Dear diary,

What is love? What is it all about? I mean, there are different kinds of love, right? I know each one of them. But somehow, I can't come up with an Idea to simply describe what I am feeling right now, right at this very moment. Hmmm... I can't stop thinking about him, I can't stop fantasizing about him. He's always on my mind; that boy from school, Eli.

When did all of this happened? Ugh, I can't remember. It just happened! Way out of my control. I never thought about him this much before. I never really cared about him when we first met.. I mean, I didn't really like him back then. We were just classmates.. and friends... and classmates... Um.. Well, we're still friends now. But, I don't see a 'friend' in him anymore. He appears to be different in my eyes. A good kind of different that is! A special someone. And now he's stuck in my thoughts. And what am I going to do about that?

When he comes near me, It's like I'm suddenly out of breath. I'm at a lost for words when he talks to me.. or asks me something. It's like time suddenly stops for the both of us. It's like I don't see anybody around when we're together; not even my friend, Veronica. Ha-ha! Oh well, I don't know about this diary but it sure does feel good! I feel good when I see him at school. I feel good when he sits next to me in class and talks to me about anything.. just anything.. I feel good whenever he's around and gets sad whenever he's not. It's like a long, long day without him. Really sucks!

If this is love, that's for me to find out. Talk to you later diary.

Love,
Sammy :)

It's Saturday, 6:30 in the morning and rain is falling. I Don't feel like getting up today. Ughh.. I'm not sick though. I just wanna lay in my bed; in my jammies all day. Don't feel like going anywhere. *sighs* These rains make you lazy, but I don't mind! The cold never bothered me anyway. He he!

Now, let me check my phone.. Hmm.. But where is it? Where did I put it last night? Did I lost it? did it get stolen? What am I thinking? Why would it be stolen when I texted with Vi last night? Oh! it must be around here somewhere! Don't look with your mouth sam, look with your eyes! That's what eyes are for duh... Oh my, I'm talking to myself again.. Ugh! Oh.. Phone where are you? My Momma will kill me!

* FLASHBACK FROM THE YEAR 2002 *

- A memory from a fourth-grader Sammy where she lost-but-later-found her phone.

Little Sammy just got home from school. She didn't realize she has lost her phone or left it somewhere until dinner time.

"I'm home..!" Shouted Sammy as she opens the front door and walks in.

"Didn't your dad pick you up?" Asked her Mother who's in the kitchen cooking.

"No.. I just took the bus home.."

"Okay, go wash yourself up now, and get ready for dinner."

"Yes ma."

She quickly heads upstairs, opened her pink room door, took her black leather shoes off, and walked inside. She threw her bag on the floor, went straight to her pink wooden closet and grabbed some new pair of jammies. She then went to the bathroom and took a nice hot bath.
