January 11th-after talking to Diane

Oh holy crap. You are never going to believe what Diane just said!

I'll write out as much of the conversation as I can remember for you.

Diane: I think it's about time you and I got to know each other, don't you?

I stared at her in absolute shock. 'Is she actually saying these words?' is what I thought in horror.

Diane: How about you and I go out tomorrow to a quiet restaurant and just sit and talk? Maybe we could do some shopping also, if you'd like.

My mouth had dropped open slightly by that time, and drool was starting to form.

Diane: If...If you don't want to...to go, I completely understand. I just though that...that maybe we could have fun together.

As much as I dislike her, I couldn't stand to see her looking and sounding so sad and disappointed. I quickly assured her that I would love to hang out with her tomorrow.

You should have seen how happy she looked when I said that, Diary. It made me hope that I really WOULD love hanging out with her. Do you think I will?

Maybe I'll finally find out what Dad sees in her. Man, I sure hope so. Otherwise, tomorrow is going to be a VERY LONG day.

A/N: sorry these chapters are always so short.
