August 18~Monday

We started a new year here at Suncrest High. Oh Joy! Everything's pretty much the same. Devon's big man on campus this year. Senior year. Mom n Jackson are thrilled, cuz he's already bein scouted by some big name universities. As usual, I'm the least of their priorities.

It's only the first hour, of the first day, and I'm already counting down the days 'til Christmas Vacation. 123 days.

I wouldn't usually do this, you know, writin in a journal n all, but now we got this gay ass English teacher. She's new here and started this journal writing assignment. I think it's a load of b.s, considering the fact she ain't even readin' 'em.

Right now we're suppose to be writin' down our feelings. I'm countin' down the minutes 'til the end of the bell. 3... 2... 1... later!

August 20~Wednseday

Carly Linstrom and her little posse are such assholes! They all judge us, just cuz we don't care what others think and what's in style n cuz Conner's got some bright blue hair. That still don't give 'em an excuse to be jerks.

Anyway, it's the 3rd day of school and they're already startin' a fight. Jeff, one of her groupies, threw an apple at Conner and it nailed him in the back of the head. Conner stood up, and so did Jeff. Jeff called Conner white trash and Conner called him a mammas boy. Jeff, being the bad-ass he seems to think he is, punched Conner sqare in the nose. When Conner punched him back, the rest of Carly's groupies jumped in, beatin' the living shit outta 'im.

Finally, Dr. Fox broke it up, grabbed Conner and Jeff by the shirts and told them to follow him, while the rest of the tag-a-longs got off free. The worst part is that Conner got this whole thing blamed on him, so he got stuck in detention for 2 days. All because the stupid cliques at our school can't get along. Stupid preppies.

August 22~Friday

Here I am...in detention! All because I called Dr. Fox a few names. Apparently swearing at the principal lands you here. I still can't believe Jeff and his people got away with nothing! Conner skipped detention today! Man is he gonna get it!

Mom and Jackson were a little pissed over the fact that I got a detention in the first week of school. They said it wasn't possible...I guess I proved them wrong. Then they went on about how their sweet, perfect Devon would never do such a thing and how he's sooooo perfect! That's a laugh! If only they knew what they're perfect Devon was doing last night at Jennifer's house when they were suppose to be studing.

Conner, Angie and I all had plans, but I kinda kissed those good-bye when I opened my mouth and spoke my mind in front the the principal on Wednseday. Oh well.

Now that I think about it, hanging out at The Max, isn't such a bad idea. Hmm...maybe 2 weeks of punishment is worth it, and if I don't get caught...

Well, it's 3:30, I've done my time!
