So, there's a bit of a story behind this one.

It's my little sister—Katie's birthday, today, and this is part of my present to her. (I also got her a Sims 2 game, which is probably much better. Oh well.) There's going to be more than one of these; and they'll have Bella in them, when we get to the big La Push scenes. So happy birthday, Kates! Love you.

Yeah, 'Becky' is me! Yale is where I'd most like to go, to do Drama. My sister is starting at Edinburgh later this year, and I also have a brother. My parents aren't split, though, and my dad isn't dead, either-- though he did come painfully close to it this summer. That's another story, though. Anyways...

Date: 25th October

Character: Katie (AU)

Stimulus Word: New girl

It was my first day today, in La Push High School.

I turned up today in my rusted old Cadillac, and it was awful. Just like I knew it would be. I was the focus of stares and attention all day. Oh, I really miss Scotland.

The weather, at least, is comforting though. I'm glad it's raining. If it was sunny, I really wouldn't be able to cope.

It wasn't exactly my first choice, though. After Dad died, we had to come and live here with Mum. In America. I miss my friends… My two oldest sisters are lucky—they're both at university, one in New York, one back home in Edinburgh. They aren't stuck here with the other sibling. Groan.

My brother already lived here with mum, but I had to come and move here. I mean sure—it's not like I had to fly on my own, or anything. Becky flew me over when she came for her new semester of university in NYC. I wish I could stay with her…

Instead, we're stuck in this tiny, pathetic little reservation on the coast.

I hate it. And I miss my dad…

Oh: The person who sends me review #100 will get a life-sized, Edward-shaped cookie, complete with sparkles. And a chapter dedication. Although I'm sure you'd rather have the cookie. I would...
