“I told you moving here was a bad idea”, Ariana whined as she trudged through the hallways of their new house.
“It’s not that bad, it might have dirty walls, and imperfect furniture, but these are minor errors; by the end of the day I promise it would be like our old house. We didn’t move here because we wanted to, your sister, Shania has passed away and you wouldn’t want to stay in the memory of your sweet” – WHOOP!
“Mom, are you ok?” The family cried.
Mom got up, and the Mantoni family were onto unpacking their luggage.
“Wow, it’s creepy up here. I think this is the attic; it’s so dusty, old, eerie, and nothing like our old house!” While Ariana was unpacking her suit cases, she fell upon something.
Hey, what’s this? Is this a diary? Wait, who put this in here? Oh what ever. Ariana thought to herself while tapping the dust off of a strange, ancient-like, book.
“It’s... It’s... It’s Shania’s diary before she died.” Ariana immediately opened the diary.

Dear Diary,
It’s been 5 years since I have wrote in this diary. I have recently found it under my bed. Well today was the first day of high school, and it was so scary. I met this mean girl named, Sarah Evang. I hate her so
much, she thinks she’s so popular but she’s not. She has this friend names Angelica Sumsing Do; she’s not that mean to me so I don’t hate her as much...

Dear diary,
I won! I won! Guess what? I won! I beat Deran on chess. He’s so dumb, I beat him on everything. Oh right, you don’t know who Deran is right? Well, Deran is my twin brother. He looks just like me. He has blonde hair, I have blonde hair, he has small eyes, I have small eyes, except I have glistening blue eyes and he has brown eyes.

Dear diary,
Anyways so yesterday Sarah told Angelica to trip me during lunch, and I fell on gravy; everyone laughed! So for revenge I and Susie put shrimps in her gym bag. It was so funny; she was literally rolling on the floor crying. I know it was very rude but she totally deserved it! I remember on the third week of school, she almost tried to stab me with her pencil. After that day, I went to the library; I was the only one there so it was so awkward. Then the lights turned off; I heard someone breathe, someone walking slowly, mysteriously, I screamed and the lights just turned on. I felt something pointy, something like a knife but I think I was exaggerating. After a while the lights turned on, I saw someone run and I saw Sarah’s one and only girly keychain. Was she here? Did she want to kill me?

Dear Diary,
I’m off to the Spelling bee; I’m going to bring this diary with me. I’m leaving in 20 minutes and I haven’t even got ready, so I have to go get ready bye! AHH! It’s dark... Why does this always happen to me! I am at the Spelling Bee. No one is here! I’m all by myself! Oh my gosh, I think I see D-
“Hey! What happened? Where’s the page? Why is it ripped? Someone must have looked in her diary and ripped the page.” Ariana mumbled while rapidly flipping through the pages, like the diary was a secret map.
