Creative Writing: “Diary Entry of Lennox Williams” (7/20/2010)

*Disclaimer: These “diary entries” are a sneak peek into the book I am currently writing. The book is about a 14 year old girl who was just diagnosed with Celiac disease. The “diary entries” will discuss how she is dealing with her diagnosis, the summer before she starts high school. If you have any questions about this story, please contact me, or comment below. I hope you enjoy this series!*

Dear diary,

“The past few days, I been keeping a low profile. After the humiliation at the mall, I been too freaked to go out. I spent some time on facebook, talking to some of my online friends. We play Farmville together.
Mom and I went out for coffee earlier today. She had the coffee, and I had a Green Tea Frap. It was delish! Mom and I had a great talk, and then I saw Kevin walk in with some sleazy girl. She They ordered soup and sandwiches, and sat at a table in front of us. Kevin was facing me, and gave me a total stink face look. He grabbed sleaze girl’s hand and kissed it. I swear, I threw up in my mouth. I wanted to slap him for that. I asked mom if we could go for a walk in the nearby park. We walked through the park, and talked. She knew I was bummed about something, so I told her about Kevin. She told me that guys can be idiots, but, there are some good guys out there who will understand my situation. I told mom that I hope so, or else high school is going to be a lonely place."


Well, I’m off to play more Farmville. At least in that reality, I don’t have to worry about having Celiac disease. Ugh!
