Okay so I've been dealing with this boy, Brandon, and he can not get a clue! Am I too nice? Are my easy letdowns far too subtle? Maybe I should just tell him no, I don't want to go out with you. It's not like he's a bad person. I just have a different taste when it comes to boyfriend material. This will be the last time he'll ask me. I don't care anymore if he'll call me a bitch because I've rejected him. I can't deal with him bugging me. With those feeling out of the way, I'm going to hang out with Becky at the mall. It's going to be a pain getting there since it's still raining outside.

Later Diary,
Cassie

So I've been thinking about this boy. I don't know him that well but because we know the same people it won't take long to get closer to him. I do know that he's not dating anyone right now. This is my chance before another girl catches his attention. Even if we do nothing more than a single date I still want to get to know him better. Hopefully, I'll get a chance with him soon. However, going on a date with this weather is not that romantic. Although I guess it would be nice to snuggle close to him.

With a blushing face,
Jade

So I had my date with Chad yesterday. It was okay, the fact that it's been raining doesn't improve the experience. He at least managed to be charming like he was when we first started dating. Those rumors have finally died down and thirsty girls aren't trying to paw at someone who isn't theirs. Even if our relationship did end I wouldn't give them the chance to date him anyway.

Love,
Alex

I love the color ocean blue. It reminds me of the family picnics that I experienced at the pier. The last one was before Betty died. It'll be strange walking on the sand with only Lil' Peggy with me. Hopefully, the color of the ocean will keep me from being too upset. The color right now is the closest thing I have to the ocean since the rain hasn't stopped at all. I should get some sleep.

A somber and tired girl,

Why did I take three honor classes again? Right, I did it because it will look good when I search for colleges. I don't even know what I'm going to major in! I know that I don't need to know right now, but it can't be helped when teachers keep pushing for us to already know what it is we want to do. I still have two more years to go. But those two years won't be that long and I'm off to college! I just made myself feel terrible.

A sick feeling,
Jade

So a boy, whose attention I do want, was assigned with me to do an in-class assignment. We hit it off easily. Now all I have to do is keep his attention on me and find out if he's dating someone. If he's not full-on flirting is going to happen. If he is that sucks but I guess I'll just get over him. Other cute guys in the school will fall for me.

Later Diary!

Dear Jade,
So I wanted to write this letter to you because it's been a while since we've last talked. I've been hoping that we could spend some time together. I know that you're not fond of my habit of being a gossip. However, I just want to hang out; no rumors or anything of the like. It's just that you're really easy to talk to and I need that right now. So when you get a chance, write me back okay?
From,
Cassie

Lil' Peggy is such a silly little dog. She tilts her head to the side and makes the cutest sneeze noise. I'm glad that I have her like a dog. She curls up in my lap to take her nap and wags her tail when her name is called. She simply wants to be friends with everyone; even cats! How can anyone not love Lil' Peggy? She steals the hearts of everyone that I'm scared that someone might take her from home. Good thing the rain is keeping anyone from stealing her!

Lil' Peggy fan,
Jade

I feel like someone was missing from my class today? Maybe a certain someone whose girlfriend I'm related to. That's right Chad wasn't in class today! I wonder where he's been. Did a siren seduce him into the ocean or something? Can he even hear her with the downpour going on? But one thing I do know that's going to happen is Alex throwing a fit at him. That should be fun to hear about.

Later Diary!

So, Chad and I are going to go on another date. (At least it's not raining as hard as it was yesterday.) I swear this will be his last chance. He better be on his best behavior since some bitch though it's okay to leave hickeys on someone else's boyfriend. Honestly, did I pick out the worse boyfriend or what! This next date may be the last time Chad sees me if he doesn't make this date perfect. Maybe it won't be that bad. I'm sure I can fix this relation, one way or another.

Love,
Alex

I feel like I'm worrying too much. Maybe it's the weather? Is it weird that I feel something is off with Alex?  I know that Chad has done something that pissed her off but she hasn't said anything to me. I feel like this year has put her on edge. Cassie seems to be having fun, unlike Alex, when it comes to the love department. It just seems that Alex has been pushed too far but refuses to let anyone talk to her about it.

An uneasy,
Jade

Hey Cassie, do you also feel like Alex's been holding something in recently? 'Cause I do. I wanted to know your thoughts about this as soon as possible so make sure to answer back okay?

Hi Jade, I agree with you on Alex holding something in lately. These feelings seem like they're related to her boyfriend. Side note I'm not just saying that since I'm a gossip but because of Alex's attitude change this year.

Well, Chad messed up his last chance and won't be seeing me anymore. I'm saddened by this and relieved because it finally happened and I doubt any other girl is going to go out with him now. I'll have to wait a bit to start dating again which is fine since I need some self-love anyway. Once the mourning period is over I'll be back on the market for a better boyfriend.

Love,
Alex

I don't know what's up with Alex. Not that long ago she was on edge but now she's fine? I can't help but feel she's done something that isn't healthy. The only way to find out is by asking her, but I don't think she'll tell me. I could just be overthinking this? I have to be overthinking. There is no way she had such a mood switch without me knowing is there? I don't keep tabs on her but I should have an idea of what weight has been lifted from her shoulders.

An overthinking,
Jade

OH MY GOD, PLOT TWIST! Chad has either been drinking underage or a mermaid just drowned him! His body was found this morning by the pier! The news said that the weather damaged his features pretty bad but he was still recognizable. I can't believe someone I know is dead. How is Alex going to take this! I just don't know what to say. A classmate of mine is dead.

A Goal I Should Probably Reach

I have a New Goal on my Patreon. Once I reach $100 per month, I'll get a Twitter account. I'll use the Twitter account to promote my blog and thoughts related to my goal of becoming an author. To help me reach that goal, all you have to do is become a patron. Even giving the minimum amount of $1 is enough to move me closer to this goal. Rather you become a patron or not, please share this blog with friends and continue to support my blog.

*Side note* If you find any mistakes I've made on a post, just leave a comment and tell me where it is. These posts are easy to fix since this is all digital.

*Side note* If you want to view miniseries and writing prompts early, become a patron.

Patreon and why it matters to you and me.

If you've been around the internet sometime this past year you might have heard of the word Patreon. This is a new way to support artists and their work. The best part about it is that you can help them with nearly any amount of money you can offer. I say nearly because you do need to at least pay a dollar to the content creator you wish to support. Supporting a creator on Patreon allows them to deliver the things you like about their work in a timely fashion. After all, the people you support have bills, school, work, etc. that they need to do themselves.  I know it's weird to do this but the digital age has opened up many options for creators and Patreon is one of them.

So, what's in it for you to support my Patreon? You get to be involved with my blog in many different ways. If you pay less than five dollars you get to view patron only posts and see the monthly post in different stages of completion and before it is posted on my blog. Five dollar patrons get to have their name or, a name they like, show up in a short story. Those who are the twenty-five dollar patrons get to pick out one of three writing prompt options; which will be posted first on Patreon and then on the blog. Also, only other twenty-five dollar patrons get to see the prompt chosen. The number of people who get this reward is limited. Those who pay the thirty dollar reward gets to be a part of my first editing and publishing adventure. The book is called Me and the Grandfather Clock and the number of people who can be involved in this process is also limited.

There are also goals which I wish to reach. The first is the hundred dollars goal which promises that I'll get a Twitter account. Next at hundred and fifty dollars is posting on my blog twice a month. Lastly, for now at least, is the three hundred dollars goal which will kick start the process of editing and publishing the Me and the Grandfather Clock book. Naturally once that goal is reached other goals and rewards will be added to my Patreon. Such as, when the hundred dollars goal is reached a new award will be added. Another reward I want to add is a beta reader. This will be for those what to be a part of bigger projects and wish to make it as perfect as possible.

Naturally, when you become a part of my Patreon you can be a part of the community and share thoughts of what you want to see in on my blog. Also if you can't give a dollar to my Patreon, a thing that you can do easily is leave a comment on my posts and share my blog with your friends and family. It will amazing to hear from all of you and it is necessary for me to know so that I keep putting out the things you wish to read. My blog is a showcase for my writing and it is a consumer product, and I need the consumer to be involved with it. I hope I didn't scare you away with this post but it needs to be said in order for me to continue on with this blog.
