• Dear Diary,

    tab Today is May 17th and I'm having trouble breathing. I don't feel like I want to tell anyone though, I don't want them to get worked up about something that isn't bad. Maybe it has to do with the recent nightmares I've been having, etc, but you know me. I have a vast imagination.
    I guess I can tell you (now) that it may be because of my boyfriend and I are, well, breaking up.
    It took the breath right out of me, y'know?
    He dumped me for my arch nemesis, Elissa, which, supposedly, is the name of a Greek Queen who fell in love with Aeneas, and, a second part, which she doesn't want most of us to know, is that Elissa set herself on fire when Aeneas left her. Most kids in the school (yes, sadly, including me) make fun of her behind her back about that.
    (I personally hope it comes true for her. She's such a b***h, she keeps bragging about how she's all Greek and stuff and, well, y'know what? I don't care. I'm Irish/SPAIN-ISH, so beat that combo, Elissa!)
    Elissa has blond hair, literally, strings of gold fall around her shoulders like a curtain of hair. (Or so she says, she's so dim, really, it's her HAIR!)
    I have dirty blond hair, but at least I'm smart! Right? She doesn't even know most of the vocab. in ELA, how sad is that, right?
    Well, most people call her Dido - Well, at least her close friends do. We started calling her that, anyways. Dido, as most people would think, means "to copy", right? Well, no. Not for her. Because of her "special condition" (total emphasis on the 'special'!) means "wanderer".
    I mean, really! If she had the choice, she probably wouldn't even wander out of her room! She probably has enough junk food stashed away in that room of hers that she'll last a week in there without coming out.

    I think, Elissa, might be jealous of me. In fact, she even buys some of the same makeup and clothes as me, or the same shampoo and conditioner to get her hair in the same, fabulous condition mine is in (although it never will be, because she refuses to cut it, because she says that, if she cuts it, "it'll be way shorter." I mean really! I'm starting to think that the stupid e-mail thing about that dumb blond, and truth be known, I was offended a bit, but I think it was about Elissa. And if it was, believe me, I would NOT be surprised!) but what really kills me about it, is that she looks better in it than I do!
    Awful, right? I know. But it gets worse. The guy she stole from me, my boyfriend, Clovis, (everyone called him Clove, Clovis is French for "famous warrior" and trust me, he was my warrior.) well, he thinks I'm stealing that stuff from Elissa!
    I mean you've GOT to be kidding me, right?! My own ex (who I'm pretty sure still loves me), is mad at me for supposedly stealing from Elissa, the biggest b***h in the world (yeah I said a curse, and I'm proud!)!
    I'm starting to wonder how I ever liked this boy, Clovis. Maybe he was black-mailed and is just putting up an act for Elissa, or maybe Elissa's stupid is rubbing off on him, or maybe, just maybe, I couldn't look past his incredible blue eyes and gorgeous medium-length wavy brown hair. (When I say that, girls, I mean he had wavy bangs, and between his bangs and the back of his head, a set of hair grew from eyebrow-high hair into neck-low hair, which was so hot on him.) Every time he blinked, he would do it slowly, as if he was just proving his sexiness even further, and oh my god, his kisses - Ugh. I can't seem to get him out of my mind. I know, I know, he should be my worst enemy. But I just can't give him up this easily to that disgrace-of-bitches! I tell ya, he's mine. MINE! It may not be a 'pure' thought, as my name suggests, but I swear, oops! I mean, nothing in my life is 'pure' anymore.

    So I will fight to the death with Elissa for Clove, its not about the pain, it's not about the struggle, it's about his gorgeous blue eyes and sexy brown hair and eyelashes!



    The girl who won't give up,
    Cait'. (The nickname for her real name - Caitlin, which means 'Pure' in Irish, really, look it up!)
