I sat down on my bed, preparing to write in my diary. Leah had just gotten it for me, even though I wasn't too fond of diaries. But none the less, I was tired and had nothing better to do, so I decided I might as well use it. It was late at night, so I grabbed my bedside flashlight and my pencil and began writing.

"Dear Diary,

My name is Ciara Tribal. I'm 16 and I recently moved here to Tulsa with my sister Leah, who just turned 18. What exactly should I say? I've never had a diary before. I guess I'll start with a basic description of myself and my family. I have long, dark brown hair, with faint blond highlights, and light greyish green eyes. I have a thin body, but not too thin. I'm also around 5'4, 5'5 ish. My sister? She's sorta the same, except her hair's longer. and she's a bit taller than me. My family? Um, well, except for Leah, I have no family. My parents were killed in a fire and both had no siblings...that I know of at least. My grandparents have been dead for about 5 years now. Hmmm. What else can I say? Well, let's see...I'm shy most of the time. Leah's real friendly though. She could talk for hours on end about anything. And when I say anything, I mean ANYTHING. I'm also very headstrong and normally hyper. That's one thing Leah and I have in common. We're always either yelling at each other or bouncing off the walls because we had too much sugar. So I guess you could say she's pretty nice...for an older sister. I better get to bed. I can hear her coming up the stairs. I'll never live it down if she finds out I'm actually writing in a diary."

The light flicked on in my room. I heard laughing.

"You're actually using that diary?" Leah said, leaning in my doorway.

"What? This? Oh I was just..." I said as I quickly closed the diary.

"I never thought you'd actually use it." Leah said.

"Oh shut it!" I said and flung a pillow in her direction.

She quickly dodged it, but turned around around and grabbed it just as fast, fliinging it back at me.

"Get to bed silly. Now." She said, laughing.

"Why?" I said, "It's still summer vacation. I don't have school or anything."

"Because you and I are gonna explore the town tomorrow. That's why." Leah said, smirking.

I hated it when she smirked at me. That meant she had something planned. And I wouldn't like it.
