“I can’t do this anymore!!” Harry yelled at me. “It’s not my fault your always flirting with other girls!!” Angry tears ran down my cheeks. I had had a crush on Harry ever since I was younger. I had always thought that we would last forever. I thought we were soulmates, but I guess I was wrong. “Well it serves you right for being so clingy!!” Harry stomped the ground furiously. “I don’t get it! You were the one who asked me out first! Even if if I liked you, you took the first step!” I clenched me hand into fists. “I’m done!!” Harry furious ran out of the room slamming the door as he went. The moment he was out the room I my real emotions came over. I fell to my knees and cried until there were tears left. I slow,y got up barely able to walk. I then collapsed onto my bed. I cried and cried myself to sleep.
“May? Are you awake?” Rihanna my sisters voice woke me up. “I’m awake” I pulled the covers of my bed and opened my window curtains. The sun was shining brightly and I felt amazing. Wait…..suddenly I remembered last night. I fell to the flour tears ran down my face.
September 8th 2021
Dear Diary, Has anything been going on in your life? Mines been pretty boring, I haven’t seen friends in a long time. My friend Daisy hasn’t texted me in ages….that means somethings wrong. She’s probably mad at my for some stupid reason! It’s so frustrating all I ever do is be a good friend then she turns around after we’ve been getting along really well and ruins it!! And she says I’m doing mean stuff that I never did!! She also tells her mum and her mum banned me from coming to her house for a month!! That’s not normal! And of cause I didn’t tell my parents anything so they were like ‘why aren’t you going to Isla’s house? You usually go every weekend!’ That was so awkward I had to do ‘oh she’s busy…’ Anyway let’s hope she’s not mad this time! -Peal
September 10th Dear Diary, I still haven’t heard from Daisy, I’ve kind of given up…. And my other best friend is on holiday! She’s so lucky! It’s very rare that I go on holiday! Anyway she’s on holiday with her cousins so she’ll have to play with them. I’m stuck in my room writing diary entries and listening to music. I just wish I had a friend with me! I guess I could try Violet..? -Pearl

I shivered and pulled my jacket around me. The light on my phone showed the shadows of the trees. It was getting late. If we didn’t find somewhere to stay…. “Gretel, my phones dead” Hansel’s voice broke the silence. “Oh god! Mines on 5 percent!”I was trying to keep a calm face but inside I was freaking out. What would we do when mine died? Ugh we wouldn’t even be stuck in the woods if it weren’t for Hansel. He’s the one who had the stupid idea to go wandering around in the woods in the middle of the night. But why did I agree? My stupid crush hormones made me do so much stupid stuff! “Gretel, come on I can see a light!” Hansel’s face was lit up with the words. Maybe we wouldn’t die out here, I thought. Hansel grabbed my hand and we ran towards the light. We kept running and emerged into a clearing. A plain mud brick house with tinted windows was in front of us. I let go of Hansel’s hand and dashed towards the door. Just as I was about to knock on the door Hansel grabbed my hand. “Wait, don’t” he whispered. “What is it? Why?” I wanted to scream, all I wanted for to get inside somewhere! “I don’t know..something feels of..” Hansel eyes scanned the house. “Come on, it’ll be fine!” I started to drag him towards the door. “No!” Hansel yelled as I knocked on the door. It was to late. I heard footsteps coming towards the door. The door creaked open and an old women face came into view. I felt her eyes scan me and I squeezed Hansel’s hand tightly. “What do you want?” The women suddenly asked. Her voice sent chills down my spine. I tried to speak but my voice caught in my throat. Hansel came to my rescue. “We….Um.. we got lost” his voice was barely tangible. “Well then why don’t you come on in. Are you hungry? You can stay the night.” Me and Hansel shared a look. It’ll be fine he’s eyes seemed to tell me. We followed the lady inside. “My name is Josephine” Josephine said. “I’m…..” Hansel nudged me, “I’m Jeremy.” “And I’m Annie”. “Welcome to my house children!” I eyed her house. It reminded me of a haunted house from some Halloween movie. I noticed that there were cobwebs everywhere. The floorboards creaked wherever I stepped. “Come sit down, I’ll make some tea” Josephine guided us to the table. Me and Hansel sat down quietly and looked around. “Here” Josephine handed us out tea. All of a sudden I heard cause outside the house, police sirens blared around us. Po,I’ve barged through the door and yell, “Hands up!!” A police officer pointed a gun at Josephine. “Kids! Get over here!” Another policeman assured us outside. Standing outside was my mum and Hansel’s dad. “Gretel! Your here!!” Tears spilled down both of our cheeks. “I missed you mum” my voice sounded choked. I fell into mums arms crying. “Come on sweetie, let’s go home.” In the corner of my eye I saw Hansel and his dad hugging. They walked towards their car and drove away. Me and mum drove home laughing and sharing time together.”I love you mum” I squeezed mums hand, “I love you too Gretie”
Looking around all she could see was crowds and crowds of people screaming and running. “What’s happening?!” She tried calling to a bunch of teenagers. The only thing they said was, “Run!”. “But why?” All of a sudden and lady grabbed her hand and started pulling her. “Stop! What are you doing? Let me go!” She tried to pull herself away but the woman was to strong. “Explain what’s going on!” Finally the women said something. “Just trust me ok?” “Why should I?! I don’t know you!” Now they were both running, speeding across the ground. “Because….the women,”the woman said,”I’m your mother.”
A loud voice came over the speakers. “I request Jade Foster to my office” Mrs Evens’ voice blared inside my head. Groaning I pulled my earphones out and shoved them into my pocket, why did this always happen? Getting up from my comfy spot in the library I pulled on my boots, what? It’s more comfy to have your shoes off when you relaxing. Grabbing my bag I started to walk, as usual all heads turned to stare at me. I seriously don’t know why they think I’m so lucky being royalty. Gosh if they only knew how much work it was. “What?” I called at a bunch of second years. “I’m not that cool”. Well maybe I was lying about that, I am pretty cool. Finally after what felt like forever I emerged into the corridor in which Mrs Evans’ office was in. Like always she heard my footsteps and call me in, “ Jade, come in”. Turning the door handle I heard a voice which didn’t belong to Mrs Evens. It was a girls voice, one i didn’t recognise. “Jade, I’d like you to meet Daisy, she’s a new student who just transferred here. Oh god what does Mrs Evens what with me now. Oh well I get it’s better than being in trouble right? Honestly I don’t care but my mum does, she’s obsessed with my grades and my future, good grades make everyone happier, she always says. “Hi!” Daisy’s voice broke me out of my trance. “Hi..” I replied in a non caring voice. “Jade…..” Mrs Evens’ put on a warning tone. “Right gosh sorry, Hi” I said trying had not to sound sarcastic while I said it. “Anyway, why i called you here Jade, is because I think you’d like to show Daisy around right?” She gave me a warning look, almost daring me to say no. “Ha! Sure… sounds like fun! We’ll have a ball” “Thankyou Jade” Mrs Evens’ voice almost seemed thrilled..
Hi I’m Daisy, I’m transferring into a new school today! I’m super excited!
“Daisy! Breakfast is ready!” Mums voice jolted me as I run downstairs.
“Oooh yum! Croissants!” My mouth was already watering with the look of it.
After breakfast mum made sure I had everything I needed.
“Come on, we need to leave”.
When we arrived at school I was suddenly overcome with nerves.
“ it’ll be ok sweetie” mum gave me an encouraging smile.”I’ll see you at the end of the day”.
“Bye mum, love you.” When I have her a hug I wanted it to last forever.
There, now I’m in the principals’s office meeting Jade Foster.
Hi I’m Alana and I live in Japan. I’m 16 and I have a sister named Lucy, who’s 12. We lost our parents when I was 8, so I have to look after us both. What happened to our parents? Even we don’t know, everyone told us they died in a car crash….but I’m not sure. I try to stay positive but sometimes it’s hard. I’m in my senior year of high school, so I have to work really hard. As well as working at the supermarket, so I can provide food and cloths for us. With live in a tiny hut outside of town, it’s cold but not freezing. I hate having to stay calm and collected for Lucy, sometimes I wish I could lock myself up in a room and cry for days… But I can’t I have Lucy. I’m trying to save some money so we can get a better house, it’s always been our dream to have a big house, but I don’t think it’s possible. Halloween is coming up and I real,y want to get Lucy a costume, maybe we could even go Trick or treating? But Halloween is in 3 days and I still don’t have enough. Sorry Lucy, maybe next year..?
3 days later. It’s Halloween and I didn’t get Lucy and costume. I was about to break down in tears when I saw her hopeful face. I have telling her we don’t have enough money, I know she’s twelve but still. I told her I have to go for a walk and that I’d be back soon.
It’s getting dark and I’m lost in the woods….. I’m terrified but trying to stay calm. I’ve been walking around for what feels like hours. It’s probably about midnight…I don’t know. Wait…, I can see a house in the distant…. It’s a dark wooden two story house. The glass in the windows had been broken, probably some teen vandalism. I’m trembling… My feet are barely moving… deep breaths keep walking, nothing will be there. I’m about 3 feet from the steps leading up to the house now. Creeeeeeeeeekkkk The steps are creaky. Should I knock on the door? There’s no way someone would be in there….right? Knock knock…. “Who’s there?” And soft whispery voice answers my knock “ just a harmless girl…..” “Hmmm come in…..” I’m scared to death…. It couldn’t be the….no it’s probably some Halloween prank. But…. The whispery voice… the house in the woods. It was all signs of the Dark Wizard.. But that’s some old myth right? The Dark Wizard was a hollow sound with no nose and a skull head. He always carried a black umbrella and had a blue butterfly brooch pinned on his black coat. His skin was slightly tinted with green…. No absolutely not! Alana run! Get away from this place! Now! I run so fast I thought I would fall over, but somehow I didn’t. I was barely looking wheee I ran but eventually I emerged outside the forest. But I didn’t stop running, I didn’t stop unto I got back to my house. I burst into the living room where Lucy was finishing homework, “What’s wro—!” I grasped her in a hung so hard I nearly broke her bones. “Sis, what’s wrong?” Her voice was shaking. “Nothing…..it’s all ok, I just love you is all” “I love you too…? I love you.” I made a promise then to never let Lucy out of my sight. I could have what happened to me happen to her. She was to precious. My little Lu Lu
“I’m so excited to see sis, I feel like it’s been years!” Said April excitedly “Well it’s actually only been 5 months. But yeah I totally get it!” Said April’s best friend Autumn Fifteen minutes later April was waiting at her front gate “Come on come on!” All of a sudden from behind her a voice called, “ April! It’s me, Sicily!!” “Sis!” Both of them ran into each other’s arms, sobbing tears of joy. “ I missed you so much little sis” said Sicily “Me to!” Replied April
