Chapter 3 second day and Max's birthday

i wake up the next morning and get ready for the day. i decided on a pair of white heels to go with my blue dress. i style my hair so it's half up half down but i curled it. i do smokey eyes for my eyeshadow and a dark red lipstick. i grab my bag and i go downstairs. as i walk into the kitchen i see that my dad is already up he turns around the hands me my lunch bag and my cup that has coffee in it i hug him."thanks dad i appreciate it. i know today is going to be even better and yesterday cuz today i'm going to show everyone just who the real me is." my dad hugs back and smiles."you're welcome sweetie i do hope your day goes as you plan. i will see you after school" he lets me go and i head to the bus stop right after i hug my sister and kiss your head. as a way at the bus stop i think about how much homework to give me tonight. i also think about how i'm going to approach brad and ask him. i'm so nervous i don't know this the bus arrive. one of the seniors taps me on the shoulder and let me know. i felt so embarrassed but as i picked the seat on the bus to sit down and one of the seniors is sits next to me. We talk and i find out her name is cleo. She becomes like an older sister to me.

when we reach school she gets off and waits for me to get off. She takes me to where the juniors and seniors are sitting. I stop and they smile at me and smile back. I stand there and they move and make room for me and i sit. They ask me how i am and what i like to do in my spare time. " i love to read, sing and draw. Plus hang out with my lil sister. She is my life to me." They listen and smile and nod. The bell rings signaling that first period is going to start. Cleo and some of the other seniors walk me to my class which is spanish. Cleo and i hug and then i go into spanish where my bestie hannah is. She hugs me tightly and i hug her back. " I missed you so so much hannah. Where were you? I was and had been worried." Hannah sits." im so sorry maria. A lot happened. I will tell you later."

after spanish we went to our next class which was a study hall. hannah told me that she had a lot of family drama this summer. she then started to ask me what my summer was like. "my summer was good. we did some camping. i celebrate my 13th birthday. got to spend some time with my cousin at her house. i just can't believe that we are freshmen." we did our homework that we had. by the time we got done it was time for our next class by the end of the day i was so tired mary go home. i was reading on the bus when one of the juniors came and sat next to me. we talked for a little bit that was my stop to get off i saw my mom and my sister waiting for me. i've been off the bus and straight to them and gave him a hug. i asked my sister how school was we were walking home. max smiled and said her day was amazing. that she had fun and made some new friends. i was so proud of her it's only the second day. we couldn't wait for the weekend because friday was max's birthday. she was turning nine. her theme was jojo siwa. our mom got everything from the cake to the plates to the bows. max is 9th birthday party was going to be extraordinary. she was so happy mom was going to make her deviled eggs and her ziti. i was talking with max to see what she really wanted for her birthday. she told me that she wanted different things. by the time we got done talking it was time for dinner. Our mom made zucchini boats and then she had made a big batch of brownies for dessert. we after that we help mom with the stuff. then we sat in living room and watched a movie until it's time for bed.

As i sat on my bed i took out my diary and i started writing about how the day went. I wrote in there for at least half an hour. I put in my headphones i listened to music as i started to read my book. fall asleep i took off my headphones turn off the music and put my book away.

When I woke up the next day I was excited cause it was Max's birthday. My little sister would be turning 9 today. That made me smile even better. I went to check on her and saw she was still sleeping and quietly left her room. Mom was downstairs making breakfast. mickey mouse pancakes and bacon and hash is Max's favorite. I went and hugged her. "Hey mama what can I do to help?" She hugged back and said " get the plates please and set the table and make Max's smoothie how she likes it when you make it for her." I smiled and started to do what she asked. When I was done I then went up to Max's room and kissed her head. " lil sis time to get up and happy birthday princess". She woke up and hugged me.

After breakfast we ended up doing something fun. We went to the movies and then went to the store and bought her the few extra things she wanted. After the store we went back home to have cake and ice cream. I then helped her get ready for bed. After that I went and got myself to my room and got ready for bed myself. I emailed some of my friends and talked to them. I took out my diary and started to write.

"dear diary I had fun celebrating max and helping out. Wish I could've made it better."

I then put my dairy away and turned off my lap. Put on my radio and listened to country music. I later then fell asleep.
