Topic: It’s the situation where every girl finds herself in sooner or later…I thought I liked this guy…and then I meet this other guy and its like WHOA…the problem is my best friend likes the new guy and to be fair she saw him first….what to do…and to think earlier this evening I was just worried about my performance. Date: 5th May, 2025 Dear Diary, My name is Aphrodite Hart; I am eighteen years old and living in good old Chicago, I Have spent most of my life in good old Chicago I moved here when I was five years old, before that I grew up in Seattle, Washington. I don’t really remember much about Seattle which is completely fine. Chicago is my home and I am extremely happy here. My mother’s name is Melinda and my father’s name is Nicola of course I call them mom and dad, I am an only child thankfully because having a sibling would probably drive me nuts. I have seen my friends with their siblings all they do is complain they never have anything nice to say about their siblings. I attend an all-girls’ private school called Resurrection high school. My parents wanted me to go to a catholic girl’s school. My parents think that keeping me in an all-girls school would prevent me from having sex and being in a private school will give me a better education Apart of me is sad that it’s my last year at the school before graduation, but then the other part remembers all the homework and essays and I thank god that it’s the last year. What can I tell you about my school well our motto is charity and truth and our school colors is red and white our school mascot is also Bandit the Raccoon….yeah see I know what you’re thinking and I totally agree with you…our mascot is named bandit see if you look it up in the dictionary you get Bandit – Noun 1. A robber, especially a member of a gang or marauding band 2. An outlaw or highwayman Yeah my parents made me read the dictionary when I was younger; I mean why have a cool PlayStation or Xbox have when you can have a book that can be used as a deadly weapon. Let’s see clubs I am apart of school well I am currently in the student council and Yoga club, I am doing prep work for college my father wants me to go to Yale, which I don’t want to go to. I want to pick my own college, but it’s not something I want to rush into I just want to take the time and find something that’s right. Some relief I have is my band, I am a part of a small band members are just my school friend Kara and neighbors William and Zane. So there is Kara she’s really incredible she is like this power house and she can hit notes you can’t even dream of, and then there is Zane he is pretty cool, he has wicked dreadlocks we are sort of dating, by sort of I mean we go out together a lot just the two of us hanging out and having fun together we haven’t kissed or anything, but here’s hoping it will happen soon. and then there is William, blond hair and a big mouth…no I am not being mean he really does have a big mouth…like a trout…uh he is my ex- boyfriend, we broke up a while ago. We are just way too different. He likes Pizza and I like honey chicken, but its ok I am just glad we still have our friendship. A lot of the time the four of us just hang in my garage, I have it tripped out to be like this little paradise it has a TV, fridge, a Karaoke machine and a couch, DVD player. My friends and I kind of geek out on Sundays watching lord of the rings or go through dvd marathons of our favorite show…today we watched Disney’s Mulan one of my favorite Disney movies I proudly have on DVD you know you got to love it, because it incorporates cross-dressing on more than one occasion and you know the best thing about the DVD is there is this special feature where you can see Jackie Chan sing be a man in his native language, granted I don’t know his language it’s still cool to see him sing it. So after we watched Mulan the group and I did a rehearsal for today, because we had this thing on tonight see one of my classmates was having her birthday and she hired my band to sing at her party…she’s extremely rich and believes her father can buy Ireland Her name is Emily she is a bit of a snob, but it’s not like she was a cow you know. She is just spoiled. Kara and I had got to the party early and caught up with some friends from school, they were talking about plans for after high school and of course I felt stupid because I can’t decide on what I want to do…I mean I had interest you know, like I animals I think their cute, of course I like dogs, cats and birds tigers and wolves too. Maybe I could be a vet…but I like singing too so maybe I could be a singer…I should decide soon, but I just don’t know…I would have asked my friends, but I don’t want them to think I’m a flake…and they already decided what they want to do with their lives. Zane wants to be a doctor, Kara wants to be a musician and I think she will go far…possibly the next Beyoncé or Whitney Huston…yeah I know I love the classical singers so sue me. As for trout mouth William, he wants to be a councilor. I was driving naturally, because neither of my friends have a car…I on the other hand have been saving up since I was a kid…I’m stingy that way. What can I tell you about my car well she is a ford station wagon, and she is blue…yes I have given her a gender although I have yet to pick out a name. I sat on the driver’s seat waiting for Zane to hurry up I swear that guy spends more time in front of the Mirror than I do. Kara was sitting in the front passenger side “so don’t forget we are picking up the new girl Jane and her older brother Blake.” Kara reminded me for the one millionth time…We had a new girl in our class, her name was Jane Napolitiano, she was like 12 years old, but she was super intelligent…freaky kind of intelligent she is actually in the same classes as me and intends on graduating this year she’s rather tiny with lank she has pale brown hair that is trimmed semi short and pale skin to match it, she has a slim appearance and she has the face of an angle…I think she must be sensitive to the light, because she always has on these thick black shades their like doctor prescribed…Jane is rather distant a lot of the time it’s like she is detached from everyone her voice is soft and emotionless and she is quiet…kind of creepy it’s just like you never know what’s going on in her mind and you can’t see her eyes because she rarely takes off the shades. According to one of my class mates in Spanish she saw Jane’s eyes and it was pitch black…I think she was just exaggerating. Jane also had an older brother Blake who went to the public high school I haven’t met him, but Kara tells me he is smoking hot…again it’s probably an exaggeration., but Kara was nice enough to invite Jane and her brother…just to be nice. Finally Zane had left his front door, and was looking sort of spiffy and dreamy he came to the car and hopped in. I watched him in the review mirror and our eyes met I could see him smile and “William is getting a lift from one of his friends so we are off to the Napoli’s right and then to the party.” He asked sounding anxious “It’s Napolitano’s Zane and yeah that’s the plan why” I asked curious witnessing Zane and Kara buckle up and double checking it, you know it’s funny whenever I drive they always double check the seatbelt…if I was paranoid I would think it’s because they think I’m a bad driver, but of course I am not paranoid and I am a fantastic driver. I drove down the busy streets of Chicago, while Kara navigated the direction to go with; Zane seemed to be praying… We finally arrived to the new place; it was kind of big like one of the Victorian mansions back in the old days. Before I could get out, the front door of the house opened and out walked Jane she wore a black top and jeans and her hair was hanging down, behind her must have been her brother Blake…he looked pretty cute, ok so he had brown hair and it was sort of long, and he wore jeans and a Cold Chisel T-shirt. He was also pale…I guess Italians don’t get much sunlight in Italy, he wore shades and remained behind Jane they both made their way to the car and climbed in, the moment Blake climbed in and sat beside Zane in the middle seat and Jane sat behind me. “hey guys buckle up” I spoke softly, it was strange for one moment I noticed Blake was looking at Jane as if he was asking her if they should do it. Jane had placed her seatbelt on and so did Blake. Blake removed his glasses and his eyes were black and I could see it in the review mirror. Taking a deep breath in, I looked right ahead and drove off towards the party. The traffic was horrific, and the skills of the drivers were appalling…the other drivers must be over thirty…as the laws of the land say never trust anyone over thirty. Of course Kara was yelling “slow down, slow down, slow down.” and Zane kept his eyes close like he was watching a scary movie. Jane was watching outside the window and Blake was trying to talk to me “Yeah hang on a moment I forgot to give a signal” I told him and rolled down the window sticking my arm out I let my middle finger fly instantly I could hear the car horns beep behind me in a vicious fury. “Aphrodite are you nuts what if one of those drivers is our teacher” Kara spoke. This made me laugh “ok Kara this is Chicago there is a bigger chance of Justin Beiber going through puberty than running into our teachers behind us…second of all even if it was one of our teachers I hope it’s Mrs Reeds…honestly what is the point of group assessments…in fact if it was Mrs reeds I would ask you to take the wheel while I lean out of the car and give her both fingers.” I spoke to Kara while putting my arm back in the car. I didn’t really have anything against Mrs reeds I just hated the fact when she gave us the assessment it was a normal solo assessment a week later she turns it into a group assessment…I was bummed out, because I already had my assessment planned out and everything. Don’t get me wrong I don’t hate Mrs Reeds I am just ticked off at how I have to work with others. Kara leaned over and turned on my car’s Cd player, she slipped in a Cd and I knew what song she was going to do…see when my friends aren’t pretending to be afraid of my driving there is only two other things we do in the car….vent about life and the frustrations we feel. The second thing is the grove song… I briefly looked at Kara than back to the road and we started together to sing together Play it loud. We sang together the two of us, of course I watched the road, and looked at the review mirror and I saw it…Blake and I were looking directly at each other and I felt something…this sensation, it’s like nothing I had ever felt before I felt this warm sensation it was incredible it was like a fire was inside me and I saw this smile on his face…dark, seductive and as I focused on his eyes I felt a little light headed…in that instant I just wanted one thing….Blake. a gasp had escaped from my lips, I was only lucky we had arrived at the place Emily hired out, because I stomped on the breaks making a screeching sound, Kara and Zane yelled out while I heard nothing from Jane or Blake. I parked the car and Kara was the first to jump out “oh thank god we made it here in one piece” Zane had followed by climbing out “yeah can you imagine dying a virgin….that would suck.” They were both my friends…my best friends and they didn’t even notice there was something wrong with me. I rested my head on the steering wheel as they both went off. It was only a few moments later I heard the slamming of the car door and when I looked up Blake and Jane were walking side by side together, Blake continued to walk and looked over his shoulder I saw him look at directly at me again and watched him this time I didn’t feel anything, but there was something about him…I didn’t know what it was exactly, but I know he is different. After taking in a few breaths of air I allowed myself to get out of the car and locked my baby. She was a pretty little thing. The party was pretty good it made me forget all about the car incident and Blake, my band was great we sang for the party, but we did a number for a friend of Kara’s…after we finished Emily just had some mix Cd playing, Kara and I sat together at one of the tables and we spoke as Blake came into view from across the room. “Damn that boy is FINE...any moment he is going to come to me and ask me to dance, I’ll play it cool and then I will graciously accept it…from then on no way he can resist my lady charms.” She spoke so confidently. I had always admired Kara’s confidence. she knew what she wanted and she went for it, she believed in herself with her entire heart and soul…me I doubted myself, I mean I can play tough when I need to, but I am just not strong enough to walk the walk, I had watched Blake with curiosity as he stood on the other side of the room, one of the few questions in my mind was simple and easy to phrase. What the hell was that moment back in the car? Blake was talking to Jane for a moment and then he looked at Kara and I he smiled at us, as he turned from Jane and walked towards us….well walking is not really accurate it’s more like he glided as he came towards us with grace and confidence like he was a lion on the prowl for a lamb. “see I knew he would come” Kara spoke just loud enough for me to here, and he did he stopped out our table shortly after and looked at us both and then to me he held out his hand to me “Aphrodite…may I have this dance with you” he asked softly his voice was velvet and alluring, at that moment more than anything I wanted to say yes, but how could I….I knew Kara liked this guy, looking at her I could see the that look in her eyes…it was disappointment and hurt. Blake had made a fake coughing sound which made me refocus my gaze onto him, he had such a devilish smile, it was so seductive and his hand was out for me…my hand touched the top of his I felt this chill…his skin was ice cold and as I looked into his eyes and felt a tug in my arm as he pulled me up into his chest he I could smell this weird aftershave so sweet and pleasing. I had distanced myself as we walked to the dance floor and not once did I dare to look at Kara, because I knew what I was doing was wrong…but still I couldn’t help it. Blake was quite the dancer. The way he moved he had spun me around and when he did I could see Kara watching us, and amazingly enough Jane was sitting in my seat watching, her mouth was moving and I was wondering what she was telling Kara Blake pulled me back in and had me close to his chest, the entire time his body was cold as ice “So Aphrodite” he spoke softly, which made me look up at him “It’s not every day you meet a Roman Catholic girl named after the Greek Goddess of love” he sounded so casual and full of confidence “my parents aren’t really die hard roman Catholics…they just want me to have a good education…but if you really must know, my parents told me how they came up with my name…the moment they saw me they fell in love with me they swore I was the very embodiment of love so what better name than the legendary Aphrodite…personally I would have liked Veronica….or Lucy I would have made an awesome Lucy” I answered, Blake chuckled “I think your fine just the way you are.” He spoke and held me close, It was at that moment I realized how charming Blake was, I decided to deflect his complement with a question of my own “so what’s it like having a super genius for a sister” he looked at me and frowned “it’s like having a pit-bull that could chew off your limb at any moment” the comment had made me giggle, Jane did seem a bit scary/creepy, but I didn’t really understand why Blake would fear her, he is after all eighteen right and she’s what I dunno twelve. The song had ended and I looked at Kara she was still pissed and she spent the entire night avoiding me and even going as far as to sleep over Emily’s place. I am worried Diary…I know I hurt Kara’s feelings, but I didn’t mean to I just couldn’t help it I had to know more about Blake and the truth is I still wanted to know more about him…really I did, there is just something different about him…he is ice cold and his skin is hard…he is extremely pale and there was something about that moment in the car…I have to find a way to make it up to Kara as well as let me find out more about Blake…Anyway I am going to try texting Kara. ~Aphrodite Hey guys it’s martin here I hope you enjoyed the very first entry of Aphrodite’s diary.
