I close my journal with a sigh and put it back in my bookbag. It's a dumb place to put a diary, but I have my own room at Simone's house, so I have plenty of privacy to hide it.

Currently, it's nine am and everyone is still asleep. So, right now, I'm just getting ready for the day. I pull my soft, straightened hair up into a bun and put on a short sleeved crop top with high waisted light blue jeans. Deciding to be a bit extra today, I put on my black platform boots that make me 3 inches taller.
