Dear Diary,

Today, I:

8:00: Got up.

8:05: Snuck into IALB's bedroom with a megaphone.

8:07: Yelled obscenities into IALB's ear.

8:10: Got dressed.

8:30: Went downstairs for breakfast.

8:33: Got told by parents that I wouldn't get any pocket money for 2 weeks because of possible damage to IALB's hearing.

8:34: Reminded parents that they haven't given me pocket money since I started working at the O'Neill apothecary when I was 12.

8:35: Watched mother burst into tears because her baby doesn't need her anymore.

8:36: Reminded her that IALB can barely use a simple fishing rod.

8:37-9:30: Ate breakfast.

9:30-9:45: Walked to Niamh and Louisa's house.

10:00-12:30: Had meeting.

12:30-1:30: Ate lunch.

2:00-4:00: Worked shift at apothecary.

4:15-5:45: Rebel meeting.

5:50-6:20: Packed for trip to Southern 4.

6:30-7:30: Had dinner. Almost as bad as breakfast with family.

7:34: Now. Writing diary; Ellie has been quizzing me about it.

You may notice that I have two meetings on the recount of my day. The first meeting was the one to discuss Ellie's love life emergency. I arrived at Niamh and Louisa's house a few minutes early and talked to Caroline on the phone. Caroline is the twins' older sister who got a scholarship to go and do scientific research in District 5. She's got a boyfriend, actually. Thady, the youngest Connolly, calls him Foxy because he sort of looks like a fox. Then, Mr Connolly, Mrs Connolly and Thady went to a skin cancer prevention convention. The Connolly family are like the 1st gen Weasleys. They all have red hair, so they get burnt really easily.

Then, Bianca, Max and Mike (who wanted to come for whatever reason) arrived and we began the meeting. First, I presented evidence of the horror of the situation: extracts from the diaries. Here is an example from Ellie's:

"Sean sat next to me and my heart was racing. His chocolate brown eyes stared into mine and there was a moment of beautiful connection. I could think of nothing better than kissing him in the rain like all of those girls in the stories. I just want to…"

It goes on to list things that she would like to do. I would rather not talk about those. Max was absolutely distraught when I read that out. His facial expression was so funny; Niamh got out her sketchbook and started drawing it. She did a remarkably good likeness. Several awkward and nerdy comments from Mike and a painful-looking slap from Bianca later, once we had managed to calm down Max, we moved on to Sean. His diary was absolutely awful. For the sake of any innocent children if they happen to stumble upon my diary, I think I'd better leave it at that.

Next, we brainstormed ideas. They are split into 2 categories: prevention and cure. I shall copy down some of the ideas from the sheet of paper into my diary in case we lose it.

PREVENTION

Hijack the school PA system and tell Sean to collect his foot fungus cream from the front desk.

Tell Ellie that Sean thinks that Twilight is better than Harry Potter.

Tell Ellie that Sean thinks all blondes are dumb (Ellie is blonde herself).

Tell Ellie that Sean ships Harmony and Snily.

Tell Sean that Ellie thinks that he is a conceited fish head.

Get Ellie to befriend a poor kid from The Line and then tell her what Sean's dad did to the people that live there.

CURE

Soak all of Sean's nice clothes in fish oil just before a date.

Start crying because Ellie is neglecting me.

Tell them that they'll get their dinner for free at The Fat Gull (my father's tavern; the main one in District 4) the night when one of the big fishing boats gets back and the place is packed with drunk fishermen.

'Bump into them' wherever they are and awkwardly intrude their meal.

Misinform them on the weather and send them out in a thunderstorm.

Drag them to one of Max Odair's basketball games and cheer really loudly.

The rest of the Connolly family came back from the skin cancer prevention convention and we all had lunch together. After that, Bianca and I went to the apothecary and did some work. Some of the people that come in are simply comical. One man came in and insisted that he needed fancy Capitol medicine for Man Flu. A little kid came in and graphically described his warts 'down there' really loudly. Bianca was laughing so hard we nearly had to close down the shop. Towards the end of our shift, Mike came in and asked us if we would like to go to a rebel meeting. He then explained to us that District 13 has already rebelled against the injustices of the Capitol, and that we could do the same. Bianca and I had nothing better to do, so we went along.

I spent half of the meeting eating prawn crackers. The majority of the plans that they had thought of were simply mediocre. They suggested that we should be really loud and obvious, but the Capitol would crush us like bugs! We must remember that they killed Bianca's dad for trying to go beyond the outer fishing boundaries. There is a reason why she has anger issues. Mike made the stupid mistake of bringing that up and Bianca stormed out of the meeting. I decided to take charge. Looking back on it, I may have been a little harsh, but it was necessary. I swear they're all idiots. We should get some adults involved if we want to get anywhere. I've told the leaders of the group to recruit in The Line and The Fat Gull. Those places are hotspots for overworked, Capitol-hating people.

Anyway, I have to go now. We're going down to Southern 4 to visit Abuela and the rest of mother's family. I have to spend 2 hours in the car with IALB. See you on the other side, diary.
