Dear Diary,
I'm starting college tomorrow! I'll be going away to California and I'm so excited. My whole life I've been under my father's careful watch and now, I might be able to have some freedom. Of course knowing him he'll probably have a hundred secret service agents following me. Being the presidents daugher is so exausting. I must be on my best behavor at all times or it could mean a drop in the polls. Hopefully California will be the freedom and normalcy I want. All I want is to be a regular, normal, run-of-the-mill kid but that's not possible. Especially when your dad's the president of the United States.
Joey shut the book, got up from her bed, and placed it in her suitcase. She got up and quietly slipped out of her room, deciding to head to the kitchen, hoping that a snack would help sooth her nerves. Once there she grabbed a piece of cake and went over to the counter. Grabbing two forks out of the pan, she placed one next to the plate and began to eat. Soon, she heard footsteps on the stairs to the kitchen and, as usual, Mike Potter stepped into the White House kitchen. He walked over to where Joey stood eating the cake and grabbed his fork. They ate in silence for a few minutes before Mike spoke.
''Are you nervous about tomorrow?'' he asked his daughter.
''A little. But isn't everyone?'' she replied.
''I wasn't, but then again I went to a school close to my home.'' he said, pointedly.
''Daddy! We've discussed this. I need to get away from here and all things presidental.''
''I know that sweetie but you do know that you must be on your best behavier tomorrow right?'' he asked her.
Joey nodded her head. ''Well dad as much fun as this has been, I'm tired and I'm going to bed. Goodnight.'' she said kissing him on the cheek before heading back to her room.
Mike smilied sadly as his daughter left the room. It seemed like just yesterday that she was his little girl begging to help him with the campaign and now she's all grown up heading to college.
The next morning was hectic at the White House as everyone prepared for the departure of Joey to college. A press converence was set up and many questions were fired their way.
''Mr. President, are you ok with the fact that your daughter is going to school on the other side of the country?'' asked one reporter.
''Well I did think about moving the Nation's Capitol to California but I know Joey can take care of herself out there.'' he replied.
''Joey what will you miss the least about home?'' asked another reporter.
Joey took the stand and replied ''Well that's a tough one. I'm not sure what I will miss the least, but I do know what I will miss the most. My family.''
The plane was ready to take them so the family boarded and took off.
The Potter family sat in a limo headed to California State College. Joey looked out the window and saw the crowds of people lining the streets.
''This isn't what I had imagined.'' she said.
''Maybe in the next life dear.'' her mother, Lily Potter, told her, patting her knee softly.
The limo pulled to a stop and Joey saw a band standing on a stage.
''Not Hail to the Chief.'' she whispered to herself.
To her great disapointment, that was the exact song they began to play.
The Potters exited the limo and they headed into the dorm building.
''Her roomate's name is Jen Lindley. Her parents live in New York and she is from Capeside Massachusitts.'' Lily told her husband.
They entered her room and saw it was still empty.
''Why isn't she here yet?'' wondered Lily.
''You know mom I heard a rumor that some people don't live a day by day schedule.'' Joey said.
''Well we should be going.'' said Mike.
''Already?'' questioned Joey.
''Are you that eager to get rid of us?'' asked her dad.
''The president and the first lady yes. Mom and dad not so much.'' Joey responded. She was finally beginning to feel the small fear as the reality of her parents departure came true. Her mother gave her a tight hug.
"I love you, sweetie. Take care."
Joey nodded, not trusting herself to speak and walked her parents out.
"Remember to have fun Joey." Lily said, smiling.
"But not too much fun." her father warned sternly.
Joey smiled angelicly. "Of course not, daddy."
With final hugs and goodbyes, the president and his wife got back into their car. Joey waved until it disappeared around a corner and sighed, turning back to face her dorm room. She was ready. She could handle this.
