I'm sitting on my bed with a notebook in my hand. It was the first one I found in my backpack that was blank.
"So Keira, how would you describe today?" I ask myself out loud. I guess I should write the date first. I write "April 14 2012" at the top of the page. "Why?" I write as my word of the day, being completely honest.
I slam the notebook shut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
"BE QUIET!"
MEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!
I open my eyes. I realize it was alarm clock making that stupid noise and not, well, I was half-asleep, I don't know what I thought it was.
"KEIRA COME DOWN FOR BREAKFAST. HURRY UP! I MADE YOUR FAVORITE, SCRAMBLED EGGS!" yells my Dad from the kitchen.
"COMING!" I yell back.
"What the-" as I trip and fall into my dresser. I turn around and realize I never picked up the notebook I started last night. I pick it up throw it on my bed and ran down the stairs.
"So how you doing today? How was the visit with Mr. Vmilo last night?" Dad asks.
"It was fine thanks. I started a notebook, um, I'm supposed to write one word everyday that describes what I feel like or how the day went."
"That's great. I need to go." Dad rushes out the room.
"You weren't even LISTENING!" I yell at him.
"Bye!" and the door closes.

The hallways are starting to get busy. There's only 10 minutes till the start of class and everyone is rushing to their lockers. I spot Michelle and Sophie talking to Logan on my right. As I walk past them they all start laughing and giggling. I look further down the hall and I see the swish of a dark brown ponytail.
"Hey! Emma! Come over here! We need to talk!" I shout.
The head turns around. And glares at me. The person begins to walk towards me.
"I have 2 minutes, what do you want." Emma demands.
"Answer one simple question and I'll leave alone."
"What is it, why is the sky blue?" she taunts me in quite a loud voice. This catches the attention of M & S. Soon 10 people are all waiting to hear what I say next.
"Why are you acting like this?" I ask.
Emma's face freezes. Her mouth tries to talk. "I um, I me, I-I-I um"
M & S are eagerly waiting an answer from Emma, knowing everyone will want to hear about how the girl who's Mom has just died has just lost her best friend.
I lock eyes with Emma, she seems clueless, her eyes are blank. How can she not know why she's doing this to me? She has a mind.
I turn around seeing how many people are gonna be late for class due to the fact that Emma will not answer this question. Black bag. Wait what? What is that coming towards me? I look straight at it, yes I was right it's a black backpack.
It hits me in the head. I fall down on the ground. Voices around me become muffled. My head hurts. I can't get up. My vision becomes blurry. I black out.
