dear diary,

first day of senor year. I'm about to do it. After all these years i'm going to a real school i'm really terrified and kind of excited for one in my life something exciting will happen to me, something new. Hopefully.

Betty closed her dairy shut and went to look at herself in her mirror. She was a short small girl with freckles abstracted on her cheeks. She also had thick dark brown hair that was sightly curly at the ends that she had tied back in a ponytail she was wearing a blue sweater and a plaid skirt with white tennis shoes that had seen better days.

"Betty! Mona's here!" "coming!" Betty yelled from upstairs making her way down to the first floor. "hey have a great day sweetie" Betty's mom said to her. "we're proud of you" her dad said

"Thanks guys" Betty gave them both a quick hug before heading out the door.

"get in loser! were going to be late!" Betty smiled rolling her eyes typical Mona getting in the side door of the car. She was a tall blond haired girl her ends of her hair was dyed red she was wearing a black tank top and ripped jeans. "smoke?" Mona offered a cigarette "i'm good" Betty said Mona rolled her eyes "God, just live a little you only get to young once"

"yeah exactly I don't want to spend it dead" Betty said "that stuff is really bad for you"

"your never going to change are you? your so Innocent." Mona said taking a smoke then slowly letting her breath out. "look if you want to live in this hell hole your going to need me. This place is a war zone"

Mona parked the car getting out and grabbing her backpack. Betty got out swinging her backpack over her shoulder closing the door behind her.

Betty looked up at her new school Westerburg high. "ready for this?" Mona asked her "no" "mean ether. let's go" Mona smirked Betty laughed "it's really that bad?"

"you have no idea"
