 12 am

Wow, I almost missed these times. But now I wonder if I should go home or not. I think I will. I can't just escape my problems like that. The interview is at 4 pm. I'll write when I get home. I hope there won't be a funeral for me the next day.

3 pm

Good news, no funeral. I honestly expected my mom to kill me or something like that, but she was actually happy to see me. I asked why she suddenly believed me about the time machine. She said that the workers put a camera on me somewhere and she could see what I did. And for my happiness, she was a bit mad that I disrespected Darius like that in the beginning. Honestly, I'm mad at myself for that too. Then, she told me this.

-Oh, I almost forgot! I made you some apple pie!

-Let me guess, is the batter too sticky or too dry?

-See for yourself, honey. If you want, you can take some for your little friends too. Your father also left some vodka here for Dimi- wait, what's his name again?

-It's Dimitry and yes, he'd love that!

-And how is the stuff going on with that boyfriend of yours?

-Well...About that. He also works for that liar girl, and he isn't my boyfriend! Yet. By the way, let me see that apple pie.

-Of course! And also, how kind were you to let a cute homeless girl in your house? I'm so proud of you!

-I know, my house is full of white-haired people now. And 1 brunette.

-Here's your apple pie, you can take it back.

-No, I will go back in like 2 days! That's what I told them. I mean my "little friends".

-Oh, then you can try it now.

-Alright.

I tried the pie and it surprisingly tasted really good.

-Alright? You never said that word before! Did the 1567 Britain get to you?

-I guess so. And this pie, it's so good!

-Don't tell anyone, but I couldn't bake one myself, so I got it from a bakery.

-It's fine, pie is pie. Oh, look at the time, I have to go.

Eee, I'm so excited! I'll write when I get home.

6 pm

OMG! I got accepted!! They said that I have to go to some summer school before the real thing starts. They pretty much told me that I was very smart and I could bring great honor to the school by getting enrolled. And they changed that policy where you didn't have to schedule an interview so yeah. That was it. I went to get gifts for my friends and here's what I got them. I got Darius a book and a broom. (I hope he doesn't get mad.) For Dimitry, a vodka bottle opener and a custom tag that says "life juice". And for Gregoria, I got a high-quality fountain pen and a painting with a horse on it. I know them so well. I also got some medieval gift-wrapping stuff so that it wouldn't be suspicious. They will like it so much. Now, I'll tell my mom. But first, I gotta prepare for being squeezed :).

8 pm

Yup. I got 100% squeezed. She was so happy. And by the way, I'm totally flat now from all the squeezing. (not like I wasn't before, but okay.) I'm now reading and writing at the same time. How nice. Goodnight.

May 19th-10 am

I woke up and I immediately looked for Eira. I got so used to those things. When I went downstairs, Mom greeted me with some slightly burned waffles.

-Good morning. What happened to the waffles? The waffle maker usually tells you when it's done.

-I know but it looked so uncooked!

-Mom, it's supposed to look like that! You know what, it's fine.

I tried the burned waffles and they were actually so much better!

-Wait, this is so good! How did you make burned waffles taste so good?

-Magic, honey. By the way, when are you going to go to school?

-Well, they said I have to go to this summer school so my time is basically ruined.

I ate the waffles and I went back upstairs to do some gaming. I sadly got that habit from my stupid ex-boyfriend. Anyway, I think I'll go back this night. Who knows what they found out. Hopefully a lot. I have to go. My mom is asking me to come downstairs.

4 pm

Wow, I'm tired. First up, we baked, (it was too raw) then she took me to see what my school looks like. It looks so much better in real life. After that, we went to go get ice cream and we went shopping. She literally spoiled me with stuff knowing I'll leave tonight. And she got me so much gaming stuff! We also got school supplies for summer school. I think it's too early, but we were there so why not? Now, I'll wrap the gifts and then, get squeezed once again in full power, and leave. I'll write when I get back.

5:30 pm

I missed the smell of 1567. I missed my detective group. I missed everything, even though I only left for 2 days. Now, let's take my camera off. I don't want them to track me like that.

6 pm

This is bad. Bad. So basically, I was walking home, and Darius pulled me into his alleyway. He told me he doesn't have a lot of time until they find him. He said that some guards had broken into my house and tried to kidnap him, but he escaped through the back window (I have no idea how he found it). Anyway, I told him we have to do a café meeting right this second, so I gotta go.

7 pm

Alright, so I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. I had no other idea than to tell them that I came from the year 2023.

-Eh, what? So you have flying vodka bottles?

-Dimitry, this is serious. I have to get Darius to come with me to hide!

-Hide where?

-Dimitry, did you have too much vodka again? I have to get Darius to come with me to 2023, but he doesn't want to!

-Yes, I did have too much, I'm an alcoholic.

-Wait, wait, stop. So you were from the future all this time? So you know how all this will end, right?

-No, I don't, long story short, I need to hide Darius! Come on, please! If you come with me, you won't die!To be honest, I already knew what Darius and Gregoria would say to that.

-No! I'm already in danger! What would happen if they saw me?

-Okay, let's go tonight for the better.

Well, I'm glad that was over with.
