2)Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod
3)A Mutated Monster most of the time
4)A second string drill team member
5)A complete freak with all of the above
Oh Mom is now here at Grandmothers' she's going to take me to get made over.
Monday Night
Okay so Mark better show up I went through a whole lot to look this good. I had my hair permed again
which means that I had to suffer smelling rotten eggs for two hours after the whole proccedure. I
got my hair dyed light blond again. I got a body wax AND an eyebrow waxing. I got a manicure and
a pedicure. I also had fabulous makeup put on. My dress is black and orange as I have said before.
It has sleeves that end at my elbows. The sleeves are orange with black splash on the sides. Then the
skirt goes down to my knees. It is like the sleeves except it is the opposite black with orange splash
on it. The neckline is a v. It stoops to show what little clevage I have. Thankfully from what Mom's
told me about her teenage years she knows how hard it is to find a dress that is long but doesn't
need a whole ton of breast development to fill it in. I don't doubt that Mark will show up. He wouldn't
stand me up. That is one reason why he's my boyfriend, he has personal integrity. I haven't had anything
to eat since early lunchtime. I keep on picturing me throwing up on Mark and having him break up with me.
Rachel's supposed to show up in a week. Mom told me so today after she got off the phone from Aunt Lilly.
Aunt Lilly via email sent us a picture of what Rachel looks like right now and she doesn't look to bad.
She has deep brown eyes, her hair is messy blond, she has some development but not to much and she is
kind of curvy. Allan would love her, she's way prettier than Diana naturaly. I know she isn't wearing
any makeup in the picture and she has a really pretty face. She's not to thin that people would automaticly
assume she was an anorexic or bulimic. I think I look pretty good right now too. Mark if you stand me
up you will miss out on a lot. Oh my he is here! He just pressed the intercom. Grandmothers' house
isn't too big on security but she did makesure she got an intercom system instaled at the gate
before she lets any one in. In this case it was Mark! Shrieks come out.
Monday Night Bathroom at BEAT
So far things are pretty good. I promised myself actually that I wouldn't bring this book with me
to the dance but I have two bodyguards so I brought it with me any way. Okay before the dance
Mark took me to this other cool resturant. I don't know how Mark knows of all these cool little
resturants. Guess who was there? Carrie and this boy Tom who she has had her eye on all quater,
Nina with Dawson this guy who is a transfer student from Spain and is kind of a hottie, Heather
with her friend that happens to be a guy named Calvin, and Sara was with Jason! I couldn't belive
it at first. Tom and Calvin happen to be in the tech club at S.B.A.P.H.S which Mark is also in so
they guys weren't left out to much. Jason talked to them on car parts and they happend to get into
a good conversation with Jason. Once we finished dinner Sara, Jason, Carrie, and Tom went with
Mark and me in my limo along with Sim and Frank accompying us. Nina, Dawson, Heather, and Calvin
went to BEAT in Calvin's car. Calvin owns a Mercades so all of us that night were riding in style.
Carrie, Sara, and I talked about how women are so restricted in freedoms still after about a couple
of centuries. Mark, Jason, and Tom talked more about cars. Sim and Frank talked amongst eachother
about how to load a pistol properly which some how reached Tom and the guys joined my body guards
in this topic of discussion. Carrie kind of got mad at Tom for wanting to engage in such a topic
of conversation after that Tom stoped which lead Jason and Mark to stop also. Once we got to beat
Sim got out with all of us while Frank went to park the limo someplace. One thing I told my friends
and our dates about at the begining of the discussion when we first entered BEAT was Rachel's coming
to S.B.A.P.H.S they thought it was pretty cool and didn't make any rude comment about the divorce between
Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris. After all we are all Catholic Mark being a devotional Catholic and according
to our faith there is no such thing as a divorce but anulment. Actually Jason isn't Catholic but
is interested in becoming one because of Sara and all. After we had settled in around the dance
floor Jason, Carrie, Tom, Sara, Nina, and Dawson all wanted to dance. Once they started to play a good
song we started to dance. After that one had ended a slow song started I danced this one of course
with Mark. We had so much fun. Okay I think Mark will start to worry if I don't come out soon.
November 1, 4 a.m. in the moring Grandmother's
Remember how the dance was going great in my last entry? Well it made a hectic down fall after
I came out of the restroom. Finally I had come out I saw Allan rushing towards me with about ten
reporters with cameras and he forced his grimmy lips upon mine! He was totally being a jerk. After
he got his lips of mine I screamed for Mark who came. I told him what Allan did and he dissed
Allan right there in front of the reporters. I told the reporters that Allan wasn't my boyfriend which
after I had talked to them for about fifteen minutes found out that was what Allan had told them.
I told them the truth that Mark was my boyfriend. Word reached Sim and Frank about this catastrophe
with in minutes and they hauled the reporters off and had Allan kicked out of BEAT for sexual
assualt. Thank you Sim and Frank. An hour had passed before the whole mass confusion stopped.
Mark and I went back to dancing and being merry with Sara, Jason, Carrie, Tom, Nina, Dawson, Heather, and
Calvin. I still was unable to fully enjoy the evening because of the fact that Allan the scumbucket
had pressed his lips against mine to get some stupid media attention. I could kill him. I know
it isn't nice or anything but honestly wouldn't some else feel the same way in my situation? I
guess I could never know this since I don't have magic were I can magicaly change minds with someone.
Also to add to the fact that I couldn't erase this memory people kept on pointing and whispering
behind my back. I could sue Allan for everything he's got. Mark and the rest of the gang along with
me couldn't stand this after two hours so we left. I volluntered to my friends to take them
someplace so the whole evening wouldn't end sour so we all aggreed upon going to this other dance
club in L.A. called Club Disco. Grandmother now says I can go to these places with my body guards
as long as I'm responsible. At Club Disco things got somewhat better. Nobody from our school was
there and it was fun. The fare at the door was about seven dollars a person. I with cash that
Sim and Frank gave me paid for all ten of us. I promised that Mom would pay them back for the
fare. It was worth the cost and much more. It was better than BEAT was. It had three dance floors
and it even had a room off to the side with arcade stuff for the guys. Later that evening I found
out from Carrie that Diana was at the dance and when I had left to go to the restroom she had
made two major passes at Mark who refused the passes. See Mark has personal intgerity. Once it
got to be like one o' clock we left Club Disco for my home. Mark, Carrie, Tom, Nina, Dawson, Heather,
and Calvin left but Sara got special permission to stay the night. I'm going to let Sara borrow
my regular school uniform tommorow while I wear my Drill Team uniform. It's amazing how Sara and
I have almost the same size in everything. We talked until two thirty by then Sara had fallen asleep.
Unfortunately I'm still pretty worked up about Allan kissing me and all. But it was made up by
Mark who Frenched Kissed me again once we left Club Disco. I think I need to get at least three
hours of sleep goodnight. -Ellisa
October 7, Monday Here in my little room
Hey it's me Ellisabeth Helen Moscovitz. Geez I have no idea why my Grandmother wants me
to start to keep a diary. Why do I live with my Grandmother instead with my regular parents?
Because my parents are allways so busy that they thought it best that I live with her. And
have a simple life. What do my parents do? I have no idea. See they keep it a secret even
from me. Yup they keep it a secret from me. So I really have not the slightest clue to what
my parents do for a living. Am I pretty? No way! As if. I have this really scrangely dark
blond hair that is allways really messy no matter what I do to keep it neat. I have hazel
colored eyes. It really is horrible. Any way my Grandmother said that my parents would be in
town in a week. I have only seen my parents three times in my whole life. Seriously this may
sound really weird but it's true. This is my life.
My best friend Sara Lynn Fisher says that she thinks my parents are international spies
or something like that if I have only seen them three times in my whole life. But then again Sara
allways is creating a fanasty world. I really can't blame her our real lifes are so boring as
they are. Sometimes I have actually dreamed that my parents do work for the government or
they are lord and lady of another far off country. My mom is really pretty her hair is really
nice it's like she has it styled every week by a famous hair desginer or something. And my
father is really handsome. So I guess they really could turn out to be spies or nobility.
At school today Allan Fredrick Jemmings looked at me and said "Hey" to me! Allan is the
cutest boy I have ever seen! Seriously I am not kiding! But then of course I did something
really geeky of myself. I dropped my glasses. Gosh did I tell you that I wear glasses? Well
I do. It isn't pretty. I must have the geekiest glasses in the whole entire world.
Any way where do I go to school? I go to Susan B. Anthony High School. Am I the popularest
girl there? You've got to be kidding me! Diana Wanda Sampson is. Diana is the captian of the
Drill Team. At Susan B. Anthony High School they try to live up to who the school was named
after. They didn't want a Cheerleading Squad because it sounded sexist so they called it a
Drill Team instead. Aunt Lilly says that my school is like the school where she and Mom went
to. I really miss Aunt Lilly. But Aunt Lilly lives in New York. My grandmother wanted to move
to L.A. for some odd reasons she couldn't tell me. I really think it's because New York was filled
with too many memories of my Step Grandfather. Gosh! I am becoming sappy like I usually do.
Anyway Mark Fisher Sara's brother says that I am sappy. I think Mark is really good looking.
But I wouldn't dare tell Sara this. Really would you tell your best friend that you thought
her brother was good looking. The same brother that put gum in your hair in the third grade?
I think not.
Sara says that I hold up my feelings inside of me and that is why I have such a miserabel
life. I asked her why she thought I had a miserabel life. She said since the fact that I never
smile that much. I guess she's right.
October 8, 2001 MTA Bus Stop
I must be the luckest girl in the world. I got to see Allan and Diana kiss again today. Yup
that's right I got to see them kiss. See Diana has the second locker down from mine so I
constantly get to see them exchange saliva. Diana and Allan are almost allways if they aren't
talking are exchanging saliva. For once I wish Allan would exchange saliva with me but then
again I don't have a size D cup. For a matter of fact I have only a size A cup. I know really
pittful. But Mark doesn't care he says he doesn't care what a girl's cup size is. But then
again Mark has only dated two girls in his whole life Charise and Mckayla. Did I tell you
Mark's a senior? Sara and I are sophmores. But it was really good though just to have a senior
guy tell you that it's okay for you to have a size A cup.
So also Diana came up to me and teased me. She said that they where holding second string
Drill Team try outs and she was wondering if I would show up for practice In two weeks. I of
course said probably not. I really do dance well Sara, Heather, Nina, and Carrie all say so even
Dean one of Allan's friends who was walking by Sara and my lunch area said so. Maybe I should
go out for the Drill Team but then I don't want to lose my friends even if I don't have that
many and I would make more if I even made second string. One good thing at Susan B. Anthony
is that the captian doesn't choose the team. The coach, assiant coach, and a dance teacher from
the community choose who makes it.
Another question I have on life is why does it allways seem that the best looking guy like
Allan date your worst enemy like Diana? Life can make it self so harsh. Like the fact that
even though I am fifteen Grandmother doesn't let me go to this teen dance club called Beat.
Even Sara can go and she has the strictest parents ever in the history at Susan B. Anthony
but my Grandmother the lady who says that I can stay out till three in the morning won't let
me go to Beat. Grandmother says though that I can go once I turn fifteen and a half which will
be in three months. Why half a year? She says because that is when I can start to drive with
a permit. When my Mom comes into town I am going to tell her about this injustice. Hopefully
she and Dad will let me go to Beat.
How did class go today? I got a fairly good grade on my biology exam and I didn't do
too badly on my French quiz. Why French and not Spanish? Well my Grandmother and Mom forced me
to take it. They wouldn't let me take Spanish. Talking about my Mom and Dad, they called today.
The converstation was quite well interesting my Mom and Dad seem more like my grandparents and
my Grandmother seems more like my Mom. When I stay with Grandma and Grandpa they feel more
like my parents instead. I go visit them in New York every summer for three weeks. They used
to be pshycoanlistists but they are really cool they are loose. They let me go to the teen dance
clubs in New York. I once asked Mom and Dad if I could live with Grandma and Grandpa but they
said no to this. I'm sure your asking about my Grandfather well I have only seen him once when
I recived my First Holy Communion. Ohh yeah I'm different from the rest of my family. I decided
to become Catholic. Sara once brought me to mass with her when I spent the night and I really
liked it alot so I decided to recive my sacraments. I have been baptized, I have gone to my first
Confession and I have recived my First Holy Communion. Now every Sunday I go to mass with Sara
and we are in the proccess of getting Confrimed. So we go to Confrimation class every Monday.
Yesterday we didn't have class because it was cancled because they couldn't get a room for the
class. So yeah I only saw my Grandfather once. I can't wait for the Confirmation retreat Mark
is coming since he is going to present at it. I've got to go my Grandmother is calling me down
to dinner.
October 10 Thursday Study Hall
Sorry I couldn't write yesterday I actually have decided that yes I will go out for the
Drill Team. I came to this decsion yesterday. When I told Grandmother about it she said if the
Drill Team was what I really wanted to have. I told her I wasn't doing it for popularity that I
was doing it because I love to dance so much. She just didn't want me to try out for popularity
like I'd really do something like that. Yesterday I also got my monthly progress report. I'm still
getting a C- in public speaking. Yes another subject I was forced to take. In French I'm getting
a plain C in geometry I'm getting a B in English I'm getting a B in biology I'm getting a B.
and those type of grades. Allan said a word to me he actually said hello again! Today when I
told Sara, Heather, Nina, and Carrie that I was going out for Drill Team they all had different
reactions Heather and Nina said, "That's so cool just think about wearing the uniform!" Carrie
and Sara's reaction was a little more like my Grandmother's. "It's just for the popularity huh?"
Well that was very nice of them to say when they where supposed to be supporting me. But I didn't
want to ruin my friendship with Sara and Carrie over something like that. Now that would be
stupid. But when I went to sign up on the Drill Team board and then Diana and her friends showed
up.
"So Little Miss. Moscovitz has decided to try out for second string huh? I'll be sure to
put a good word to the judges for you," Diana teased her friends just joined in giggling after
her. Geez I think Diana's friends are more annoying than Diana herself because they have no mind
to think for themselves. Mark says that he aggrees with me on that fact. Today I went to Sara's
house after school. Sara and I did something really embarrassing we studied our breasts. Sara even
at least has a BB cup bra. Lord, I am so behind the mammary glands huh? Again Mark comforted me
by telling me that at least I had a reason to wear a bra. I guess he is right that I am lucky to
actually be wearing a size A bra. Nina says that she hardly has an exuse to wear a trainers bra
now that IS embarrassing. Another thing that happend is that I actually got a letter from my
Grandfather. He wishes me a happy halloween and he sent me get this 500 dollars! Really
he did. Grandfather has allways sent me large sums of money. Once for my thirteenth birthday he
sent me A THOUSAND dollars. I saved some of that up with other large deposits of money he has
sent me before. The bank must really enjoy helping me deposit the checks Grandfather sends me.
Today while I was in geometry I saw this guy Jason who by the way is the sophmore brother
of Allan looking at Shellia Caren Sabatos. It turns out that he was actually looking at Sara.
How can Sara get a guy like Jason. Ohh did I tell you that Shellia is one of Diana's groupies and
her sophmore cousin. Jason's also on the track team. Today I saw Carrie and Nina with two guys
yup even they atract guys. What is wrong with me? I seriously think it's that I can't go to Beat
while Sara, Nina, and Carrie can. The only friend I know that hasn't gotten a guy's attention
and also can't go to Beat is Heather. Today Heather and I complained over the fact that we can't
go to Beat while our other friends can. Heather's only fourteen. In a month she's going to turn
fifteen but untill then she also can't go. I keep on telling Grandmother that Heather will be
able to go to Beat once she turns fifteen but as allways Grandmother is relentless to her oringinal
descision not to let me go untill I turn fifteen and a half. Geez life can really suck.
October 11, Friday French Class
I got great news! There finally is going to be a good concert at our school. Saturn's Rings is coming
to perform at our school! Saturn's Rings is one of the best groups out there. Grandmother says since
it's at school I can go. She says also that she is coinsidering letting me go to Beat if I can
get an A on this really big French test that is going to happen in a week. She actually said that
she must be in a good mood. Or maybe Mom and Dad's visit is scaring her. She wants to show them
that even at the ripe age of seventy two that she can still raise me as a good single mother should.
Today I again inspected my breasts they grew only about an sixteenth of an inch since two months ago.
Still they are not ready for a AA cup. I am asking you good God to give me a bigger bra cup size soon
so I can actually maybe make it on the Drill Team. Even the judges are biased in what type of ideal-
istic body they want for the Drill Team. Today Allan looked at me as he got his books from Diana's
locker.(They sometimes share a locker)Diana also made fun of me again today. She actually got the
nerve to go and call me Ellisabeth today. Nobody calls me Ellisabeth except my elders in any
case. Everyone usually goes and calls me Ellisa or Bethie. Bethie is my old nickname my new nickname
is Ellisa. Here is exactly how it went:
Diana: Hey Ellisabeth I hope you can improve your bra size before the try outs they
look for a body. Right girls?
Shellia: Yeah I know cousin. Don't the rules even state that you have to be abel to
cover them with at least two band-aids?
Diana:Your right little cousin I think the rules specificaly state that.
Gwenth(One of D's group): Diana you know that you taught the rules to Shellia so that
she would memorize them by heart!
Diana:That's right. Ohh well Ellisabeth I guess that it will be interesting to see if
you make the team or not.
Of course then after they left I went running for the bathroom. I was going to cry my eyes out
but I have never wanted to cry them out before when Diana's teased me. But today something happened
that just made me want to cry. As I was going to I wasn't looking where I was going and I ran into
by accident Mark. And then by accident my books fell out of my hands and onto the floor. Mark then
quikly helped me scoop all my stuff up and I was doing the same. Then for a long two mintues our
hands touched. I have had this happen before. Where Mark and I brush hands for a moment. But I
have never blushed about it before in my life. God blushing about Mark in front of him was humiliating!
"Moscovitz you've got to slow down. I did not see Allan dream boy go by. What was the rush?"
"You would never understand you are a guy," I said trying to hold back tears.
"I have a sister you know that girl Sara that you call best friend. Try me," he said. Looking
at me seriously.
"Well Diana and her little group just made fun of the fact that I'm less developed than they
are. I've never cried about it before but today I just guess I had to let it out. It hurts so
badly to have her tease me about something I can't really help," I told him crying. He then
put his arm on my shoulder.
"Come on let's get you to your' next class," he said as he took my French book and my
assigment notebook. We then walked to my French class. We got there right as the bell rung.
Madame Dupall started on Passe Compose. Which translated means past forms. We studied avoir
and permettre. Lord Jason wouldn't take his eyes off Sara. Lord what does Sara have that I
don't? Ohh yeah a size BB cup.
Passe Compose of Permettre and Avoir
J'ai Permis J'ai Eu
Tu as Permis Tu as Eu
Elle a Permis Elle a Eu
Il a Permis Il a Eu
Nous avons Permis Nous avons Eu
Vous avez Permis Vous avez Eu
Ils/ Elles ont Permis Ils/Elles ont Eu
Friday Night Carrie's Place
I really am astonished that Grandmother let me come here tonight. Remember my parents are
coming in the day after tommorow. Last time they came Grandmother made me straighten out my
room at least three times before they came to visit. Why is my Grandmother affraid of my Mom
for crying out loud my Mom would be HER daughter. But any way I am at Carrie's with Sara. Nina's
parents said that they would be taking her shoping for a new bed tommorow so she had to stay
home. We just watched Tommorow's Going to Come in the format of a DVD. Carrie's parents are super
rich lawyers so they live in a huge house in Beverly Hills and Carrie has her own phone line,
TV, VCR, and DVD Player in her giantic room. She also has a whirl pool option in her bath tub.
I don't think that Grandmother would be abel to afford a place like Berk's(Carrie's last name)
have in a million years. They also have a fairly good sized pool. Not counting the spa and
tennis courts. The Berks also have a personal maid come tri weekly to clean the house. They
also have a live in cheif to cook for them and a live in butler who greets guest and helps
them around the house. Carrie is so lucky. Sara also has a house like Carrie's. Carrie
and Sara are almost next door neighbors. Sara lives two houses down from Carrie.
We had a disscussion about boys. This converstation took a fairly odd turn. We had decided
to turn it into a truth as from truth or dare but without any dares.
"Ellisa truth whom would you like to French kiss? Allan or Mark," Was that one out of
the blue.
"Well Allan no duh," I said. Then it came back to me again.
"So truth Ellisa if you could for the rest of your life only see one guy in this whole
world with out a shirt who would you choose?" Sara asked me. I had to really think about this
after all Mark was extremely good looking without a shirt he has this tan that is gorgeous and
even without it he looks good without a shirt. But then again could I tell this to Sara? I guess
I could have just said Allan.
"I guess Mark he's the only guy I have seen without a shirt after all," I said hoping that
my reason was good enough so they wouldn't tease me about it.
"Ohh I knew it Ellisa likes Mark Ellisa likes Mark," Sara said in glee. Lord now I wish
I would have said Allan. Really boy was I regreting it.
"Okay Sara truth is it true that you have feelings for Jason Jemmings and that he has
feelings for you?" I asked hoping to find out why he liked her.
"Well we did decide to have lunch togther today. It turns out that Jason really likes
creative writting. He says that if his brother didn't make him join the track team he'd be
on the creative writting team with me," Sara said. Sara is the president of the creative writting
team and I am vice president. That just made me remember what if Drill Team got in the way of
that? That was a team that Sara and I started last year when we just got to Susan B. Anthony.
Did I ever mention that Susan B. Anothony is a private school? Well it is. Mom and Dad pay my
tution bill.
"So does he have feelings for you or not?" Carrie asked Sara just as thirsty for details
as I was.
"Well he did ask me to the Halloween Hop," Sara said blushing. The Halloween Hop was a
dance that our school is going to put on in three weeks at Beat. My grandmother said I could
go to Beat for this because it was a school function. Only I have a major problem I haven't
got a date for it. Mrs. Berk just came in here telling us to hit the hay. Good night.
October 13, Sunday Hall of St. Cecila's Catholic Church.
Ohh gosh! Grandmother is late on picking me up from Chruch. I could take the bus but it goes
thru South Central LA to get to my house. Let me tell you even if you paid me a thousand bucks
and had Allan kiss me I wouldn't walk thru South Central LA without a friend. Sara's family
left half an hour ago. Thru Mass today when we where saying the Our Father and Mark and I had
to hold hands Mark blushed and I did too. Guess who came to mass with Sara? One clue lover boy.
Yeah Jason came. I think he wants to be with Sara every moment he can. Why can't Allan be like
that too me? This totally sucks. Ohh lord. Allan just showed up to bring Jason home. He looked at
me! Write more later.
Sunday Still Waiting.
Yes it has been nearly two hours since mass let out and Grandmother still hasn't showed up.
I'm going to call home if she doesn't show up in fifteen minutes. I can't bear to hear the Camerings
Widow play when the Saints come marching in one more time. Any way Allan did come over to talk
too me. Yes me of all people. Here is how it went:
Allan: Hey your one of Sara's friends right?
Me:Yeah. Ellisabeth Moscovitz.
Allan:Your that girl that Diana said was trying out for second string.
Me:Yeah I'm going out for second string.
Allan:That's neat. Where's Jason? He said that he'd be around here.
Me:He was waiting for your parents over in the front of church.
Allan:Thanks see you around. Good luck!
Ohh gosh I actually had something that I can call a converstation with Allan Jemmings. I
can not wait to tell Carrie, Sara, and Nina about this! Except for Sara Carrie and Nina will
be so jealous. Allan has never had the time or day to talk to them. Even if it was just to
ask where his brother was. And he actually wished me good luck on the try outs! Grandmother
just showed up. Ohh my gosh she's with Mom and Dad!
Sunday Ladies Room Mirimar Sheraton Hotel
Why am I at the Mirimar Sheraton? My Mom and Dad's visit. Well I just got the most amazing
news. I'll let you guess what it is. Okay I won't make you guess. Mom can't have any other
kids. Aparently a couple of months back she got this really bad vagina infection. Gosh I can
barely write the word vagina. It sounds so gross. But any way the only way to get rid of it
was to have Mom's tubes tied. Yes she actually had to go and have them do that to her so now.
Yes now she couldn't tell me this before. The reason why I am not fully an American Citizen.
The fact that I am an imagrant. I knew I was an imagrant my whole life I just never knew and
all the time I asked Grandmother where I was from she would never tell me where I was born.
Well aparently I was born in this really small country called Genovia. Yes a place called
Genovia. I didn't even know that a place called Genovia existed. But guess what? My Mom is
the princess of Genovia. Once Grandfather dies she will become the crowned princess of Genovia.
She says that Grandfather will die real soon. I asked her what she meant by real soon. She said
within five years. She says that she will have to start to train me to become the next princess
of Genovia.
"What do you mean you have to train me to become the next princess of Genovia? Why do I
need to become a princess of Genovia. Except the fact that I am kinda of a geek in my school,
I like my life a good fair amount,"
"Honey you are the closest thing that we could get you where born with a quater of royal
Genovian blood in you that's more than enough for you to become the princess of Genovia. We would
ask some one else but they don't have royal blood,"Mom I mean Princess Amelia said. Gosh I never
even knew my Mom and Dad's name before today. That is pretty pathetic.
"Gosh Mom I really would like to say that I would love to be the next princess but I
don't thanks for the offer but no thanks," I said polietly. But then my Mom looked sadly at
me.
"Sorry honey but you don't have a choice. This is not an offer it is a demand. Because
techinally you are Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod Princess of
Genovia. Not just plain Ellisabeth Helen Moscovitz. I am so sorry honey I had to tell you like
this but there was no other way for you to be told. Your father and I where hoping that maybe
I could have another child once Grandpere died." She said so I wouldn't have to become a princess
but no a stupid infection had to go into her vaginia(eeeeeewwwwwwwww again) and make the doctors
tie her tubes. Apparently problems with sexual organs run in my family since my mom told me about
how she became Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renalod was that out of wedlock Grandmother
and Grandpere had her. Grandmother raised her in New York then untill she was fourteen then around
that time Grandpere had one of his testicels(triple eeeeeeewwwwwwwwww again!) removed so he
couldn't have any more children so then Mom became the Princess. She and Aunt Lilly where best
friends and she and Dad fell in love. So then they got married even out of Great Grandmere's
wishes. Wouldn't that teach Mom and Dad about having as many children as you can before something
like that happend? But noooooooooo. They only wanted one child(me) so they decided once Mom
had to start doing more and more Princess type things, that they would let my Grandmother raise
me. At that time I was only one and a half years old. So a year after that Step- Grandfather
died Grandmother moved here to L.A.
"So if Grandmother and Grandpere kept it a secret from you untill you where fourteen wouldn't
you want to not do that to me?" I asked.
"Ohh Darling your Mother and I wanted you to have a fairly normal life here with Grandmother
and get a good education. You are getting a good education here at Susan B. Anthony right?"
Dad asked me. It turns out that Dad is Prince Michael. Gosh now come to think about it I think
I read an articel about a Princess Amelia and Prince Michael once they where going to a ball
in honor of the birth of Prince Toni of another fairly small country called Swisanaberg. I never
would think those where my parents. It even had a picture of them! Gosh how stupid could I be?
"Mom, Dad I don't even know how to act like a princess let alone act like one!" I nearly shouted
at them we where in this resturant type place. I hope I didn't disturb the other people.
"That is why I am staying here. Your father and I are going to let you stay at Susan B.
Anthony for your high school education and live with Grandmother except you have to stay with
us during Christmas break, Easter break, and the summer and while I am staying here I would like
you to stay here two weekends every month. I want to catch up on getting to know my own daughter,"
Mom said. Now you want to get to know about your only living daughter. Now that I am going to
become a princess.
"But I don't look like a princess Mom look at me! I am a wreak. I could never look like
you," I cried to my Mom.
"Ohh honey you would never guess what I looked like when I was your age," My Mom said taking
out a school photo of herself when she was my age before Great Grandmere came and took over
her life. She told me about this. Ohh gosh! Mom has just come in here looking for me got to go.
October 15, Monday Study Hall
Okay so I have to tell you what happend yesterday after I came out of the restroom. Well it
is going to happen Mom is going to teach me how to be a true real life princess. Yes I will
have to spend every other weekend with Mom and Dad untill Christmas. Then I will have to
go with Mom and Dad back to Genovia. Then after Christmas break I will come back here and
again stay with Mom and Dad in the Mimar Sheraton every other weekend. Grandmother refuses to
give up custody though untill I am out of high school. Also next Sunday my Mom is going to take
me shoping for clothes and take me to get "made over". My Mom says that she will even get me
fitted for contact lenses. Also when I told her about Drill Team she really is excited for the
fact that I am going out for it. Also she doesn't want me telling any one of my friends about
the fact that I am a princess. Oh no! Mr. Cooper caught me writing!
Later Monday, Geometry
Gosh! Will Jason stop looking at Sara! He's stared at her the whole class. I wonder what his
grade for geometry is since he's developed a crush on Sara. Ohh yeah Mom said that she promised
me that she would not teach me the way Great Grandmere taught her. From what Mom told me about
the way Great Grandmere taught her and if Mom did teach me the way Great Grandmere did I promised
her very strongly(because I'm Catholic and I don't swear) that I would run away. Today Diana
came up to me and looked at me and laughed she didn't even say any insulting things. In a way
this is more insulting than having her say anything to me at all. I almost blabed out to her
that I was Princess Ellisabeth. I still can't belive that she dared to call me Ellisabeth.
Mom said that probably that the length of time we can keep the fact that I am a princess a secret
for at the most three weeks. Miss. Nomon just looked at me and isn't looking happy.
Discreate Geometry:
October 16, Tuesday MTA
Why am I getting neverous? Try outs are going to be in four days on Friday. The people on
the bus are looking at me. There are a couple of people who are allways on the bus. One of
them is this really old guy who allways is either reading a book about World War 2 or
something about that genere. I think it is that he's a WW2 veteran by the fact that he is
really into that stuff. Then there is this twenty five year old woman who must work at
Bloomingdales. She is allways bitting her nails. My stop is coming up got to go.
October 20,Friday My Bedroom
Gosh! Try outs where today five people besides me tried out. They are going to need five
people. That means that one of us is not going to make the second string. I found out that
second string means that you are a regular Drill Team member but you go with the regular team
to parades. But for serious competitions you are like an understudy for one of regular members.
Just in case something happens to them.
I think that I probably have a good chance seeing that Tina Somberg is REALLY uncordinated
I probably have a big chance of making it. Even if Tina Somberg has a perfect size C cup I'm
sure they want more talent than disfunction. Of course Diana was there you should have seen her
when she saw me trying out! Her eyes went really small then they almost dialated in this odd
way. The judges say that they liked my ten hut the best. They say I have got discipline and
figure. The results are going to be posted on Monday. They say that if you are on even second
string that you get to wear the uniform to school three times a week that doesn't even include
spirit days and prestination days. Remember I told you that I go to a private school? Well we
have to wear uniforms. The principal says that they help unify our school so less presure is
put on students to wear the popular thing and that means that we can pay attention to class
better. But I would really like to get out of wearing my plaid skirt and oxford blouse three
times a week and extra events for a very short dark green pleided skirt, in cold weather a
turtel neck and the drill team uniform top. Gosh just thinking about it makes me want to
become a drill team member even more than ever! I have to go Mom and Dad just came for dinner.
October 21, Saturday
Oh my gosh! I have been praying all this time(well ever since Friday after school) that I
get onto the Drill Team. It would be so neato to get onto it. But ohh no not for Sara and
Carrie both say that Drill Team is the bane of their existence. I really think that deep
down they want to be on the team too. Diana called me. Yes that's right DIANA SAMPSON called
ME ELLISA. She said that she thought I was pretty impresive at try outs. She says that even
though I don't have big enough breasts that she suspects that I will get on to the team. Then
she started acting really nice to me. But at the end she said if I do become a member of
the team that I have an automatic and almost obligational inviation to sit with her and her
group. I told her though that my best friend for ever will be Sara. She said that maybe if
I did make it that Sara could sit with the team a couple times. I don't even know how Diana
got my number in the first place. Grandmother since she doesn't want people staking us on
the phone doesn't list our number in any phone book. I guess once some one is destined to
become one of her groupies she will work at finding their number through sources. Today I
got on my compture guess who was on? Mark. His screen name is CMANCMAN which stands for Christs
Man and Catholic Man. He is really into being a Catholic. If I didn't become Catholic my
parents where going to make me Jewish. My Dad is Jewish. But I became Catholic and I am
strong about my Catholic belife in Jesus Christ and that he died for our sins on the cross.
I also love everything about Mary about how pure she was. She is the woman I most admire for
her strength. Geez! The woman had to bear and watch her son die on a cross and have people
tease him and tourture him. I know I couldn't have the strength to go through with that.
CMANCMAN:Hey Moscovitz sup?
Ellisagurlie:NOTHING!
CMANCMAN:Sorry for asking. Lover boy called to ask you to the Halloween Hop yet?
Ellisagurlie:What ARE you talking about?
CMANCMAN:The guy that you would love to French kiss. Mr.Allan remember he's one of my
friends I could put a good word in for you.
Ellisagurlie:You wouldn't dare!!!
CMANCMAN:Please don't yell. If you stop I'll put on my internet camera on and take off
my shirt.
Ellisagurlie:U'r SO funny.
CMANCMAN:Thank you for the compliment.
Ellisagurlie:So Sara really did tell you about truth last week huh?
CMANCMAN:Yup. You guessed right Moscovitz.
Ellisagurlie:I'm so gonna kill her.
CMANCMAN:Please do me a favor and don't kill my sister she's my only sibiling
and I would perfer it if she still was alive.
Ellisagurlie:Ohh I would never kill Sara she's my best friend.
CMANCMAN:I would hope so.
Ellisagurlie:Thanks Mark for cheering me up. That day when Diana said mean things to
me.
CMANCMAN:No problem hope you get on!
Ellisagurlie:Thanks!
CMANCMAN:Hey Ellisa need some one to go with to the Halloween Hop? I'd take you so that
you don't have to worry.
Ellisagurlie:Thanks Mark. But if Allan askes me out you know I'll go with him.
CMANCMAN:Kay bye Ellisa..
Ellisagurlie:All of a sudden why are you starting to call me Ellisa? You allways have
called me Moscovitz.
CMANCMAN:I wanted to see how it felt to call you Ellisa instead of Moscovitz for once.
Ellisagurlie:Uh um......
CMANCMAN: Got to go Moscovitz!
Well enough being said that was pretty odd convestation to have with Mark in the first place.
Ohh yeah my parents came over for dinner last night because they where signing forms for custody
type stuff and Genoviain goverment documents. I'm also sorry that I haven't been able to write
much untill yesterday. See I had to go to meetings about drill team try outs. Also Mom hired
me Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday a private dance trainer Madame Jesuqie. I think
one reason why I did so well in try outs was thanks to Madame Jesuqie guess what? Starting
next week I am going to have to be dropped off at school. Mom is afraid that like her soon
after my make over it won't be safe for me to take the MTA. In the first place before I
even knew I was a princess I knew the MTA is a dangerous system. Once a crazy man came up
to me and started to ask me personal stuff I knew from the first glance that he was crazy so
I ignored him. But no before she told me I was a princess she didn't care about how un safe
the MTA was. Also I will enjoy getting taken to school by my Mom and Dad's chauffer Frank.
He took us home from the Sheraton last Sunday. He is really funny. But get this Mom and Dad
don't ride in a regular car they ride around in a limo. Yes I did say limo. But another thing
that I don't like about the MTA is that it is a long way from home. It takes about an hour to
get to the bus stop which is at the bottom of the big steep hill that I live on. Carrie's
parents have Carrie taken to school by the buttler Mr.Geraldson take her to school in their
limo. Carrie's limo is only a regular limo but Mom and Dad's was a stretch limo. I could
fit all my friends into it, Mark, and maybe half of the drill team in it. I am not kidding.
Gosh Mom is coming over soon to have our first day of princess lesons. She says that from
the time we start princess lesons untill we stop I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette
Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod. Not Ellisa Helen Moscovitz.
October 22, Sunday A Bench in the Glendale Galleria
For once I am going to swear but I will have to go to confession. GOD I don't know who that
is looking at me in this compact mirror that I have out. Seriously I don't okay so here's
how the day went so far. First thing after church Frank picked me up. Mom was allready in
the backseat. I wondered what was going on. I started to figure it out when we came to an
optomistrist building. I knew that I was going to get fitted for my contacts. The situtation
of getting them was pretty boring it took two hours. But then soon enough I got them and then
we headed back to the limo. Soon we where buzzing off some other place. We stopped in front of
the of a office buliding. Mom then took me and headed for a hair studio. Once we got there the workers
shooed every one out. Gosh it was so embarrasing. Having the whole place cleared out for me.
Then the man took me and looked at me. He looked deep in thought. He then talked with my Mom.
She nodded a couple of times then. The man whom I found out was Farado sat me down in a chair
and he had his whole team go and dye my hair light blond very light. They then made it really
wavy with a perm. My hair looked like one of the members of this very popular girl band
Starz Again. They then did a whole big facial even including cumbers. They did everything
to me. The whole proccess even including a manicure and pedicure took three hours. They then
experimented with a bunch of make up stuff on my face. After that I was pretty tried I really
just wanted to go home but then Mom and I got into the car and headed for the Galleria. She
then headed to a store that you had to have an appointment to use. Once we got there we bought
a ton of stylish clothes. I just wanted to buy a couple pair of jeans and some tops but no
Mom wouldn't let me all she bought me where cool and stylish clothes. Honestly I wish that it
wouldn't feel like she hates every thing about me. Oh here she comes.
October 23, Monday Geometry
Gosh I'm so bored in this class today. All we are talking about are stupid verticel angles.
Guess what? Okay so I won't keep you guessing I made the team as first girl! That means that
I'm first in line if they need a replacement for any big competitions. When I saw it I almost
fainted. But thankfully I didn't. When Sara saw me at school today she freaked out big time.
She wondered what had happend to me. I told her that it was because of my parents' visit Grandmother
is now making me wear all this stuff. Sara was none the smarter about me being a princess. Then
right after I explained this to her we went past the front board where the teachers place all
the annoucments and stuff. There it was. The list that had the members of the second string
drill team. I looked at it hoping I was on it in the first place then I saw it at the top. I could
hardly belive it. When Sara saw this she turned pale. I'm not kidding when I say in my life I
had never seen her so pale.
"Sara what's wrong?" I asked Sara hoping to find out what scared her to death.
"YOU ARE THE FIRST GIRL??? YOU MADE IT!?!?!?!?!" She then started crying after she finished
her sentence.
"Is that bad?" I asked unaware if she was happy sad or sad sad or mad sad.
"You are such a bimbo what did you try out for?" She stated back looking at me with much
anger.
"I like dancing. I also wanna be a part of something else outside of creative writing. It's
not that I don't like creative writing, it's just that I want to expand my horzions," I said.
"Well you can join the computer club if you want to expand your horizons," Sara said in
a really high pitched voice.
"Ellisa hello, remember your invite to sit with us, our tabel is right outside on the
cafetria balcony. See you there," Diana said gloating past me.
"You know what Ellisa, I want you to go sit with them at lunch, I dare you too. All they
are being nice to you is because you are now on the drill team," Sara said hissing like a snake.
What is her problem? Doesn't she want me to be happy? Then she left me standing there. I guess
Shellia saw this and pointed it out to Diana. They then came up to me.
"So you got into a fight with Miss. Fisher huh?" Diana said flouncing her nice hair.
"Yeah I can't belive her! She's supposed to be happy for me I just got some great news,"
I said looking at Sara while she was at her locker.
"Yeah I guess she was only your friend because she just wanted to use you some way," Shellia
said.
"Ellisa your hair looks really good," Gwenth said.
"Thanks," I said pushing a strand behind my ear.
"Ohh did you see Mark Fisher Sara's brother today? He looks SO fine," Willa another one
of Diana's friends who is on the team said.
"Yeah he really is something. But I have Allan and I heard he's already taking a girl to
the dance. Who ever she is must be something. Mark is totally fine," Diana said dreamily.
"I know who he's taking to the dance," I said shyly.
"WHO?" Diana and all her friends asked me looking like kids waiting for candy.
"He's taking me. He asked me Saturday," I said.
"He is? Wow you are like so lucky," Willa said
"Maybe Sara was just being your friend so that she could hook her brother up with you,"
Diana said suggestivly.
"I don't think so. We've been best friends since pre-school. At that time Mark would have
only been eight years old," I said looking at Diana.
"How'd you get your hair to be so nice and fluffy?" Shellia asked me looking at my hair.
"Well I got it permed. Do you guys like it that much?" I asked unsure what the answer would
be.
"We all love it. Also you look pretty without glasses you should have gotten contacts a long
time ago," Allan said butting in. I guess if Allan said something they all would aggree with
no questions asked because they all noded their heads. Then the sadly the bell rung singaling
the beging of the day of these awfull things they call classes. Oh no she's caught me! G2G!
Monday, Mirimar Sheraton
I just finished princess lessons with Mom. She taught me today how to talk like how to win a debate,
sound knowledgeable, and know the basic phrases of fifteen languages. She also says that if I
show up again to princess lessons in my boots she would take them and cut them up. She wants
me to wear high heels, nylons, lipstick, and eye shadow. Also I have to have my hair neatly brushed
out before I come. Frank told me this really funny joke. Honestly he's not a bad chauffer.
He told me this knock knock joke about a princess. He made me laugh about being a princess. He's
got a gift I tell you a real gift. Grandmother was really uptight this morning when Frank
came to get me. She kept on asking him to repeat the directions that she gave him on how to
get to Susan B. Anthony. I felt really sorry for Frank at this time. I guess he has some sympathy
for me too seeing how I'm a princess and all. Mom also saw my French quiz before princess lessons
today she looked at the score and started to go on and on in French in words that I hardly understood
but I could pick up a couple of phrases like Je suis zut! This translated means I am darned. I guess
she would have used stronger language if she knew I hadn't taken any French at all but she didn't.
I saw Dad a half a hour ago. He is also worried about my safety he like Grandmother is worried
that I'll get abducted by some international spy or kidnapper. Gosh! My father and Grandmother
could care less about my safety before all this princess stuff happend. Actually the thought of
getting abducted by an international spy sounds kinda interesting. I am embarrassed to write this
down but I have had fantasies of getting abducted by this international spy man Waren who I created
in my dreams. Waren is perfect he has the face of Allan, he has the body of Mark, and he has
the personality of James Bond. Every time in my dreams Waren wants to abduct me because I am actually
the daughter to a rich land owner. Well I guess in some decent respect my fantasies HAVE come
true. I AM a princess. I am Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod.
I just counted the number of names in that and that is seven names. Another gosh! I don't think
that any other girls or guys in my school have seven names let alone five. I have to go now Frank
is ready to take me back home. One thing Mom said was that tommorow I should start to bring
things with me to princess lessons so that I can start to set up a room for myself. I want to
talk to Mom about this I don't want to leave Grandmother alone like that she allready lost Step-
Grandfather she doesn't need to loose me too.
October 25,Wednesday French
Yesterday princess lessons kinda $u(ked. Mom was having a headache yesterday so she took it out on me
I guess. Yesterday she assigned me to read this dumb book on how to be lady like. After all that hard
reading of how to sit properly, how to eat with good manners, how to introduce yourself, and
how to dance she made me take a small quiz. Honestly I am not kidding you she made me take a
quiz. I ended up scoring a really bad grade of five out of fifteen. This made Mom get an even
bigger headache and she said some more Juis suis zuts. I thought her promise to me was that she
wouldn't be so hard on me like Great Grandmere was. I talked with Dad while Mom took a tiney
nap. I actually don't dislike my Dad anymore. He's like Frank I guess. He said that Mom had
a headache that day because she was worrying about me. I then of course asked Dad why she worried
about me. He then said it was because I'm her only daughter, and that she doesn't want any reporters
finding out about me untill I'm ready. Dad told me how when Mom first found out that she was a
princess Great Grandmere called a reporter and told her the whole story. That's the type of worring
I guess Mom is worrying about. I also now feel bad for Mom having to worry if any one will tell
any reporters why she's here in L.A. and who I am. I hope the news about me doesn't leak out any
time soon. I am DEFINATELY not ready to handel the press. Now I also know why Mom wants me to
be chauffered to school instead of taking the bus. What if the story leaked out some how with
out my knowledge and I hoped on to the bus and some crazy nutcase kidnaps me or something like that
because I'm a princess. Ohh yeah. Sarah's still not talking to me today. For the past three
days I have been sitting with Diana, Shellia, Willa, Gwenth, Nadia, Ling Sung, and Freda. Yes
these are most of the regular drill team members. What do we talk about? Well guys, guys, guys,
and fashion. Monday all Diana, Willa, and Gwenth could think about was Mark. They wanted to help
me buy my dress for the Halloween Hop. I also never knew before having lunch with Diana and her
passe how complicated it was to plan one simple dress for a dance. I also got my uniform today.
Our first practice is going to be today after school. But right after practice I have to head
over to the Sheraton and have princess lessons with Mom. I put my uniform on right after I got it
I was so happy. But then Sarah came by with Carrie, Nina, and Heather. Carrie and Sarah looked
at me with ice cold eyes. I guess they where seeing what I had seen in Diana, Shellia, Gwenth,
and Willa before Monday. I honestly don't think they are that bad anymore they just are a bit
on the naive side of how they think they are supposed to act towards other non drill team members.
Actually how we treat them is no better than the way they treat us. I guess both sides are guilty
for making the other one not like them. Oops! Madame Dortheia is looking at me.
Later Wednesday
Good greif! My first day of drill team practice was harsh. Coach Watersons is tough. She made
us do fifty leg streches followed by a half a mile run. That was only warm up. It was followed
by two hours of learning a routine for our next performance. It turns out that I will definately
be doing the next couple of performances. Just today Willa by accident broke her leg. Yup the
word is that she won't be abel to do any drill team stuff for the next two and a half months.
So that means that for the next two and a half months I will be a regular good old drill team member
like the rest of the girls. Diana says that there will be a party at her house after school
next Friday. Ohh yeah Saturn's Rings is going to still come to our school but it's been post poned
untill they are done with their tour which is going on right now. The tour will end in a month
or two so they will not be coming any time soon. Ohh yeah Confirmation classes this week where
cool. We all got into this circle and told each other our thoughts on a scripture reading. I just
wish that Sara and I weren't still fighting it would have been better if we were able to be
more opened to tell our classmates stuff in sharing time. But no we both were filled with too
much pride to admit our flaws.
Mom was really nice to me during princess lessons today. She said that she was actually
sorry for being hard on me the past couple of lessons. Today she wanted me to speak with her in
French the offical language of Genovia. She also gave me culture lessons today. She is vegitarian
she says. I'm vegitiarian but not extreme I will eat a little bit of meat here and there. I hope
that she's like this allways. Grandmother came over to the Mimar for dinner today. We actually
had a friendly dinner converstation. Frank then drove Grandmother and me home after that. Mom
showed me also before I left the room I'm going to stay in this weekend. It is huge! It has three
big closets. Then the t.v. in it is twice the size of Carrie's big screen t.v. it also has a
DvD player and a VCR. It has a CD player. The bed oh my the bed is a queen sized bed. Mom also
bought me a bunch of cool CDs. Honestly I think she's starting to stop worrying about my safety.
Or maybe she's getting all I am a mother I should be happy. Grandmother thinks that Mom is going
to spoil me by buying me all this stuff. I don't she's spoling me at all. Oh no I have a big
three paged essay due for Mrs. Roberts. Mrs. Roberts is my English teacher. She's the moderator
for the creative writing team. So I have to be an excellent student for her she expects nothig
but the best from me. As you can see I have homework to do so I'm writting off.
October 26, Thursday Study Hall
Yes! Coach Watersons is not here today! That means no hard drill team practice. I heard from
Willa that Coach Watersons has never had a day of absence but I guess today she did. Mrs. Roberts
is the moderator for this study hall today. I already had her for English. She loved my three
paged essay. She tought it had artistic genius. Some people think that Mrs. Roberts shows favoritism
towards Sara and me, but she doesn't I really try to be a good student for her. According to
Shellia who sits by me in study hall teachers perfer boys over girls even though they never show
it. Okay at lunch we have a creative writing team meeting. I hope that Sara and I can get along
long enough to conduct a meeting.
Mark talked to me in the hall today. He wants to know who should get who for the Halloween
Hop. I told him that I'd pick him up since I have my limo. He wants to get me since it's considered
proper for a guy to take a girl to the dance not the other way around. I pointed it out that
he had asked so I volluntered. He nearly blushed. I never thought that a guy would blush over
me. It was completely odd to have it happen in the first place. But for some reason I can be
myself completely around Mark. While around Allan I would have never been able to get a word
out edgewise. Then the oddest thing happend. I'll have to write the whole converstation down.
"So Moscovitz would you like to do something after Mass on Sunday? I was thinking the
new movie Fred and Izzy. After that maybe we could have some lunch," Mark said.
"Well I have to check with my parents and Grandmother. But I'll im you after I get answers
to that question," I said casually. Then it hit me. Mark Fisher was asking me out on a date.
I must have gasped for air or something.
"Are you okay Moscovitz? Should I get some help?" Mark asked me.
"No I'm fine. So yeah I'll ask today I promise I'll get back to you by ten o' clock tonight,"
I told him. Oh my I have never been that nervous around Mark. Then the bell rung. Why must that
bell ring? I could honestly hate it. Mrs. Roberts is looking at me I better start to get to
work on my English homework.
Later Thursday
Yes! Mom, Dad, and Grandmother are going to let me go out with Mark. I've got some inspiration to
write something good. And more good news Sara and I have made up. We decided that for the good
of the creative writing team we have to get along and we had a big talk before the meeting. We
sorted out our feelings. I told Sara what I noticed. She felt really bad. She also told me that
she was afraid that she would loose me as a friend when I joined the team. I told her that I
would always be here friend no matter what happend. She then got her confidence back that I would
never turn against her like she thought I would. I then introduced her to Diana, Shellia, Willa,
Gwenth, Ling Sung, Nadia, and Freda. Surpizingly they were nice to Sara. They also of course
asked Sara a whole ton of questions about Mark. Sara answered them happily even if she knew
that they were only being nice to her because one Mark was her brother and two she was my best
friend. Tommorow I will be staying after princess lessons with Mom and Dad. I also asked Grandmother
today about Diana's party. She says she'll think about letting me go to it or not. I have to
go now Sara is on the phone and Grandmother says I have to pack so I can spend the weekend at
Mom and Dad's.
October 27, Friday Mom and Dad's
Okay I guess I kinda like living here with Mom and Dad. Room service is great! I'm not kidding
I can buy as much good for you foods as I like. Then Mom and Dad bought me a couple of DvDs
today I now have a collection of DvDs and Videos. Also my bed is HUGE. It is three times as
big as my bed and Grandmother's or Grandma and Grandpa's. I found out that I sleep in the same
bed as my Mom slept in while I'm at Grandma and Grandpa's apartment and the bed is in the same
room that Aunt Lilly had when she was living with Grandma and Grandpa. Aunt Lilly is coming to
visit in two weeks. All this time she has been living in Washington D.C. she's an intern at the
White House. She's going to run for govenor or something like that soon though. I think that
she would make a great politicain or govenor or what ever she is going to become.
Today dinner was okay I guess. Grandmother stayed for dinner. She kept on checking to see
if Mom knew how to take care and raise a child. Mom of course is capabel of this. I heard that
Mom actually kind of raised Grandmother when she was my age. I still kind of raise Grandmother.
I have to make sure she pays the bills with the check Mom sends her for child support. I have to
make sure that she has done the groccery shopping and other forms of shoping outside of the
grocceries.
After dinner was over with Santel one of the maids for Mom and Dad cleared the tabel for
desert. Desert was unhealthy but delicious. We had five kinds of choclate cake. Honestly Mom
says that I should know this for the next princess lessons because she'll test me on it. Gosh
Mom is strict but not that much. Also a young waiter boy came into the room with a golden box.
Mom and Dad said it was a present for me. I opened the box and found a tiny pearl necklace. Mom
said that it also was a necklace that Grandpere had gotten her for her fifteenth birthday and
this is a make-up gift for this year. My birthday this year was something I really don't want to
remember I had tripped in front of all my friends. It was completely embarrassing for me. Mom wants
us too talk. It's not going to be about princess stuff either, so guess what she wants to talk about?
Yes that's right she wants to talk about the s word. She already had to tell me in public that she
had a vaginal infection and she had to get her tubes tied. Now in private she wants to get all Miss.
Know it all in the s word? Not if I can help it. G2G Mom's coming and she wants to have the talk now.
One word: HELP ME! Okay two words.
October 28, Saturday Mom and Dad's.
I'm BORED! I've finished all my homework for the weekend. Now what am I too do? I can't call Sara.
What if she called *69 and found out that I was staying at the Mirimar Sheraton? She would find out
all about the princess thing. If she ever found out before I turn sixteen and can go to BEAT I
would absolutly die. Mom wants to go shoping for my dress for Sunday. She wants Mark to like me even
more. I felt like telling her: "Mom why can't he like me the way he does right now? What's wrong with me?"
But I don't personally have the guts to tell my Mom this.
Also Santel is actually cool. I started to talk to her today. She has worked for the English
Royal Family before at Buckingham Palace. She said that I would have fun playing with Princess Caroline
the second in line for the throne. The first in line for the throne is Prince Samuel. Lots of my
friends have major crushes on Prince Samuel. He's truly hot. But get this Mom says that she wants to
introduce me to Queen Anne. Prince Samuel and Princess Caroline are Queen Anne and King Peter's children.
Hopefully I will get to meet Prince Samuel if Mom ever does introduce me to Queen Anne. Apparently
Mom and Queen Anne are friends or aquantances. Dad left this morning right after breakfast. He
wanted to get some golfing done while here. Mom is now frantaicly trying to find a store who will make
me a Halloween Hop dress for the dance. Oh my gosh it is so totally embarrassing for me that I have
to find a store that will make a dress that is tall but not so totally big busted. WHY ME? WHY ME?
Okay, I know I should be kind on my Mom after all she only wants the best for me. The way Grandmother,
Dad, Grandpere, Grandma, and Grandpa do. But dear (I'm sorry I can't swear that well) Lord help me
not to strangle her before I turn fifteen and a half. I think I can still tell myself that at least
she isn't as bad as Great Grandmere. So what am I wearing today? I'm wearing a pair of hip hugging
bell bottom jeans with sequins on them, a tube top that has to be held up with super body glue,
a pair of cool black boots, and a purple headband. The phone is for me I have to go.
Later Saturday
Guess who was on the phone? Sara and Mark. I was wondering how they knew I was staying at the Mirimar Sheraton?
But Sara said that Grandmother told her when she called for me last night. Guess what Grandmother had
explained to Sara? She says that there is some sort of oil leak in my bedroom and that with Mom's fianical help
she's putting me up here. Sara can't belive that I'm going out with her brother. She has allways
wanted it to come true but never said anyting before. I asked her when she started to think of these
types of thoughts. She said since ninth grade. I guess then Sara isn't my best friend because Mark
wanted to be near me then I guess. So the Sunday movie and lunch with Mark is still on I guess. Mom
took me shopping like I told you. We now have successfully found a dress for the dance and for Sunday.
Dear me I know I should love my mother and all she went through nine hours of labor for me(Grandmother told
me this when I had to do a family project in seventh grade on the day you were born)and she worries over
me but it's really, really, really, really, really hard to do this when she says that you need a new
dress so a guy will like you. Why me? Why me? Why ME?
Later Saturday after dinner
My Grandpere's coming in to visit me in a couple of days. Okay now Mom is totally going to freak
she's going to make me use all my best manners and stuff like that. Mom was ultra strict at princess
lessons today, she gave me three stupid tests on what forks to use, the proper way to sit and stuff like
that. Again more with the why me's. I got on the internet today. Dad was trying to bribe me to be nicer
to Mom and bought me a laptop compture. All I can say to this is very, very, very, very, good try Dad
thanks for the laptop. Mom also wants me to meet a cousin of mine a Rachel somebody and give her a tour
of S.B.A.P.H.S since she will start to go to school with me. Rachel it turns out is Aunt Lilly's daughter
but she has her father's last name. Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris had a happy mariage for thirteen years
but then it got rocky and they decided that the best thing for the children Rachel and Fred(Rachel's brother)
was to get a divorce. This was so not true. In my whole life I have talked to Cousin Rachel twice. But one
of those times was after the divorce and she so did not like it. I know for a fact that Aunt Lilly still
loves Uncle Boris and he loves her still. Cousin Fred lives with Uncle Boris but Cousin Rachel lives
with Aunt Lilly. Rachel gets to see her father every other month but now she wants to spend more time
with her mother. I can see why. Her mother isn't the crowned princess of Genovia. Her mother isn't making her
spend every afternoon taking princess lessons with her. She doesn't have the name Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette
Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod that her mother gave her and she has to live with for THE REST OF HER LIFE.
Sara called again latter. She wants to know the report on the "oil leak" situation at my Grandmother's.
I told her they should be finished with it by Monday at the earliest. Oh now I remember Cousin Rachel's
last name. Its Pelkowski. No offense but Uncle Boris has an odd last name that personally I wouldn't be
caught dead having. So about the whole name thing it's about even. Aunt Lilly is sending Rachel here to be
with Mom. I have no idea why Aunt Lilly would send Rachel to Mom instead of Grandma and Grandpa. Frank is
trying to tell me something I have to go.
October 29, Sunday Saint Cecilia's
I will soon be going out with Mark! It's a dream come true! He actually got out of his whole proper attire
phase long enough to dress cool! He looks so much hotter than Allan. It's true. I'm not lying. I wish I could
be lying though I don't want to feel these feelings for Sara's older brother it's just not cool and all.
Anyway I don't care if the acopolypse comes I'm going on a date with Mark the hotest real guy I've
ever seen! Why haven't we actually left for the date yet? Mark has to talk to Frank about were we are going.
Now Frank is starting to seem like a body guard to me. He wants to protect me because with Mom and Dad and
all that stuff but he doesn't have to be so protective of me in the fact that I can't go any were including the
hotel lobby without him accompying me. He's cool in the fact that he keeps on telling these really good
jokes to me to keep me sane. He keeps on making me laugh about being a princess that is why I can't
hate him. It's not his fault that Mom and Dad hired him to be my cauffer and all. It's also so not his fault
that I'm a mutated freak in my development and all. Okay I have to go now Frank knows exactly where
we are going to be in case a hired hitman showes up or something to that extent.
Sunday later Grandmother's again
One word: Perfect! Life's perfect. Okay I have to describe to you every detail on how the date went.
Mark and I got into the limo and speed off to the movie theater. Once we were there we decided not to
see Fred and Izzy but a replaying of a movie that was out in my Mom's teenhood called She's All That. We
stood in line waiting to buy tickets. It was starting to get cold and all so Mark wrapped his arm around me
and it felt so good. He wears this awesome colone. He then pressed his body I'm not sure if this was
intened or not against mine. It was the closest thing to the s word I've ever had in my life. I was
pretty darn happy about it. Sadly then we were able to get tickets and he took his arm off me to pay
for the tickets. About the whole s word. I don't plan to have ever except with my one and only husband.
We got inside of the movie theater and got a bucket of popcorn. We then sat down and waited for the movie
to start. We finished the almost the whole bucket of popcorn by the time the credits started to play. Mark
went back and got some more and he was back before the movie offically started. I was captivated at the performance of
Rachael Leigh Cook. Freddie Prinze Jr. was SO hot. But looking at Mark I knew I had my own Freddie
Prinze Jr. right besides me. I just hope Mark asking me out wasn't some big bet like it was for Laney in
the movie. After the movie was done we went outside again to head to the resturant that Mark was going to
take me for lunch. He kept on making sure I was warm enough. I can't belive how cold it got in late October.
The resturant that Mark took me to was Sky Palace. It was was wonderful the atmosphere was perfect. It was
like we were in a castle that was in the sky on a cloud. It was how I truly felt. Mark ordered for me a vegtable
pasta dish that was fablous. For himself he ordered a veggie burger with a salad. Mark and I are both animal
protective. We don't like killing animals on an every day basis. I only eat meat at the most twice a week if
I have to. I can stand meat but I prefer not to kill them for my own benifit to eat. I like tofu so
it isn't a problem. We talked about so many different things here is how some of it goes:
Mark:So did you like the movie?
Me:Yeah I liked it alot. How about you?
Mark: I liked it. It wasn't that shabby for an old chick flick.
Me: You know Laney was so pretty and people didn't even notice it until it was shown on her
outside. That was a bummer.
Mark: Tell me about it. I thought that she was pretty from the start if she just brushed her
hair out.
Me:So are looks EVERYTHING?
Mark:Not really are they EVERYTHING to you?
Me(between laughs): That and if I can have a decent converstation with the person and not
fight with them.
Mark: Me too. I guess.
Oh my gosh! We were kind of flirting. The dress I was wearing was the one Mom got for me for the
date. It was pink and purple. The straps were spagehti straps but the bodice was covered with big thick
layers of fabric so you really couldn't tell that I had small breasts and all. The dress ended at
my calfs. The trim at the bottom was white lace. It was really cute and stylish I was really happy
after all my Mom spent all that time getting it for me. I think Mom is good at heart honestly. But I
have to get back to the BEST part of the date which was after lunch. Mark called Frank and my Grandmother
and told them not to expect us back till later. Both of us wanted to spend the rest of the day togther just
having fun. Mark took me then to Borders. We both had fun for three hours just reading books on
the cruelness of the meat industry. I have never mentioned this before but Mark is a certified genius.
He is one I'm not lying. He takes a couple of senior college courses. Once back when he was in the
ninth grade they wanted him to graduate allready but he didn't want to graduate and leave all his small number
yet of great importance friends. He has everything a girl could want, looks, great personality, intelligence,
integrity, etc. I can't see why after these past two and a half years I have wasted my valuable crushing time
oggling after Allen. He is so last year to me now. So after we read for three hours Mark took me to this
shop that sold old things like antiques and bought me a beatiful real pearl necklace. No offense to Mom
and all but his necklace meant more to me than Mom's pearl necklace. It was dainty and light. Mom's
was fairly heavy and bulky. Once he placed the necklace on me we left the store and headed to a coffe
shop for a light dinner. We had pastries, short bread, and coffee for dinner that night. It wasn't
the most elegant dinner like lunch but I loved every minute of it especially when the only booth open
at that moment was really tiny. It was so tiny that at the most our heads could only be a foot
away from eachother. We had fun during our odd dinner. We talked about the gun laws and freedoms
in the Bill of Rights. We never seem to run out of anything to talk about. We may not aggree completely
on what we say about a certain topic but we never have fought in our lives I don't think. Once Mark
and I each went to the restroom for a pit stop we left the coffe shop and headed to the bus stop. Mark
instisted that he pay my fare but I reminded him that we each have student passes. He kind of blushed then.
Once we were on the bus in the back because it was a long ride we kind of feel asleep. I rested my head
on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me. I was in heaven I knew it right then and there. We
were like this for about an hour which was how long the whole bus ride was. He pulled the chain to
the driver to signal for our stop which was going to be his house. Grandmother insisted that instead
of having us drive through the bad part of L.A. to reach my house that we just simply go to his house
and that Grandmother would send Frank to pick me up once we called to signal that we were back.
Once we reached the front gate to Mark's house Mark dropped his keys to the gate. Unforuntaly Sara,
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher had gone to L.A.C.M.A for the day and wouldn't be back until very late. Mark didn't
want to bother pressing the button to signal for Hillary or one of the other two maids or three
butlers to open it for us. So he reached down to get his keys and I was going to help him search if
he needed it. Once we found the keys our hands brushed up against eachothers and a jolt of pure happiness
swept thru me. We got up and Mark opened the gate to the house. We got to the door and went inside.
I sadly then had to call Grandmother so I could get picked up. After making the sad call Mark went
out with me to the porch to wait for Frank. I heard noises of crickets and nature all around us. Mark
slowly reached downt to my face and pressed his lips against mine it was gentel and soft. In response
to this I opened my mouth and let his tounge enter mine. I just have to a relization. Mark and I were
French kissing. We held this kiss for about seven minutes untill Mark and I headed for the loveseat
which was on the porch. A marvelous thing then happened we started kissing again and again. It was
full blown making out within seconds. It was a wonder we stoped before the limo pulled up to Mark's
house. It honestly was. That was the most perfect night I've had in my whole entire fifteen years
of existence. The only time that I've felt this truly happy was when Mark actually asked me out. I
think I'm in love with him honestly I think I am. Tommorow's the Halloween Hop. Dear me what am I
going to wear? Oh yeah I have the other dress that Mom bought me for the dance. It's orange and
black the perfect colors for Halloween. Oh dear me I have to get made over again! I'm going
to call Mom ASAP.
October 30 Monday The Day of the Halloween Hop, Some class
I'm so eager, excited, nervous, in love, etc. I can't even pay attention to whatever class I'm
in right now. Mom said she'd take me to get my hair and what she calls form made over again. My
perms starting to get kind of limp from the last perm and the color is starting to fade. I think
that Mom's pretty cool to take me to get made over on such short notice like this. Diana canceled
another practice again. Today people were acting odd towards me. I have not the slightest idea why
they are looking and giggling at me. Okay I know I'm starting to look freaky again and today I didn't
have time to put my contacts in so I am wearing my geeky glasses again and I woke up late today
because I spent the whole night writing my last entry about my perfect day. I'll have to get back
to you on why people are treating me like a such a freak.
Later Monday
Dear God WHY ME? Y ME? Y ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? WHY ME? One question: WHY ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I asked Sara why people were snickering at me and she looked at me with this horrifed expression
on her face. She cooly says , "Okay Ellisa when were you planing on telling Mark and me that you
are royality?" I had no idea how she found out about me being Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi
Helen Moscovitz Renalod? Well Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod ?
I asked her this and she shoved at me the Monday Morning edition of the Los Angles Times. On it was
a picture of me coming out of the Sheraton on Saturday morning. I was going out to have a talk with
my Mom about Rachel's visit. Who ever took the photo caught me at a bad time. I looked like a monster.
I turned it to the page that the artical was on and I went on about how I was a "hidden princess in
urban L.A." it also made referances to me being a "princess of the people" when I would get older like
Mom. I actually was just re-reading this entry and I swore again! I have never sworn except that one
time in the mall and it was a justified event to do so. Ever since Mom made me over I have sworn twice.
That was why Diana was super nice to me today. She knows I'm Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen
Moscovitz Renalod. I also just noticed that I haven't gone to confession for the first time I swore.
Okay also how many times have I written my proper princess name in this one entry alone? Let's count okay?
Three is the total count. I now know what class I'm in Study Hall. Sara wants to talk. I brought my
laptop at least now I don't have to lie to her about who and how I got it. Sara's in the compture lab
taking a four week course on science of the internet. She just emailed me.
SFchickSLF: Hey Ellisa sup?
I IM her back
Ellisagurlie:Hey Sara I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier my Mom asked me to keep it quite for
as long as I could honestly I'm sorry.
SFchickSLF:No problem. I also think Mark understands that also. So you 2 going out or what?
Ellisagurlie:I guess so..... He kisses good.
SFchickSLF: I also wanted you to get togther I think I've told you this once before.
Ellisagurlie: Me 2. We are going to the Halloween Hop togther.
Then CMANCMAN is on. Why is Mark on?
Ellisagurlie:Mark what are you doing on for? It's class time for crying out loud.
CMANCMAN: I got permission from Mr. McKay to come down to the compture lab he knows I already
know the material.
SFchickSLF:Hey Mark get back to class or I'll exploit your going to the lab to Mom and Dad.
Ellisagurlie: Sara and Mark please use regular language.
CMANCMAN:Okay.
SFchickSLF:Okay.
Ellisagurlie:Thanx a ton.
SFchickSLF: I wish you 2 a very happy relationship. Dr. Perkins is looking at me now.
CMANCMAN: Okay bye sis.
Ellisagurlie: Bye best friend.
CMANCMAN:Ellisa I think we have 2 talk about last night.
Ellisagurlie: Okay. Mark I think I have 2 tell you that I'm in love with you. I've had these
fellings for a long time.
CMANCMAN: That was exactly what I was going to say. I want to love you. I'm a stupid sentimental
guy you know that but I love you. But once I turn eighteen the law says that we won't be able
to have the dreaded s wor. Not that I would any how.
Ellisagurlie: Okay we can act like you never said the s word. I wanna know r we boyfriend and girl-
friend people? Or r we just friends with benifits?
CMANCMAN: I want to be your boyfriend do u want to be my steady girlfriend?
Ellisagurlie:R u really asking me to go steady with you?
CMANCMAN:Yes. I love you more than Charise and McKayla. I have ever since you were in seventh grade.
Ellisagurlie: I started to like you when I was in eighth grade I guess. Yes I would love to be your
steady girlfriend. What do you want your sappy name to be???
CMANCMAN: Of course Cman.
Ellisagurlie:And for me Bethie. Okay I have to go Cman.
CMANCMAN: Bye Bethie.
I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! I ELLISABETH HELEN MOSCOVITZ HAVE A STEADY BOYFRIEND! NOT JUST ANY BOYFRIEND EITHER!
MARK FISHER!!!!!!!!!! MORE AND MORE SCREAMS.
More Later Monday
Okay it's now French and I have calmed down. Lunch has passed. Mark and I are offically boyfriend and
girlfriend now at S.B.A.P.H.S Diana made me ask him to sit with us at lunch. She kept on passing moves
at him. No offense but I got pretty darn mad. I'm going to ask Mom and Dad if I can send something like
an army to Diana's house and have her put in prision. Probably they whould just think I'm being funny and
all. Oh yes guess what other news is hot besides me and all. Diana and Allan just broke up. Apparently
Diana caught him making out Friday night with Willa and now she hates him and Willa. Willa now hates
Allan because Diana hates her now. At lunch today people kept on approching me at lunch. The group of
rich kids want me to sit with them next Monday. The drama freaks and mimes want me to sit with them on
Friday, the international students who speak French want me to sit with them on Thursday. The brainiacs
want me to sit them next Friday. I promised Sara that I would sit with her and the Creative Writting club
three times a week so we can get more membership. Heck why not use my new found fame for a good use?
So now I see Mrs. Capra the school secretary asking Madame Dupall if I can come to Principal Evans
office. Why does she want to see me? Because of my new fame is she going to ask that I leave the school?
It would totally burn if she did because Mark and I just became steady. I'll report back.
Report back Monday:
Okay Mom finally got the news at lunchtime. She was going to get the paper from the newstand at
the hotel lobby and saw my face on it. She nearly had a hernia from the sound of it. So guess
who was at Principal Evan's office when I got there? Yes Mom, Dad, Grandmother, AND Grandpere.
I hadn't seen the guy in a lifetime and now I was seeing him in the Principal's office. Yes
in the Principal's office. I knew he was coming soon but I didn't know this soon. Once I came into
the office he looked over me and whispered something in my Mom's ear. It turns out that he told
Mom that he will not see me in my sneakers, knee high socks, and without makeup and my hair brushed
again. Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me? Mom got out a pair of nylons and told me to go into the restroom
and put them on along with a makeup kit, and a brush to brush my hair and put makeup on. Principal
Evans gave me a pass so if any teachers find me in the hall they won't send me to her again. So I spent
the next block putting on the nylons and primping is what Diana and her passe call it. I then came
back in only the have my Grandpere tell Mom that he thinks I'm a poplurie which means a hooker or
chicken in French. I'm sure he didn't mean that I looked like a hooker instead of a chicken. So sue
me I never had Mom around because of him when I was young to teach me what the right makeup was.
At least it wasn't as gross as what Grandpere was doing to Mrs. Capra. He was charming her. I think
that deserves a triple ew. I can point out three gross things about that picture.
1)Grandpere is like eighty something while Mrs. Capra is twenty five.
2)Mrs. Capra's a Mrs. in the first place.
3)Grandpere is like a Crowned Prince in the first place he should be diginified.
4)Grandpere had one of his ew ew ew ew testicels removed so ew ew ew ew.
So I pointed out four points that makes it even grosser. I wonder what Rachel is going to think of
Grandpere. I know that he isn't directly her Grandpere but still. What Principal Evans and my parents
wanted to talk about was arranging security. By the end of the whole talk that took the rest of the
school day it was arranged that I would have Frank and this other body guard person Sim be
my body guards. I was told by Mom that she had one body guard when she was in the same exact situation
but for me no it has to be two. Frank is just not enough apparently. Frank and Sim are going
to accompany me to the dance tonight yipee! On my second date with my boyfriend I'm going to be
watched by two bodyguards. This is going to be fun. Also for security reasons now the school is
going to have to put up gates in the front yard by the school bulding around the premisis(I don't
know where I picked this word up in the converstation) which will be funded by Mom and Dad. I found
out over the weekend that Dad could be fincaly stable even without a bunch of Mom's money. When he
first got out of college he won the lotto I'm not making this up, honestly and won at least a million
dollars. So all togther with both of my parent's income I'm worth over a billion dollars. About
the dance Principal Evans says that she will make sure that there is extra security and right then
and on the spot she called Beat and requested the upmost security aviable. I'm sure all the popular
kids are just going to love me now. Because of me it will be almost impossible to sneak in any
drugs or beer. I'm thrilled. One thing that I love about Mark is that he does neither smoke nor
drink. He's too cool to smoke or drink. He also belives that both ruin and corput your body. That
is how he allways looks so good and healthy. That and along with the fact he eats healthy. Carrie
and Heather talked to me again today about dresses after I came out from the Ms. Evans' office with
Frank and Sim. Sim is hot for a bodyguard. I found out that he is thirty and to be quite honest
he doesn't look that bad. But Mark thought at first that he was a prince that I was too married to
and got protective of me. He actually called me Bethie! He makes me love my life in spite of the fact
that I'm:
1)Pretty much flat chested
2)Princess Ellisabeth Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Helen Moscovitz Renalod
3)A Mutated Monster most of the time
4)A second string drill team member
5)A complete freak with all of the above
Oh Mom is now here at Grandmothers' she's going to take me to get made over.
Monday Night
Okay so Mark better show up I went through a whole lot to look this good. I had my hair permed again
which means that I had to suffer smelling rotten eggs for two hours after the whole proccedure. I
got my hair dyed light blond again. I got a body wax AND an eyebrow waxing. I got a manicure and
a pedicure. I also had fabulous makeup put on. My dress is black and orange as I have said before.
It has sleeves that end at my elbows. The sleeves are orange with black splash on the sides. Then the
skirt goes down to my knees. It is like the sleeves except it is the opposite black with orange splash
on it. The neckline is a v. It stoops to show what little clevage I have. Thankfully from what Mom's
told me about her teenage years she knows how hard it is to find a dress that is long but doesn't
need a whole ton of breast development to fill it in. I don't doubt that Mark will show up. He wouldn't
stand me up. That is one reason why he's my boyfriend, he has personal integrity. I haven't had anything
to eat since early lunchtime. I keep on picturing me throwing up on Mark and having him break up with me.
Rachel's supposed to show up in a week. Mom told me so today after she got off the phone from Aunt Lilly.
Aunt Lilly via email sent us a picture of what Rachel looks like right now and she doesn't look to bad.
She has deep brown eyes, her hair is messy blond, she has some development but not to much and she is
kind of curvy. Allan would love her, she's way prettier than Diana naturaly. I know she isn't wearing
any makeup in the picture and she has a really pretty face. She's not to thin that people would automaticly
assume she was an anorexic or bulimic. I think I look pretty good right now too. Mark if you stand me
up you will miss out on a lot. Oh my he is here! He just pressed the intercom. Grandmothers' house
isn't too big on security but she did makesure she got an intercom system instaled at the gate
before she lets any one in. In this case it was Mark! Shrieks come out.
Monday Night Bathroom at BEAT
So far things are pretty good. I promised myself actually that I wouldn't bring this book with me
to the dance but I have two bodyguards so I brought it with me any way. Okay before the dance
Mark took me to this other cool resturant. I don't know how Mark knows of all these cool little
resturants. Guess who was there? Carrie and this boy Tom who she has had her eye on all quater,
Nina with Dawson this guy who is a transfer student from Spain and is kind of a hottie, Heather
with her friend that happens to be a guy named Calvin, and Sara was with Jason! I couldn't belive
it at first. Tom and Calvin happen to be in the tech club at S.B.A.P.H.S which Mark is also in so
they guys weren't left out to much. Jason talked to them on car parts and they happend to get into
a good conversation with Jason. Once we finished dinner Sara, Jason, Carrie, and Tom went with
Mark and me in my limo along with Sim and Frank accompying us. Nina, Dawson, Heather, and Calvin
went to BEAT in Calvin's car. Calvin owns a Mercades so all of us that night were riding in style.
Carrie, Sara, and I talked about how women are so restricted in freedoms still after about a couple
of centuries. Mark, Jason, and Tom talked more about cars. Sim and Frank talked amongst eachother
about how to load a pistol properly which some how reached Tom and the guys joined my body guards
in this topic of discussion. Carrie kind of got mad at Tom for wanting to engage in such a topic
of conversation after that Tom stoped which lead Jason and Mark to stop also. Once we got to beat
Sim got out with all of us while Frank went to park the limo someplace. One thing I told my friends
and our dates about at the begining of the discussion when we first entered BEAT was Rachel's coming
to S.B.A.P.H.S they thought it was pretty cool and didn't make any rude comment about the divorce between
Aunt Lilly and Uncle Boris. After all we are all Catholic Mark being a devotional Catholic and according
to our faith there is no such thing as a divorce but anulment. Actually Jason isn't Catholic but
is interested in becoming one because of Sara and all. After we had settled in around the dance
floor Jason, Carrie, Tom, Sara, Nina, and Dawson all wanted to dance. Once they started to play a good
song we started to dance. After that one had ended a slow song started I danced this one of course
with Mark. We had so much fun. Okay I think Mark will start to worry if I don't come out soon.
November 1, 4 a.m. in the moring Grandmother's
Remember how the dance was going great in my last entry? Well it made a hectic down fall after
I came out of the restroom. Finally I had come out I saw Allan rushing towards me with about ten
reporters with cameras and he forced his grimmy lips upon mine! He was totally being a jerk. After
he got his lips of mine I screamed for Mark who came. I told him what Allan did and he dissed
Allan right there in front of the reporters. I told the reporters that Allan wasn't my boyfriend which
after I had talked to them for about fifteen minutes found out that was what Allan had told them.
I told them the truth that Mark was my boyfriend. Word reached Sim and Frank about this catastrophe
with in minutes and they hauled the reporters off and had Allan kicked out of BEAT for sexual
assualt. Thank you Sim and Frank. An hour had passed before the whole mass confusion stopped.
Mark and I went back to dancing and being merry with Sara, Jason, Carrie, Tom, Nina, Dawson, Heather, and
Calvin. I still was unable to fully enjoy the evening because of the fact that Allan the scumbucket
had pressed his lips against mine to get some stupid media attention. I could kill him. I know
it isn't nice or anything but honestly wouldn't some else feel the same way in my situation? I
guess I could never know this since I don't have magic were I can magicaly change minds with someone.
Also to add to the fact that I couldn't erase this memory people kept on pointing and whispering
behind my back. I could sue Allan for everything he's got. Mark and the rest of the gang along with
me couldn't stand this after two hours so we left. I volluntered to my friends to take them
someplace so the whole evening wouldn't end sour so we all aggreed upon going to this other dance
club in L.A. called Club Disco. Grandmother now says I can go to these places with my body guards
as long as I'm responsible. At Club Disco things got somewhat better. Nobody from our school was
there and it was fun. The fare at the door was about seven dollars a person. I with cash that
Sim and Frank gave me paid for all ten of us. I promised that Mom would pay them back for the
fare. It was worth the cost and much more. It was better than BEAT was. It had three dance floors
and it even had a room off to the side with arcade stuff for the guys. Later that evening I found
out from Carrie that Diana was at the dance and when I had left to go to the restroom she had
made two major passes at Mark who refused the passes. See Mark has personal intgerity. Once it
got to be like one o' clock we left Club Disco for my home. Mark, Carrie, Tom, Nina, Dawson, Heather,
and Calvin left but Sara got special permission to stay the night. I'm going to let Sara borrow
my regular school uniform tommorow while I wear my Drill Team uniform. It's amazing how Sara and
I have almost the same size in everything. We talked until two thirty by then Sara had fallen asleep.
Unfortunately I'm still pretty worked up about Allan kissing me and all. But it was made up by
Mark who Frenched Kissed me again once we left Club Disco. I think I need to get at least three
hours of sleep goodnight. -Ellisa
