Creative Writing: “Diary Entry of Lennox Williams,” (7/13/2010)

*Diary entry of the main character from my story.*

7/13/2010
Dear Diary,

"This whole Celiac thing totally sucks. I was craving some whole wheat pancakes when I woke up this morning. Instead, mom makes me something, called, “Buckwheat” pancakes. It was grainy, and gross. I don’t know if I can do this. I told mom that this is totes hard, and she said that I have no choice but to be gluten free. This afternoon, my little brother came home with a doggy bag of chicken nuggets, and fries. He was out with his baseball team, for a victory lunch. Their win today got them in the finals. I don’t go to his games, except for whenever they have a big game. Mom and dad make me go. Whatever.
Sasha is leaving for overnight camp tomorrow and is packing today *sad face* It’s like all of my friends have stuff going on. Like, Holly is a junior counselor this summer, and won’t be around. Connor went to baseball camp. Darcy went on vacation with her family. I’m, like, all alone. Well, I still have Heather. Heather is in summer school. She missed a lot of school last year because she got mono. I will be able to hang with her after she gets out of summer school.

I still haven’t told Heather that I have Celiac disease. I hope she doesn’t think I’m a freak or whatever.
Ugh, mom is calling me to clean the kitchen. I just want to rest up here, and curse the world.
Ta for now!
