Dear Diary

Chapter Two

Dear Diary,

Today couldn't be any worse then it was horrible. My alarm clock never went off so I was a hour late for class, my coffee spilled all over my brand new outfit, and what really made this day even worse is that we had to read our papers in class which embarrassing because mine was about Ethan.?

Everyone stopped what they were doing just to hear what I wrote since they knowing that I am not the dating type. But that's not true I just haven't found him yet or have I?

I guess I will let you go I have tutor a classmate.

A.M.

I hurried over to the library pulled out everything that is need during my tutoring section. As I set there waiting for them to show I found myself getting bored so I pulled out my Diary.

Dear Diary,

I am suppose to be tutoring right now so it seems I was stood up again. Why ask for help when you are not even going to show up? I will wait a few more minutes before I packed up head home. I have a lot of things to do.

Until then bye for now my faithful friend.

A.M.

I sit there for minute tapping my pencil on the table. I move stuff around trying to make it easier for them to see what I am doing. Another minute went by and they still haven't shown up I am about to say screw it they are not going to show up.

As I gather my stuff I heard "I am so sorry practice just got over." I stop what I was doing and lift my head to see who was talking to me "ETHAN!" I lower my head trying not to make eye contact.

Arianna: I am sorry what did you say?

Ethan: I am so sorry for being late coach loves to keep us over until he is satisfied. I tried leaving early but he was like a radar.

Arianna: Fine just this once I will let it go because I need extra credit. So what do you need help with?

He pulled out all his books and line them up in order. I watched while gets ready with first book. Good thing I already know what assignment was and had it done. I looked at him and back at his books I am wondering why hasn't he started anything? The poem he wrote was beautiful and I am wondering who was the lucky girl in the poem?

I grab my English book and sit down next him. Went over the assignment to where he understood everything. Once he got the hang of it he was done in a second. He hands me his paper to double check him on everything and seems to me that he understand my way of getting things done and please the professor as well.

Arianna: I know writing papers can be tough when it comes to wording things out I have found myself struggling on a few papers. Matter of fact the last paper had me stump to the point I actually watch some really good chick flicks to help me.

As I was giving him a pep talk I noticed that he wasn't actually paying attention to me which was kind of annoying because I'm trying to give him a good example of how I do my papers when I struggle he should be taking notes instead of staring off into space.

Arianna: Ummm... Ethan are you with me? Look if I am boring you I can ask the tutoring office for a new person if you would like that?

Ethan comes back and heard the last few parts of what I was saying. He looked confused didn't know what to say at this point.

Arianna: Look! I take this tutoring very serious and helps me extra credit just in case I have a bad grade on a paper. Plus why should you care your parents pays for your schooling.

Ethan: Matter fact that's not true. I lost my parents when I was younger, so I was place in froster care all my life. I was lucky I got a football scholarship because this college is out of my budget. Like you I don't have rich parent's to help me.

I sat there listen to his story and learn something new about him. I want to drop what I was doing to give him a hug, but knew that would be awkward. By the time he got done we were finished with all his homework and I had enough time to get to the diner for some yummy food. As I packed up my things we both part ways.

Dear Diary,

Remember my last post how the person I tutor was late. It was actually Ethan Conway. He looked amazing even though he was late. I kinda told him off during the tutoring section. Turn's out he was also on scholarship and need help keeping his grades up.

Best thing about being Ethan tutor I can get the know the real Ethan, and also been hearing more about that Tiffany who suppose to be jealous because I am spending time with Ethan then she is.

Well it's time for me to get ready for my English class.

A.M.

I take a deep breath before walking into class. I always show up late because I am usually forget something and have to turn back to grab it. I sit down next Brandon who I made friends with at the beginning of the class. If I was sick he would take double notes and I would do the same for him. I pulled out my diary and started writing my morning page.

Dear Diary,

Today is going great we have to pick partners for this assignment. For this assignment we have to spend one week with them at their place and one week with them at my place. Then our last week we can either go back to campus or stay in our picking.

It's time for the picking and the best part Mr. Anderson is picking names.

I will tell you more later who I have.

A.M.

Mr. Anderson has always been one of my favorites. He always does things his way without any changes.

Mr. Anderson: Here's your partners!

1. Amanda S and Megan A

2. Andrew H and Heather F

3. Arianna M and Ethan C.

4. Brandon G and Jessica W

5. Bradley G and Joshua H

6. Tiffany W and Jackson N

Tiffany glared at me, her cheeks flushing. I was waiting for it, but instead she threw a temper tantrum because she didn't get her way and stormed out the class.

Ethan walks up to meet and swaps phones for a second. He put his number into my phone

Ethan Conway?

232-555-9890

Arianna Moody?

989-555-2361

I always give my friends a heart after their name. I found it cute. We hand each other our phone's back.

Ethan: I will see you later..

Arianna: Actually all I have to do is check in and drop off my work what about you?

Ethan: I am free any time. I have everything I needed and I can work on it when stop or on the way if you don't mind driving.

I stood next to my car waiting for Ethan I think he packing his whole room because he is taking forever. I grab the picnic basket and cooler full of drinks placed them in back seat I looked back at his dorm finally he comes walking out with Tiffany nagging behind him.

Ethan: Look enough already. What do you have against her? Is it because she pretty? Is it because I been spend some time with her?

Tiffany stands with her phone to her face. She didn't care what he was saying. After revealing what Ethan Conway really like as a person.

Ethan: I feel we need this time away to see how we feel about each other.

Tiffany: What does that mean?

Ethan: A break.

He put his bag's in the trunk with mine. He walks up to me.

Ethan: Okay you ready?

Arianna: Just one second which drink do you perfer. What about this let me guess and see if I got it right.

Ethan: Okay (as he got into the car).

I put two vanilla cherry Coca-Cola in the cup holders. He didn't noticed just looked out the window. I looked over to him and sigh.

Arianna: So where should we start?

Ethan turns to me with a blink look on his face.. Comes back to reality and noticed that I just asked him a question.

Ethan: What was that?

Arianna: So where should we start?

Ethan: My place let's get that done and over with.

He reached over turn on GPS and put his address in. We sit in silence for part of the trip. I couldn't do it anymore so I turned on my play list Ava Max starts to play of course one of my favorite "So am I" by her started playing. I started singing like used do on road trips

Arianna:

Do you ever feel like a misfit?

Everything inside you is dark and twisted

Oh, but it's okay to be different

'Cause baby, so am I (so am I, so am I, so am I-I-I-I)

Can you hear the whispers all across the room?

You feel her eyes all over you like cheap perfume

You're beautiful, but misunderstood

So why you tryna be just like the neighborhood?

I can see ya, I know what you're feelin'

So let me tell you 'bout my little secret

I'm a little crazy underneath this

Underneath this

As I was tapping my fingers on my stirring wheel. I gotta keep myself go or we're gonna have boring road trip. I looked over at him and the looked on his face was hilarious.

Ethan: You didn't tell me you can sing? Is there anything else I should know before we continue this road trip?

Arianna: You just have to find out as we go.

I turned my attention to road and GPS. Then next song that was playing is Monster by Shinedown comes blaring on the road. He looks at me once again and I started laughing.

Arianna: Are you getting hungry?

Ethan: Yeah!

Arianna: Because I was looking at road signs and there is scenic spot coming up. I really want to see it.

He just shrugged his shoulders like he didn't care. I have a feeling he might be still upset from the fight he had earlier today with Tiffany. I let it slide this time.

I pulled into the parking lot and turn off the car. I get out of the car and started stretching then went the backseat of my car and pulled out a blanket and picnic basket. I slowly walked up to the front and grab our drinks. Ethan walked over and grab the basket out of my hands.

Ethan: Let me get that you shouldnt be caring everything.

I unfolded the blankets nice and neatly me put it on the ground. Ethan put the picnic basket onto the blanket and sits down. I sit down next to him and started pulling out everything that I made for us. His eyes opened up again.

Ethan: You made all my favorite foods and never even told me? Okay who told you what I liked?

Arianna: I worked in the office and ran across your file one day and I saw you liked this type of food so I made it for you. I actually tried them to see what they taste like and not bad.

Ethan: Have you been stalking me?

Change the subject... Change the subject...

Arianna: I like your secret admirer poem. I bet Tiffany was excited that you wrote about her.

Ethan scratched his head and nervous at the same time. I noticed something different about him when I mention the secret admirer.

Ethan: When I worte my poem on secret admirer it wasn't about Tiffany she drives me nuts. There's this other girl that caught my attention, but she doesn't even know I exsit. When I look at her beautiful blue eyes she melts my heart.

Arianna: So your telling me that there is someone else your into?

Ethan: Yeah, just never had the guts to her so just stayed with her. I figured that if I decided to ignore everything she does that annoyed me then we would be okay.

I just sit there getting everything put away listening to him talk about what's wrong. Mostly about Tiffany and her annoying ways. How he meet a new girl and madly into her. The funny things is there are thousands of girls with blue eyes on campus. He didn't go full detail on her, but this time he kept that part to himself for some reason.

Arianna: I really want to get some pictures of scenic spot before we leave. I wat to capture all the beauty out here.

I pulled out my digital camera I zoom in a few spots boom I was done. This is gonna be amazing once I paint it then it will look. I walked back to the car and put the camera away.

Arianna: Bathroom break before heading out.

We split for a second and showed up at front entrance head back to the car.

Arianna: The way thing's are going we will be there around 11.

Ethan: I know we have to stay there for a week, but can we stay in a hotel instead? I feel you would like it better.

Arianna: Why don't we stay one night and if anything happens we can go to a hotel deal?

Ethan: Deal! But bring only what you want to wear and leave the rest of it locked up in the car you will thank me in a long run.

We finally made to his house and it wasn't that bad like he said it was. Until we walked in and now I see why I must of got lucky because these kids are nothing like him. I want to write into my diary but something told me not to bring it in. Maybe we should stay at the hotel for the rest of the week. I looked over at Ethan and grabbed his hand as we looked around. Lucky I am always prepared with locks all over my bags amd I put the key around my neck.

Ethan and I shared the pull out couch which is awkward, because I never been with a boy I am "VIRGIN!" there I said it. I woke up with all the kids looking down on us.

Little Girl: Ooooh! Ethan has a girlfriend and she really pretty.

Mrs. Conway: Abby! get over here and leave them alone they came in late last night.

I started smiling as they were talking. I never had a sibling it always been three of us, so this is gonna be interesting for sure. I smell eggs, bacon, and coffee all suddenly my stomach growled I couldn't help it. Get out of bed and made up my side and walked into the bathroom since there is nobody in there yet. I looked at my hair and fixed it I stumbled into the kitchen where few of the family members are at the tables everyone is staring at me as I stood in the door way.

Mrs. Conway: Good Morning! Are you hungry?

Arianna: Yes ma'am!

Mrs. Conway: You can call me Joanne. No need for ma'am

I nodded my head and sit down next two beautiful young girl's. All they did was stare at me. I just sat there drinking my cup of coffee enjoying breakfast when I over heard one of the girl's.

Little Girl: Ethan was right she is very pretty and she smells really good also.

So I am the girl from his poem and I didn't even know. God I feel dumb. As I was sitting there enjoying the morning Sleepy head decided to grace us...

Joanne: Good morning Ethan did you sleep well?

Ethan walks over and grabs a cup of coffee and sit right next to me.. Ethan finally answer her with a pleasant voice.

Ethan : I actually slept really good some times all you need is a time away.

I sat there quite listen to the conversation between both of them. I smiled feels like a loving family why is Ethan worried about me being here.?

Joanne: Are you going to introduce us to your lovely friend here?

Everyone is silent again looking at Ethan. It doesn't matter how he looks he seems to look amazing and when we grab hands I felt a "Spark" between us.

Ethan: Arianna this Abby, Aisa, Justin, Andrew, Emily, Jesse, Joanne, and Clyde. Oh yeah there is Nathen but he is not here right now.

I didn't ask why just sit there in silent. Good thing I took my recorder with me I wouldn't remember their name's. I turned it off and continue drinking my coffee I have a feeling we have plans today because everyone seems in big rush.

Joanne: So, why are you guy's here on a short noticed?

Ethan: Mom! I told you about the project we have and that I was coming for a week and off to her place for a week.

Joanne: Oh that's right I thought it was next week my bad.

Ethan said in silent "Thank You" as he continue drinking his coffee.

Joanne: So how is Tiffany?

Ethan: I told her we need a "BREAK". She always nagging about things and I couldn't take it anymore. She snapped when Arianna and I become partners on a project.

Joanne: Not good I knew she was bad news when I meet her. So Arianna where are you from?

Arianna: Mackinaw City.

Joanne eyes grow wide and you can see that she was speechless. I sit there in silent once more because I didn't know what to say. I feel awkward again maybe after dinner we should head to the hotel.

Ethan: Why are you guy's in a big hurry today?

Abby: We are supposed to meet up with grandma.

Ethan and I looked at each other..
