Blow drying my hair, and putting it into a high ponytail, I reflect on what today had brung. While this morning and after -noon had brought a birthday break-fast at IHOP, and an awe-some spa day with my favorite and amazing Aunt Dana, it had also brought a late lunch, and present opening.Tonight, it would bring my big birthday party that my product-ion comp-any was throwing me.Pulling the gloss over my vibrant, red lip stain, there was a knock on my bath-room door.Opening it, the person on the other side of the door and I squeal-ed out of joy, and hugged one another tightly. After all, it was my amazing Mom on the other side!

For my family's and my annual Fourth of July party, my sisters and I decided to get strapless, a-lined, knee length dresses with polka dots on them.

It was awesome and amazing to be home for the party and weekend!

I pointed out. "In my mind, that is the best part!"

"Ladies, I must say that all of you look fabu-lous in your spa-ghetti strapp-ed, two piece, knee length, a-lined dress-es!" Mom piped, as the girls and my private jet made its way from LA to Dallas.

Brie piped. "On a different note, are these people, and the guy that we are going to be sur-prising nice?""They are very nice and down to earth, especial-ly Kellan." I smiled, feeling my face get hot. "They are HUGE VBJ fans.""That's cool." Vanessa smiled. "Just to confirm, Kellan is your best friend who's birthday party that we are crashing to-night?""Corr-ect!" I smiled.Before any of us could say anything more, the plane was touching down at DFW's private jet area.

Ever since kinder-garten, my best friend, James, and I have called Theran Academy, a K12 school for students with learning dis-abilities, home. Over the years we made a plethora of good and long lasting friend-ships. We are even good friends with the eight other students in our grade. In fact, all of us are good friends with each other.As James and I make our way to the senior lock in, I think about all this week (aka senior week will be offering). While tonight is the lock in, and Wednes-day, is our senior field day at Walt Disney World, Thursday is our graduation!

All of a sudden, an idea popped into Spencer's head. Instead of dwelling on the rain with Sicily, Spencer could teach her best friend and good friends how to let loose dance wise. Whenever she felt down in Los Angeles, or even when she was feeling as happy as could be, Spencer would let loose and dance like there was no tomorrow. Due to the fact that it was awful outside, this was the perfect thing for Spencer to show and teach her best friend and good friends."Sicily, let's go get the guys!" Spencer smiled, getting up from her bed. "I think I've got an idea!"

Truth be told, Lauren was in the same boat. Today was the last last day of school that she would have with Vanna before Vanna moved to LA next month. Even though Lauren was excited that today was the last day of school, she was sad that this was the last one that she would get to spend with her best friend.

"I have been waiting for a long time for this!"I can only ima-gine, sweet-ie." Mrs. Whitmer smiled. "Even though the flight from Dallas to LA, as well as this month will be lonely without you, I am glad that you are getting to do this, because I know that this is what you really want."When Dusty was nine years old, she had tried out for the lead in an upcom-ing TV show. In the end, she had been picked. That summer, Mrs. Whitmer and Dusty moved from Texas to LA to start Dusty's acting career.

"Oh my gosh, guys, it is so great to see you!" I exclaimed, wrapping my parents in a big hug. Breaking apart from them, I smiled and asked "What are you doing here? I thought you were going on a business trip!""We lied." Dad replied.

"Sweetie, wake up." Mom whispered, gently, giving my shoulder a gentle squeeze. "We're home."Slowly opening up my eyes, I slowly and groggily got up from my bed. Going over to one of the buses many windows, my heart did an excited flip inside of my chest. After all, we were back at my home in Houston, Texas.

Ever since Cambrie and I were born, our parents would come to my family's beach house each year to celebrate Labor Day. Since Cambrie and I don't and never had school on Fridays, our families would come to Henley Beach on Friday and stay until Labor Day morning.

As Nikki made her way home for Jameson Ridge High School, tears flowed down her cheeks. Before she had left for the day Nikki had used the restroom. After what she had heard while using it, however, Nikki wished that she had waited until she had gotten home.Shortly after Nikki had locked herself inside of a bathroom stall, her best friends, Erin, Geri Lynne, and Katy had made their way into the restroom. The topic of their conversation? Nikki. They were talking about how it had been a bad decision on their AP Honor Choir teacher's, Mrs. Leggerman, part to pick Nikki as December's State Choir Competition soloist. Erin, Katy, and Geri Lynne had also said that Nikki sounded like a dying horse when she sang. Immediately, the three of them had started to laugh. It had been at that very moment that Nikki had flushed and ran out of the stall. She hadn't wanted to hear another cruel word come out of her best friends' mouths.

Today is the last State dance competition that I will ever compete in. This makes me a little sad. On a different note, I am also very excited about today's competition.

Dear journal, Today's date is one that I will never forget. Two years ago today, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. One of the reasons that I remember it so well, because the diagnosis occurred the day before my twin brother, Kyle's, and my fifteenth birthday. When I told Kyle's and my mutual best friend, Brett Ford, Kyle's girlfriend, Brett's fraternal triplet sisters, and my best friends, Kelly, Courtney, and Sara, they were beyond devastated. To add on to the devastation, I told them that I would have to spend the summer at The Long Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. As it turned out one summer turned into one year. Due to how aggressive that my cancer had become, and all of the surgeries, chemo, and radiation treatments that I needed, I was enrolled into the cancer center that my parents owned, The Long Cancer Center. The bright side of being in the hospital for that long of a time was that I was able to keep up with my school work, successfully complete ALL of my AP English courses that I would ever need to take in high school, spend time reading my bible and praying, and work on writing lyrics. On June 24th, 2016, I was released from the hospital and placed into Long Rehabili- tation Facility, which is the other facility that my parents owned. After an entire year of residing at LRF, I am finally returning home tomorrow to Denver, Colorado. My Mom is flying in tonight. In addition to returning home, I am also excited about seeing my family and my best friends. The last time I saw my parents was last month. However, I saw my family and the Fords together was in March. The Fords and my family had come to visit me during Spring Break. I have truly missed everyone deeply and am looking forward to finally being with them again. I am especially looking forward to seeing Brett. I honestly that my crush on him grew stronger during my stay at the hospital. On a different note, what makes the home-coming even more special is that it is going to be a surprise. As far as Kyle knows, Mom is going out on an overnight business trip to Denver. Won't Kyle be surprised when he learns that that is not what it is, at all?
