Our Secret Diary

Chapter one - The pages of her heart The afternoon sun poured through the window of Angelique small room, casting golden patterns on the floor. It was her favorite time of the day, not because of the light, but because it meant she was finally alone. School was behind her, her house chores were done and now she could retreat into her world - the world she created on the pages of her dairy. The little book rested on her palm and she opened it before writing . "Dear diary" she began, her pen scratching softly against the paper. " It happened again today. I saw him." Her thoughts raced as she wrote . Jace was everywhere this day- in her thoughts, her mind and even her dreams. Sometimes, she find herself straightening her posture while walking in the hallway hoping he might notice her. But of course, he never did. Jace was the boy everyone knew. The star of the basketball team. He was that kind of boy who seemed untouchable but to Angelique, he wasn't just Jace the popular boy. He was Jace the guy with a warm smile, the guy who opened the door for her hand were full of books , the guy who returned her lost book without knowing it was even hers . "I know I shouldn't think about him this much," she wrote . "He probably doesn't even know my name. But today, I saw him looked my way, just for a second anyway." She closed her diary and leaned on her chair. " Angel" her mother's call cut through her thoughts." have u finished your work" Anna, her mom asked. "Yes mama" Angelique replied. Dinner that night was uneventful as always. Her father asked about school and her mom also did the same but Angelique barely heard a word, her mind was still on Jace as his laughter filled the cafeteria that afternoon. Later that night as the house settled into silence, she retrieved her diary again , she flipped through the pages reading what she wrote.Each entry was the same, filled with observation about Jace and Jace only. " Maybe one day, I will be brave enough to talk to him about this", she wrote , " But untill then, I have this " she wrote again before finally closing the book . She slid the diary back under her pillow before turning off the light. As she drifted of to sleep, she dreamt of a world where Jace saw her. Not just as the quiet girl at the back of the class ,- but as Angelique, someone who worth noticing.
