Tonight at around 5:30 pm, my best friends a some of our close friends will be coming to my family's and my mansion for a fun-filled co-ed welcome sleepover party. Not only will there be good food, dancing, pool time, etc, but there will also be a good time had by all. I look forward to this party each year because I get to finally see my best friends and friends that I haven't seen for awhile. With this said, I am so looking forward to tonight!

"Oh my gosh, you guys!" Savannah squealed, giving each of her best friends a big hug. "What are you doing here?!?!?""We couldn't miss your junior high graduation tonight." Garrett smiled. Clapping Brady on the shoulder, he continued, "Thanks to Brady, your Aunt Lydia, and Uncle Charles, we were able to make it.""As you know, I have been filming a movie for the past month and a half. Well, during my lunch break last Thursday, it had hit me once again that you would be graduating from junior high tonight." Brady explained. "After filming had wrapped for the afternoon, I had called your house and it had been your Aunt and Uncle who had answered. During the conversation, I had told them that it would mean the world to me if I could surprise you and be at your graduation. That is when your Uncle had invited me to come stay with you guys today through Sunday. Your Aunt had even said that I was more than welcome to ask Shana and Garrett if they wanted to join me. Thankfully, I was able to get a few days off from filming."

"I am so excited that we got to do this tonight!" My amazing and wonder-ful twin sister, Emily, smiled, as we enjoyed our milk-shakes. Frown-ing a little, she added "After all, we haven't been able to do this since...""I know." I replied, gently putting my hand over my sister's. "The good news is as of yester-day, I am cancer free, and as of today, I am finally home.""That it is!" Emily piped, smiling once more. Raising her milk-shake, Emily smiled and said, "Here's to you, my lovely and amazing sis, and may this summer be every-thing that you want it to be and more!"

Letting the warm water wash over my body, I feel excited and truly at peace. Yester-day, my doctors had told my family and I that my aggress-ive brain cancer that I had been battling for two years was officially gone, and that I am able to go home today! Hearing this exciting news that we had pined for for a long while made Mom, Dad, my twin brother, Dallas, and I hold each other and cry tears of joy!Turning off the water, and grabbing a towel, I could not help but smile! Today was the first day that things would finally be getting back to normal, as well as the fact that a great summer was in my horizon!

As Shauna washed the color treatment residue out of my hair, I could not help but smile to myself. I was in love with the new color that I had chosen. It truly went well with my hazel eyes and olive com-plexion. On a different note, I was also smiling because I felt happy. Besides having the most wonderful boyfriend and best friends that a girl could ever ask for, I was also very excited that I had finally come to a decision about which school that I would be attending in the fall.The best part? I don't have any doubts that this is the school that I was meant to go to.

"Girls, I must say that you have some good looking friends." Stella smiled, as she, Sicily, and I changed into our swimsuits. "That we do." Sicily agreed. "Out of all of them, who is the one that truly caught your eye?""Brian." Stella replied. "What about you, girls? Who do you have your eyes on?""My sweet and amazing longtime boyfriend, Seth.""For me, it would be Sebastian, Sicily's twin brother." I replied, blushing a little. "I have secretly been in love with him for as long as I can remem-ber."After Stella, Sicily and I finished changing into our swimsuits, we went downstairs to my indoor pool to meet the other guys and girls who had been invited to my after party! After all, it was time to get the party started!

Tonight was the 25th Annual Winter Music Awards. It was also the band's second time to be invited back. Not only were they up for Single Of The Year and Album Of The Year, They were also up for Artist Of The Year. Last year, Amberly, Branson, Michael, and Nicolette had won Single Of The Year and Album Of The Year. This year, their goal was to nab all three awards. Even if they didn't win all or any, it would still be more than okay with the band. After all, they had been invited back again to one of the biggest awards shows of the year.

"IT is so great to see you, Glo!" My amazing and awesome camp counselor, Henley, exclaimed, giving me a big hug. "I am so happy and excited that you get to be here this week!""Me too!" I smiled, hugging Henley back. "Who is all in our cabin this week?""Grace, Mischa, LeAnna, you and me.""That's awesome!" I replied, excited that my three best girl friends were my cabin mates. Ever since we were babies, Mischa, LeAnna, Grace, and I have been the best of friends. Even when my family and I moved to Los Angeles when I was twelve so I could start filming my TV show, it did not put a damper on our friendship. In fact, it made our relationship stronger! It also made my relationship with our best guy friends, Eddie and Craig (my secret love interest) stronger, too!Moving on to present day, let me let you in on what is happening. Today, I boarded a plane from Los Angeles to Houston to attend Camp Linson, a summer camp that is forty five minutes outside of Houston that my best friends and I have attended for as long as I can remember. After I landed this evening, a limo took me from the airport to the camp. When I got there, Henley had met me at the main building to help me get registered. On a different note, let me let you in on a little surprise that Henley, the camp directors, and I are in on. I have not seen my best friends or camp friends since last summer. As far as they know, I am not able to attend camp this year, due to filming commit-ments. That is exactly what I want them to think. After all, it is going to make this surprise even more sweet!

Christmas has come once again, and Poppy could not be more pumped. Not only is this Christmas going to be packed with fun activities, but her and her father's mansion is going to be packed with people! Not only are Poppy's favorite Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin coming to stay for a few days, but Donovan, Seth, and Mia will also be staying, too! Without a doubt, this Christmas is truly going to be one of the best Christmases that Poppy has ever experienced!

Due to the fact that today was Jerica's final Sunday worship-ing at her church, as well as the youth choir, before her big move, Jamie, the wonderful youth choir director had decided that the youth choir should sing Avalon's "Every-thing To Me"at the 11:00 traditional service. After all, it was Jerica's favorite song. Second, Jamie had also asked Jerica to sing it as a solo. Even though Jerica knew she might start crying, she could not think of a better way to say goodbye than to sing a solo.Before she knew what was happening, it was time for the youth choir to make their way into the sanctuary.

"Ladies and gentle-men," Miss Gunder-son, my high school's amazing princi-pal, smiled and began. "It is my honor and privilege to present to you the class of 2021!"As the crowd cheered, and the gradu-ates and myself threw up our caps and gowns into the air, tears of joy and sadness stung my eyes. Even though I was happy and excited about having gradu-ated high school, it was hard for me to say good-bye. What made it harder was today and tonight would be my last ones in town for awhile. This was due to the fact that I would be leaving tomorr-ow and starting my career as an actress. Even though I am excited about my new career, it will be hard to say goodbye to my plethora of good friends, especial-ly my lifelong best friends, Carly, Howie, and Xander. Thank-fully, I had my post grad pool party to look forward to tonight!

"I am so ready for summer to begin!" Este exclaimed, keeping her eyes on the road. "In fact, I have been ready for a while now.""I have to, girl!" I exclaimed, excitedly. "I am ready to go on tour!""Same!" Turning her attention from the road for just a second, Este smiled at me and said, "I love touring with my best friends.""Me too." I smiled back.As Este and I made our way to our last day of school, I thought about how fun this summer was going to be! In two days, my best friends, parents, and I will be leaving for the tour. Before the tour officially begins, my parents, best friends, and I will be making a small pit stop in California. Before our tour kicks off in Los Angeles, we will be spending a couple of days inAnderson Cove, California. It is tradition that before the tour officially starts, my parents, best friends, and I spend a few days at my parents and my large beach house before kicking off of the tour. Truth be told, all of us are truly excited! Before Este and I could say anything else, we were pulling into our high school's parking lot.

Ever since she had left for Los Angeles to live with her favorite aunt and to start filming her show all of those years ago, Dallas found herself missing her family like crazy. With this said, she would find herself thinking that she would give anything to get one day, one hour, or even a minute with her parents, good friends, and best friends. One more hug would even suit well with Dallas. Don't get me wrong, Dallas loved her career and life in Los Angeles. However, she missed getting to see her parents, good friends and besties on a daily basis. Moving onto today, today is a very special and exciting day for Dallas. Not only is today her eighteenth birthday, but it is the first day of the weekend stay with her parents(She will be staying with them from today until Sunday). Truth be told, this weekend is the best birthday present that Dallas could ever ask for!

"Claire Nicole Walker."As I walked across the stage to receive my high school diploma, I could hear my best friends, fellow grad-uates, parents, and the rest of the guests cheering for me.As I smiled and shook my wonder-ful and amazing princi-pal's hand. I gently pulled her in for a hug. "Thank you for every-thing." I gently said into her ear."It's my pleas-ure, sweet-ie." She replied, hugging me back. As we broke apart, I made my way off of the stage, and back to my seat. As I watched my best friend and secret love interest, Glenn Wilford walk across the stage to receive his diploma, my heart became full. Today and tonight would be the last time that I would see him until I moved to LA tomorr-ow to live with my favorite and amazing Aunt Bea, and start filming my new TV show.

"Your sister is going to come undone when she sees you at her pool party, sweet-heart." Dad smiled, as he picked me up from the private plane part of Hobby Airport. "Just like every-one, she misses you greatly.""I miss her and all of you, Daddy." I replied, taking Dad's free hand in mine. "I am just glad that I am able to be here for the after-noon." Not only is today my twin sister's, Ivy's birthday, it is also my birthday, too. Due to the fact that it is a big birthday for us, I wanted to surprise her at her birthday pool party! The only ones who have known about this surprise this entire time are my aunt and parents. Truth be told, this is going to be one surprise that my sister, our best friends, and good friends will never forget

As Sicily and I talked to some of the other girl campers, I felt something cold hit the back of my head. Putting my hand over the part of my head, I felt ice cream in my hair.Turning around, I came face to face with Sebastian, Seth, and their cabin."Guys, you are so going to pay for that!" Sicily exclaimed.Moments later, We took two cans of whipped cream and sprayed them with it. Immediate-ly, an ice cream fight between everyone broke out!

Before my wonderful and amazing parents, and I moved to L.A. when I was fourteen so I could film my new show, we resided in Dallas, Texas. Growing up from a baby to teenager in Dallas brought me some very amazing people, including my best friends, twins Liza and Lucas (My lifelong secret love interest). It had also brought me Mumford Christian Camp, a summer camp for kids ages 10-18 located an hour and a half outside of Dallas. From ages 10-13, I attended the camp each summer. After I moved to Los Angeles, however, I was not able to. The last time that I was able to attend MCC was two summers ago.From what my best friends and plethora of good friends and camp friends understand, I am not able to come to camp this year. That is exactly what I want them to think! After all, it makes the surprise that much more awesome ( The only ones who know about me coming are Jackie and the rest of the camp staff!)! As Jackie and I made our way from baggage claim to her car, I could not help but smile. After all, this week was going to be awesome!

When "Teens Sing 17" aired for the first time on June 1st, there were fifty contests hoping to win the grand prize. Eight weeks later, there are only two. One of the finalists is a sixteen year old girl from Wyoming, and the other is Eden. Besides tonight being the finale of the first season of the show, it is also the night where the winner of "Teens Sing 17" is announced. Besides the winner receiving a $1,000,000 check, they will also receive a recording contract with Brewer records. More than anything, Eden wants the winner to be her.

Being an inter-national super model has a plethora of advan-tages. Not only do you get free clothes, access-ories, etc., and get to travel to exciting places, but you also take part in fashion shows, work with amazing people, make good and lasting friend-ships, and get paid well monthly, even when you don't model in a show! With this said, my lifelong best girl friend, Steph-anie and I love our job! As Steph and I left the fashion show with a plethora of new dresses, jewelry, and purses in tow, I could not help but smile! After all, this was a great start to my birthday

It can't be, I think to myself, as I watch my lifelong best friend, and secret love interest, Lynn Edwards, and her older sister, Lexi, make their way into their mansion from my bedroom.Even though I can't help but wonder what Lynn is doing here in the first place, I cannot deny that I am happy that she is here. After all, this is a sign from God that this is my chance to make things right!

Dear Journal.Today is a big day for me, filming wise. Today is the day that the kissing scene that takes place between my character and Pearce's character will be filmed! Even though I am excited about kissing my good friend/ secret love interest, I am also a little nervous. This is the first time that I have ever kissed someone in front of a camera! There is also the fact that this is going to be my first kiss! Even though it is my first in front of a camera, as well as EVER, I am not going to count it as a first real kiss. That will take place with someone special!-Peta XOXO

Before I knew what was happening, I was getting up from my seat and walking over to where he was sitting. I don't know what prompted me to walk over to him. Maybe I knew him from some where or I was curious to see what his deal was. However, I knew one thing was for sure. I had definitely met this guy somewhere before.

In a few minutes, my flight would be leaving, escorting me from Dallas to L.A. Since my movie was filming in L.A. this summer, I would be staying with my Aunt Pamela, Uncle Patrick, and cousin Piper. I am truly excited about spending my summer with them.

There are not enough strong and kind words to describe my best friend, Aaron. He is smart, gentle, kind, genuine, down to earth, and so many other wonderful things. Aaron is also fiercely loyal. When I was grieving over a breakup, he was there to hold me. I truly believe that it was because of Aaron that I was able to get over my breakup so quickly. With all of these wonderful things that Aaron possesses, it isn't any wonder that I have developed feelings for him. Just so that we are clear, these are not rebound feelings. They are real and authentic. With this said, I am going to take a chance and ask Aaron if he wants to go to dinner and dancing tonight.

Ever since I was a freshman, I have danced on my church's youth dance team. This team was made up of girls in the high school grades. Three years later, I have the honor of being captain of the team. It is truly an honor.Moving on to today, let me fill you in. Today is Easter Sunday, and the dance team and I are dancing in front of the contemporary worship congregation. To make this even more awesome, we are dancing a dance that I came up with and choreo-graphed. Truth be told, I can't wait to show it off to everyone!

"At this point, you are probably wondering about why I called an emergency assembly." Clearing her throat, Mrs. Ingrid continued, "After the winter formal on Saturday Night, a student was attacked on campus."Immediately, whispers of curiosity filled the entire room. However, I stayed quiet. Feeling unsteady all of a sudden, a thought of who it was went through my head. Feeling like I was going to be sick, I tried to will the thought from my head. After all, it was too awful and scary to think about to bear."Quiet down, please." Mrs. Ingrid said, urgently. After the room became silent again, she continued, "On Saturday night, Meredith Nash was jumped and beaten mercilessly in the parking lot. While Valerie Waters, the instigator of this awful deed was sent to the juvenile detention center, Miss Nash remains at Oliver Children's Hospital in critical condition."

While at band practice a couple of weeks ago, I had gotten a call from my cousin, Samantha. She and I are very close. During the call, she had asked me if the band and I could play some songs at her upcoming Sweet 16 birthday party today. Excitement filling all of our hearts about performing our first gig, the band and I had said yes. After all, this would be our first gig!

"Tor, your Aunt is really cool to let all of us spend a few days at her mansion for Christmas." I smiled at Tory."I could not agree more." Tory smiled back. "Getting to spend time with you guys, my Aunt, boyfriend, and good friends is truly the best Christmas present that I could ever ask for this year."As the plane touched down at Denver International Airport, we could not help but smile. The best Christmas ever was about to begin.

Dear Journal, Today is Thanksgiving Day, and I am feeling beyond thankful. Not only is my cancer gone, and I am out of the hospital, but I am with my family, best friends, and their parents for Thanksgiving. Last year, I celebrated Thanksgiving in the hospital. Even though my wonderful and amazing parents were there to help me celebrate, it was nowhere near the same as celebrating it at home with everyone. I am truly thankful for a plethora of people and things, especially being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my parents and the people that we love.-Addison

Dear Journal, It has been three years since I have been a camper at Kramer Christian Camp. Instead of spending it there with my best friend, Erin, and my boyfriend and her twin brother, Seth, I have been in hospitals and in rehab centers getting treatment for Stage 3 Breast Cancer. Thankfully, I am cancer free and am able to be a camper this summer at my second home. In fact, Erin, Seth, and I leave tomorrow for Orlando, Florida. That is where our camp is located. To add on to the good news, Erin, Seth's, and my band, Flight #99, will be leading worship every Sunday morning. The three of us will also be getting paid $200 a week for leading it.Journal, Since this is the first summer in a long time that I have not been sick, as well as things getting back to normal, I have officially decided to make this summer my Do-Over Summer
