Dear Diary...

Closing her diary, Cameron sighed. Glancing at her clock by her bed she groaned. "Midnight already? Jeez, where does the day go?" She asked herself as she slipped from her computer desk to place her Diary back on her bookshelf. Sitting back down at her desk, she turned her computer off and pulled out her History book. She still hadn’t studied yet, proving to her mom that she really was a procrastinator like she said.

Two-thirty came and Cameron was sure she had studied enough of World War II history to make her head explode. So closing her book, she stuffed it back into her backpack and changed into her pajamas. Sliding into bed, she set her alarm for 5:30 and shut her bedside light off before snuggling into the covers. Sleep came as quick as lightning and Cameron was out.

The buzzing of her alarm clock woke Cameron up from her blissful dream, slamming down on the SNOOZE button she groaned. Today was going to be a bitch, working only on three hours of sleep. Fun. She thought, swinging her legs out to the side of her bed and standing. Her mind replayed the dream she had just woken up from. "Wish I got his name." She mumbled, shuffling to the bathroom. "He was pretty hot."

Grabbing two towels from the closet, Cameron placed them on the toilet before climbing into the hot shower. Twenty minutes later, she climbed out, somewhat wide awake and cold. Wrapping one towel around herself and the other around her hair, she headed back to her room. Quickly throwing on some clean jeans and a t-shirt along with her shoes, she grabbed her iPod, cellphone and her school bag. Heading down the stairs, Cameron could hear her mother up and shuffling around the kitchen.

"Morning." She grunted, tossing her bag on to the counter before grabbing a bowl from the cabinet above her head.

"Morning sweety." Her mother stated, reading over the paper and taking a sip of her coffee as she leaned against the counter.

"God mom. How can you be so awake in the morning?" Cameron asked, pulling out the box of Fruit Loops from the food pantry. No matter how childish the cereal seemed, it was Cameron’s favorite.

"Coffee is the key." She responded, placing her cup down to flip the page.

"Maybe I should try it out sometime." Cameron said, before pouring milk onto her cereal and taking a bite out of it. She had ten minutes to finish eating and then she had to head for school or she would be late. Abruptly she downed her food, placing the empty bowl in the sink and grabbing her bag. "Bye mom." She said, kissing the older women on the cheek before heading out the door.

"Are you picking up Megan too!" Her mom called after her.

"Yeah!" Cameron called back, throwing her bag in the backseat of her civic Honda and then climbing into the driver’s seat. Buckling up, Cameron pulled out of her driveway and headed to Megan’s house.

Fifteen minutes later, Cameron was pulling into the parking lot of the school, her brown eyes scanning for a parking lot.

"There!" Megan stated, pointing to an empty spot between a Honda escort and a Jeep wrangler.

Squeezing into the spot, Cameron and Megan hurriedly got out, grabbing their stuff and ran to the school but not before Cameron had locked her doors, setting the automatic alarm on. They weren’t late but only had a minute or two before the homeroom bell rang and they were. "See you first period." Cameron stated to Megan as they went there separate ways.

Cameron made it to her homeroom just as the bell rang. Sighing in relief she slide into her seat and waited for the dreaded announcements to come on.
