a/n: hi! I'm Sarah! (you probably already knew that.) okay umm anyways this isn't exactly my first fanfic. I did write another one for Harry Potter but I got bombarded with flames and I cowered in my room until now! This story just kind of hit me while I was watching SoR last night with my dad. It's about Summer and her insecurities… I know it might not be realistic but just pretend please? And if you review then please be nice. I'm super sensitive and I will cry if I get flames. I'm so nervous I'm like shaking cuz I don't know what people will think about it. I hope you like it. it's a one-shot! (I think.) dude they might be coming out with a sequel to SoR…yayyy!!!! Okay byee!

Dear Diary,
Yesterday was quite an extraordinary day for me, and for my other 14 classmates. Yesterday just happened to be The Battle of the Bands. You know, that competition I told you about where we were competing with other schools. Turns out it was with a bunch of real bands! I can't believe Dewey (the crazy substitute) lied to us like that, but turns out that he actually did like us… He even said I could be President one day! Anyways.. We didn't win Battle of the Bands. Some band named 'No Vacancy' did. but we had gotten something much more valuable instead: a bond. Imagine how three weeks could change your life so quickly. I couldn't help but wonder though, how much longer would the bond last? When we go back to school today it isn't like Dewey is going to be there with a guitar in his hands. Instead it's going to be Miss.Dunham and her attendance sheet. I'm not sure what's going to happen to the band after this. Dewey's thinking of turning it into an after school program. I really hope he does because I'm not sure if I can go back to being the Summer I was before the band. You know what I mean? Before Dewey came I was just the teachers pet, I didn't really know the meaning of friendship. It's hard pretending that you don't care what other people think about you. Hiding behind A's all my life hadn't exactly turned me into the social butterfly either.
I wonder if the other kids were really even my friends anyways… or was this just a temporary thing? I don't know, I hope not. I learned so much about all of my other peers! Turns out Marta actually lives by me! And Eleni likes David Geffen too! But then I think, the only reason I actually got to find that out was because I was pestering them about not doing their work… Now I'm confused. Time to go to school though. I'll see you later.

And with that Summer Hathaway walked nervously out of her mom's car and into the crisp winter air, contemplating all of what she had just written in her diary. "Expect the worst" is what she told herself. All the while wringing her hands together. That's when she felt a sharp tug on her arm. "Geez, Summer you just nearly ran into Tomika!" and she recognized the voice as Katie's. "Sorry Tomika" she said, coming out of her daze. Then as Summer, Katie and Tomika got closer to the school, they were met by Marta, Eleni, Michelle and Alicia. "So Summer, what are you doing today after school?" Marta asked with interest. "Um…I don't have any plans I don't think…hold on let me check my palm pilot!" " Er…okay we were all just wondering if you wanted to come and have a sleepover at Alicia's tonight" Katie said, rolling her eyes at the same time because she couldn't believe A ten year old actually HAD a palm pilot. "You want to hang out with me?" Summer asked curiously. "Well duh, that's why we asked" Alicia answered. "yeah, sure… I would love to!" Summer replied…trying to act nonchalant, although it was hard for her to hold her excitement. Not like the others didn't notice…she skipped the rest of the way into the school and into the classroom for goodness sakes!
"I DO have real friends."
