Dear Journal,
Today I met a girl named Tally Youngblood, and she really wants to be in my group called the Crims. I'm thinking about letting her in, because she really does still think like an ugly. I hung out with her for a couple of hours and she said that she wants to escape Pretty Town and go back to who she used to be. I'm going to hang out with her more. I think I might have a plan to escape with her. I told her about how I too, was suppose to escape with David but I chickened out. She opened up and told me that she saw an old friend from the smoke named Croy today. He gave her a piece of paper directing her to the Valentino mansion, room 317. I went with Tally to the mansion, and soon realized the only way in was through the top. We jumped on our hover boards and began our journey to the very top. When we reached the top, there was a little metal door, but it was locked. Tally then said that she had an idea on where to find the key. She said there was a test we had to past in order to retrieve the key, and the test was climbing the Transmission Tower. The reason we had to climb was because the height was too great and there were no magnetic fields to hold up our hover boards, plus it was a good way to keep both of us bubbly. The Transmission Tower was the tallest tower in Pretty Town, and when we reached the top we snagged the key. We backtracked all the way down to the Valentino Mansion, and opened the metal door to get in. Inside was abandoned, and smelled old. We looked for room 317, but we couldn't find it. Then Tally noticed that there was an elevator in between rooms 315 and 319. We noticed the elevator was locked, but solved it by using the key again to open it. Once it opened we noticed there was another room, my guess was that it was room 317. I stepped out and looked back noticing Tally still in the elevator standing there. I went back in and saw that she had a letter and two pills in her hand. She had a blank stare and numb facial expression. I asked her who the letter was from and she said it was from herself from before she turned pretty. I asked her what the letter said, and she said it was an agreement she made to take the two pills once she was pretty so she could be cured. She said it was the only reason she became a pretty. In the next few minutes we heard hover cars pass over and knew right away it was Special Circumstances. Someone must have seen us climbing the Transmission Tower and reported us to the Specials. In the mist of this all happening, Tally was standing there saying she couldn't take the pills. I had to fix this, and get us out of here in time so I offered to take one of them. She said it was impossible, that it wouldn't work because you need both. The distress in her voice was pulling at my heart. We were running out of time and needed to make a decision. Tally was then telling me how scared she was, since the Specials were coming. I really like her, and I couldn't let another moment go by of her being scared, so the only way I thought to calm her down was to kiss her. A moment later our lips connected, she didn't push me away, but we were still kissing when the Specials walked in. After that everything went black. I would right more but since the blackout I can't seem to remember much lately. I hope more will come to me over time.
