Momma and Daddy taught me to fly today. Mattie learned too. He grew wings two years ago. I am faster than him though. It is funny because we raced. I smoked his a-word! Hee hee.
According to Momma
the second word I said was the f-word. Hee hee. Bye bye!

P.S. I learned how to spell my full name. Taylor Renee Lawrence.

It's getting close to Christmas. Momma and Daddy never ask me what I want anymore, because I refuse to tell them. Angel does though. She reads my mind and tells them. It gets so annoying sometimes.
This year, I want a black acoustic guitar. The one I want comes with markers that are bright, and you can draw on it. It washes off with water and a rag. It's so cool! Daddy promised to teach me how to play later. Yea!

Today is Valentine's Day. People at school were all mushy gushy. We had a Valentine's Day Party at school though. Daddy got Momma a really pretty bracelet! They got me, Kyra, and Austin a stuffed animal. I got a frog. Jason is going to propose to Angel tonight! Gazzy is taking Nudge to a romantic dinner. They're engaged. Daddy's taking Momma to one too. Iggy and Ella are going to one too. Mammaw Valie and Grandpa Jeb are watching Kyra, Austin, and me.
Love,
Taylor Renee Lawrence

Total and Akila died today! Akila had died this morning, so it really upset Total! My guess is he died of broken heart. Angel was crying, because she really loved them. I felt like crying too! They had been there my entire life…I had known them forever. Mom almost cried, and Dad was even sad. He would never cry. But now, Kyra, Austin, and me are going to bury them. Mom and Dad said we could, because Angel was too upset to. This is a very sad day for us all.
I'll try to write later!
From a very sad,
Taylor
I sighed as I shut my journal. Those were the days…I'm sixteen now. Those were the days that school was fun. You never had to worry about what people thought, or worry about if your boyfriend you're in love with and have been dating for two years was going to break up with you. None of that mattered. You could be who you wanted to be without being judged.
High school is definitely different. You have to worry about what to wear, and what people think about you. It is hell.
"Are you ready?" Kyra asked in her annoyed tone from my doorway. I brushed through my hair one last time. It was brown, and an inch longer than shoulder length. I had brown eyes, and when it wasn't straightened, my hair was a cute curly. I had straightened it today.
"Yeah," I said sadly.
I tried not to care what people thought. I honestly did. But sometimes it got so hard because you had to worry about never meeting someone you wanted to date if your exiled, or not having any friends outside of your family. I did have a boyfriend though.
"You seriously shouldn't worry. Austin and me don't, and we're both happy. You have more fun," she said happily. "Now get your lazy butt up and come on!" I groaned and stood up.
Sometimes I hated
that. Me, Kyra, and Austin could talk mentally. Like they could read
my mind too, not just me read theirs. I could also read everyone
else's, so mine was cooler.
"Have fun!" Dad yelled. I
smiled.
"We will!"
"It's our first day of eleventh grade," Kyra squealed.
I sometimes forgot they were my younger siblings. They had skipped first grade because they were so smart. I could have skipped second, but I wanted to be in the same grade as them.
"You know, we're so close, we could say we're triplets, and no one would know we aren't…if they didn't already know," Austin observed as we walked into school. I nodded.
"Yep. We're tight," I teased twisting three of my fingers around. They laughed
"We're like the Four Musketeers! Or the Four Amigos," Austin said thoughtfully.
"Four Amigos sounds cooler," Jesse, our best friend, teased as he walked up.
I had this huge crush on him. I was literally in love with him...well, he was my boyfriend, so it's okay. No one knew that except him and me. Well, he didn't quite know I loved him, but oh well.
"Sounds good to me," I said shrugging. "But poor Jesse is left out." He pouted.
"Aw. Taylor, I'm hurt," he said before smiling. He somehow made the room brighter when he did that. I shrugged.
"Doesn't hurt me one bit. I'll still get just as much sleep." He frowned.
"Well, I might just have to cry," he said softly. I shrugged.
"Well, you might want to hurry or we're going to be late for first period," I suggested. He smiled again, and he looked at Kyra and Austin.
"See you guys later." They smiled and walked off.
"So, Mattie said you were coming over tonight," I said conversationally. He nodded.
"Yup. It's going be fun. Going to my five best friends' house in one night. And, most importantly, my girlfriend's." I smiled and nodded.
"So you're just getting lucky, huh?" I teased. He grinned and nodded again.
"Promise not to tell Mattie, Austin, or Kyra, but you're my favorite." I smiled.
"I won't," I promised. He brushed his fingers across the back of my hand.
"Good. They might get a little suspicious," he said smiling. I nodded. "You look pretty." I smiled.
"Here it is," I said pointing to first period. He nodded.
"I know. I've been there before," he reminded me.
"Right."
Pre Cal sucks! I hate it! Whoever came up with it needs to die! They probably already have by now though…lucky them. If I got a hold of them, they would have wished they were never born. I hate math in general. It's helpful I guess, but still.
"Come on Jess!" Mattie exclaimed. "You can't seriously be serious." Seriously be serious? "You've never tried Domino's pizza?" he shook his head.
"That's definitely what we're going to have," Austin said in his shocked tone. I nodded.
"Most definitely. Tonight's going to be fun. We can stay up late, watch movies, eat pizza—"
"How long do you think this is going to go on?" Jesse whispered to Mattie. I could tell he was kidding.
"Until someone
stops me. I'm done now." They all let out a sigh of relief. "Well
I feel loved!"
"Jesse loves you," Kyra said simply. We
both looked at her. "Me, Mattie, and Austin do too! The Five
Amigos."
"So, we all love her," Jesse said quickly. Kyra nodded, and he was looking at her funny.
She was the innocent looking one. Austin always looked mischievous. I was in between. I could look more innocent than Kyra, but also more mischievous than Austin.
She put on her innocent look. Jess rolled his eyes, and we all got in my car.
Jesse, Mattie, and me were the only two who could drive, so I did. I had a 2028 mustang convertible. It was turquoise. Not too flashy, but the same color as the mint Chocolates, aka the light blue phones.
"Mom!" I yelled walking in the door. I threw my keys on the table by the door, and I sat my backpack down beside it.
"You know what I
just realized," Kyra said randomly. We all looked at her. "We've
never met Jesse's parents." I looked at him.
"Yeah. We
haven't," I said curiously. "Why?"
"Oh yeah!" he exclaimed. Mom and Dad walked in.
"Taylor, you didn't fall in love today did you?" he asked narrowing his eyes at me. I turned bright red, and Kyra, Mattie, and Austin snickered.
"I have the most embarrassing parents on the planet!" I yelled as I stormed upstairs.
Little update here. Ella and Iggy are married, and so is Angel. Nudge and Gazzy are married, with a daughter named Ashley. She's three. Angel married Jason. Big shock there. Everyone is really in love.
"I'm so tired!" Kyra whined. Austin and Mattie nodded.
"Then go to bed," I suggested. They sighed and looked at the clock.
"But it's only one AM," Austin whispered lazily.
"Go to bed," I ordered. They frowned.
"Yes Mommy," Mattie muttered walking upstairs. Jesse grinned.
"You can be so mean," he said laughing. I smiled.
"So how did you like Domino's?" I asked walking to sit beside him. He smiled.
"It was good. Better than Kyra made it out to be," he said laughing. I sighed.
"So, what now?"
"Let's play truth or dare," he offered. I nodded.
"Okay. Me first. Truth or dare," I said grinning. He thought.
"Dare."
"I dare you to run up and down the street tomorrow morning in only your boxers." He frowned.
"What do I have to do if I don't do the dare?" he asked warily.
"You have to go around the house all day, or until I say otherwise, in your boxers." He nodded.
"I'll do that." I shrugged.
"It'll be funny either way." He rolled his eyes, and smiled.
"Truth or dare."
"Truth."
"How much do you like me?" he asked curiously. I nodded.
"More than you know." He smiled.
"Truth or dare."
"Truth."
"How much do you?"
"How much do I
what?" he asked mockingly. "Okay. More than you like me. Truth or
dare."
"I'm scared to say truth, so I'll say dare."
He grinned.
"I dare you to go kiss Austin," he exclaimed softly. My eyes shot open.
"My other option
is…?"
"You have to find someone else to kiss," he said
simply. I nodded.
"I'll have to
think," I teased. He smiled. "Truth or dare."
"Dare."
"I dare you to make out with Kyra," I teased. He frowned.
"My other option?"
"You have to…kiss the wall," I said smirking. He sighed.
"Now?" I nodded. He stood up and walked to the wall. "This is going to be so weird."
"Let's go," I said annoyed. He sighed and quickly kissed the wall. I grinned.
"Now, truth or dare," he said wiping his hand over his mouth.
"Dare."
"I
dare you to make out with a door knob," he said, grinning
triumphantly.
"My other option?"
I asked quickly.
"Tell me how much you like me." I thought.
"Give me a second to think," I said quietly.
"Come on!" he insisted. "I won't make fun of you."
"Yes you will," I mumbled.
"I would make fun of you more about the door knob," he reminded me.
"Okay fine," I muttered. I took a deep breath. "I've never felt this way about anyone. I have feelings for you too good to describe with words. Okay. Now, truth or dare." He was frozen.
"Truth," he muttered shocked. I sighed.
"Do you still like me more?" I asked softly. He smiled.
"Yup." I looked at him.
"What?"
"Taylor, come here." He grabbed my hand and stood me up.
"Where are we going?" I asked curiously. He smiled.
"You'll see."
