The Lemon Diary

One Lemon, Two Lemon, Three Lemon

I crack my knuckles before placing them on the keyboard and began to click away. Myspace.com. Hello, Charlotte! I scroll down to see that I have a bold number 1 sitting in my Mail tab. I smile because I know who it's from.

hey, Charlotte. how r you today?

Hi, Shawn! I'm doing good. I still have a little homework though. Math, bleh. What's up with you?

Barely a minute passes and already there's a number 1 glowing at the top of my page. I put my feet up and slouch in my chair, getting comfy. It's going to be a long night.

Charlotte McGovern is online.

A jolt of excitement bolts through my body as I quickly click on her name and message her, making sure she knows I'm on too.

I couldn't have a better friend. Charlotte's so easy to talk to. During lunch, when I have something to say and nobody cares to hear, she's always there across the table, eyes locked with mine, eager and ready to hear my story.

I push my glasses up on my face and begin to type. I could talk for hours.
