Dear Diary
I've never had a diary before, so I don't really know how to do this, but here it goes. I guess a proper introduction could be a way to start. My name is Laurabelle Hill, I live in Hill Manor in Maraheim with my parents and two older siblings. I am 16 years old and am currently attending Maraheim High. My interests are mostly writing. I have very few friends, if any. I got this diary from a teacher at school. Her name is mrs Wilson, and she is the only one I could talk to since I can remember. But she is on maternity leave now. We have a substitute now, I guess he's ok, but I miss mrs Wilson. This is my only outlet right now, but if my family found out that I have something that is only mine where I can write down my feelings and thoughts I would be punished and have this diary would be destroyed. So I am going to hide it where they can not find it.
I have always felt like I was born into the wrong family, somehow. I don't know if everyone feels like that, and I really don't have anyone to ask. My family is one of the oldest and richest in this town, and I've been told that both my siblings were very popular in school and they always seem to have friends to hang out with. I on the other hand is very quiet and prefer to be alone. I recently overheard some girls in my class talking about me, and they seem to think I am kind of stuck up because of my family´s money and reputation. I think they said something along the lines of "she thinks she´s too fancy to even talk to us" but the truth is that I would love to talk to them, to have friends, but they only seem to want to talk about boys, clothes and makeup. I am not in to that. I maintain my hygiene and make sure that my clothes are clean before leaving the house. I guess that makes me too different to other girls my age, and it makes it hard to fit in without compromising my own well being. I don't think I am better than anyone else, just different. Sometimes I wonder if I was born into the wrong body.
It's almost time for dinner now, so I guess that's all for now.
