Dear Diary, it's me, Maddie, I just finished school. Tomorrow is prom and I'm in the car going to the dress shop. My dramatic little sister got us all panicked and shopping for a random birthday. She's 12 though. Xavier, my big brother and Matt my cousin (same age), didn't really mind they sort of just ignored the whole thing. I'm getting ready and we're gonna be in the car in 30 minutes, I have to go byyeee!

Dress Shopping

I just got back from shopping. I went with my little sister Amy, my big sister, Elena, my mom, her sister, and Matt's sister Zoe. It was so fun, laughing and singing the whole way home and back. We were getting dresses for me and Zoe ( We're the same age). In the end I got a beautiful strapless light green dress, one like Tiana's, actually I just searched up how Tiana's dress looks like, nothing like my dress! Just the sort of mood she has around her. Zoe got one that looked a bit like it but in light purple. We then got home and it was like an oversized sleepover, yaaaayy!

Prom Day

I got home from prom and it was amazing! Everything was perfect and in sync and everyone was happy. I was tired at first, I think I fainted actually, then there was a new guy, two actually, but the one I talked to, a boy named Cole, gave me his special homemade red and juicy fruit punch. It tasted bad at first, then I realised it had the most remarkable, extraordinary, amazeballs aftertaste ever! It electrified me. After that I was walking the beach with Cole, I felt truly happy today.

The Half-Date

I took his number, and we decided to meet up again, as I didn't know when we would see each other again just by coincidence. So then I called him, and asked if he was free to walk by the beach again, he said sure, so we met up, before the sunset with a couple of hours, we walked together, with his deep hazel-green eyes I could drown in, we had an amazing day, he walked me home, and made sure I got home safely, even waited until I passed through the door. We said our goodbyes and promised to meet again soon

Another Half-Date

I told my mom about Cole a few days ago, when I got home from prom, I told her how amazing he was, along with all the rest of the girls in the family, same with Zoe, she told us all about Jesse. I decided I should call Cole to meet up again, so we did, we went out for lunch at Sandy's
