Well uh, I guess you should read it. Uhm time for the fun part: Disclaimers: I do not support this kind of life and not wish it on anyone of you. I don't condone what she does. If you have a problem take it up with me. I know where this story is going and if you say I'm copying from a book I will deny that statement.
How Celina looks:
I made a Title~
The diary of how I became famous:
Diary Entry 1 I don't understand why my mom gave me this stupid thing. Maybe she wants to hear some juicy gossip about the hip in the now world. Or maybe she just has no life... I guess its a midlife crisis. God help us. She was all like "Come down here Celina!" I ran down the stairs to be greeted by my smiling mother and a just down right odd looking book. "Mooom... I'm a little old for a journal. I'm 15 I have to live my life! Can't be seen with this." I whined with my thick Irish Accent. I'm not read headed. My father is. My mom has brown hair. Like me. Anyways she responded back with a smile "I acted the same way when I was your age." Then she went to watch Real House Wives Of Orange County. (Not really "Real" to me) So I guess she is right. I'm sitting her with this dumb thing wondering what I should do. My friend is going to get ice cream. I think I should go with her. As I part with you diary~ I think I should name you Ella.
Entry 2 It's so cold outside I think my ear could be chipped off... I don't want to walk home from the bus. My dang bus stop is like 2 blocks away and I'm only wearing a think sweater and leggings. X X X Oh my Godddd!! It was super cold. I think I need to be more careful as fall gets colder and colder. Then only thing I do like about the fall is probably the leaves. I saw this really red leaf... It's so pretty.
I hope the tape will keep the leaf in here.:

Crap. The leaf got some of the page wet...
Entry 3I want to do the talent show!! My friend asked me... I have pretty good grades so I think I can do it. We are thinking of auditioning. When your audition in the stage area there's only student console and teachers. So its not like we're going to humilate ourselves (yet) We went to do Royals by Lorde. I'm going to do the high notes. She will do the low parts. I have to meet her to practice.
Their practice. **Do not own this video:
Entry 4 I was walked home with Amanda. It takes forever to walk home. I'm cold.

I don't like it very much. No offense. But, here's a tip - write in a chatty, informal style. in diaries, you will unlikely find these symbols " ". Also, diary writing can be hard. There is no narrator, you write the story. But you can't be detailed. Another thing about diary writing is that you can add in comments or thoughts that you wouldn't dare say out loud. For example - Normal writing - Marie ran down the stairs lazily, carrying her book in her hand as she walked down step by step. "So, honey, did you like your birthday gift?" Her mother asked, curiously, with her eyes glowing innocently. "Not at all mom." Marie answered. She was clearly not in the mood. "Why the heck would she give me a diary? It's just a stupid book, all in blank." She thought to herself angrily. "Why not?" Her mother asked. She seemed to whimper like a puppy. Marie hated those puppy eyes. "Because it's a stupid book, alright?" Marie yelled as she stormed out of the room. Diary writing - Today I was walking down the stairs, early in the morning, before school. My mom asked me if I liked my birthday gift. Which in this case, is you. My stupid, dumb, useless diary. I said no. I was not in the mood. The opposite, in fact. I thought about my diary. A stupid book with 301 blank pages. My mom then asked me why I didn't like it. With those puppy eyes. I hate those innocent puppy eyes. I said it was a stupid book. I yelled it out as I ran out of the house.
You can see the difference. Imagine it was your own diary. You can't remember every single detail of the day. Many things happen, and near the end of the day you aren't able to remember all of them. Also, fix spelling, grammar and all of that stuff.

@Homura Thanks I'll try to keep writting it @Relora I'm learning about grammar in school now so I guess as the year goes on I'll fix some things @Primrose I'm trying to have the diary being wrote in as like a friend or something I havn't really got my point across with the story/
I will try to go in and fix mistakes as I go on. I do not have that high of a lexile (1000 I think) but anyways~ I'm not that good of a writter yet and I will Improve on as the story grows.

How Celina looks:
Story Updated Entry 3 in!!:
Diary Entry 1 I don't understand why my mom gave me this stupid thing. Maybe she wants to hear some juicy gossip about the hip in the now world. Or maybe she just has no life... I guess its a midlife crisis. God help us. She was all like "Come down here Celina!" I ran down the stairs to be greeted by my smiling mother and a just down right odd looking book. "Mooom...

Anyways she responded back with a smile "I acted the same way when I was your age." Then she went to watch Real House Wives Of Orange County. (Not really "Real" to me) So I guess she is right. I'm sitting her with this dumb thing wondering what I should do. My friend is going to get ice cream. I think I should go with her. As I part with you diary~ I think I should name you Ella.
Entry 2 It's so cold outside I think my ear could be chipped off... I don't want to walk home from the bus. My dang bus stop is like 2 blocks away and I'm only wearing a think sweater and leggings. X X X Oh my Godddd!! It was super cold. I think I need to be more careful as fall gets colder and colder. Then only thing I do like about the fall is probably the leaves. I saw this really red leaf... It's so pretty.
I hope the tape will keep the leaf in here.:

Crap. The leaf got some of the page wet...
Entry 3I want to do the talent show!! My friend asked me... I have pretty good grades so I think I can do it. We are thinking of auditioning. When your audition in the stage area there's only student conusol and teachers. So its not like we're going to humilate ourselves (yet) We went to do Royals by Lorde. I'm going to do the high notes. She will do the low parts. I have to meet her to practice.
There practice. **Do not own this video:
I'm noticing several spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes. I can fix them for you if you want, but I thought I'd ask before I edited something you made.
Would a person who really didn't want a diary write in it? I think not. In my opinion, Celina's comment to her mother sounded whiny and was uncalled for. I mean, she even named her diary. She shouldn't have complained that she didn't want it when she obviously does.
Also, I should point out as a partially Irish person that most of us do not in fact have red hair. That's just a stereotype. The Scottish have a higher percentage of gingers.
I think the story idea is cute, but I'd say it needs a bit of work. 4/10 in total.

I point out its still my first story and I'm fixing the bugs and I know about some grammar errors that I'm going to go in and try to fix. Also with the diary part. She doesn't have anything better to do. I can name a couple of books where they don't have a lot better to do than write in the diary. I will name these titles: Lucy in the sky, Go ask Alice, The whole Dork Diaries sereis

I understand, but can you make that clear in the story? If we knew that Celina was writing in the diary out of boredom, it wouldn't have sounded so much like she just lied to her mother to make her feel bad. Thanks for clearing it up, though.
