Christmas is over but it still doesn't feel like it's the end of the year. It didn't even feel like we were having a Christmas dinner last night. It seemed more like a normal family gathering. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's because this year simply went by too fast. Maybe too much happened. Anyhow, a new year is drawing closer and I will try to spend the rest of 2010 with a smile.

Just finished watching Hana Kimi. It is sooooooooooo funny. It's so annoying how my computer blocks the videos. I had to search everywhere to find episode 11. In the end, I had to watch different parts of it on different websites. Oh, Kagurazaka is so hot. Is it because he's an Eurasian? And Sano and Nakatsu are so cute. Especially when they're competing for Mizuki's love. And there's the part where they had the "90 stages show down" -- that was epic! Oh yeah, laughed so hard when they had a maid cafe and Sano ended up being Kagurazaka's 'maid'. Personally, I thought the ending was a bit boring. It was sad, but very plain. They should make a second season to continue the story. But then that might ruin the first one. So on second thought, just the first season would do.

Her Story #2
Last year is over and a new year is finally here. A fresh new beginning with a new class. New people to meet. New friends. Everything is going to be completely different this year, I think. The train curves into Granville and opens its doors.
"Good morning, Sam! How was your holidays?" a girl with painful sunburn chimes.
"Alright," I tell her with a smile. "Someone obviously spent too much time in the sun." Melissa gives a glare and dances to the center of the carraige, then says with a look of excitement, "Ready for another year of high school drama?"
"Sure. Totally up for that," I say with a roll of my eyes.
"O, come on. This year is going to be completely different. We're going to have so much more fun!"
"Sure hope so."
"Trust me, it will be. We get to have more excursions, pick sports and even get to join clubs. There's also the swimming and athletics carnival to look forward to. And then, later in the year, we get to pick our electives for next year. Oh, not to mention the trip to Jamberoo at the end of the year."
"Okay, you win," I laugh. Melissa punches her fist in the air and lets out a satisfying
Yes! "I wonder if we'll be in the same class again." I shrug. For the next ten minutes, Mel recounts her holiday adventure in New Zealand. "...but it seriously scarred me for life!" she concludes. "Sounds like fun," I tease as Jenny, Lina and Vicky board the train.
"What sounds like fun?" Lina asks with a grin and a wink.
"It's not what she thinks, right?" Jen laughs as she directs her question at Mel. While the main character retells her story, I lose myself in the warmth of the Summer sky, and can't help wondering who'll be in my class this year.

T. I'm in class 8
T this year. So, I'm in the same class as Jenny, Alice and Catherine. I run my index finger down the list of my classmates and read the unfamiliar names of my 'family' for this year. A name catches my attention.
"Ugh, stupid key. I'm gunna be late for sure," I muttered to myself as I gave my locker key a hard yank. No good. "What should I do?" I stood there looking at my locker and began to panic. A hand suddenly reached out from behind me and rested on my locker, slightly surprising me. When I turned around to face whoever it was, a boy I had never met leaned in closer. I shuffled backwards until my back was against my locker. I blinked. He smiled and spoke in a low voice, "Need help with that?" I nodded as he straighten up and signaled for me to get out of the way. He stepped back, took a breath, gave my locker a solid kick, and pulled out the key. "Thanks," I murmured."No problem."We stood there for a moment, until I suddenly realised that I was late for class! I quickly gathered my stuff, thanked the guy again and left.So we're in the same class this year, I think. Remembering how embarrassing it was, I smile. "Samantha, what are you smiling at?" Vicky frowns. I snap out of my thoughts and reply too quickly, "Nothing."
"So you just randomly smiled at nothing?"
"Yeah."
"Fine, be like that." She sticks her tongue out and we skip back to the others to find out what class they're in. Melissa tells me that her and Wendy are in the same class, and I find out that Lina, Kara, Vicky and Elenor are all in 8F. I'm starting to think that this year really won't be that bad. Caught in the discussion of class placements, the bell rings too soon. "Time to go to class!" Melissa sings a overexcitedly. We all grab our bags and head to our first lesson of the year, Maths. Jen and I slowly walk to our designated classroom and when we reach our class, Alice and Catherine are aready seated. I follow Jenny inside, and look around the room to take in the new surroundings. Then, I see him. Alex Li.
