Dear Diary,
The rents totally bought it! They did the whole "Oh we're so proud of our little baby" routine. They contacted Mr. Giles and turns out he's like British, that really impressed them, my parents seem to think that all Brits are like Charles Dickens clones or something. I guess he wants me to get there as soon as possible even though my parents thought he would want me to wait until September. He explained that it was a year round school. So next Thursday it's off I go.
I haven't told any of my friends yet. I don't know what to tell them. I'm going to miss them all so much. Me and Billy's five month anniversary is in two weeks, and we're not gonna get to celebrate. It totally sucks, that was the longest I've ever been with a guy. I've decided to break up with him before I go though, it wouldn't be fair to him to expect a commitment from him when we're so far apart. I think he'll understand, I mean we're just teenagers it's not like we were naming our children or anything. I keep telling myself that, but I know that leaving him will hurt like hell. I think I love him.
And then on top of that there's Stacey. We've been best friends since we were in diapers. We used to go to the same babysitter while our parents went out drinking, or as they called it "having grown-up time." I hate keeping secrets from her, in fact I usually can't. she knows the second I'm hiding something. That's why I don't know what to tell her. The truth? Would she buy it? She'll be jealous, jealous that I get to go to this great school and she doesn't. I know she's just as athletic as me and this is really going to piss her off. I'll have to think of something so that we're on good terms when I leave.
Well speaking of jealous, my sister was pissed. She's the one with graduation coming up in a few months, so she figured it was her year to have all the glory. She's trying to hide it, but she has that voice and those eyes, so I know she's mad at me. But then again, when isn't she mad at me? She's the smart one. She hates that. She hates that I got blonde hair and blue eyes and an athletic body while she got dark brown hair and green eyes. I wish she would wake up and realize that she's gorgeous and sophisticated, something I'll never be. I'll always be cute and fit, but dumb as a post. But I guess that's just the way she looks at it and this did not help. She spent all those years slaving away at books and staying at the top of her class and now she thinks I'm going to some great academy while she's stuck in pubic school all because I can play sports. If she only knew.
So that's the deal. I'm leaving everyone behind, and I can't even tell them why. It said in the letter that my identity has to be kept a secret, and I do not want to screw up before I even get to Cleveland. Which is another thing. What should I bring to with me? My parents are buying me all these posh outfits and fancy school supplies, which is great, but I don't know if that's really what I need. Should I bring garlic and Holy water? Is that really what kills vampires or is that just in movies? In Dracula Dead and Loving It I think I remember an axe. Should I bring one of those? I'm sure the airport would just love if they found that in my carryon bags, lol. Well I guess the letter would have told me if I needed supplies so I guess I'll just pretty much show up empty handed.
I am completely exhausted. I had three tests in school today. I can't wait to get to Slayer training! Well nighty night. TTFN.
