 Entry 2

Date: 3/9/2023

Yesterday nothing eerie happened. But today a LOT of creepy stuff happened and I'm really scared right now. So today Julia and I were at school and My gym shorts tore in the crotch area But when I went to go get my spare shorts I saw that the tear had disappeared and my shorts were fine. I got worried and told this to Julia who laughed at me and called me crazy. I got angry with her but said nothing. Then at lunch I was chatting with My best freind Derrick. I told him about the creepy stuff that had been happening and he told me that he was also experiencing similar things.

Suddenly he started coughing uncontrollably and I had to take him to the school nurse who said that she couldn't find the reason behind this sudden cough-attack. Eventually Derrick recovered and stopped coughing. He seemed to be unable to speak and tried to talk thorough hand movements but I didn't understand. Right now Derrick and I at his place. We are sitting in the garden and writing in our journals. Derrick had 2 more cough attacks like this today and I got one too. One hour ago I messaged my parents about this but they told me not to tell lies and leave them alone.

Both of Derrick's parents are out of town and he is alone at home. Being all alone scares him so my parents let me stay at his place till Derick's parents come back. They won't be back until next month so we have the whole house to ourselves. My parents would gladly let me stay at his house for even a year because they think I'm a big burden. I'm rarely in the house and I like to keep out of my parents' way. Im the oldest of 6 children and my mom is expecting 3 more soon (triplets). Derrick and I have been freinds since preschool. He is an only child and often gets lonely. He seldom talks to other people and he is very shy.

We are really good freinds and tell each other all our secrets, even the super embarrassing ones.

Derrick is really good at math while I'm a complete dunce at it. Derrick always helps me with my math homework. I love cooking and learn many dishes from cooking vidioes from the Internet . I always cook for both of us and I never eat at home. I have been staying at Derrick's house for 3 months now. I can't remember having ever slept in my own bedroom. I've always been at my freinds' houses. Yesterday my mom messaged me that my room had been turned into a nursery for the new baby triplets. I didn't have anything in that room except a bed and an empty wardrobe which had been removed to make space and the cribs and toys of the new triplets. All my clothes (I only have a tiny amount of clothes) and story books are in my suitcase while my schoolbooks and school supplies are in my school bag. My parents never gave me any toys but Derrick lets me play with his. I buy my own school supplies, clothes and books by doing part-time jobs and selling homemade cupcakes which I make every Friday. Sometimes Derrick shares his stuff with me. We sleep in the same room as Derrick is afraid of being alone at night. I have to stop writing now as I'm getting really sleepy. So bye for now and more next time.
