I fixed Chapter 1!
Dear Diary, 8:33 PM 4/17/01
Why can't I tell them the truth? It would be much better than lying to them. I haven't played hockey simce before the accident. Mom ran into a tree when I was 10, because she was talking on the phone instead of paying attention to the road. She swerved and I got the full blast. I spent 8 months in the hospital. I was almost paralyzed for life. I'm lucky I can even walk, let alone play hockey. I wish I could just tell them the truth. But I don't want them to pity me. I am so confused!

"Hey! Anybody home?" Julie and Connie stuck their heads inside the door. "Hey. Wassup?" I smiled. "Not much, we were gonna take a walk down to the lake. Wanna come with?" Connie asked. "Who all's going?" I asked. "Does it matter?" Julie asked, she has a twinkle in her eye everytime she's planning something, and she had a twinkle in her eye as she asked.
"No, I just wanted to know." I said. "Well, Charlie, Luis, Russ, Portman, Fulton, Guy, Connie and me." she replied. "Sure, I guess. Gimme a sec to change into shorts." I said. "k, we'll wait out here." Connie smiled. I hid my diary and grabbed a pair of light blue shorts and a white tank top. "Okay, I'm ready." I said. "Okay, I think the guys are already done there."
"So how come you didn't want to play hockey with us?" Julie asked. "No reason, I just didn't feel like it." I said, looking at the ground. "Ylou're lying, I can tell." she said. "You wanna know the truth?" I asked. They nodded.
"Ever since I could walk, I loved hockey, and when I was 8, I got a hockey stick from my mom for my birthday. I joined the PeeWee team in my area, and I loved it. But when I was ten, I was in a car accident. My mom was driving, and talking on the phone at the same time. She ran off the road, and almost hit a tree head on, but she swerved, and it hit my side of the car. I spent 8 months in a hospital, and another 12 months in physical therepy. I was almost paralyized for life. I haven't picked up a hockey stick since. It took me 3 years to get that good on figure skates." I said.
"Oh." was all they could say. "Hey, you guys coming, or are you just going to stand there talking all day?" Fulton yelled. "Look, don't tell them, okay. Please, I'll tell them when I'm ready, okay?" I said. "Okay, but if you don't tell them in 2 weeks, I'll tell them for you." Julie said. "Julie!" Connie cried.
Fulton, Portman and Russ came up behind us and picked them up. I ran away before they could get me. Portman started running after me. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Connie and Julie screamed. "This is cold!" "You can't throw me in if I jump in!" I yelled. "So jump in." he yelled back. "No way! Why don't you?"
Suddenly, my legs gave out and I fell.
