They say that I just want to hide who I am.

They can't see past that mask that I wear, that plastered smile.

"Don't hide," they say. "Come out and enjoy yourself. You're not good at hiding."

But I am. I feel like a captured spy, and you're asking me all these questions. You sit back with this satisfied smile after I blurt out something very random, innocent.

I'm a very god liar, actually.

Why do I want to go to Aunt Eva's?

It's because I spent a few weeks there, a long time ago. In her little cottage in the olympic rain forest of Washington State. Her moss-covered, cozy little place, with almond cookies and an enormous underground library. With the paper, and the markers, where I could draw whatever I wished. I remember how I beaded a little frog and put it on a necklace.

That was nothing compared to the outside. It was pure magic.

The light filtered green and revealed the beads of dew on the moss-covered rocks. There was always a steady rain, and the smell was like nothing I could ever smell back home. The trees were some high, some low, and their leaves made a roof over my head that steadily dripped. And the mist, the mist covered everything and made it beautiful. There was a tiny cave, and that was where I slept most of the time. The rest of the time I slept on the highest tree branch I dared put my weight on, or in the library. She gave me a tiny music player with earbuds, and I put on every song that I loved. It was heaven to me. Everything was peaceful, everything had the sweet smell of the rain and the moss and the fog. Nobody asked me any questions, nobody forced me to be social. I didn't have to keep a smile on my face, although it was there most of the time naturally. I cried all of one day, and Aunt Eva didn't ask any questions. She just quietly cooked me blueberry pancakes. She was so peculiar, the little old lady in the moss-covered house... She was tall, but slender, and was absolutely beautiful, with long, silver hair in a bun and sweet crinkles near her grey eyes. Everybody, including my parents, think that there's something wrong with her mind. Everybody she loved died, so she moved to a cottage in the depressing forest to mourn in peace. But she doesn't mourn... she had this silent happiness about her, this peace, and I don't think anything could upset it.

I want to go where I'm safe.

When I saw her at the spelling bee last year, she ate six pieces of the super fattening pizza they had set out for us, along with the chocolate thingies... my mom was staring at her like >8^I because we're health nuts... <_< My mom told me that she had was really egotistical and had her "butt in the air" as she said because all her life she's been praised for her intellect while her physical health goes to hell. -__________- I'm just scared I'm going to get there and she's going to be rubbing her fame in my face and tease me.
She was in the newspaper yesterday, mind you. <_____<
(*end of ramble*)
Anyways, I read about an IB grade eleven teacher who, in has class, had everyone know everyone else's phone number and email, and I've also read that it's almost impossible to get through IB completely on your own, so maybe next year, you can drop me an email if you want. :) countblecksuperfan.cassie@gmail.com

Most the times he's pretty fun, then we'll stop texting for a week or so then out of the blue at 11 or 12 at night he'll text me really mushy stuff, how he wants to marry me one day, or he loves me or one direction song lyrics. I'm getting kinda freaked out, I want to tell him to lay off without seeming uninterested! I'm actually kinda worried.. HELP!!!! UG!! I don't know what to do!!

I'm leaving to camp on Sunday with my best friend. At camp we get to do go-karts, which is great. It's girls vs. boys, and there are two people in each car, which switch after the first three laps. My best friend is really great, and expects me to go with her. But there are two problems. First, she weighs a lot more than me and I know that if we go too fast we will tip. And I like to go as fast as possible, wheras she's more sensible regarding speed. I'd love to go with the girl I went with last year, Abbie, but I don't want to offend my friend. It would be nice if my sister could go with her, but I don't know how to introduce the idea without really offending her. Ideas?

I just love camp-sleepovers. It's one, the others are watching TV, and I'm on Kidpub. Thank god that this club has wi-fi.
VAMPIRE MONEY FTW!

My sister: We're not that weird-

Me: Yup. Welcome to our house.
