Jamie the Diary

[Rowena Selby]

Dear Diary,

Um, hey. I hate these things but Lee bought me one. He says if I can't open up to people then I should make do with a book. I suppose he's right really, I just think that people are judging me all the time and thats horrible. Like being on display. And it is easier to take to a peice of paper. Paper doesn't judge you... at least as far as I know! :/

Anyway, the Halloween ball thingy is coming up soon. OMG am I scared or what?! A whole room full of people staring at your costume, judging how much effort you put in, seeing how good it is. Yuch! Halloween ball = My idea of hell. So I have a plan! I figure if I wear something totally unradical then no one will spend much time looking at me and they wont talk to me and i wont get nervous and say stupid things. I hate that.

But... oh poo, this is gunna sound really lame. But you're a diary so I suppose it doesn't matter... well, I kinda hope that despite the minimum effort put into the costume, someone might notice me anyway. Maybe ask me to dance? But I know how unlikely that is so...

Anyway, I'm not really looking forward to it but if I don't go, I'll only draw more attention to myself than if I do and just stand quietly in the corner. I wish I wasn't so shy, make life very difficult sometimes and make a love life impossible. Not that anyone in their right mind would date me anyway! I'd sooner date a slug!

Oh well I suppose I have to go. Potions next. At least there are some things I'm good at! :]

Bye Diary!
no wait, that sound stupid, I have to give you a name, Diary!
You shall be called... er... Jamie. Jamie the Diary!

Bye Jamie!!

To my Ami,

So, guess who's surpurbly wonderful big cousin's got himself in some trouble!

how did you know!?

So, Halloween Ball, I end up kissin a teacher which, before you lecture me, I fully intend to follow through. She's totally diggin me and she'd hot so I'm not complaining! I won't tell you which teacher it is though! But anyway, if you'll believe it, this is the background story!

So I'm out walking in the grounds at, like midnight but that's not important Ami! yeah anyway so I come across this girl (again with the no names but I'll let you know she's a Slytherin) and we start talking and I'm not even flirting, I know! reality check right! but we just talked for ages and I really totally like her.

Like I never even felt this way about a girl before. And I've felt a lot of things towards girls! But I don't think anything's gunna happen, I get the feeling that the feeling isn't mutual! Express lane, friend zone! But I figure if nothing's gunna happen then nothing's gunna stop me with that teacher!

But yeah, I need to tell you this stuff cos I don't have a conscience and you are my stand in!

Anyway, love you more than any other right!

Your Lee

Dear Jamie,

I just got this letter from Lee.

I believe I have the very *friendly* persontiest cousin in the whole world!
Anyway, I figure what can I do about it, other than try to hunt out the teacher and girl. I have my suspicions about teacher though... but no telling until I'm certain!

My life had ground to a hault. I feel like I'm sort of... floating. I can't complain of anything specific but there's nothing to write home about either... I guess Lee has it good in some respects!

Anyway, gotta do some Transfiguration homework

Dear Jamie,

Everything is looking up! Its amazing!

Sorry I haven't written to you in soo long! I've just been so busy with... everything!
Lee and Kadie (I know, it was Kadie, unbelievable!) are together and I'v never seen either of them so happy! I've sort of joined that group of friends now. Real friends! As in more than one person!! Now that Kadie and Lee are together so much I'm spending a lot of time with their friend (and mine too now i suppose! ) Jace. He's really nice, in my year, Lee's house. Its weird, I never really had a guy friend who wasn't Freddie or Lee... Not that I've seen much of Freddie lately

But on the up side it's Lee's party soon so maybe I'll see him there!

Anyway, gotta go, me and Kadie are going for a girlie night out at the pub!! I don't think Lee would have let me if I wasn't with his girlfriend but I'm just... so excited!!

Write soon!

Dear Jamie,

Hello Jamie, I kicked over my trunk today (by accident of course) and I found you at the bottom! What with summer holidays and all the drama I've forgotten to write in you. I am very sorry and will try harder in future :]

Kadie and Lee have split up. It's driving me crazy. I hate seeing Lee so down and I think he'll probably do something stupid and wrecklass soon. It wouldn't surprise me. Meanwhile, I haven't talked to Kadie in weeks, since it all kicked off. I'm still too angry with her and I know I should make the effort, for Jace's sake, but I'm worried about what I'll say to her. This drama is causing rifts between me and Jace and I hate that most.

Apparently we're dragging Lee along to see Kadie perform in the Three Broomsticks on Saturday night. They don't know about eachother being there and it could put me and Jace in the middle of an even bigger fight, but it's all we can think to do.

On the up side, school is going well. My grades are looking up now I'm putting in the extra bit of effort. Jenny, the healer, wrote to me again this week to wish me luck this year and everything. She thinks that if I try hard enough, I might be able to just do one or two years at the Uni, then go straight into St Mungos. That would be amazing!!!

I should go now. I promised I'd go and see Lee tonight.

Glad you're back Jamie!
