Tuesday 5^th I’m getting sick of Freda! She wrote all over my pencil case and I had to use white spirit to get it off! I have made part of my hair shorter than the rest. I have made little side dangly bits that won’t quite fit in a ponytail. Bye!

Wednesday 6^th That piece of hair is getting in my way! [No shit.] Emma and I were following this boy today [the beginnings of the stalker years…] called James Douglas but everyone calls him Dougie. It was because we wanted to see if he liked Lucy. [Bollocks.] Bye!

Sunday 10^th I think somebody has been reading this diary! This is twice I have found it open and I’m sure I locked it! I’m worried now. Bye!

Tuesday 12^th I have been ZAPPED twice today. I shall draw a diagram of what it is and tell you about it. This means you have to ZAPP one person by Wednesday and your wish will come true. Bye!

Friday 15^th What is it with me? Why does everybody hate me at the moment? Hayley had a go at me this morning (we’re friends now) and Freda was mean. She stabbed me on the hand with a compass (I forgave her). Then Leona accused ME of being in a bad mood. Speak for yourself Leona! Ollie went home today and I saw his mum. Bye!

Friday 22^nd I am in Scotland now! YES! My cousins Rhian, Tom and Minnie didn’t know we were coming which was great. We saw a barn owl and what I hope was a Scottish Wildcat. Bye!

Sunday 24^th There has been a blizzard and we built a snowman. I had a falling out with Rhian and Abby over a game but we are friends again now. Bye!

Monday 25^th MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I have got all my presents. I got Twister, a football calendar, a jumper, pyjamas and a few other things. We went sledging down the icy drive because it’s on a slant. Bye!

Tuesday 26^th We had a snowball fight with the other kids on the street. I would’ve liked Alex to play but he couldn’t. I think he’s a bit older than me so I don’t know if that would’ve been a good idea really. Bye!

Wednesday 27^th Rhian is having a sulk because I’m making her apologise for embarrassing me in front of various people by saying I fancy Alex. I don’t really know him and he’s probably a pain but I could use his name to get me out of the business with Ollie and everyone saying I like him. Bye!

Thursday 28^th I don’t want to go home yet! Anyway, I think I saw a bat tonight. I have decided to do a Fact File [Stalker Notes] on certain people in the back of my diary so that I can remember things about them.

NAME: Alex
APPROX AGE: 13-14
ADDRESS: Scotland [accurate]
HOBBIES: Basketball
FAMILY: Mum, Dad, brother and sister
PERSONALITY: Quiet, nice
WHY I NEED TO KNOW: So I can use his name to stop people teasing me about Ollie!

Saturday 30^th I am home! Anyway, I want to read Pride and Prejudice [obvs] so I will go now. Bye!

Sunday 31^st It’s actually 12:20am on New Years Day! What a great start I have had to the New Year! NOT! I had a tummy ache and later on I went to the toilet and found out it was because I have started my periods! I will probably get used to it! [Onset of womanhood means every sentence must be exclaimed! See!] Bye!
