I'm going to try and follow everybody's advice. I hope, you all like it so
far, I'm going to introduce some romance now!
Dear Diary,
today ahs just been crazy. First of all, I Freddy and I found out we like each other and next thing I know, I'm running home, crying. Maybe Mom's right, maybe I am making a fuss out of it. I just don't know. I don't know anyone else who's parents are divorced. There are plenty of kids in my grade who are 'divorced kids' but I don't really speak to any of them.
Hold on, there's one person I know., Freddy. His parents divorced when he was a little kid. Maybe I could speak to him? No way, it wouldn't work. Things would be too awkward, knowing that we like each other. I'll just have to deal with it until I'm 'allowed' to say anything.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --
"I'm home!" called Mom's voice from the hallway. I sat perfectly still at the table, snapping my diary shut so she couldn't read a word.
"Hi Mom," I said bluntly. Why didn't I get along with her? Any other teenage girl is best friends with her Mom. Me and my Mom, we're too different. Mom is loud and outgoing, I'm quiet and shy. Mom's priorities lie with her work. I care about my family and friends.
"How was your day?" Mom asked, politely making conversation. I shrugged, deciding not to tell Mom that I came home from school early. I knew she'd just make a huge fuss and I couldn't be bothered to listening to her going on about how "we had to get our life back on track" and that "divorce isn't the end of the world".
I left Mom alone in the kitchen and ventured up to my bedroom. It was almost three-thirty and I just wanted to curl up with my diary in my bedroom. But when I reached the hall, I heard the doorbell ring. I walke dover and opened the front door to find Freddy on the porch.
"Hi Katie, I was just coming to see if you were okay. Summer said you went home sick," he said, his hands in his pockets nervously.
"Oh, yeah, I felt sick but I feel better now," I replied nervously. It was kind of awkward. I mean, come on, me and Freddy had just found out we have a crush on eachother and now he was showing up at my house!
"Er....good. I was just wondeirng if maybe you would like....to....erm,.....maybe go and see the new Johnny Depp movie....with me..."
"Okay. Erm, when?"
"Well it's showing at seven-thirty tomorrow."
"Yeah....that would be fun."
"Okay, I'll meet you at the Multi-plex at seven?"
"Yeah, see you then," I said, smiling to myself. Freddy waved shly and then set off back towards the gate, I shut the door over and then leant against it, grinning. I raced right upstairs and and began writing.

Dear Diary,
oh my goodness, I can't believe what just happened! Freddy just turned up on my doorstep and asked me out ON A DATE!!!!! This is unblieveable, and I said yes! So tomorrow, I will be at the multi-plex on a real date.
I couldn't believe how shy Freddy was acting, Usually, he's so confident, especially aorund his friends. Maybe he's just like me soemtimes. I'm looking forward to tomorrow night so much, I don't know what I'm going to wear though! Shall I dress up? Or dress casual? What do I know about dates anyway? I will have to ring Michelle, I'm sure her sister Beth will help. After all, she's a sophmore, she must have been on a lot of dates. I'll have to call her tonight.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
"Katie? Can you come here?" called Mom from downstairs. I shut my diary and went down the stairs. Mom was standing by the door, her arms crossed and tapping her foot impatiently.
Uh-oh. I'm in trouble. I knew it as soon as I saw her.
"Yes Mom?"
"Who was that boy?" My stomach felt as though it had flipped over and my mouth went dry.
"What do you mean Mom?"
"Who was that boy who asked you out?"
How had she heard him? Was she spying on me?
"Freddy, from school."
"Katie, you know the rules!"
"What rules?" I asked. I knew something bad was going to happen, I just knew it. No way could my crush ask me out without something going wrong.
"You're not allowed a boyfriend until you're sixteen!"
"What? You can't be serious, I thought that was something you said to keep me away form boys when I was a kid!" I shouted out. There was no way I was willing to believe such a stupid rule. Mom couldn't ruin this for me.
"No Katie, I am serious. You're not going."
"But Mom...you can't.....you can't....."
