its been so long since last chapter! sorry about that! i promise to get to the new year in the story BEFORE this actual new year. if i dont you can all get mad at me via angry review. as always i love to hear feed back! NOW ON WITH THE SHOW!

I have come to a great conclusion journalthingy. Alex likes Gina! Yeup. I think so. I am 90% sure of it. From what I viewed at Blair's party a few weeks ago and the time between then and now. I think he may be interested. How do I know? I just do. Okay and the fact since Halloween Quinn, Blair and me have been spying on him. And her. For the best. Not because it is fun and highly addicting. Not at all. Purely to seek info to help a friend. Not because we cant help ourselves anymore. No way… in other news… it is 5 weeks till the winter dance. Gina and me are super busy now. We now have a total of $202.00 for decorations. Which is a lot for a school dance. That is a lot of money. 606 dollars total. We made a bunch through fundraising. Which surprised us. We have one more bake sale left. And we have after school time in a classroom to make snowflakes. Finding volunteers is another story. We have the committee and our friends but need a lot more people. And time. We only have 2 days for it and we calculated that over 1000 are needed. It's a lot of cardboard and snowflakes. Many people needed. Know anyone journalthingy? No you don't. You're a journal. You don't know people. I asked my cat too. But she only knows the same people I do. I only received a meow in response. Quinn and Blair are helping. Jeremy said as long as glitter wasn't involved he may help. Don't worry, I have plans to bribe him. Or blackmail. Whatever is necessary. Now its time to stop writing. Movie night with dad.

Angela walked down the stairs to join her dad for a rare movie night.

It was 1 week till the school dance they had about 900 snowflakes done and about an hour left on the last day to do it. Angela had to resort to blackmailing Jeremy to help them out. Only 16 people including Angela and Gina came to help. 16 are a lot of people but other clubs could get over 16 to help do things. Quinn and Blair were in charge of glitter, Jeremy and Alex cut out the snowflakes and Angela and Gina kept those 4 in line and helped out with painting the snowflakes white. It was 5 o'clock and everyone was getting hungry. All of them could see the finish line of 6 o'clock when they could be finished all 1000 of them.

"How many more?" Jeremy whined

"100 more" Gina said trying desperately to be chipper.

"Oh that's all?" Blair groaned sarcastically

"Out of 1000?" Gina added

"Still. It's a lot." Quinn added

"Yeah, I'm going to get trigger finger over here!" Blair said holding up the spray can of silver glitter.

"Drama queen." Angela remarked of her best friend.

Blair smiled cheekily as she grabbed another snowflake to put glitter on.

They were finally finished and all were very ready to leave. Angela and Gina were cleaning up and were the last to leave.

"So… is Alex taking you to the dance?" Angela asked Gina.

"What? No." Gina's eyes widened.

"Why not? Didn't ask?"

"No, he didn't."

"I didn't mean him. I meant YOU."

"I wouldn't ask."

"Why not?"

"I would be really nervous."

"So? How hard is it to say 'hey, wanna go to the dance with me?'"

"Hard."

"Just say it. Get it over with. You guys are closer friends now right?"

"I guess, but… what if…"

"What if nothing. Sweetie, just do it. Rip it off like a Band-Aid"

"I could get rejected?"

"What if you don't?"

"No… Angie… doesn't play that card."

"What card?"

"You know what card! Angela!"

"If you don't do it yourself I will…"

"Don't play cupid Angela."

"Cupid? In December? No. I'm an elf. A love elf."

"Are YOU going with anyone?"

"Sure I am."

"Who?"

"Quinn and Blair."

"That's not going with someone."

"Your right. Its someones. Plural."

"Someones isn't plural. It would be some people."

"Who are you? The grammar police?"

"Fine. I'll stay out of your grammar if you stay out of my love life."

"Fine." But Angela was lying. And she knew it. Angela knew and promised herself she would get those two together if it killed her.

Dear Journalthingy. It is one more week till the dance and I am ready to go! I just came back from doing snowflakes at school with a message on the counter from my dad to not eat. Dinner is being picked up after my dad picks up aunt Lucy from the airport. She is staying for 2 whole months! My dad is going on his mini tour which is starting after the new year and she is staying with me for that time. And the holidays! My dad said this weekend we will get a tree. Then we can make the decorations. Just like every year. Green and red paper chains, painted wood decorations, candy canes. Everything is already been bought. I even bought my dad and aunt Lucy some of their gifts already. Even Panther is getting some new toys. I bought her a battery operated light up collar for the holiday. This year is going to be great! And this dance too. I am excited to see all of our hard work pay off. Well this is all for tonight. See you later journalthingy!
