Summer...

    "Summer..." Mr. Willis exclaimed. Kids tapped their feet in anticipation and one even drooled! "You see summer just isn't beneficial for you children so the district has decided to get rid of it!" He bellowed. Some kids looked around warily and a couple girls screamed in protest. I put my head in my hands and began to cry softly. No summer? How could that be? I wailed loudly. Sofia! Sofia...hello?? Get up! Why are you crying? Shhh, no don't cry. Calm down. Huh? Who was calling my name?? I lifted my head and looked around and suddenly everything turned black...
     I woke up with a start and rubbed my eyes sleepily. Then I realized 5 pairs of eyes were staring at me. "Oh...Hi there! What do you guys what?" My friends stared back at me. "Okayyy then...Well I'm going to go take a shower," I explained slowly. I climbed out of my bed and scampered down the hallway. They sure are crazy, I thought, but then I paused; remembered my dream. That must have been it! They must have heard me and seen me bawling in my sleep! I shook my head. Unbelievable. I even miss summer in my dreams. I let out a little laugh then continued walking to the bathroom. I can't wait for summer!

A Message to Bella, Sophie, and Anyone Who Wants to Listen...

      Hey everyone! I wish I could see the looks of shock on your face when you realize I undeleted this blog and I'm even writing a new entry in here! Ok, let's put the dramatics aside. Yes, I know I haven't posted in 2 months, but like I said my heart was set on leaving this blog, deleting it, and forgetting it ever existed, but as you can probably tell that didn't work so well. I really did try to forget about this blog. To forget about Bella's blog because she got rid of it too, but that didn't work. Bella and I don't keep in touch. It seems like she dropped off the face of the earth. I haven't heard from her in months. Aleia hasn't even talked to Sophie in 3-4 months. Aleia has so much to tell Sophie and I have so much to tell Bella, but it seems like neither of us will ever get what we want; to feel like we mean something to someone. To feel like there's really someone out there that cares about us and doesn't desert us when life gets hard, but we understand that people get busy with school, family, and just life. So we have tried to forget about Sophie and Bells, but I know I could never forget about Bella and I know Aleia feels the same way about Sophie. (I will be blogging more soon!)
Adios,
Sofia
Hey guys! It's Aleia here and I just want to tell Sophie something:
   I know we all get busy and don't have much time to get on the computer or talk to internet friends, but Sophie, I thought we had something special. A true friendship. We vowed to never forget about each other and maybe even write a book together someday. I know I haven't forgotten about you, but have you forgotten about me? So if you're reading this Sophie I just want to say I understand that people get busy, but I really wished we talked because you're such an amazing and inspiring person that makes me feel like I mean something in the world. Like I have a purpose. Anyway, thank you Sophie for being the best friend anyone could ever have. I really miss talking to you. I won't forget about you...

Don't Forget Me...

  I dig my face into my fluffy pillow and begin to cry. Everything is falling apart. The person I love is across the country. My life is a mess and I can't seem to find a way to fix it. Everyday  I cry softly into my pillow when everyone else is asleep. At school I'm distant and I usually just stare out the window with a grimace on my face. No one ever bothers me. I've become a loner. I have no friends besides the ones I live with and even shopping and photography can't fill the hole in my heart. I used to think that my  visit to West Virginia was a good thing, but now I'm not so sure because I miss Bells even more knowing I can't see her everyday.
     It's time consuming to write on this blog and that brings me to my point. I have decided to stop writing in my blog. Not even writing fills my heart with joy. Aleia may start another blog, but who knows. Anyway, goodbye and good riddance.

     Don't forget me Bells.
    
        Adios,
Sofia Hope Martinez

Pillow Fight!

December 31st, 2010 (New Year's Eve) 11:50 p.m.-12:00a.m.


         "Sofia!!" Megan squealed. "Only ten minutes until Midnight!!!" I glanced up from screwing my camera onto the tripod to take our New Year 2011 picture and nodded at my best friend who was energetically bouncing on the sofa.
        "Calm down Megan!" Misty laughed tossing a pillow at the hyper blonde haired girl.
        "I just can't help it," Megan explained as she stopped jumping on the couch and sat down breathing hard. I giggled and sat down beside her having finished setting up my Canon.
         "You're so weird Megs!" I stated giving Megan a playful shove. She shoved me back. I grinned and grabbed one of the couch pillows and swatted her with it.
          "That does it!" Megan shouted as she snatched another pillow and threw it at me.Soon all of us were beating each other with pillows.
          "Oh gosh! There's only two minutes until midnight!" Nicki cried. So we all setttled down on the couch waiting for the countdown.
          "10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2... 1!!!" we all yelled in unison. "Happy New Year!!!"
           As I sat snuggled in my bed trying to fall asleep I realized that I hadn't made my New Year's resolution. "My resolution is to figure out a way to be able to see Bella more often," I whispered to myself. I miss you Bells.
