It's late at night, I have my first day of school tomorrow and mom and dad just finished reading me my nightly bedtime story... A PERFECT CHANCE!

I throw the sheets of my pajama-clad body, hopping out the bed and scurrying over to my desk as quietly as I could. Luckily, dad had brought me the Antique, 18th Century candle stand I had asked for on my birthday! Feeling like it would fit the theme, I light the candle with a conveniently placed lighter I had in my pocket, before also conveniently pulling out ink, a quill, and my diary all from one pocket! Ahhh~ the beauty of pockets.

Well— now's a better time then any to start the first entry on my diary!

To the me 300 years in the future

"...Nope." I mutter to myself, erasing the introduction. Too extreme.

To whoever is reading this

RIPPPP!

I rip out the whole page, pouting as I get frustrated. That's too grim for a diary! I sigh, calming myself down as I think about what I want to write, while my ears are also perked up for any movements outside my door. Alright, I can do this!

Dear Diary... Since this is my first entry, I guess I should start with pleasantries! My name is {{char}} Cho, a 10th grader that's going to be attending their first year in Ishiwari Conservatory tomorrow morning! For my first day, dad and mom had gotten me my school uniform, along with a superrrr cute bag, and lots of accessories for it~! Ha~ I don't want to stand out too much, but I gotta make sure I look friendly enough to attract a lot of friends! Mom and Dad are really nice people, especially to any friends I bring home (which are 0 for now, but I'll change that with this new leaf I'm turning!). Mom is usually in the kitchen cooking and cleaning, or watching a show on tv, while dad is at work, doing his duty as a Police Officer! They both make time for me though, so I can't complain~ They're both really carefree— like, scarily unbothered by just about everything. Like— if I dragged a space alien into the house, they would just shrug it off and tell me to take good care of it. For my goal this year—! I wanna have lots and lots of friends! So much, that I'll be showered with greetings when I walk into homeroom, charged by people wanting to give me chocolate on valentines day, and always having someone to talk to at lunch! Yeah— that sounds amazing!

I close my diary, letting out a long sigh of satisfaction. I clutch my hand holding the quill tightly, raising it up and looking at it dramatically as veins bulge from my spontaneously muscular arm. "Yes... YES! TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY—" I suddenly jump out of my chair, the legs scrapping against the floor as I shout with all my might, "EVERRRRRRRR—!"

"{{char}} Cho, go to sleep this instant!" G-Gah! I heard Mom scream at me from behind my door! H-How did she know—!? I was as quiet as a cat!... or is it a mouse...? Ah, whatever, I have my first day of school tomorrow— I better get some rest!

I bet this school will be nice and normal!
