Dear Diary,

So I told you that I’d fill you in on everything that happened with me. And, boy, where do I begin? Well, after Felix left to go visit his parents over the summer, I met a boy who seems really cool. He had been Bree’s long-time boyfriend but I guess has had some trouble with his dad and Bree couldn’t stick around that kind of drama. Drama, I can do. Did you know he doesn’t eat meat? That’s so cool!

I let him know through Scott (ugh, such a sleezebucket. How he gets in the middle of all these goings on is beyond me) that I’d like to spend some time with him. I haven’t heard back from him but I don’t think anyone else has either. I hear he might like Charlene (Cubbie, not Charlene Whitehead) or maybe Natalie Washington. Whatever. If he likes me he’ll make time for me.
…
I’M RIGHT HERE, PRINCE!

Anyway, Diary, you simply won’t believe it. So apparently Rachel told the underwear model about me (such a gossip) and he told his friend that I live in the same condo building as the Suzuki family. So the model’s friend, it turns out, is best friends with one of the kids over there. Guess who? That’s right, ICHIRO! I told Ichiro about it while he was helping me to pick out a scarf (Burberry, he always picks Burberry). Well, two days later this pimply, skinny kid shows up in front of our place on this little tiny Kawasaki motorcycle (I remember the weirdest details) with chocolate dipped strawberries asking to go on a date. In front of God and EVERYONE! I could’ve crawled into the sewer and DIED. It was so embarrassing! So my DAD comes outside and gives me this nod. The Kawasaki Kid told me that he had asked MY DAD if he could ask me on a date and got his PERMISSION before anyone thought to bring it up to ME! I swear, I DID die, right there, for, like, 12 seconds. This is the most horrible thing that’s ever happened to me. I had to say yes but I told him to meet me at The Cheesecake Factory on Friday. No WAY am I going WITH him. And maybe I can get some Cheesecake out of this.

I hope Prince calls on Thursday. I’d ditch this guy in a second and my Dad can go screw himself.

P.S. So I apparently need to join the foreign exchange club. I heard from a friend who heard from Rachel that some guy in Japan is thinking about moving here because he likes me. I don’t even know him! Annie told me that she was his pen-pal (she’s so weird) and they never really hit it off so that’s one point in his favor, I guess. Man, Felix is gonna be soooo jealous when he gets back. He’s always just the cutest when he gets so fired up.
