It's raining outside. So cold. I don't know what to do. I mean, it's so boring.

 I decided to clean my room. As I was cleaning under my bed whenI found my diary. Or should I call it journal. It was dirty, dusty and old. Some parts of the cover were ripped apart.

 I started to read it...

 August 8, 2008

It was a sunny afternoon, my sister and I had a deal. She'll go to his boyfriend and she'll let my girl visit me. But I must call her and warn her if our parents came home.

 "But promise me to come back before 6 p.m." I said.

 "Yes, father. I swear." she promised.

 "Whatever. I'm not your father. I'm not anyone's father." I grumbled. "But soon..."

 "Oh no, Elyar. Not now. You're still not circumcised." she protested.

 "Just leave." I rolled my eyes.

 Then she kissed me on my cheeks and leave. Eeew. By the way his boyfriend is just a house away. And my girl is his sister.

  Minutes later, Ellie, my girl came.

 She wore golden yellow shirt and skirt. She really is beautiful.

 "Uhm. hey!" I greeted her. "Come on in."

 "So what are you busy for?" She asked.

 "Oh, just reading. What do you want? Juice? Milk? Cookies?" I asked her.

 "Orange Juice please." she ordered. I smiled.

   While I was preparing juice for her. I heard her shouting, "Uhm, El. How about  a movie. So, what do you think?"

  "Uhm. Yeah, great idea El. I'll bring cookies, then." I shouted back.

  "Ok." She agreed.

 A minute later. I lunged to the living room with a tray in my hand.

  "Yay. Thank you, El." She said while getting her juice and cookie.

 "Sure, El. So what are we going to watch?" I asked. Even though I knew what was playing on the T.V.

  "Sleeping Beauty." We both said in chorus.

 "Again." I also said.

 "Oh come on El. It's so beautiful." she protested.

 "I think this is the millionth time you're gonna watch this." I guessed. "But hands up. I'm gonna end this war."

 She smiled. I love her smile.

    We were in the part of the movie that they were dancing in the forest, when I realized we were holding our hands. She looked up to me. I smiled and she went back leaning on my shoulder.

  "Elyar, dinner's ready. Come on down here." My mother called.

   "Uhm. Yeah. I'll be down in a minute." I shouted back. I closed the book and put it on my study table.

  I went downstairs and saw a SURPRISE!!!
