For almost a year now, I have been hiding my feelings from Jeremiah, because I was scared about getting hurt. However, I have decided that I can't hide my feelings anymore. It hurts more than if he told me he did not feel the same way. With this said, I plan on taking a chance and telling Jeremiah how I feel tonight. Even if he doesn't feel the same way, I will be okay. After all, I would have gotten my feelings out in the open, and would not have lost my best friend.

From 10-11:30 each morning, and 2-4 in the afternoon, the campers were given free time. A majority of the students spent it hanging out outside or doing whatever they want. However, it did not look like that that was going to happen this morning at least. At 9:30 am, the skies had been sunny and mildly cloudy. Five minutes later, it had started raining cats and dogs. It had not let up since. Unfortunately, this meant that Harrison and the rest of the guys of cabin F1 had to cancel their plans for the morning. As he listened to the other cabin, Thomas silently reveled in his own disappoint-ment. He had truly been looking forward to going on a hike with Charlotte this morning. Friend wise, he enjoyed spending as much as he could with Charlotte. She was truly like a sister to him."What kind of dance is tonight's dance?" Travis Simpson wanted to know."Black light." Zeke York, the boys counselor replied. "As we were heading back from worship, I saw some of the staff decorating for it.""Cool." Harrison replied. "So, did you guys ask anyone to go to the dance?"I asked Dana from E4 to go with me.""Elizabeth from F6 will be going with me." Travis smiled. "I asked Kristin Jefferson ." Thomas replied. Turning to Jensen, Thomas asked, "What about you, Jensen? Who did you ask?"Blushing a little, Jensen replied, "I asked Charlotte Beiger."

"Okay, so what period do you guys have English?" Melissa asked, taking a sip of her drink."First." C.J. replied."Same here "Valerie exclaimed, as she and C.J. gave each other high fives."I have English second period." Melissa frowned. "At least you and I have Math 9 together." Valerie said, trying to make her friend feel better."And let's not forget that the three of us have Geography and P.E. together, too." C.J. smiled, catching on to what Valerie was trying to do."That's true." Melissa smiled. "That's very true."Raising her glass, Valerie said, "I would like to make a toast to a new year and our best friend, C.J.""Cheers." The three girls said in unison, clinking their Star-bucks drinks together." As the girls took sips of their drinks, C.J. could not help but smile. School had not even started yet and she already had a plethora of friends. Much to her excitement, she also had two new and genuine best friends. This truly made C.J. happy more than anything else.

Taking a good and relaxing shower, I thought about what this wonderful day had brought. Not only had it brought a wonderful and quick flight from Los Angeles to my wonderful and amazing family, best friends, and good friends (Due to my career as an actress, I live with my wonderful, amazing, and favorite Aunt Noelle), in Dallas, I also enjoyed a Christmas lunch that Mom had made. Next, my fraternal twin sister, Natalie, Mom, Dad, and I had sat around the tree and exchanged gifts.Even though today had been jam packed with fun, the fun was not over yet. My family's lifelong best friends, the Koloff's (While one of the fraternal twin boys, Kent, is my best friend and my sister's longtime boyfriend, the other twin, Jacob, is my sister's and my best friend, as well as my longtime secret love interest.) will be keeping up the lifelong tradition of meeting up for dinner. This year, we will be enjoying a dinner at the Koloff's. Like I said, the fun will be continuing tonight

The week of New Year's Eve and New Year's Day has always been one of my favorite weeks of the year. Besides my birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, I look forward to this week with a passion. This is do the fact that my family and I spend the week in our large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida, with our lifelong best friends, the Harris's. While Mom and Dad have been best friends with Rhoda and Timothy, since they were babies, their hot son, Jeremiah, whom I am secretly in love with, and I have been best friends since we were babies.As our plane touched down at Orlando International Airport, excitement filled my chest. The week long vacation in Henley Beach had officially begun

Standing on my front porch, and watching it driveway, my mind was flooded with happy memories of this summer's tour. Not only had I spent time with my wonderful and amazing bodyguard and manager, but I had also performed in amazing cities across the U.S. Truth be told, I had had the time of my life Even though this was true I had missed my twin sister, parents, best friends, and plethora of good friends like crazy Truth be told it was great to be home

"Thank you so much for inviting me to come to stay at you guys beach house with you this summer " Carmen exclaimed. "I am so excited to be here ""Well, we are excited to have you here " Mom replied."We sure are " Dad added."I know that I am definitely excited to have you here with us " I smiled, it will be nice to have another teenage girl in the house this summer For as long as I can remember, my family and a family that are lifelong good friends of ours have spent each summer at my family's and my extra large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida. The good friends include very sexy and hot, and extremely nice twin boys named Carter and Cameron. For as long as I can remember, I have secretly been in love with Carter. With this, I plan on telling him how I feel this summer. I am truly looking forward to seeing everyone, especially him.

For Katum High School's Christmas talent show, Cabe and Cora would be singing "Rewrite The Stars" from "The Greatest Showman". When Cabe had asked her to sing that song with him, Cora had automatically said yes. After all that Cabe and their best friends, Colbie and Caitlin, had done for her, Cora could not help but say yes. After all, singing a song with the guy that she was secretly in love with sounded like an amazing idea.

When I woke up from surgery, I found my Mom and Dad hovering over my bed. The Adams and Rev. Parker were there, too. All of them had tears in their eyes. They had also looked relieved. Had something happened during surgery? Before I could ask aloud the question that I was asking myself, my parents were gently hugging and kissing me. Tearfully, they had also told me that my heart had stopped for two minutes during surgery. With that said, it had been decided in the end that the doctors would keep me in the hospital two weeks longer than expected.For the next two years, I endured countless chemo and radiation, as well as surgeries. During this time, I also attended homeschool. Even though I wished I could join my friends in regular school, I enjoyed being home-schooled. At the time it was the best option for me. After two of chemo treatments, radiation, and surgeries, it was finally time for me to be on remission. It was also time for me to rejoin my friends in regular school. This truly made me excited more than anything.Two years later, I am still on remission and going strong. I am even continuing to thrive at my high school. Besides being the new captain of my dance team, I am also one of the most popular girls in my grade. I am also an honor student. Most importantly, however, my faith is unbreakable and strong. That in itself, is a true blessing to me.

Dear Journal, For as long as I can remember, Mom and I have spent the first week of July at our large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida. This year, however, it will not just be Mom and me spending the week at our beach house. Mom's longtime good friend from college, Debbie, and her son, Greyson, will be spending it with us. Even though I am a little nervous about meeting Debbie and Greyson, I am truly excited about meeting and getting to know them After all, I love meeting new people -Gabrielle

Moving on, let me tell you about what is going on today. Today is my twin sister, Jessica's, and my eighteenth birthday. From what she has told me, Jessica is having a co-ed sleepover party What my sister and our plethora of best and good friends don't know is that Timothy, Celia, and I are coming to town for the night to surprise her and everyone else at her party Due to the fact that everyone who will be at that party are die hard fans of Timothy and Celia, including my sister who has never met them, it is going to be a big and wonderful surprise for them The only ones who are in on the surprise are my aunt, uncle, and parents

Dear Journal, Three years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 2 brain cancer. Six months ago it went from a stage 2 to stage 4.With this said, the doctors say that I won't live past early August. Even though this is a very intense situation, I am not angry at the world, nor am I scared to die. I am just grateful for the time that I have with all of the wonderful people in my life.Moving on to happier things, let me tell you about what I am able to do today. As we speak, My amazing twin brother, Caden, wonderful parents, and I are on a plane to Orlando, Florida. When we land, we will be boarding a rental car, and will make our way to our extra large beach house in Henley Beach, Florida, where we will be staying with our lifelong best friends, the Meyers. We will be staying there from today-Thursday morning (Usually, we would be staying until Friday morning, but I have to be back at the hospital on Friday.That was the deal that my awesome doctors and nurses made with my family before agreeing to let me go on the trip.). I am especially excited about this trip because it is the first time that I have been back here since being diagnosed with cancer. Due to the fact that the Meyer twins, Catherine (Caden's longtime girlfriend, and one of my best friends ) and Caleb (My longtime secret love interest), have no idea that I will be here, too Not only am I excited about seeing the twins and their parents, I am excited about seeing the twin's reactions XOXO, Conn

About a month ago, Ivy's twin sister, Kayla, and their best friends, Marie and Zack (Ivy's longtime secret love interest, had sent nasty texts to her phone, and had started a club on Facebook called "Ivy Sucks". Even though everyone had seen it, nobody had joined. Instead, the page received messages about how Ivy was awesome and that those three should be ashamed of themselves for starting a nasty page such as that. Even though Ivy had not known why her sister and best friends had done these awful things, she had a feeling that it was due out of jealousy.Even though her sister and best friends had come to their senses, taken the page down, and tried to get in touch with Ivy to apologize for everything, Ivy ignored them and wouldn't hear of it. That is how angry and hurt she was. Eventually, they had stopped trying to get in contact with her.Fast forward to today, Ivy is ready to forgive them, start over, but is appre-hensive about it. After all, the last thing she wants is to get hurt again.

Taking a warm and relaxing shower, I cannot help but think of all of the things that today had brought, so far. After picking me up from the airport, Mom had taken me to lunch. Afterwards, we received massages and facials. After that, we came home. Even though, I am here in town just for the night, let me let you a little bit of why I am in town.My lifelong best friends, twins Eli (My lifelong secret love interest) and Ellie, turned eighteen today. To celebrate, they are having a co-ed sleepover with a plethora of our good friends. I know this because both of them have told me about it, and how awesome it is going to be. They also have said a plethora of times that they wish that I could be there. Unbeknowst to them, I will be crashing the party. The only people who are in on the surprise are my Mom, aunt, and the twins parents, Emerson and Eddie. With this said, I am truly excited about tonight

Tired, happy, and relaxed, I open my eyes to the dimmed lights in the plane. The pilot has just announ-ced that we will be landing at Hobby Airport in ten minutes. Due to the fact that it has been six whole months since I have seen my parents and best friends (This was due to filming a movie this summer, as well as my TV show), this makes me VERY excited.As I relax into my first class plane seat, I think about what this trip home has to offer. Not only will I be cele-brating Christmas with my wonderful parents, I will also be attending my best friends' annual Christmas sleepover. Another exciting thing about this trip is the fact that I will be turning eighteen in two days, and will be having a big party at Hotel Icon With this said, even though I am here until Friday, I have alot to look forward to

Dear Journal, Up until the age of thirteen, my best friend/ longtime secret love interest, Carter, and I would celebrate our birthdays together This is due to the fact that he and I share the same birthday Why did the joint celebration stop at thirteen, you ask? That summer was the summer that I moved to Los Angeles to live with my amazing and favorite Aunt Sara, and start filming my new TV show. Even though we would call or facetime each other(we do this daily), and wish each other a happy birthday, and mail each other birthday gifts, it was not the same as being together on our birthdays. Unbeknownst to Carter, and our good friends, I am flying home to Phoenix, AZ to surprise him at his birthday party tonight(Due to the fact that I want to look my best, I went to my usual hair and nails spa yesterday, and got a mani/ pedi, as well as my hair trimmed and cleaned up yesterday) Even though I am only able to be here for the day, and fly back tonight, it is completely worth it -Rachel XOXO
