"What is this woman, Jessica, like, this lifelong best friend of yours?" Pop sen-sation Derek Wyatt asked, as he, his sister, Delia, and Mom Delilah, made their way from Orlando Int'l Airport to Henley Beach. "Is she nice?""She is very nice!" Delilah smiled. "She also has a daughter around you guy's age, too!""That's cool!" Delia piped. "It will be nice to have another girl my age in the house for the month that we will be at your friend's beach house!""It will, but before we get there, I must tell you guys some-thing." Delilah said. "The girl, Jo-hanna, is a cancer survivor, and is bald, due to the fact that her hair will never be able to grow back.""Okay." Before anyone else could say anything more, they were arriving at the extra large beach house.

After all of us had returned to the cabin from Magic Kingdom, Ilanna and I had decided that it was a good time to take a nap. As we crawled into her bed, she put her head on my chest, and I put my arm around her shoulder, we instantly fell asleep.As I slept, I decided right then and there that I was going to tell her how I felt about her tonight.

Walking down the runway wearing the strap-less plunging neckline floor length red dress, I felt like a prin-cess in it. After all, it was one of the most beautiful dresses that I have ever seen and modeled in! Due to the fact that I got to keep all of the things that I modeled in after each show (purses, shoes, dresses, etc.), this meant that I would be keeping the beautiful dress, the amazing red, strappy, low heels, and the plethora of things that I modeled in!Happy birthday to me, I smiled, as I made my way back to the waiting line.

Ever since the twins and I were five years old, it was tradition that our parents and I go to Walt Disney World one time each summer. This year, it was decided that we go on my birthday. Even though I had been a plethora of times (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE going to Walt Disney World), it was Carmen's first time going! With this said, I am glad that all of us are here to celebrate my birthday.

"Zoe, are you sure that it was okay that we celebrated your birthday on Sunday, and not today?" Evie asked, as she, Zoe, Meggie, and Audrey's large private plane escorted them from Anderson Cove, CA to Audrey's hometown of Orlando, FL. "After all, turning eighteen is a BIG deal.""For the millionth time, sister, I am great with it!" Zoe smiled and laughed. "Besides, I am on the way to the best birthday gift that I could ask for: I am getting to spend my summer vacation in Orlando, FL with my sisters! Life is truly good!""Can't argue with that." Meggie smiled. "Spending the summer with my sisters, Audrey's wonderful family and her best guy friends sounds like paradise to me.""Me too." Evie and Audrey smiled. Turning to Audrey, Evie asked, "So, sister, how has your hot and kind brother been doing lately?"

As my girlfriend took a shower, I decided that this would be the best time to talk with everyone about Holly's birthday surprise. After all, Holly was in the shower and would not be able to hear us. This was definitely a good thing.

From age 10- when I left for LA, I would attend Camden ChurchCamp, a camp for campers ages 10-18 located two hours outside of Dallas. I would attend this camp with my best friends and plethora of good friends. Fast forward to today, let me tell you a little bit about what is going on. My best friends and plethora of good friends think that I am in LA. What they don't know is that I am here at Camden, and will be here for the week. The best part? The entire staff is in on it! Due to rhe fact that I wanted to keep this a surprise, I arrived thirty minutwa before the other campers were supp-osed to arrive!Smiling to myself, I could not help but feel excited! After all, this was going to be a surprise that my best friends and good friends would not see coming!

"Oh my gosh, guys, it is so great to see you!" Megan Tyler ( Janet Ho-ward's best friend, Maggie'sMom/ volun-tary Aunt/ Janie Ho-ward's lifelong best friend) squeal-ed, giving Janie and Janet a big hug."It's so great to see you, too, Aunt Megan!" Janet smiled and piped. "Thank you for letting us stay the night tonight!""It's my pleas-ure, believe me!" Megan piped. "Maggie and the other party guests are not going to know what to do when they see you tonight!"Smiling, Megan added, "Why don't you leave your duffel bag here, and go upstairs to see Magg-ie? I know that she would love to see you before the sleep-over birthday party starts!"

Moving on, let me tell you about what is going on today. Today is my twin sister, Jessica's, and my eighteenth birthday. From what she has told me, Jessica is having a co-ed sleepover party! What my sister and our plethora of best and good friends don't know is that Timothy, Celia, and I are coming to town for the night to surprise her and everyone else at her party! Due to the fact that everyone who will be at that party are die hard fans of Timothy and Celia, including my sister who has never met them, it is going to be a big and wonderful surprise for them! The only ones who are in on the surprise are my aunt, uncle, and parents!

Dressed in my a-lined, above knee white dressed and silver, strappy low heels, I truly felt beautiful. On a different note, I am truly excited! In two minutes, the guests will be arriving for my fourth annual Christmas party! Due to the fact that all of my other parties have been a huge success, I truly believe that tonight will be a success! No, make that a HUGE success!

Dear Journal, due to my excitement this morning, I have been up since 6:30 am. Not only am I excited because it is Christmas, I am also excited that Greg and his family will be spending Christ-mas with my family and me. In fact, my boyfriend and his parents (Gia and Garth) will be here until Wednes-day morning. I am excited about this because my parents and the Gantons don't get to see each other as much as we would like to.Like I said, I am really excited about the things to come today, and over the next couple of days.-Greer

When everyone saw me at school yesterday morning, I was in my wheel-chair, and had glasses, braces, and long hair. One day later, I am wheel chair, glasses, and braces free, and have a new short, pixie styled haircut. Truth be told, I have never felt this beautiful before! I feel especially beautiful in my dark green, strapless, slinky, slit leg dress, and black, strappy, low heels. On a different note, tonight is the first time that my best friends and everyone else will be seeing me as Kenzie 2.0. I am a little nervous about what they will think.As I make my way into the doors of Hotel Icon, the place where my school's Winter Ball is being held, I take a deep breath, and try to relax. After all, a good time is waiting for me!

For those of you who don't know, Brooke Simone is the most popular teen singer out there. She also happens to be Katie's cousin.In May, Brooke had asked Katie to be a backup dancer on her tour. As luck would have it, the last concert of the tour will be held tonight right here in Denver, Colorado. Due to the fact that the tickets had sold out within five minutes of going on sale, my sisters and I had not been able to get tickets. However, that all changed yesterday afternoon.Around 3:15, Chelsea, Claire, and I had received a package. Contained inside it were birthday gifts from Katie. There had also been a gift from Brooke inside the box that was un-beknowst to Katie. Besides three tickets for tonight's show, Brooke had also given Chelsea, Claire, and me backstage passes and t-shirts. There had also been a note from Brooke. The note had explained that Katie missed my sisters and me so badly. Because of this, Brooke had secretly sent us the tickets and backstage passes so we could surprise Katie at the concert tonight! With this said, you can only imagine just how much excited that I, Cody Adams, am about seeing my amazing girlfriend.

"I think the best thing that we can do for ourselves at this point is to give it everything that we have, and try to have fun tonight." I said, applying some mascara to my lashes. Giving Everly a gentle look, I put my hand over hers and said, "I know it's hard not talking to the boys. It's hard for me, too.""I just wish we weren't in this situation." Everly sighed."Same here, girl." I replied. "Same here."As Everly and I got ready for Etterton's Christmas Ball, I replayed the argument that Everly and I had had with our boyfriends once more. At one moment, Everly, our boyfriends, and I were partaking in good conversation. The other, Everly and I were involved in a screaming match with the boys, and just like Wesley and Toby, were saying things that we didn't mean. It had ended with me slamming the door in the guys' faces. This happened on Tuesday night, and Everly and I had not spoken to the guys ever since, and vice versa. At first, Everly and I had agreed that we would not speak to the guys until they apologized. . At this point, however, Everly and I are willing to make the first move if it meant calling a truce with the guys. After all, we hate fighting with them.

Turning around to see who had called my name, I saw that it had been Kaci. My heart racing, I started sprinting towards her. Instantly, Kaci started doing the same thing. Before I knew what was happening, I was holding Kaci in my arms."I am so sorry, Kaci." I whisp-ered, holding Kaci close to me. "No, I'm sorry." Kaci replied, crying into my shoulder. "I should have never accused you of writing that note, and said the things that I did.""I shouldn't have said the things that I said, either." I said, sincerely. "Can you forgive me?"Sniffling and hugging me tighter, Kaci replied, "Only if you can forgive me and promise me some-thing.""Of course.""Promise me that you will never let me go." Kaci smiled, looking me in the eyes.""Don't worry." I smiled back, gently wiping the tears away from her eyes. "I wasn't planning on it."

"So, who is all coming tonight?" Holly asked."Tonight, it is only you, me, Heather, and Kaci." I replied. "The other girls had prior engage-ments.""That's okay." Holly replied. "At least it will give us senior girls some time together before school starts.""I completely agree." I said, sincerely.As Holly and I set up and got ready for tonight's sleepover, I thought about tonight's festivities. Not only were we going to eat pizza, bake cookies, and watch movies, we were also going to go swimming in my mansion's indoor pool. In addition to these fun activities, I had a surprise up my sleeve for Heather, Holly, and Kaci. While at dinner with my wonderful boyfriend yesterday, I had asked him if he could stop by the house and say hi to the girls. To this Olly had said that he would do anything for me, and would be happy to stop by. Smiling to myself, I thought about how Holly, Heather, and Kaci would react. After all, they were big Olly Freeman fans.

The day has come for me to shoot my video for "Let's Hear It For The Boy", and I could not be more excited. Along with my dancers and about forty other extras, my boyfriend and best friends will also be in the music video. I am truly excited that they will be sharing this experience with me!

Twelve hours until Mom's and my plane departs for Phoenix, I thought, as I laid restlessly in my bed. Ten hours until I have to say good bye to him.Laying restlessly in my bed, like I had been since 10:00, I thought about what today was going to bring. Not only would I be saying goodbye to this amazing summer trip, but I would be saying goodbye to Allie (Someone whom I consider a second mom), and her son (My wonderful and amazing boyfriend), A.J. With this said, I was definitely not looking forward to saying goodbye.Deciding not to waste another moment lying in bed, I got up and got changed into my swimsuit and go take a walk on the beach.

Standing on the beautiful, white sanded, clear blue watered beach with tall, sexy, blonde, gorgeous, Kent, and getting lost in his lips, my head swims with lust, passion, yearing and desire. Ever since Mom and I started meeting Kent and his Mom, Kara, at their nice and amazing beach house in Henley Beach, Florida for the first Tuesday-Friday of August, which started five years ago, Kent and I had always picked at one another, bickered, and annoyed the living daylights out of one another! Today while at the beach, Kent and I had gotten into a huge fight. As I was about to slap Kent in the face out of the pure rage, anger, and rage that was boiling up inside of me, he grabbed my wrist before I had the chance to slap him, and pulled me close to where our bodies were close to touching. Before I could react to the pure shock that I was feeling, he had leaned down and began to kiss me. After spending a second or two wondering what was going on, I quickly realized what the answer was, and that it was the answer that I had been hoping for. Immediate-ly, I began to kiss him back just as intensely as he was kissing me!

As I crossed the stage, shook Mrs. Krueger's hand, and received my diploma, it hit me once again that today was my best friends and I were graduating from Linson. With this said, I could not help but silently ask myself how this was possible. After all, it felt like it was just yesterday that my best friends and I were stepping through the doors of Linson for the first time. Now, we were saying goodbye. Even though I was excited about what was to come in the future, like my summer tour and college, I was a little sad about saying goodbye to my time at Linson. After all, it had been my best friends and my school home since kindergarten

Today is my first ever photo shoot with Rhett Modeling Agency. It is a modeling agency for people ages 15-65 who have or have had cancer. My boyfriend's parents own it.As Mom and I pulled into the RMA parking lot, I took a deep breath. After all my first photo shoot was waiting for me.

"Is it normal to have butterflies in your stomach the night before you are supposed to film your first tv episode live?" I asked Brady Ross. Even though I knew it was, I needed reassurance. Tomorrow morning, my best friends, Brady Ross, Garrett Hammerfield, and Shana Kalbach would be filming the first episode of "Savannah & Co." Even though I was very excited, I was also extremely nervous. This show was my first experience in the professional acting world, and I wanted to rock it."Having experienced that same thing before, I would say yes." Brady replied, thoughtfully. "I wouldn't worry about it, though. You are going to do great tomorrow.""Thanks, Brady." I smiled.

"I am SO thankful that the calculus final is finally over and done with!" Britt exclaimed, taking a bite of her sandwich. "Me too!" Marcia piped. "I seriously thought that I was going to have an anxiety attack by the end of it!""Same." Katie replied. Turning to me, she asked, "So, Kalani, how do you think that you did?""Okay, I guess." I replied. "That test was hard for me, too.""Well, the good news is that it is over, and that we only have two more finals to go until school lets out for the semester, and the Christmas Ball appro-aches!" Marcia chimed. "So, Kalani, have you thought about how you are going to react when you win Christmas Queen?"

Last night after Miles and I had gotten done with our Christ-mas Eve service, he had escorted me to our favorite sit down restaur-ant. As I had soon learned, he had rented the place out for the two of us. About fifteen minutes into the dinner, I found out why he did. After we had ordered our food and drinks, Miles had gotten down on one knee, and had pro-posed to me! Of course, I had said yes! After all, I could not imagine spend-ing the rest of my life with him! Later on, Miles had told me that both sets of parents had instantly gotten on board (Miles had asked Dad in advance for his permiss-ion to marry me)! Due to the fact that both sets of parents are good friends with one another, this makes the proposal even more special! The only ones who do not know are my twin sister, and our best friends, Kate and Tess. In fact, they don't even know that Miles and I are on my private jet heading to Salt Lake City to spend a few hours with them! Truth be told, this Christ-mas is the most eventful and best one that I could ever ask for!

Dear Journal, ever since we were kinder-garteners, my best friends and I have called Gallagher Academy, a K12 school for students with learning disabilities, our school home. Due to the fact that my best friends and I were the only ones who made up our grade, we were, are, and always be a tight knit family. To be clear, we were that way way before starting at Gallagher Academy. In fact, we have been that way all of our lives! Moving on, at 11:30 AM, we will be graduating and saying goodbye to our school home. This makes me a little sad and emotional. Don't get me wrong, I am truly excited about graduating! It is just a little bit bittersweet, that's all. Moving on, there is another reason that graduating high school is bittersweet. Graduating today means that I move from my Orlando home in two days to L.A. to live with my favorite aunt, and start filming my new t.v. show that I am the main star of. Even though I am excited about my new adventure, I am sad about having to leave my family and best friends behind. With this said, I have a lot of mixed emotions about today!-Grey

Getting ready for my concert in my home-town that starts in one hour, I have mixed feelings. While I am excited about reuniting with my parents, I am not so sure about how I feel about seeing my best friend/ secret love interest, Ian. Before I left for tour in June he said some nasty things to me, which caused me to not talk to him all summer. Maybe it is because of what was said, or the fact that I never really acknowl-edged my feelings, but what happen-ed still hurts.Before I know what is happen-ing, there is a knock on my dressing room door. Opening it, I gasp, Standing in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers in his hand is Ian!

"I can't stop admiring it, it is so gorge-ous!" I ex-claimed, giving my wonder-ful, amazing, and down to earth co-star, and as of last night, fiancée, Benji Dornan, a kiss on the cheek. "You propo-sing was the best and most special Christ-mas gift that I could ever ask for! If you don't mind me asking, who all knew about the proposal before it happen-ed?""You're aunt, my parents, and your pa-rents." Benji smiled, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "A couple of months ago, I had flown down to Houston for your parents permiss-ion to propose to you. Thank-fully, they had said yes.""You flew down to Houston just to ask them for their per-miss-ion?" I asked, my heart growing even more fond of my wonder-ful, genuine, and loving fiancée. "Baby, that is, with 100% sincer-ity, one of the classiest things that you have ever done, and you have always been classy!' Last night, Benji, my wonder-ful and amazing co-star and boy-friend of three and a half years, had popped the question at dinner last night. Instant-ly, I had said yes!Coming back to today, Benji and I are on his private jet to Houston to spend Christ-mas with my parents and my twin sister, Heidi( Who has no idea that Benji and I are coming down for Christ-mas, as well as for her annual Christ-mas party tonight). With all of the wonder-ful thing that happen-ed last night, as well as the things that are going to happen tonight, I more than a little confi-dent that this Christ-mas is going to be the best one ever!

Dear Journal, After a month and a half of traveling Europe and modeling in different shows, I am finally on my way back home to Orlando, Florida. Even though touring Europe was amazing, I missed my Mom, best friend, and boyfriend greatly.I am truly excited about seeing them in thirty minutes or so.-Bella

Graduation. The time to say goodbye to our child, adolescent, and teenage school home has arrived. Even though I am thoroughly and excited about graduating, and moving on to a big and bright future, I am also a little sad.
