The History of the World, as told by Jeannie Puckett

A/N: Um... I was bored.

Dear Diary,

Hi, there! I'm Jeannie Puckett. I'm fourteen going on fifteen, and I live in Orlando, Florida.

I've always thought writing in a diary was stupid. I mean, no one but you is going to read it (or at least, they're not supposed to…), so why bother writing down everything that happens in your life? I know my life. I'm only fourteen (as stated above), so it's not like I'm going to forget stuff five minutes after it happens. So, you're probably wondering, 'Why are you writing this?' I thought that you couldn't benefit from a diary, but the truth is, I was wrong. A diary is a written record of everything that happens around you, so it gives you one crucial thing:

Evidence.

Evidence is super important around here. The girls I live with always breaking the rules, and then they deny it! Mrs. Nash usually listens to me anyway, but sometimes she won't punish them because I don't have any proof that they did it. Well, now I do! She has to believe me now! Amanda and Jess are evil!

But before I get to that, let me explain a little more about myself. I live in the Nash House, which is foster care. I live with six other girls, and they're all really annoying. They never listen to Mrs. Nash, and they're constantly making fun of me. What did I do to them? Yes, I told on them, but they deserved that! If you don't want to get in trouble, don't do anything wrong. It's as simple as that.

Mrs. Nash is so nice. People just don't like her because she's strict. The other girls say I'm a suck-up for agreeing with her on everything. Honestly, I'm not. I think her ideas are great, and I just want her know I support her decisions. And if that gets me out of doing the dishes, is that such a crime?

Amanda and Jess are my roommates. They're constantly breaking curfew, and they're weird. Someone will insult Amanda, and things go flying across the room! Jess draws these creepy pictures, and says it's the future. She says it's really accurate, but it's not. She'll draw the logo of Epcot, and Epcot opens the next day. That's not drawing the future, that's a company going by a schedule! It's not that difficult to guess! They think I don't know about her journal, but I hear them talking about every night when they think I'm asleep. I know what you're thinking. It's not eavesdropping if you're talking loud enough for other people to hear you. If you don't want people to hear you, don't talk. It's a simple as that.

I go to a different school then the other girls, and thank God for that. I don't know how I'd survive being in the same building as them the entire day. Unfortunately, the school Amanda goes to is the same school that Finn Whitman attends.

Finn Whitman is the cutest, awesome-est boy ever. He's my age, and he has this wavy brown hair and green eyes. Everything about him is perfect. He's handsome, smart, and funny. He's a DHI at Disney World. There are four other DHIs, but he's the best, no question. I have a poster of him in my room that Jess gave me so I wouldn't tell Mrs. Nash she and Amanda sneaked off to MGM (only on the condition that Mrs. Nash didn't ask, of course). I know everything about Finn. His favorite color, his favorite food, his birthday… Jess says I'm creepy for knowing that, and that Finn is scared of me, but I refuse to believe her. However, whenever I try to talk to Finn he says he homework and leaves. He must have a lot of homework. I bet he does great in school.

I'm not the only one who's in love with Finn. Amanda has a huge crush on him, but she won't admit it. I guess she must realize that Finn and I are made for each other, and that she has no chance with him. Jess says that'll never happen. She's wrong. I know she is. Finn and I are going to be married and live happily ever after, and she's not invited to the wedding. (We're going to be married in Paris. It's the most romantic city in the world, after all.)

I have to finish my homework, so I'll write more tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Jeannie P.

A/N: So, I made Jeannie really creepy in this (at least with her obsession with Finn), but she's a really creepy character.

Well, I have actually homework to do, so I have to go. Review! (Please?)
