Dear Diary, Date: 5/10/19
Hello! My name is Sara Tulip, I'm an only child and my parents names are Luke and Pristine Tulip. They are the ones who gave you to me today as my gift for my twelfth birthday! I'm so excited, now I have a friend I can tell all my secrets to without you telling anyone.
I'll explain what happened today so I can fill up more space! I woke up to the wonderful smell of bacon and the suns light shining in my room. My alarm clock next to my blue bed read 7:10, I woke up just in time. I jumped up and got ready but when I got downstairs I had Ana amazing breakfast my mom made that consisted of bacon, poached eggs, and hash browns! It was delicious I must say.
I got to school and right away my best friend Michel ran to me and hugged me causing me to lose balance and fall. He told me happy birthday and as we went in the school my other friends, as I saw them, said happy birthday to me and gave me hugs. I must say it was wonderful, but the work in school is just horrible. Nothing interesting happened till lunch, while going down I saw two guys fighting each-other, they were well known eighth graders that everyone has heard of. Their names are Chase and Zack.
I avoided them and got to lunch, but this one guy bumped into me and didn't even apologize! I got so angry I elbowed him a bit and scurried off before he could get to me. I sat with my friends Michel and Candy, once I told them they had a great laugh.
That's the only interesting things that happened at my school, but when I got home my parents, before going to work, had me open a present, and that's where I got you. Right now I'm home alone and it's 8:30 pm. Its a Friday so no homework. Anyways I think that's enough talking for today, I think I should give you a name soon! Anyways bye Diary!
~Love, Sara
