Dear Journal,
I have a lot to tell you about today! It’s 9:30 pm. So this morning, I woke up, got dressed really quickly, and then I ran downstairs to have breakfast.
The date for the time was 11:30 am.
While I was waiting for everyone to arrive, I wandered around in my mom’s room, and I found a book underneath the bed. It looked old and dusty.
I then ran back to my room and opened the book, which to my surprise was a photo album. I felt so nostalgic when I opened it more.
I thought the people looked familiar.
And when I turned to the page of my birth, I thought I saw Phoebe with my cousin Periwinkle. I flipped through every picture.
I saw my best friend in each and every picture we were in. As we grew older in the pictures, the face of my best friend grew familiar.
He really started to look like Ronan. I got really confused. I flipped through more pictures until I saw one picture missing. That was only the beginning!
An unexpected memory came into my mind again. I saw myself singing a song. And then I remembered that picture too!
You’d know it an inch bit, but then you might’ve forgotten. Just a bit. As soon as I snapped right out of my memory, I heard Ashley come running upstairs.
“Come on!” she said, “Ronan is almost here!”
“Okay! I’m coming!” I replied.
So, I went downstairs. But I realized that I forgot my purse in the car. I asked my mom to hand me the keys.
While I did find my purse, it was in a spot that I found a ripped picture of Ronan! I quickly put it in my purse as soon as Cara pulled up.
In a rush, I grabbed on my shoes, and I sat down at the table.
“You ready?” Ronan asked as he walked in.
“Yes, I am!” I replied.
During the ride, I felt sort of sad-ish. Ronan and Ashley were talking about me; I dozed off, as a result of having another memory. But the only thing I saw was me hugging my best friend.
That was all I saw.
I felt Ronan’s hand on my shoulder. It shook me.
“Are you okay?” Cara asked in a soft worried voice.
“I’m fine. I was just thinking. Are we there yet?"
“Yup!” Ashley said as she opened the door of the car.
Once we started walking, I felt myself crying in my head. I was at the place I was bouncing off the walls to go! And…I was there! Windsor! My dream place!
First, we walked through the castle gardens, the theater where they showed Mean Girls, the ice cream parlor, past Legoland, and we did some walking in Berkshire.
For lunch, we had Fish and Chips (one of my personal favorites)! Or, as somebody pointed out on Facebook, “A pot of Gold”.
We then accidentally bumped into each other’s heads and died laughing. And we all took a bunch of pictures.
Then at 2:15pm, we all headed home (to our condos). At that very moment me and Ashley were dropped off, I felt very depressed.
“Are you okay?” Ronan asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“I feel like something is wrong. Is there?”
“No, there isn’t. Why?”
“I’m just making sure you’re alright, that’s all.”
As a goodbye, I gave a quick lip-lock on Ronan and went inside with my sister.
At dinner, I kept staring at the window; Mom had a notification on her phone.
“Your friends are going to stop by tomorrow. Are you okay with that?”
“Sure, they’re welcome to come over tomorrow.”
After dinner, I was sketching pictures of Artemis Fowl and Marcellus Pépinot. And that ends today's story.
I’m still trying to figure out my best friend’s name. The name sounded uncommon. But Somehow, we’ll figure it out. Right?
It’s way past my bedtime. Mom should be coming up now. I’ll talk to you in the morning. Goodnight!
All the best, Sabrina.
