Tuesday 10th of June

I have a feeling in my bone thatI will get my diary back. On Monday afternoon after working at Georgia’s café while receiving silent treatment (thought you might like to know). Anyway I got my first pay check for the month and I received 50 pounds. I spent half on it on a notebook. I was going to use it a planning book to write down ways to get my diary and hopefully I can get it straight away. Its purple and has a black band. So I pulled out a purple feathery pen. No one will suspect it is a book full of schemes. Andrealle and Akemi planned it during study period. This is how it goes:

Title: Tricking two bobble-heads with one phone or The Locker Raid.

Plan: Try and get into Precious’ locker and retrieve the diary

Who’s involved?  Andrealle, Kemi and me J

How? By getting Haley and Bailey to blurt out Precious’ combination.

It would have been easy if I asked Jade (since she hacked into her locker at the start of the year) but she does not want to have anything to do with her and people are make her life a living nightmare and the students keep flinging their money at her which is so stupid. That is what everyone does here. They talk about how much money is in their account and it does not help since our school is in the top 1%.

Ok where were we. Yes. I was able to take Precious timetable and memorise it. Actually Leah helped make a photocopy of it. I have a photographic memory which is sometimes a gift and a curse. So, Precious has a cycle going. It goes like this. First period is English Lit. This is her gossip session. Then Math which is in another class but luckily Andrealle is with her. Third period is lunch and this where her and her minions talk and act as if they run the school. After that she has study period which lasts an hour and this is where we come in.

Precious uses this time to reapply her makeup which I find is time wasting when she can study. Also she…get this. She reserves the whole toilet and no one is allowed to enter. Since she is trying to pretty herself up, we will use this as a chance to raid her locker. But I have not told you how we will get the locker combination. Hold your horses I am getting there.

We know that there is a pattern. Precious gets to use the bathroom for 15 minutes first, followed by the twins and then the rest. So our plan is stop Haley and Bailey before they walk into the toilet. It is time for Andrealle to come in. She can be a bit intimidating if she wants to.

So we wait around the corner and I check my watch constantly and then I hear the twins giggling about this video that is funny on the internet. Andrealle came out and started her extrovert character and just struck up a conversation with them, that she told them that she would like to talk with them in the geography room which was empty. The minute Haley and Bailey got in, I had locked the door. They jumped, startled and Akemi walked out with a creepy grin on her lips.

We told them to sit down, which they did out of confusion and then Andrealle and I started tying them to the seat with thick rope made of straw. I told them to be quiet or we will gag you with sweaty socks from the jock dressing room. Btw, it is not true because 1. We are not that cruel and 2. They will believe anything we say.

Andrealle folded her arms.

“So...did you hear? she asked

“About what?" they both answered

“Precious" Andrealle said

“We do not know what you are talking about" Haley said robotically but we knew she was lying.
