From Alice’s Diary:
22nd April 2014
Dear Diary,
My name is Alice, and I hope you still remember me… Yes, I know, I haven’t been writing for seven years now… But today, I feel a great need to share my experiences over the years. So many amazing things happened to me… I always knew that this year would be special for me, and I already felt it on the 1st January. Nothing happens without a reason. Each event is a consequence of the previous one. And that’s how I’m at this point in my life, not any other… Okay, you probably don’t understand anything, so I’ll start from the beginning…
It all started in the fifth grade. On the one hand, one stupid rumour ruined everything. I ended up with nothing… I was left alone. In the end, I closed myself up in a shell and stopped trusting people. I think it was the first time I heard that I was weird and different. I sincerely hated myself for it… I wanted to fit in… On the other hand, it was also a time when I discovered my musical passion. My first song was written, and a dream was born that lives in my heart to this day… So what? In the end, I finished primary school…
The first day in junior high school… It was a nightmare… I had never been so terribly afraid. Everything was new to me, and I felt so small and closed like in a prison… Already that day I met my current friend. Day after day passed, and she was still by my side. Nobody understands me as well as she does, even though we are total opposites… And in the end, this magical moment came, and I fell in love for the first time. Well, I have never been treated this badly by anyone. He was playing with my feelings all the time. But my friend helped me. I will be grateful my whole life for that… And he? I pretend he never lived. It was the biggest mistake of my life… What about my music? I started playing guitar, and more songs were written. Since the first song, I had a creative block… I remember my first solo performance. Magic… Besides, I discovered my new passion. Acting. It turned out that I am a great actress! My first performance was really something… It was also the time when I discovered Friends Dreamers. I loved the first episode, and I decided to continue watching it. This little episode had a significant impact on my further life, although I hadn’t known it yet…
Second class. Things started changing… I was writing lyrics and playing in plays all the time. And I was watching my beloved series! What would life be without crushes…? Well, my friend from the theater fell in love with me and… Well… I should’ve explained him at the very beginning that it had no future. I’m only interested in elder guys! I want a man, not a baby to raise! Apart from that, I started an English language course. In general, it was relatively quiet…
The last day of school… I felt that I would never be the same girl again. My feelings about the future came true… But let’s go back to the start. It was July. I saw the promo of my beloved series, and I was so happy! Something that I wanted to happen simply started happening! Justin and Alice fell in love with each other! After watching the first episode from the second season, I was looking forward to the next one. Later, I hit the Internet and started watching further episodes. English version. Amazingly, I literally understood everything! Then it was August, and I got addicted to the show and everything about it. And I was hoping for Jaura to be real as well! Then I found two Silver Trills songs that were on the album with the music from the show. After the first listening, I was so reluctant to listen to this band that it was a pity to talk… I got rid of these songs from the phone and what? I was humming them all day later! I changed my mind about the band, and I became more interested in their music… Already then something extremely changed in me! I was slowly returning to my old self. Confident and brave.
Third grade. Yes, now I’m in the last grade. I still write and now I act in a real theatre! And in June, there will be my show. Maybe let’s slow down… In September, the debut Silver Trills album with the same title was released, and I was surprised by its perfectness! I have always loved such music! Pop-Rock. World Championship! In December, I decided to write to Laura Brown. I really like her. I sent a message, and what did it give me? On the same day, she texted me back! I was so happy because finally something extremely good had started happening in my life… We talked for the entire day with each other, and it was so nice. Effect? Now she’s my friend, and I have constant contact with her! She told the rest of the cast and her sister about me. Later I found out about the band’s concert in Warsaw, so I had to go there! After all, I live in this city! And how did I spend New Year’s Eve? Writing with Laura! On the 1st of January, she was with the rest of the cast, and I wanted her to send them greetings from Poland. Effect? She wrote back that Joe thanked Poland very much! I decided Laura should convey birthday wishes to him (because 1st January is his birthday). He was overjoyed and offered me a phone call! And what did I say? I was so terrified that I suggested chat messages! I talked to him all day, and he literally demanded to talk face-to-face at the concert! I thought, why not… Then, here comes the concert day. I was so excited that I just wanted to jump with a parachute! Anyways… I went there with a friend I met on the Internet. All I can say is that she was talking about Joe all the time and I was thinking “Really? You too?”. Eventually, the band showed up. When I saw him (Joe) on stage, I thought, “Well! He’s much more handsome live than on the screen. ” And I answered my thoughts: “What?! Are you kidding me?!” Warning! Danger! The war of the brain and the heart!… At the very beginning, I noticed that he was insolently staring at me! At first, I thought it was my imagination or something… Then, I noticed the second gaze. Okay, it’s just a coincidence!… Third gaze. It doesn’t mean anything yet… And the next one, and the next… Okay! Now I can start to panic! The best thing was that he was hopelessly catching his shirt, his hair, he was knocking on the heart, he was smiling at me… I remember a situation when I caught him staring, so I did the same and I was wondering: “Who is he looking at…? Wait… At me!” and I couldn’t stand it and I just smiled so sincerely. About two seconds later he did the same as me! So, I was sure it was about me! After the concert, the time for signing autographs comes. I go to the band with the poster and what? No reaction! They didn’t even look at me! They were just talking about something among themselves! I didn’t want to eavesdrop… I walked over to Joe. He was staring at that poster as if he didn’t know what to do with it. Then he put the dot on the side as if he wanted to write something. Then he put his signature in the right place, but for a long time and he was doing it so precisely… He handed the carton back and looked at me in such a way that I was simply choked! He said two sentences, but only the end hit me: “Thanks for coming.” Woo hoo! Big words! Yes… Plus, his smile made me want to fall to the ground! I haven’t seen anything like this before! He made me terribly embarrassed!… What is the consequence of these events? I fell in love with him! I don’t understand how, why, what for, where?! Plus, Lau doesn’t want to talk to me! “Me, Laura, I have something against you.” Hopelessly beautiful! All I know is that he called her and said something about Warsaw. Well, she told me recently that Joe wants to talk to me, but he can’t… I don’t understand it… Well, what am I supposed to do now? I can’t tell anyone about it because they’ll think I’m crazy! Because imagine this situation: you have a friend, an American actress. You meet her friend at the concert, and you fall in love with each other at the first sight. Very realistic, isn’t it?
The best part is that I haven’t been myself for a long time. Now, I am who I have always wanted to be. The things that happened to me are so unbelievable, but they’re all true.
I really got lost…
