Getting dressed into my black one shouldered top, and my white skinny jeans, I thought about what tonight would bring. Tonight, Levi would be escorting me to the eighteen and under club to go dancing. I have been there a couple of times and it is a really fun place!Making my way downstairs to meet Levi, I could not help but feel excited! After all, tonight was going to be an awesome night!

"Lacey!" Landon, my good friend and longtime secret love interest, exclaimed, as we ran towards each other."Hi, Landon!" I smiled, as we met up and embraced in a big hug. "It's so great to see you!""Likewise!" Landon exclaimed. Breaking apart from the hug, and giving me the once over, Landon smiled and said, "Just like always, you look great!""You look great, too!" I smiled back, blushing a little.Before either of us could say anything else, a plethora of our good friends (The whole cast and crew were our good friends), excitedly made their way over to us and bombarded me with a big group hug!

Taking a warm and relaxing shower, I cannot help but think of all of the things that today had brought, so far. After picking me up from the airport, Mom had taken me to lunch. Afterwards, we received massages and facials. After that, we came home. Even though, I am here in town just for the night, let me let you a little bit of why I am in town.My lifelong best friends, twins Eli (My lifelong secret love interest) and Ellie, turned eighteen today. To celebrate, they are having a co-ed sleepover with a plethora of our good friends. I know this because both of them have told me about it, and how awesome it is going to be. They also have said a plethora of times that they wish that I could be there. Unbeknowst to them, I will be crashing the party. The only people who are in on the surprise are my Mom, aunt, and the twins parents, Emerson and Eddie. With this said, I am truly excited about tonight!

Home-coming is next week, and I am hoping that a special and certain someone will ask me to go with them. That person is none other than my best friend and band-mate, Henry. As we have spent time hanging out with our best friends and making music, he and I have gotten closer. In fact, I have developed feelings for him. You may think that this scares me a little. No, it doesn't. In fact, it makes me happy

Due to the fact that I have a big, kind, and genuine heart, I have always been the most popular girl at my school, and have been good friends with every-one in my school! Even when I was diag-nosed with cancer the second semes-ter of my sopho-more year, I still kept in contact with every-one through them visiting me, Face-Time, phone calls, and emails. As my wonder-ful and amazingand wonder-ful parents and I made our way out of the hospital for the last time, due to the fact that I am now, as of yester-day, cancer free, I could not help but smile. After all, I had a great summer ahead of me.

As the tour bus made its way to the performance center, Everly took a deep breath. In just two hours, her first concert of the tour would be kicking off. Was she nervous? A little. Excited? More than anything. After all, her best friends, as well as Tom and Tori, would be there to cheer her on.

As Poppy made her way home from set, she let the tears fall. Today had been a hard day on set. It wan't because of anyone fighting or not getting along. In fact, Poppy and her co-stars were a big family and got along great. The reason that Poppy was sad and emotional was because of a hard scenes that she had had to shoot, The scenes had spread such a raw and authentic light on how bad bullying has gotten, that it had broken Poppy's heart.

As I prep my in-famous orange cran-berry salad in the kitchen, I hear some-one coming through the kitchen door."Hi, Em! Do you need help with any-thing?" A familiar and kind voice said from behind me.Smiling and turning around, I said, "No, but I could sure use a hug from you!""That's funny, because I could sure use an Emilia hug!" Darren smiled, coming over to me, wrapp-ing his arms around me, and twirling me around. "It's so great to see you!""It's great to see you, too!" I ex-claimed, as Darren put me down. Giving me a once over, he smiled and said, "You look great!""You do, too!" I smiled, grinning from ear to ear.Ever since Darren's parents and my parents were in kinder-garten, they have been best friends. As luck would have it, Darren and I have been great and close friends for a long time! Even though he is two years older than me does not matter to us. In fact, it makes our friend-ship strong-er.

"Thank you everyone, and Merry Christmas!" Spencer cheered in her microphone. "I love you all!"As Spencer made her way backstage to her dressing room, she could not help but smile. Tonight had been truly amazing and successful! Truth be told, there was nothing that could make this night any more amazing!Opening the door to her dressing room, Spencer was proven wrong. Standing in Spencer's dressing room with a bouquet of beautiful flowers in his hand was Shiloh!

Sitting around the table with my wonderful family, a strong sense of pure joy and happiness filled my heart. I was finally reunited with my family for a couple of days, and spending time with them before preparation for my family's and my annual Christmas party, as well as the actual party, began. Truth be told, there was no place that I would rather be at this very moment than here with them. After all, I love my parents and sister to the moon and back!

Dear Journal, Tonight is my school's Homecoming dance, and I could not be more excited! Not only am I a nominee for Homecoming Queen, but my best friends and I are going to dance the night away! We have the dresses, the shoes, the hair, nails, toes, and makeup for tonight! Even though I am looking forward to tonight, I am also a little sad. Three weeks ago after four months of being together, my boyfriend and I called it quits. The long distance was getting hard for us, so we made the hard decision to call it quits. The good news for this is that there is no animosity or anger between us. We have nothing but respect and good wishes for one another! However, this does not change the fact that I miss him, and sometimes wish that we could get back together.-Mitchie

As Olive made her way into the Hyatt Regency hotel, she took a deep breath to calm herself. There was no reason to be nervous. She knew the book content and characters like the back of her hand. Most importantly, Olive knew that she had what it took to portray and become Wendy Willis.That, in itself, is what really mattered.

As I fly from Los Angeles to Albu-querque, a nervous seed plants itself in the pit of my sto-mach. I haven't been home since Christ-mas, and here is why. While at my family's and my Christ-mas party, my best friends and good friends told me that I suck at what I do, that they wish I would dis-appear, etc. To make matters worse, my twin sister sided with them. Even though they tried calling and texting me saying how sorry they were, I did not pick up the phone or text them back. Six months later, I still have not talked to them. How-ever, I am ready to make amends.

I think the anticipation of seeing your best friends, Jesse (aka my longtime secret crush) and Jocelyn Jenkins, their parents (my parents best friends), Trent and Tara, the beginning of a new adventure definitely has the capability of stimulating one's energy and excitement! Why am I so excited, you ask? Well, for starters, My family and I will be flying to Houston tomorrow for the summer. Second of all and most importantly, my best friends and I will be filming a movie together starting Monday. It is called "The New Road." It is based on a four book bestselling teen series by Kelly Anderson-Jones. Oh, and did I mention that my best friends and co-stars happen to also be my longtime favorite actor and actress of all time? Yeah, I did not think so

"Mom, I'm home!" I called, shutting the door behind me."Hi, sweet sweet, how was your final day of school of the semes-ter?" Mom asked, greeting me with a big smile and hug."It was great!" I smiled, hugging Mom back. As we broke apart, I smiled and said "You look both anxious and excited at the same time. What's going on?""This is what's going on." Mom replied, handing me an enve-lope.As I took the enve-lope, and looked at it, my heart, did a flip inside of my chest! After all, the letter was from Texas Tech Univer-sity!

Moving on, let me tell you a little bit about tonight! Right now, as we speak, my band mates and I are on a flight to my home-town of Salt Lake City, Utah to surprise Tina, best friends, and our good friends, at her birthday party that will be taking place tonight at 7:00 at the Hyatt Place. While there, we will perform-ing her favorite song from my band mates and mine in acapella. Even though we usually sing our songs with music, we are VERY fluent in singing them in acapella!Even though my band mates and I are only going to be here for a few hours, and fly back tonight to LA, getting to see every-one for a short while is SO worth it!

Dear Journal, There are many perks to being a senior at Porter. One of them is the SENIORS ONLY lock in on the first Friday of the school year. Tonight happens to be that night. With this said, let me tell you a little bit about what tonight will bring for my best friends and me. Tonight, we will be hanging out and spending the night in Porter with our five other classmates, and having the time of our lives dancing, doing karaoke, watching movies, playing fun games, etc. Two of the plethora of amazing high school teachers are going to be the chaperones. With this said, I am so excited about this that I can barely stand it!-Beverly

My suitcase is packed, and I am showered and ready to go. Even though I woke up before my alarm, I don't care. Due to the fact that I am beyond stoked and excited about the trip that my boyfriend, best friends, parents, and I are leaving for today, I could barely sleep last night.On a different note, I have a feeling that this trip is going to be amazing and one that I will remember for years to come.

For years now, the tradition of going to an open mic restaurant on the first night of the trip had been set in stone. Truth be told, it was one of my favorite traditions of the trip. Due to the fact that Danny was with us, it was going to be even more fun!"So, Danny," Dad began, with a big grin on his face. "Do you think that you will get up there and sing?""I'm planning on it!" Danny replied. "After all, I have never sang on stage before, and it looks like fun!"Before any of us could say anything more, we were arriving at the restaurant.

"I feel like I am going through the motions or something." My best friend, Lillian, said."How is it possible that graduation day has finally arrived?""That is all that I have been thinking about this morning." I replied."Seven hours from now, we will officially be high school graduates."As Lillian and I made our way to Stripling for dress rehearsal, I thought about what I just said, in seven hours, I will have graduated and conquered my career as a high school student.

"Honey, I am so glad that you are able to be here with the Gra-ham's and us at the beach house this week, even if it is only tonight-to when we leave on Friday.""I am glad, too, Dad." I smiled, giving his free hand a gentle squeeze. "Thank you for picking me up at the airport tonight, Dad. I truly appre-ciate it.""It's my pleas-sure, sweet-ie." Dad beamed. "And before you ask, Callie, Geoff, and Mom are the only ones who know that you are coming down for a couple of days. Hunter does-n't.""That's good!" I smiled, feeling relieved. "I can't wait to see his face when he sees that I am here!"

I have never been to a prom before, much less a school dance. It's not that I chose not to go. In fact, I would have gone if given the chance. The reason that I have never gone to a prom or dance is because my homeschool group doesn't host them. We have field trips and parties, but not proms or school dances.Even though I have never attended a prom or dance, that is going to change tonight. I will be attending boyfriend and best friend's Prom tonight. I am so excited about this that I can barely stand it!

"What are you thinking about?" Adriana smiled, noticing the huge grin on my face."I was just thinking about asking you to race me down the beach.""You're on." Adriana replied, the smile not leaving her face. "When I win, what do I get?""A date with me tonight to ring in your birthday early.""I like the sound of that." Blushing a little, Adriana continued, "If you win, what do you get in return?""A date with you tonight to ring in your birthday early.""So, I take it that, either way this plays out, we are going on a date tonight?""I guess we are ." I smiled, my heart happily and excitedly thudding inside of my chest.

As I tried on my light blue polo with The Parra School logo and my short, khaki skirt, a happy tear rolled down my cheek. I had been waiting an entire year to wear this uniform again. I had also been waiting an entire year to eat caféteria food, attend classes with my best friends, Zoe Stinson and Erin Brekke, my wonderful boyfriend, Seth Brekke, friends and classmates, and, of course, walking through the halls of The Parra School. Due to how aggressive my cancer was last year, as well as how sick it made me, I had to miss and entire year of school. Even though a tutor came to the hospital and the rehab center where I was staying, it still wasn't the same as attending regular school. I missed the socialization and atmosphere that Parra had to offer. I missed seeing my best friends, boyfriend, class-mates, friends, and teachers on a daily basis.Thank-fully, that was all going to change tomorrow. After a long and painful year of being away, I would be returning to Parra as an upperclassmen.I am truly excited about returning to Parra, as well as about the fresh start that I have been given. I am so excited in fact, that I don't know if I will be able to fall asleep tonight!

Even though Celeste loves what she does, and is happy in LA, Celeste misses being a normal teen. Tonight, how-ever, she gets to be just that.As we speak right now, Celeste and her parents are on their private jet to Houston so Celeste can surprise her best friends, Jordan, Kate, and Connor for their prom.

My body is healthy, my pulse is good, but my heart is broken. My eyes are swollen shut, my hair is a mess, but it doesn't matter. I am in my bed where no one can see me. I am safe from people asking how I am doing. I am safe of having to pretend to be okay when I am not. After all, why would I be okay? I caught my boyfriend of one year cheating on me with a girl whom I thought was my best friend.

As Amberly looked around the beautiful and large mansion that she, her parents, and their housekeeper, Jemma, now called home, Amberly's heart filled with gladness. Not only did moving to Henley Beach, Florida mean a beautiful new home, it also meant a fresh start. Back in Houston, Amberly had been bullied and tormented by her class-mates quite often. It had even gotten to the point where Amberly had a hard time trusting her peers. Just when Amberly thought that things would not get any better, something awesome happened. Her Dad had been asked to relocate to Henley Beach, Florida, and become the preacher of Henley Beach United Methodist Church. That had been back in March. Almost four months later, the Johnson family had gotten on a plane and made their way to their new home.Even though it would take time for Amberly to get to know the students at her new school (which has a zero tolerance bullying policy), and church, Amberly was willing to give it a try. After all, these people could end up being future friends one day.

Much to Mandy's and my surprise and excite-ment, the director and produ-cers of our show granted us a one week vaca-tion, due to our hard work. Immed-iately, I had called Mom and told her the good news! Instant-ly, she had suggest-ed that Mandy and I come down to Henley Beach to stay with her, Chelsea, Chase, and Caden at their beach house. After all, she would be down there any-ways!One month later, Mandy and I are on our way to Orlando (Mom is going to pick us up at the private plane area of Orlando Int'l Airport, and take us to Henley Beach, which is located twenty miles outside of Henley Beach.), and looking forward to the fun and relaxing week that awaits us!
