A/N: Wow! Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I was seriously nervous about posting this. Loved your answers to the diary question!

Obviously, these diary entries aren't going to be in succession. I know when I was keeping one, I sometimes went for days, weeks, months without writing a word.


Summary: Follow 13-year-old Bella Swan's diary over a span of several years as she navigates her first crush, first heartbreak, first kiss, first everything. Daily updates until complete.

Disclaimer: Rated T for teens and older. Obviously, I don't own Bella or Edward or any of the characters you recognize. They belong to Stephenie Meyer. I'm just borrowing them for some fun.

Dear Diary,

Today is Sunday. That means Grandma and Grandpa Swan will be coming over after church. I love them, but Grandpa always smells like cigars. Yuck!

So Ali wants me to go swimming with her at the public pool tomorrow. I don't know why. She has a nice big pool in her backyard. It has a slide and everything! I don't want to wear my bathing suit in public. :(

Oh, I gotta go! Mom is yelling from the kitchen. Oops. Forgot I was supposed to help with dinner!

Love,

Bella

P.S. I put a Hermione sticker on your cover :)


Chapter End Notes: Thanks for reading!

I know these are short, but Bella will be getting a little more wordy as her life gets more interesting. ;)
