It's like this....
"My name is Nicky Lawrence. Yes I am grumpy. And after Mom gave me a diary I was even more grumpy, and insulted too because I'm just a mediocre person that nothing exciting ever happens to so why would I want to write about that in a diary? But to keep her happy I started filling it in and amazingly not long after things began to change for me.
I can't say for sure that it was the diary. It's not like it was a magic book, I don't think. But before I started writing my life seriously sucked, so it sort of felt like magic.
And then there was that movie. Yeah, the movie. It had a really strong effect on me. Seems weird something like that could turn on the light in my dull, boring life, but it did.
And then there's the geek. The nerd. The last person on earth I would have wanted to be seen alive or even dead with.
A lot of stuff happened to me in one month - some of it was really horrible and definitely scary. But mostly I found out who my true friends are and I discovered how quickly my heart could change my mind and my mind could change my heart.
I'll never be the same again. It was amazing!" |
