My Diary

100 B.C

Hi my name is Athena but everyone calls me Rachel because they can not pronounce my name. I live in Egypt with my mom and my three step sisters Sara and Catherine and Jessica. We live in the country with my dad which is Zeus and my real sister Catalina. This is my spring break story about how I got my new dairy. Let me give you a hint. We are all gods and goddesses.

Dear Diary,
Today after school. My three sisters Sara, Catherine and Jessica were coming out of school. Then Sara jumped in front of me and said.

“Hey Rachel! Do you want to play a game with me and Catherine?”

“Sure what is it called?” I asked her.

“It is called Squish the Squid.” answered Catherine. “How do you play that game.” I asked.

“It is easy. Here hold this football and we tackle you. So here you and Jessica will hold the squid and we try to tackle you.” said Sara.

So they are play playing the squid game Rachel’s dad came to see what was wrong. He thought to himself what is every body looking at.

Then he walked up and he went to the front and he saw us playing the game. He also saw us getting hurt and then he yelled,

“What are you two doing with these two young ladies. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Beating up two 13 year old and how old are you now?”

“Seventeen years old.” And they both said crying.

All of the other kids stared at him and then they went to their houses. Then my older sister Catalina said,

“Are they all right?”

“Yes they are!” Said my dad.

Dear Dairy,

Today is Tuesday the first of January. It was a good day. Not much to talk about.

Dear diary,

Today is the second of January. Today was a bad day, because my two step sisters were being brats. They got whatever they wanted except for Catalina, Jessica and me. My dad is calling me for dinner. I got to go now.

This dinner is cold can anybody cook? Goodness gracious, Hey Rachel are you going to eat that all?” asked Sara.

“Yes, I am going to eat it. Why do you ask?” I replied.

There is a great silence and Sara, Catherine and my step-mom, Lucinda were looking at me weirdly. Then they said at the same time, Why don’t you give it to her. So I did. She ate it. They went up to their room and I went up to mine. Jessica, Catalina and I share a room together.

In the morning, Jessica and I went to the store and Catalina said, “You can’t go without me”

“Why can’t we? Isn’t it a free country? We could go where ever we want without you, “ mumbled Jessica.

“No you cannot, because I am the boss,” said Catalina.

By that time, Catherine and Sara were whining. They were whining about not getting to going to the market place and why the other three did. They came back to their house When they got there, Catalina instantly went up to her room.

“Rachel., it’s time for dinner. Hurry up and come down, “ said my father.

“Okay, Dad.”

Well, I guess I’ll write in you tomorrow. Bye.

Dear Diary;
Today was a very good day. Because I'm didn’t get pushed around. Like at 8:45 this morning. I was heading to school and Catalina there and she didn’t say a thing to me. At 12:55 I got out of class and one of my papers I got an A+.

At 7:00 p.m I got home and so it was a good bed. Because I have a good day well I mean a big day tomorrow. IT IS MY B-DAY!

“Rachel wake up and come down stairs. I have something for you.” my dad said yelling from the bottom of the stairs.

So I ran down stairs and all that I saw was my dad. He was with a small present and that was all that I saw.

Then he let me open the gift and it was a new diary. I was a so relieved and so I tried it out.

Dear new Diary,

Today was a good day. I woke up and I got a new diary, and a new friend. I played with the dog. Not much to talk about. Well Bye.

I felt different I didn’t fell like myself. I told Jessica that my name isn't Rachel. I told her my name is Cameo.

Today my little brother Lee was coming with my father Zeus. Lee was a Brat. Two days later my friend came over and his name was Bryan. And Lee would say.

“Rwachel has a boyfrwend! Rwachel has a boyfrwend.”

“Ignore him” I said. “He can be a brat sometimes.”

Then Bryan left and guess what I had to do. Yes I had to put him to bed. And like usual he was reading a book.

“Okay little boy time for bed.” I said. He replied no.

Then I said no more listening to and more music.

Then he went to bed. After I said that.

Then I listened to that music all day. It was getting annoying. So I yelled and said to turn it down. Then he did.

I had a bad day because I didn't have a lunch. There was nothing. Because everyone ate it all. Then my best friends Aphrodite, Ares, Hera and Apollo.

I said thank you and I ate it and I went home and everyone called me Cameo. Then on Monday I forgot to write in my diary.

Dear Diary,
Tuesday night
Today my Dad Zeus came home mad. He almost caught the evil monster. He was frustrated.

He said, “I almost caught him!”

Dad went to his room and slammed the door behind him.

I thought to myself, “I can’t stand this anymore. Please come down, Dad.” Well, I have to go to school now.

Dear Diary,
Today was a wonderful day. Not really much to write about. Oh yeah, my dad caught that monster.

Dear Diary,
Today is January 1, 123 B .C .

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I have been away on vacation. I’m now 23 years old. I have a family and I love them. I’m married, my husbands name is Brian. I also have three children. Their names are: Jenny, Tom, and Anna. I must go now, for my husband is calling me.

The End
