We Never Lose Friends, We Just Face Reality

Last night Juliet Sykes died but today she's alive again, now I have officially lived February 12th four times. While heading to school, I start noticing things I wouldn't before, like how bad friend Lindsay is and start arguing until she stops the car and drops me off in the middle of the highway. I reach school in fourth period and have Math class with Mr. Daimler, and make myself a mess. I disobey him, sit in his desk and flirt with him, and we even end up kissing!! 

And I leave for lunch but my friends have left me by myself; our lunch table is empty. But since I can't allow myself to be seen alone at lunch I head to the old bathroom in the science wing of the school. But in the bathroom I find myself talking to Anna Cartullo (someone that has THE lowest social status) and the odd thing is that I like her. She's funny and we even end up swapping shoes and sharing a cigarette. 

A few hours later school ends and I'm about to call Lindsay when I remember I'm in a fight with her, and I have nowhere to go. Luckily, a few girls I nickname The Pugs invite me to go shopping with them but first they take me home were I ''borrow'' my mother's credit card. At the mall I practically buy everything, from shoes, to a new dress, to a complete make up palette at MAC and more. Then we have a pre-party of five rounds of margaritas at a very expensive italian restaurant and go to the party. At Kent's house I'm drunk and lost, and the only thing I do is keep on drinking. Past midnight I find myself crying in a dark room and Kent McFuller comforting  me, we talk like we used to when we were kids, and he offers me to stay the night at one of his guest rooms kindly. But again the next morning is like a refreshed webpage, I have a clean slate to play over for next 24 hours.
 February 12th (fifth time) My friends are back, my boyfriend, and popularity too. That day I convince my mom to let me stay and so does my sister Izzy. 

I love Izzy, she's unique and brave, she dresses as she wants, she does what she wants and doesn't mind what others think. I really hope that stays with her forever. Talking to Izzy makes me remember my days before Lindsay ''rescued me''; back then I used to go to my favourite hideaway place, I called it Goose Point. Goose Point was a huge rock that a few miles from our house going thru the woods.

Today I take Izzy there, we talk and have real sister bonding. This place reminds me of my childhood back then it was isolated from the world but now many houses have been built and it isn't as distant from society anymore. It makes me realize sometimes things change and we can only learn to adapt.

Popularity is odd. In the book when Samantha is left in the parking lot after school and says, 
''It’s the weirdest thing. I’m popular-really popular- but I don’t have many friends. What’s even weirder is that it’s the first time I’ve noticed'' (Oliver, 225.) It makes me think there are three things people should know. First popularity doesn't mean happiness, second quality matters over quantity and third be open to everyone.

''But for some of us there is only today. And the truth is, you never really know'' (Oliver 268.)
This quote is so true, life is unknown. But that is part of the charm having to live in the moment, because if you live in the future you will live anxiously and for people who live in the past they live depressed.

This book is sad and depressing but it shows you how you are the one that chooses the path you take. Everyday Sam wakes up and gets the chance to experiment and take weird decisions that take her to so many different ends. It is like each moment has thousands of different scenarios. Even though Sam is dying she gets the chance to take risks and see her life in different ways.
