Christmas Break Diary Chapter 7 = First Day Part 1

Hey Journal,

I am back. I took a walk for a while. Well, you want to know about Jay. Jay has green hair and dark grassy green eyes. His best bud is Henry Wong. Those two are really close. Well, wherever you see Henry, Jay is near by. Well, I better get my stuff packed. Today the party thing begins. ~Rika~

Rika double checked to make sure she had everything she needed. Once you go in, you can't go out.

" Tissue…check…lots of clothes… check…um…tooth brush…check…girl crap…check………………………………...................."

~~~30 MINUTES LATER~~~

"…………… a pillow… check… a sleeping bag…check…another pillow…check… mirror…check……………"

~~~30 MORE MINUTES LATER~~~

"…………….and *looks around room to make sure nobody was there*…. Well, I know I have it. I don't want anyone to know. Oh yeah… presents…check… good. I have everything. It only took me about an hour." Rika said proudly. Rika walked through the door and out the back, so she wouldn't see her mom. She also went out the back to see her grandma.

" Oh hi dear. Are you ready to go to that little lock in?" Seiko said sweetly.

" Yes Grandma. I have everything packed." Rika said as she watched her grandmother get up from her chair.

" Now you be careful out there in that snow. Okay? *cough* (that was Seiko…) "

"Grandma. Sit back down. You should go inside. Its too cold for you."

" I'll be just fine dear. Why don't you run along now and see your friends. I love you dear, and I want you to have this." Seiko held out a silver bracelet with a Renamon charm hooked onto it. Rika looked at in amazement.

" I love it Grandma. Thank you." Rika hugged her grandma and ran off. "Tell Mother I said bye!"

Rika slowed down a bit. It was freezing cold. It was colder than it was when she was walking out here about an hour and a half ago. ' Geez, I can't believe I agreed to this.' Soon Rika was at the front door knocking.

" COMING!" A loud squeaky voice called out.

'Take a wild guess Rika. Who could that be?' Rika thought to herself sarcastically. ' Hm, this is a hard one. Very hard. Oh, I know its dun dun dun… the one and only annoying Jeri. Okay, maybe I'm too harsh. The one and only Jeri.' Rika thought. The door soon swung open.

" HI RIKA!" Jeri squealed loudly.

" Hi Jeri. Can I come in?! Its freezing cold out here."

" Sure. Come on in!"

" Jeri! Kazu burned the cookies again!" A voice called out from the kitchen not too far away from the entrance.

" Coming!" Jeri yelled out." Make yourself at home. Only one more person should be here, then we'll lock the doors!" Jeri said happily, then ran off to the kitchen. Rika walked in, and sat down at a table.

' Yesterday. Yesterday was not a regular day.' Rika started thinking.

~~~FLASHBACK~~~

" Lacey! How about this one?!" Hollie said.

" Um, yeah. Looks nice." Lacey said looking at the green and red sweatshirt Hollie admired.

" Oh, Lacey! Does this look nice?!" Kay asked as her eyes glowed.

"It looks really lovely!" Lacey said. You could tell she didn't really mean it. Jeri, Hollie, and Kay couldn't tell though.

" Lacey. Do you think this would go good with my green mini skirt?" Jeri asked as she held up a red short sleeved shirt that had glitter all over.

" Um, yeah, why not?" Lacey said.

' Geez, why are they always asking Lacey questions? Why not me like they usually do? What does Lacey have that I don't?' Rika thought madly. She admitted it. She felt jealous of Lacey. She was getting most the attention. Well, all of the attention. ' Why do they like Lacey so much?'

~~~End of Flashback~~~

Then the doorbell rang. It could only be one person. Ryo Akiyama. The boy who was suppose to be never late, but he was. Ten minutes late. " COMING!" Hollie and Kay screamed running to the door to see Ryo. The boy the admired so much. The two girl opened the door and gave Ryo a big, big, big hug.

" Ow, you're…squeezing… too…tight!" He said. The girls let go. " Uh, its nice to finally

meet you two. I've only seen pictures everyone sent me." Ryo said, and then gave out his one and only perfect Ryo Akiyama smile all girls loved. Hey, even Rika feels weak when she sees it, but always denies it.

" Awwwww! You look cuter than the pictures!" Kay said happily.

" How are your eyes so blue?! Its so magical!" Hollie said. The two girls were hanging all over the poor boy.

' Give me a break.' Rika started thinking,' Come on. Its just another guy with brown hair and blue tacky eyes…'

" Hi Rika!" Ryo said happily. Erik came into the room to see what all the commotion was about. Ryo walked over to Rika and put his arm around her neck. " How's it going Wildcat?"

"RYO! I said it over a million times! STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Rika shouted as she pushed his arm off of her.

" Sorry Rika. I was just having some fun." Ryo said as he gave her puppy dog eyes.

" Hey! Rika's my girl!" Erik said walking over to Rika.
