-Rainy Day- By Jessica Shing

Everyone was talking and laughing with others
Except Sara who was sitting at the corner
No one noticed her
No one talked to her

Where is she from?
She is from a wonderful life with a wonderful boyfriend
No one knows, her dream guy has a girlfriend behind her
Now all she can do is to sit by the window

It was raining outside
No one concerts how she felt
No one knows that
There was a tear hidden in her heart

"I can��t believe he was actually lied to me"
"What can��t life be simple?"
She kept asking herself in her mind and starts to cry
But she still couldn't find the answer at the end.

The world seemed to desert her.
Thousands of sharp arrows went through her heart.
She brought her broken heart out of the restaurant,
And that was the only thing she could do.

A joyful party certainly attracts teenagers to join in. Last night, December 24, a fight started in the party in a house of Bay Beach around nine o��clock at night. This event began by a seventeen-year-old Joshua Nelson suddenly punched on another teenage whose the same ages as he, Tim Kaplan.
�� I don��t know what was going on,�� said Raleigh Stockton, Nelson��s girlfriend. ��He just grabbed Connelly and left.�� No only Stockton, no one in the party actually know why did Nelson did something aberration against his normal personality.
��I don��t know anything,�� Maggie, Connelly��s friend responded ��I don��t want to say anything at all, period.�� But Kaplan himself and Maggie seem to know something about it. ��Anyway, it��s not his fault�� answered Kaplan.
Police arrived about twenty minutes after the fight. Nelson had already leave. Everything was cool off fast and everybody looks fine.
Kaplan didn��t ask for anything from Nelson��s family. And Nelson didn��t get into any trouble when he made himself back home at mid-night.

Never had a Dream Come True - S Club 7

Everybody��s got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There��s no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
All this I know but still I can��t find ways to let you go
Somewhere in my memory I've lost all sense of time
and tomorrow can never be cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
There��s no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
all this I know but still I can��t find ways to let you go
You��ll always be the dream that fills my head
You��ll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There��s no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can��t say goodbye
I never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You��ll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You��re the one I think about each day
and I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

I'm Gonna Be Alright -- Jennifer Lopez

It's funny cause for a while
I walked around with a smile but
Deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right
Don't you know it's not for you
I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away
Because I love you I just tried to stay

I used to say I couldn't do it, but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes, I can feel it
And I know inside I'm gonna be alright

Friends of mine say to me
They say you got control over me
You're not alone, I played a part
I saw the way you were from the start
Could I expect so much from you
You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do
Now I realize I can't change you

Said I wouldn't walk away
Somedays I want to stay
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay
Never thought it would be true
Me living without you
But now it's time for me to make a move

Dear Diary,
It��s been a week after the camp; I miss Josh so much. There, I got that very important statement out of the way. I don��t know exactly what I want to say. I can��t wait to get Josh��s first letter. I am so anxious to communicate with him that I decided just to ahead and writing him letters whenever I feel like it. Then I can put them all together and mail them to him at the same time as soon as I get his address.
This summer was amazing. I met Josh in the camp was the most meaningful in this vacation. But I feel the state of Maine isn��t the same without he in it, right? Okay, I��m getting ultra sappy, so I��m going to end this.

Hi Diary,

I want to share you my official Oprah-Style gratitude journal now. I��m going to take Oprah Winfrey��s advice and start my own journal. The idea is that if I write down five things every day that I am grateful for, life will start to look different. I will focus on the good things rather than the bad. Usually I focus on the good side anyway. But I have to admit that being in a new town is a little more lonely and scary than I expected.
1. I am grateful that my father and I are going to spend more time together.
2. I am grateful for the awesome weather in Florida.
3. I am grateful that my car didn��t break down on the way to Florida.
4. I am grateful that Tim Kaplan seems willing to show me around and hang out with me. Even if he is slightly annoying.
5.I am grateful that Josh and I are now in the same state, even if I don��t know exactly where he is just yet.

To Diary,
Last night I dreamed that I was swimming in the ocean, except that the water was warm -- almost like a bath. I was wearing a wet suit, and my body was weighted down with scuba-diving equipment. The only problem was that I couldn��t actually scuba dive because I didn��t know how. Meanwhile Tim was somewhere deep below the surface of the water, having the time of his life as he studied various fish and plant life. As I was treading water, waiting for Tim, I saw Josh surf by on a surfboard that was so small; it looked more like a ski than an actual board. He called out to me, but I couldn��t hear what he was saying because the waves were crashing so loudly. Once he was gone, the image of a shark was appearing in front of me. I screamed and forgot that I was supposed to be moving my legs in the murky water. I started to sink. The shark came closer and closer. I was sure I was going to drown. Then I woke up.
I have an irrational fear of sharks. Let��s just say I never should have rented Jaws with Maggie in seventh grade and let it go at that. Okay?

Hey Diary,
I have a calculus quiz tomorrow. Remember the dream that I told you about the shark last night? Various shrinks and gurus say that all dreams are meaningful. One woman told me that if you put yourself in the place of every object in your dream and view the dream from that object��s point of view, you could interpret whatever it is your subconscious is trying to tell you. I tried to do that with this nightmare but I just came up with a jumbled mass of confusion. I think I should go to ask a future-teller or someone, don��t you think?

Hello Diary,
You know what? I received Maggie��s letter today. She said that she would be in Florida exactly two months from today. Can you believe it? Anyway, my dad is planning to have a dancing party in the day that Maggie comes in Tim��s house. Not only my dad��s busy, I am planning myself that what should I prepare for Maggie when she comes. We talked on the phone just now, and we decided that she will share my bedroom with her and her parents will use the guestroom. I think we probably will spend the whole night chatting. I got lots of things to tell her. Maybe we also will spend time in the beach. No, winter��s cold, no one wants to be sick in the vacation. Just keep in mind, I can��t wait till that day she comes!

Sara
