NOTE BEFORE READING: I wrote this short story many years ago when I was 12 years old for an English assignment I had to do. The plot has lots of confusing elements to it, inconsistencies, and there are grammatical errors. I was (and still am not) a good writer by any means. Considering this had to be a short story, I didn't have enough room to delve deep into the plot. Therefore, this might only be enjoyable if you're a 9 year old. Also, the story is supposed to be in diary form, hence why the chapters are titled as dates.
