*Hazel's POV*

Dear Diary,
It was the night before school and I'm a nervous wreck; I always was. Paige is the calm one and I'm her shadow because of it. As far back as I remember I backed Paige on everything from cloths to how to think. Spinner jokes around a lot about it and calls me Paige number two but he doesn't know it hurts. Who can blame him for me not having a mind of my own?

I remember the summer before grade eight and Ashley had took the ecstasy her brother Toby had gotten. At the time, she was dating Jimmy and I was so jealous. Jimmy is super hot, loaded, romantic, and popular. I told Paige but she just dismissed me. She wasn't suppose to have anyone at the house and Paige persuaded her to have a few friends over for an intimate gathering. Well it got out of hand when she decided to invite everyone, but I didn't say anything. Well, while Ash was upstairs "getting some water" she and Sean swooped spit Jimmy found out. Sean ran out, and Ashley went off on Jimmy saying that she should have broken up with him on his birthday. Then the funniest thing happened Ashley called Paige a hag I thought I was going to die but I held it all in. Paige and everyone else except Terri left and I follow her. I stayed quiet unless she wanted to prove her point by saying "yes Paige" and "you're so right Paige".

Then grade eight came and Ashley screwed up again we made her life hell on earth even though I totally disagreed with whole thing. Paige said we should call her vampire since Ash went Goth. Now she has some new friends Ellie, Marco, and Craig. I think it's cool Ash and Ellie has their own style and I respect them for it. Once again, Paige thinks it's dumb and says that the only style that is cool is her style. I once again, nod and say your right. This grade seven named Manuela, well Manny for short tired out for the sprit squad and she was popin'. Paige started letting her hang out with us and started giving her praise about being the star of the show. I got jealous but I didn't say anything. Later in the gym Paige and I tore interest section, Manny came in and helped. Later while I came out of the bathroom, Mr. Simpson came up and gave me two-week detention for ripping the pages out the newspaper. I wondered if he punished Paige and Manny too. The next day Manny came and told me about happened in the computer Lab and what she said to Paige. How could my best friend do that?

That isn't the worst of my problems I was in love with Marco then he totally dissed me for Ellie. There was a good side to that I could fully turn my attention to Jimmy for a while. Once again, that backfired and he went for Ashley who is now friends with us again. That didn't work out to well because they had both had time to grow and change and they weren't right for each other anymore. As a group, we decided to go on a camping trip to the beach and Jimmy and I totally bonded. It was a perfect weekend and then Monday came. Marco asked me on a date, well Spinner and Paige were going to be there but it was still a date all the same. We were having a great time until Ellie walked in and Marco got all nervous and stuff so he got up for drinks. I decided to get up and help him when he and Ellie's eyes were locked. Next Marco made this excuse to leave, and when he was gone, Spinner followed him. Paige didn't even comfort me she just shrugged and left me there alone. Later I found out that he was gay! Why does every guy I fall for has either a girlfriend or gay. I have to go there's the doorbell, its Paige and she doesn't like to be kept waiting.
