Disclaimer: I, starzdestiny do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp does. I also do not own the movie "Read it and Weep" from where I got the idea to make a journal into a bestselling novel. I only own the journal and Sakura's alter-ego as well as all the characters in the journal that Sakura keeps.
My name is Sakura Kinomoto and I live with my parents, Fujitaka and Nadeshiko Kinomoto as well as my pain-in-the-butt older brother Touya Kinomoto who is an aspiring martial-artist. My dream has always been to be famous and noticed, to write a book that would hit the top…and that's why I created an alter ego. Her name is Melina Isabella Costello Johnson and she is everything I want to be.
Don't get me wrong, I have awesome friends like Tomoyo Daidouji, who is really my second cousin, Rika Sasaki, Chiharu Mihara, Naoko Yanagisawa, Eriol Hiragizawa and Yamazaki Takashi. But you can't blame me for wanting a little adventure now can you? So my excitement comes in the form of a personal journal which is like story featuring the many people who go to my school…and I call it, The Melina Johnson story. Of course the imaginary high school which all my characters go to is called, 'Saevard High' not Tomoeda High, which is my school.
In reality, I'm your basic average girl who is ignored by the populars and sucks at basketball…don't get me wrong, I love most sports and I even play on the soccer team…I just hate basketball. I am also a klutz who keeps on bumping into walls and I'm actually good at English. Computer Science? Now that's an entirely different story! While Melina (my made up fantasy idol) is a computer whiz, I suck at it. Otherwise, I'm good at most of my other subjects but English is my favourite…even though my English teacher is a little on the eccentric side. After that, my second favourite subject happens to be Math! Yup, go ahead and call me the freaky Math and English girl! Anyways, have I mentioned I'm kinda on the weird side? Well if not, then this is your warning. I can be off in dreamland more times then most people and I write in my personal journal during class sometimes. What inspired me? Well, an English teacher of mine when I was in the third grade helped me realize my love for writing and my fifth grade writers workshop teacher encouraged me even more. However, I only started keeping a diary after I read "The Diary of Anne Frank" in seventh grade. Melina Johnson was created shortly after…
Anyways, enough about me…let me tell you about Melina! Melina has always been the same age as me, always. Right now, she is a high school freshman at Saevard High, while I'm a freshman at Tomoeda High. She is one of the few freshmen who are allowed on a varsity team and lives with her parents, Isabelle and Andre Costello as well as her older brother, Seth Costello and her older sister, Annie Costello. She has long black hair and chocolatey-brown eyes. She is perfect…unlike me! I'm short and I also have emerald eyes which almost everyone else I know finds extremely weird! Anyways, Melina is like a super-genius and doesn't need to study. Her best friend is Josephine Laurence (Tomoyo) and her guy best friend is Cameron Lee (haven't found someone for that role yet :P). Josie (Josephine's nickname) is Pilipino while Cameron is half-British, half-Chinese. Her other friends include he artistic room-mate Maya Oriko who is originally Japanese, another fellow soccer player, Miranda Yoshikawa who is also Japanese and another freshman on the soccer team, Isabel Sanchez who is Mexican and also plays soccer, Jase Kishi who is Isabel's boyfriend ad Cameron's best friend(imagine him to look like Sakai from hungry heart) and plays goal keeper for the men's soccer team and of course, the most popular girl in school, Jessica Riley who has been her friend since seventh grade. Melina also works undercover as a spy for S8, an agency that is run by a wealthy lady who believes in fighting for justice, along with some of her awesome friends.
But this story isn't about Melina…not entirely…it's the story of how my private journal became a bestselling teen novel…and it all started the day when two new students came to our class…Syaoran and Meiling Li.
A/N: This is a story I once wrote, but now, I'm changing it to fit the characters of Cardcaptor Sakura, so all the characters may seem different from the way they were in the actual thing! Hope you like my story! Oh, and please review! Reviews keep the author happy and help them make their story better…so once again please review!
