My friends arranged asurprise going away party for me. But, they told my sister and she told me.My friends were so mad. My sister never could keep a secret. The goodthing about moving to New York is that we lived there till I was nine. I can’twait to see my friends. I have to go. My mom says I have to help her pack the kitchen.RileyLater that dayDear Diary,When I got home from the party my sister was done packing her roomand had started on mine.

They are blue green and red plaidskirts. The shirts and sweaters are also blue. The boy’s slacks are khaki.RileyDecember 22, 2001Dear Diary,I haven’t been writing to you in a while because my dad was in areally bad car accident. He has to stay in the hospital for a week or so.
