CHAPTER FOUR

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 2

8:30pm

Just got back from dinner at grandma's, and she finally returned my journal to me I thought she read it but she didn't. All of my efforts to get out of having to go - even my pointing out that I am currently suffering from a perforated tongue — were in vain.

I could be bleeding out of my eyes and Grandma would still expect me to show up for Sunday dinner.

And this one was even worse than usual. That's because Grandma wanted to over my itinerary for the trip to Genova which, by the way, looks like this;

Nervous? Me? About going on TV and promising 50,000 people that I won't let their country down?

Nah. Not me.

I just want to throw up every time I think about it, that's all.

Whatever. I so have nothing to look forward to. NOTHING. My friends think that my trip to Genovia is like going to Disneyland, but still. You'd think they'd have scheduled some fun time.

But apparently, there is no time for fun in Genovia.

As if going over my itinerary wasn't bad enough. I also had to spend my dinner at grandma's being nice to my cousin Sebastian. Sebastian Davies Is my dead grandfather's sister's daughter's kid.

Which I guess actually makes him a cousin a couple times removed.

But not removed enough that, if it weren't for me, he would be inheriting the throne to Genova.

Seriously if my dad had died just leaving his little girl lexy, Sebastian would have taken control of the throne of Genova. He would have been the next prince of Genova.

Sebastian is loved by grandma sometimes it weird because I always suppose grandma was incapable of loving anyone. Grandma is so scary even the king of Genova fears her.

Grandma and Sebastian always chat weirdly and make naughty comment about the films I watch. I told dad about Noah that I would love to get married to him, dad was worried at first and I also told him about Micheal but I don't think he likes Michael that much but from the basic things I told dad about Noah he think he likes him as much as I do , and I told him about Trudy the head cheerleader how she clings to Noah every time.
