11:42am
Hils was fun last night. Michelle did not turn up though. I do not know why. On Friday, she had said she was coming, and then she did not. I tried ringing her this morning, no answer on both home and cell. Tonight is going to be so madhouse. Mom has gone grocery shopping, and left me here. Sigh. At least school is over, and I at least past all of grade ten with 'acceptable' marks.
I am bored. Maybe it is because I do not know what to do. I will just go and have some lunch.
4:15pm
Still no word from her.
6/8
5:15pm
Just got home from the gym. Last night was so much fun. Most of grade ten turned up! We all partied hard, until the break of dawn. I crashed at Hilary's at around 5.30 this morning. That is why I was at the gym. I am going to tone up these holidays. I read in a magazine at the gym that alcohol can lead to weight gain, which has creeped me out. Therefore, now, I am not going to drink for a while. Funny enough, I saw Michelle last night. However, she was alone, and I did not see her later on. What is up with her? She has been acting all funny.
6/9
12pm
Ah, I love holidays. No school, sleep in's, staying up late, laziness. And another plus factor is that I do not need a job. Lee is coming next week for a visit… great. A whole week with a fucking idiot. Mum is at work. Left Michelle a Myspace message. No response. She has read it, but no reply. Well, ain't you the snob.
Hilary just rang. We are going to Venice Beach after she goes to Michelle's house. I wonder if she will even be there.
7.09pm
So, we went to Venice Beach. Such a lovely place. Michelle went with us. She was still quiet, well kind of. She was hypo, like she had drunken a whole liter of red cordial. On the way home, she drove us. Without a single word said. Apparently, she is going to be staying with her grandparents for a month in July, which is weird because Michelle hates her grandparents. Her mom must be enforcing her or something like that, which is weird, because she does not like them either. That whole family is weird. She apologizes for not replying to my message, saying she was going to call me the next day anyways. Yeah, I do not know about that.
6/10
9 - something?
Beautiful weather is what you expect from California. And you get it. 78F at 9am is my type of weather! Anyways, I am drained and I cannot sleep. Michelle is coming over today, soon. Just us two to hang out, which will be weird. I mean, aren't I meant to hate her? She did sleep with Ray when I was going out with him. And now? Ray has taken over Tyson's spot as the most popular person in our grade, while Tyson hangs out with us and I now date Tala, and that Ray and Michelle have broken up. Soap opera much?
10:47pm
Still, it's stinking hot! Today was fun. Michelle came over early, with some breakfast. She's so skinny; she doesn't need to go the gym. I noticed that today. She's pale, like she hasn't been leaving the house a whole lot. She looked tired. You know, not the 'I've been staying up all night' tired, the emotionally drained tired. I'm now worried about her. Rang up to tell Hilary. Hilary is like her best friend, but lately Michelle and Hilary haven't been hanging together a whole lot. Wonder what that is all about. Anyways, I'm off to Tala's for the night.
6/11
Afternoon
I'm home from Tala's and mom has gone to Santa Monica for the night. Wonder why. She never left a reason, oh well. Time to invite the girls over for some happing partying.
I did that. Including, Miss Michelle.
Phone Conversation Between Michelle Marquez & Mariah Ling:

End of Phone Conversation.
So they should be here soon. Maybe I should check the alcohol situation.
6/12
7:35pm
Last night was good/weird.
Good- We had lots of fun
Weird- Because Michelle was the hypo one, insisting we dare people to run down my street naked.
She did come. Mind you, with three bottles of Vodka. At least I had some tequila. Hilary turned up, soon after with Wednesday. I hadn't seen Wednesday, properly since Hilary's party last Friday. She and Max are dating again, which is cool. Then I noticed that Hilary wasn't talking to Michelle. So, I rather took Hilary away into the kitchen to ask what it was all about. According to Hilary, she doesn't know why. She just says, Michelle hasn't been talking to her for almost a week now. God, I am so tired. Tala should be here soon.
6/13
4am
I can't sleep.
And I'm hiding from Tala in my bathroom. Why? I don't know. This whole Hilary-Michelle thing is bugging me. I tried to talk to Kai of MSN. But he kind of blew me off. He said, he's only spoken to Hilary a handful of times these holidays. Weird, they seem like they were back before Kai broke it off. Michelle and Kai are like best friends. They're always hanging out.
In fact, on Tuesday they went San Francisco. What the hell is going on with us?
Late
Tala found me. That boy has emotional radar or something. I told him, while still sitting in the bathtub. He told me I'm over worrying myself and that I should let it resolve it's self. But I don't know. This whole summer is turning out to be a kind of nightmare.
6/15
8:09pm
The reason why I didn't write yesterday is because I went to Wednesday's and spent the night. She's staying out of this thing. She showed me the photos of her Max that she took the day before. So cute! Mom's gone to the store to get something for dinner, but most likely, she'll give up and just buy some take out.
