While unpacking her bags a book fell out of Joan's bag , a white jutter designed with pink sequence she takes a good look at it and smiles " Mom ,mom where are we going " Joan ran after her mom "come on give me your hand " her mom smiled at her and stretched her hand out to her the cross tne the busy streets of California.
Today was Joan's thirteen birthday and her mom had surprise planned for her crossing the street they got to the Mcvites Cafe there her friends and family waited for her she and her mom walked to the table only to see everyone so sad ,so sad that her best friends Emily and Nathan were consoling themselves she too became sad but as soon as she became sad everyone shouted "Happy Birthday Joan" the cake was brought so were the food ,drinks and she became receiving gifts Nathan gave her a cherry necklace cause it was her favourite fruit then Emily gave her a new red phone case. Her aunt Silvia gave her a new phone and Silvanna her cousin aunt Silvia's daughter gave her a cute charm bracelet after all the different gifts had been giving her mom gave her a cute white jutter designed with pink sequences "wow mom it's cute but you know I don't do diary stuff ,so what I'm gonna do with it " her mom smiled at her " write about all your experiences , adventures , in it okay " . Joan wiped her eyes after remembering all her mom said .knock ...knock Joan arranged her stuff and stood up walking to the door she asked " Who's there ?" " It's me "Mrs Xang answered she opened the door " Hey darling ,I was wondering ,I know it's too early , but do you think you can resume school today " " Um...sure why not I'll get ready " Mrs Xang sighed " You're such a strong girl and you can call me Aunt Veronica okay " Joan managed to put up a smile " sure , I'll be down in a minute " she said as she closed the door she turned and walked towards her wardrobe ' It's a bit to early but I really want to see my friends ' she said to herself ,she took a look at her jutter and put it in her bag .
Joan's Pov
Dale High school
8:30
"Joanna Maurice!!!" A hig pitched scream erupted through the walls of the hallway I turned back to see my friend Emily running towards me wearing pink cargo jeans and a cute white shirt and white sneakers with her hands wide open for a hug , behind her was Nathan taking domineering steps towards me with both hands in his pockets smiling his cute dimples showing . Suddenly I was enveloped by a cherry scented perfume which I'm sure belonged to Emily she was hugging me "Oh my gosh I've missed you " she said as she hugged me , Nathan got to us and hugged me ,"You don't know what it's like to be with a he-goat" she said referring to Nathan he playfully slapped her head and responded" If I'm a he-goat then you're a she goat " I chuckled" I've really missed you guys " they smiled as we went to our class .
" So how's your mom ?"Emily asked as she came and sat with us , " Well she didn't make it unfortunately " I said sad " Aww sorry "Emily apologized ,Nathan moved closer and hugged me " I'm sorry Jo "he said his deep voice sounding very sad . "Okay students !!" The teacher Mr Desmond out Biology teacher said walking in , "oh Joan you're back , how's your mom " he asked sympathetically I told him exactly what I told Emily and Nathan everyone in the class was sad except my hated enemy Laura Croft "So I guess we can't learn because of this weirdo right ?" She smirked , "Can't you just be nice her mom just died you psycho " Emily asked disgusted,"Oh I'm sorry and I sympathize " she said sarcastically and laughed along with her stupid friends ,the reason she hates me so much is because of Nathan , he broke up with her to be friends with me . I shaked my head and buried my head in my books Nathan tapped my head I turned back and smiled, Nathan seats behind me and Emily beside me .
