AN: Sorry for the delay guys. I have been having a hard time a work, working two different positions, and having people trying to bring me down with their negativity. I have decided to keep my head up and not let me get it down. So here you guys go.


It had been a month since the party, and Maria truly believed that she had a great group of friends. She knew that Liz did not like her very much, and she couldn't figure out why Liz did not like her. For Maria, her mission was to figure out why Liz did not like her, and to become her friend. Her parents always taught her to be the bigger person and to befriend the person who was giving her the grief.

And since this month had passed, Maria had also developed a little crush on Michael. She did not want to tell anyone, for fear of him finding out, and also a fear of Tess finding out. She did not want to mess up her friendship up with Tess for a crush on her friends' brother. She could honestly say that Isabel and Tess were her two best friends. They did everything together, and they were always together. Her parents also became very fond of the two girls who had become their daughter's best friends.

Dear Diary,

I'm sorry for not writing anything in about a month, but this month has been the best month of my life. Tess and Isabel have become my best friends, and I would not trade them for anything in the entire world. The guys are also my friends and I just love them to death. I do not know why Liz does not like me, but I am going to try to get her to like me. I want to be her friend, and I have tried everything that I can think of, and yet she still does not like me. It is starting to bother me, but I will not show her what she is doing to me. I have also developed a little crush on Michael Guerin, but I am too afraid to do anything. I'm worried that he will not like me back, but I am also worried that it could ruin my friendship with Tess. And we both know that I do not want to do that. So for now I will keep it to myself, and hopefully it will pass. Only time can tell. Well I have to go and do my homework now.

Love Maria.

The next day, Maria woke up to a knocking on her door. Before she had a chance to react, Tess and Isabel both burst through the door with so much energy. Maria was normally an energetic person, but the both of them had far too much energy first thing in the morning. After that thought, Maria racked her brain to figure out what they were both doing there so early in the morning. It was a Saturday and they did not have any plans, well that she could remember anyways.

"What are you guys doing here at 7 am on a Saturday morning?" Maria asked of her two best friends.

"We are going to the mall, and buy all three of us new swimming suits." Tess responded back.

Maria shook her head and got up for the day. Seeing that Maria was getting ready, Tess and Isabel made their ways downstairs into her kitchen to see what her mother was making them for breakfast. While they were downstairs, Maria was trying to decide on what to wear to the mall. She noticed that both of her friends were wearing skirts, so she decided to go with the classic skinny jeans, and white tank top, and a pair of black Chuck Taylors. Walking down the stairs, Maria could see that her mother loved her new friends, and was treating them as if they were her own daughters.


Let me know what you guys think. Sorry that it is so short.
