This was a school day and my best friend's birthday. His name is Daniel he turned 15 that day, he lived in Covina which is a small 20-minute drive. I got there late as I always do and before that, I passed by a Walmart where I got a PS4 10$ Gift card. When I got there I saw a known friend Aiden and Devon, they were doing some interesting things before Devon said that he wouldn't be able to go. But he then came out of the closet and then I saw Aiden tied to a bed with his blanket over him and he was in his underwear for whatever reason. After that, he got dressed and we went outside and we did stupid stuff. We went back inside and Aiden had football practice he didn't go to and his parents were mad at him so he had to leave. After that Daniels's mom got us KFC which we all ate but there was a problem with Devon's black trying to take all of it. Then we took a pic of me as a joke acting as it was a mukbang. Devon left and me and Daniel were left to clean the mess that Devon made and caused.

This day wasn't special or anything but it's something that I will always remember about. This day was the day, Devon, and Daniel all hung out. This was the day we met Daniel's new girlfriend Kaylah. We'd always talk but never actually met her or saw her in person and decided to go to Daniel's house as her parents didn't want her to be in public like the mall for whatever reason. When she got to the front door they let her in and ran and hid in the house she didn't like that as she does like walking into people's rooms especially if she doesn't know them. She found Devon first and then she found me as I and Devon were in the same room. Devon ran and hid behind a couch in the living room and we didn't know where Daniel but then finally we all acted like normal human mature people. We went to Daniel's room and started talking about random things. We agreed to walk to the 7/11 as there was one 15 minutes away to stuff we got there and I don't remember what we bought or if we bought anything but we also went to food4less and didn't buy anything there either we walked back. On the way back we walked across the street after we weren't supposed to and we blamed each other. When we got back we took a picture of all of us to keep as a reminder of our first hangout of all three of us. This was a struggle as Kaylah didn't want to because she didn't look good which was BS but after 10 minutes of trying to convince her she finally agreed. We took it and a while after Devon left Daniel's mom got home so we went some place for food and a boba and then we took one to Devon's house. Then back at Daniel's house, he began to get harassed by Kaylah while I played siege and then Daniel's step-dad called for us to help move so we did. Then an hour later Kaylah left and soon after I did too.

This is one of my more unimportant dates but is sorta memorable to me as this was the first time in my year and a half of playing siege I hit the rank silver for the first time. I struggled to hit silver because whenever I played siege ranked, I'd play with a friend of mine who was a peak, Emerald, so the lobby would be more difficult but he'd usually carry me. It took me three games first game I won brought me to around Bronze 1 with 73 Rp, then my second game I lost bringing me down to 62 Rp, and my 3rd game I won. In the 2 games that I won, I went either positive or neutral the only time I went negative was the game I lost. I also didn't play with my friends so they were lobbies so it was much easier. The last game that I played ended with me going 6-4 which isn't too good or too bad. It was also a 4-0 game. The main reason that I also hit Silver quickly was because I was gaining around 70 Rp per win and only losing around 13 per loss it only took me around 15 games which isn't bad. But since then I have fallen off and I'm currently washed I am in the lowest rank with a 1.1 Kd and I have like 4 games played but I keep grinding and hit Plat or emerald next season.

This day is memorable to me as it was during chemistry and I got to do something fun making gold that isn't gold. It was a lab in Chemistry we first started by getting any penny that was old or new, new ones worked better. My penny was old but we first got our penny and cleaned them in the vinegar and water solution for 30 seconds and removed and dry and weighed them. Then we placed them in a zinc and sodium hydroxide and waited till the pennies were coated with zinc this was over the hot plate that was heated and we moved the beaker, removed any excess zinc placed it in water, and then dried them weighed them and rubbed lightly with a paper towel, after all the steps we now have a silver penny but the cool things is that its compound is still copper and zinc. Then we place the dry silver pennies back on the hot plate and don't let it burn we leave it till it gets a gold color and then quickly remove or there will be a dark yellow stain or burn. Put in H2O and wait to take and then dry and now you have a gold penny. I liked this lab a lot as it was fun and it wasn't just doing boring work. I kept the penny till the end of the day and I had it in my pocket but tragically over time my penny gold cover began to rub away and then I had a pinkish penny weird that It changed to that but now it's back with the other pennies. "Which shows some people only want you at your peak but leave and stop supporting you the second you begin to struggle or have problems".

This date isn't the exact date I received this end of end-of-year certificate but instead the day I took a picture of this paper. I'll talk about the day when I get it as that's more important. It was the end of the school year and I was in the Yearbook for my freshman year that day Mr. Melchor was giving awards to people for all sorts of stupid things, for example, people who break the most things, talk the most/ gossips these I believe went to Kiara. Others were for people who were a great help in making the Yearbook. Then towards the end, I get my name called and get an award for the Most Lowkey Riz, Mr. Melchor thought Rizz only had one z and we were trying to explain but he still disagreed. Then another girl ended up getting the certificate for the Most Highkey Riz. The main reason I got this certificate was because, during my Freshman year, I would always talk and be with some girl. Then we had the same 2nd English period with Mr. Melchor and he'd always tease me about it. He also was aware that I would ditch 6th to be with her and he'd also say something about that. He only stopped doing that after I informed him that she and I weren't talking/together anymore, he felt bad because right before I told he said You texting her, aren't you. This was the main and only reason I got this certificate which was nice to get.
