Hello Loves, Halloween is tomorrow I wonder what everyone will be wearing… B looked pissed at the end of 7th period – apparently she had to play goalie. Hmm lets all shed a tear for her. (Notice freshly dyed hair) J was caught throwing a fit in the hall today – over what you may ask? Ask her yourself. Apparently the Twins were both whispering to A and the Ice Queen about…me? I told you all I would never tell my name. B flirting with N again, I personally think he doesn’t like her that much – you all know it’s true. K was hugging one of the twins today. I wonder if it was the one who is going out with J- or are they still together? Looks like A got a haircut…the layers don’t really work for her. She would have been better off getting a dye job – or her highlights retouched.

Does she know track season isn’t until spring? Signature; Her jeering smile, and pigeon toed step Love life; Not exactly single, everyone knows she is after N Friends; with everyone – except a few choice people like D and the Ice Queen A soccer ball is usually by her side as she as she is strutting with her shorts and hoodie (is that all she owns?) down the hall beside J. S is always in her space; and is always sucking J’s butt. B’s short gleaming black hair is of course, routinely placed on top of her head in a small pony-tail. Her fringe is in her bitter hazel eyes as she smiles at her friends and pretends to know what is going on; but is really lost in her own thoughts. Known as; The Ice Queen Personality; Cruel, can be sweet if she likes you; which she probably doesn’t Known for; her beautiful misty sea green eyes, stunning physique and disgusting pitilessness that she has had since kindergarten; I guess she is just a people person?
