Dear Diary, I'm so scared! The BIG test is TODAY! At exactly 7:30 am! That's 2 hours away! i know i studied hard but what if I get in trouble like last time? What if Tommy Huggins makes me cheat again? I remember that moment so well. He showed me all the answers and he kept on saying, "come one, all of these are right!" I'm scared I'll fall into his deadly trap again! On top of that, mom and dad want me to get an award!I love math but..but - oh! What can i do diary?! What? Tell me NOW!

Boy, Mia! You wake up so early! I was having my beauty sleep! Anyway, be confident! I saw you studying hard. I'm sure you'll make it! If you're scared that you night cheat again, aske Ms. Grayers if you can move your chair up front so noone can bother you. I'm sure you'll get that award. If you don't I'm sure,they'll understand. There's always a next time!Math is your best subject, remember? do well!
