I raised a brow. Here we go again, Adam was always complaining about the clothes I wear. Whether it's too short or too tight, he acts like an overprotective brother.
“I know, but it's not that short,” I stated and showed him the dress. “See?”
He shrugged and scratched the back of his neck. “Um...I'll just go. Call me if you need anything,” he said and walked out of my room. I shrugged and sat on my bed while admiring the dress.
The party was going to start at seven, and it was still three, so I had plenty of time to get ready. I decided to lie down on my bed and relax my eyes a bit before getting ready.

I snapped my eyes open when I felt someone shaking my arms.
“Tiana, wake up.”
I looked up at the person and saw my mom standing above me with her arms crossed over her chest. “Mom? Is there something wrong?” I asked.
“Yes, there is. You have about an hour to get ready,” she stated. My eyes widened, and I turned to the clock and saw it was almost six.
I looked up at her then got up from my bed. “It's okay, Mom. I'll get ready before the party starts.”
She smiled at me and nodded before turning around but stopped and looked at me. “Just don't be late.”
With that, she walked out, and I rushed to the bathroom and took a quick shower before wrapping the towel around me and drying my hair. I applied a little makeup and let my hair loose.
After that, I grabbed the dress, wore it, and looked at myself in the mirror, smiling. I looked good.
I looked at the clock and saw I still had ten minutes left, so I got out of my room and walked to Adam's room. I entered without knocking and saw Adam putting his shirt on. I wasn't embarrassed nor did I think much about it because Adam and I have known each other since we were babies, so I've seen him naked before and the other way around.
Once he was done, he looked at me and smiled. “Well, don't you look beautiful,” he said, and I only chuckled at him.
“You look good too.”
“Good? I look sexy,” he stated, and I laughed.
“Sure you do.”
He gasped at me. “For your information. Girls die to have a piece of my body,” he said.
I rolled my eyes and sat on his bed.
He came up to me and sat next to me. “Well, thank you for the compliment,” he said sarcastically.
I grinned and bumped my side into his.
He laughed while looking at me. “I meant it when I said you look beautiful,” he said seriously.
I smiled at him and nodded my head. “I know. Thanks.” I got up from the bed and walked towards the door but not before turning around and looking at Adam. “Let's go before my mom gets us herself.”
He smiled and nodded. We walked out of his room and made our way downstairs. There were food and drinks everywhere. The lights were off, but there were colorful lights everywhere, and it gave the room a party feeling. Lots of teenagers were dancing to the music and eating food. I smiled and made my way to Mom and Dad and hugged them tightly.
“Thank you,” I said, and Adam came up from behind me and said the same thing.
“Yes thank you, it's wonderful.”
“Oh, it's no problem. Besides the pack needed a break and have some fun,” my mom said. We nodded our heads, and I kissed both my mom and dad on the cheek.
“Have fun,” my dad yelled through the music as we walked towards the dance floor.
“Let's dance.” Adam grabbed my hand and pulled me further to the dance floor. We danced for a while until we were tired. Then we decided to eat a couple snacks, so we went to the food section.
We were about to eat when my parents came running towards us, and all of a sudden, the music was turned off.
My face turned into confusion, and I had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen.
“Mom, Dad? What's wrong?” I asked. They both looked at each other's faces filled with fear.
And what they said next made my heart stop beating.
“We're under attack.”

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank some people who have encouraged me to write this book:
First, I have to thank Wattpad. Without their platform I would have never thought to put my stories out on the Internet. By taking a shot in the dark with this amazing website I was able to reach millions of viewers with my stories.
Second, I have to thank the literary agent, AJ Dane, who made this all possible.
Thirdly, I have to thank my editor Michelle Yañez who made my story what it is today.
Lastly, I have to thank the amazing publishing company BLVNP for this incredible opportunity.
I also have to thank my family, especially my mom, who has always encouraged me to follow my dreams and pursue my passions.
However, I owe the greatest debt to my Wattpad fans to whom this book is dedicated. Through their encouraging comments and messages I was able to complete this book.
Author’s Note
Hey there!
Thank you so much for reading Dear Diary, I Have A Mate! I can’t express how grateful I am for reading something that was once just a thought inside my head.
As far as I can remember I have always wanted to have a published novel. Getting my work published is one of my greatest achievements as a writer. It is an indescribable feeling to finally have this story finalized. It is quite mindboggling to know that an infinite number of viewers will be able to read my words. I only hope that this book can help people find their voice. I hope that Aria’s story will be an inspiration for my readers to never be afraid to speak up and stand up for what they believe is right.
I’d love to hear from you! Please feel free to email me at [email protected] and sign up at abbie-lynn.awesomeauthors.org for freebies!
One last thing: I’d love to hear your thoughts on the book. Please leave a review on Amazon or Goodreads because I just love reading your comments and getting to know YOU!
Whether that review is good or bad, I’d still love to hear it!
Can’t wait to hear from you!
