Dear Diary,
I found today that Micheal fancys me. Something that I could've enjoyed if only Amelia hadn't bothered with me. She said that if I ever laid eyes on Michael then my mother would loose her job AND I would loose our house on the edge of town. I would loose everything. Yet it won't stop me from liking him. Yes I said fancy him diary, it's not my fault. Nothing is my fault, yet just the same Amelia blames me, for everthing. On a lighter note, Diary, Samantha says that she will be moving. Closer to town perhaps and even closer to me. I hope that the Sampsons will buy the house on the corner. Then we will not live far.
Sincerely,
Emily Malia Bishop
Dear Diary,
Tears flood my eyes this day. Though tears don't flood often, almost never, I cry just the same. Samantha is moving alright. But not closer to town, or closer to me, or to the house at the corner. She's moving out of the territory. To a place called California. Not even in the United States of America.This diary entry will not be long, Diary, I need some time alone.
Sincerely,
Emily Malia Bishop
