Dear Diary,
The world was a little bit colder now, the warm personality of my best friend Alexandria Riordana had been snatched away and she was sent to a premature end.
The whole Kingdom of Razenvald was in mourning, their beloved princess and future queen was dead.
The events of earlier that day still hadn’t sunk in; I laid in the meadow where Aislinn, Alexandria and I used to play as kids and watched the world drift by. The sky was a clear unblemished blue and a summer breeze blew through the flowers which had bloomed in the meadow. I hated the fact that the weather was so perfect when someone so amazing had left this world forever.
I let tears glide slowly down my cheeks blurring my vision of the world; my heart yearned to hear the voice of my best friend just one more time. I closed my eyes and thought back, back to all the days I had spent with my two best friends and smiled.
Wherever Alexandria was I could be certain that she was happy, and I had a feeling, deep within me that this wouldn’t be the last time I saw her or even the last time I would hear her voice. I just knew.

Dear Diary,
Mother and Father are still insisting that I stay in bed despite the fact I am off the crutches. Yeah, I admit that my ribs still ache a tad but that’s all, I am able to walk now and I have already missed like a week of school.

Dear Diary,
My parents allowed me to go back to school tomorrow at long last; I have been cooped up in this house for far too long it will be good to have a change of scenery.
They only agreed to it because of Nessie dropping off the dreaded exam timetable for the upcoming exams and of course that was it. As soon as my parents clapped eyes on the exam timetable they couldn’t wait to get be back to school.

Dear Diary,
School felt very different, there was a completely different vibe about it; part of the reason may have been because Ellie had left us forever and break and lunchtimes were a hell of a lot quieter without her.
Nessie and Luke, Alex and Logan, Eric and me all hung around with each other nowadays; which is a huge difference from how things used to be.
Before I would never have dreamed that I would ever merge in with the popular crowd and neither did Luke or Eric. Now however, we are all great friends and do everything together, I couldn’t imagine myself without them now, couldn’t imagine going back to being the ‘swat in the corner with her head in a book’ as I was once nicknamed.
The only downside to this perfect picture is the fact that sometimes both Eric and I feel slightly out of place, especially since Nessie and Luke are officially an item – it only took them how many years?- and also Alex has also given Logan a second chance [well that caused loads of gossip.] Eric and I are not together, no matter how many times I have wished we were, it had never happened :( I love him, I actually really do but I don’t know the right words to tell him.
What if he doesn’t feel the same way?
