Dear diary,

Where do I start.
I've never written a diary entry before... my mom told me to.
So here I am.
Yayyyy...
So.
Guess I should just begin with the very start of my day..?
Okay.
I had set my alarm for the school day, but that wasn't the thing to wake me up.
I woke up early thanks to my pet cat, Ajax.
Black cat. Yellow eyes.
Stereotypical bad luck.
He crawled onto my face at around 6 AM, waking me up from slumber.
Thankfully it had been Ajax and not my pet spider, JD..
No, my mother doesn't endorse me having a pet tarantula. It's tame, though. She doesn't know I have him, because I kept him secretly. He lives in a cozy box on a shelf in my closet.
So I was forced awake at 6 AM.
Just because Ajax wanted food.
Thanks a lot, Ajax. 🙃
So I got up and carried Ajax downstairs, feeding him and finding a note on the kitchen counter.
From my mom, of course.

Good morning, Virgie ♥️

I left for work pretty early this morning,
so don't be confused when I'm gone.
I hope you have a good day at school!
Love, mommy


Confused when she's gone?
She's gone practically all the time..
Confused?
It probably wasn't the best thing to be sarcastic about, but what else am I supposed to think about it?
I went back upstairs, letting Ajax roam around free.
I got ready for school, and then had about an hour and a half to spare.
I turned on the light and opened the door to my closet, taking a cardboard box with holes poked into it from the top shelf.
I opened the tops of it.
And there was JD.
He was an off-brown color.
I gave him his breakfast, too.
Not gonna go into details.. you probably know what spiders eat, though.
Then I closed the box and stored it again.
And then checked my phone.
It was blowing up with texts from.. a group chat?
Oh..
It was one made for the science project.
Everybody in our group was in it;

Roman - hey

Logan - It's.. it's 3 AM?

Roman - Yeah, I know.
I randomly woke up and can't
go back to sleep

Remus - OMG hi bro

Remus - 😏😏
So you're awake

Roman -

Remus - WAIT NO BRO
