Later

I'm back. Joseph has just left Quanium to go visit his grandparents just about 5 minutes ago. I shall miss him dearly. It's the first summer that Joseph and I have been dating.

We were talking in the parlor when his mother came in to get him. I could see him blushing. He was obviously embarassed. "I shall call you soon, Your Highness," he had said. "Please, Joseph, call me Elizabeth now that we are dating," I said, my eyes watering as he left. He had a surprised look in his face saying, "But you never let anyone- not even your best friend- call Elizabeth." "You're different. I shall miss you, Joseph," I replied to him through my eyes. He nodded.

How did I meet Joseph? We have known each other since I came to Quanium to live in my father's new palace. When I first arrived at school, everyone greeted me. Then, I saw Joseph and thought he was weird. It wasn't until last year when Joseph and I started hanging out along with Christy and Isabel. Then, on the Friday, the day after Valentine's Day, Joseph and I were sitting on a rug waiting for our choir director to come take us over to the Church next-door. He asked who I liked in the class. I didn't want to sound silly so I said, "Before I tell you, do you like me?" "Don't tell anyone, but yes. I do." He said discreetly. "Good. Becuase I like you." I said quickly.

So it just happened. I'm going to stop writing for now.
