The day that she was born she was destined to have a grim future.As her mother held her tightly in her arms,she cried like a normal baby.But little did they know she would grow to be...well I don't want to spoil the surprise.Her name?Merry.
When Merry was five,she went to school at Maryland Middle School.She walked in,and as soon as she step foot through the door,she was engulfed in embarrassment,happiness,and loneliness all at the same time.She was excited to be there,but she immediately felt unwanted by everyone.
She calmly took her seat in the front,next to a boy,who was really cute to her.He had bright brown hair and vibrant,sky blue eyes.He looked at her and smiled.She blushed and looked away.He chuckled,but not loud enough that the teacher could here.
On her other side sat a girl who wore black skinny jeans and a red shirt.Her hair was curly and black.She had eyeliner on and her nails were painted black.She was,what people called,a goth.Her mother had said stay away from them,but she didn't look mean.Merry didn't know why her mother had said to stay away from them,so she decided to meet this girl after class.
The bell rang and all the kids grabbed their stuff to go outside for recess.She grabbed her stuff and started walking towards the door,when a boy tripped her.She fell and her papers flew everywhere around her.
The boy was a bully and decided to pick on the new kid.The boy she sat next to kneeled beside her.He picked up some of her things and helped her up."Hi!My name is Kenny,but you can call me Ken.What's your name?"She looked at the boy with curiosity."My name is Merry.Nice to meet you Ken."She extended her hand and smiled slightly.Ken grabbed it and shook their hands up and down a few times,then letting go.
They both went outside together,and Merry saw the goth girl alone on the swings.She ran up to her and greeted her and greeted her with a smile."Hi!My name is Merry.What's yours?"The girl only looked away,so Merry decided to sit next to her,and she began to swing.The goth girl looked at her swinging and said,"My name is Lilly,but my friends call me Lin.Don't ask me why."Her voice was bland,but had a slight tinge of sweetness in it.
They both began swinging together,and Ken looked over at Merry giggling with her new friend.He was glad that she made a friend so quickly.Merry soon stopped swinging only to jump off of the swing from high up.Lin saw her do this and copied her.Lin,however,was not so lucky with her landing.Her feet didn't land right,so she fell backwards.Merry ran over and put out her arm to help her friend up.
When the bell rang to go back inside,Merry,with Lin and Ken on either side of her,walked inside and took their seats.They were all smiling,which was rare for Lin to do.
The day went on and,when school finally let out,Merry walked with Lin to her house.Ken's house was in a different direction.Lin and Merry talked and laughed the whole time."You know,Merry,I'm really glad you became friends with me."Merry smiled to this and looked straight ahead."I'm glad I made friends so soon."
Lin went to her house and Merry kept walking to her house.On her way there,she saw an ice cream stand and decided to get some,since she had enough money.She ran over to it and the man standing there gave her a big smile."What'll it be?"Merry thought about it for a few seconds then said,"One scoop of chocolate and one scoop of vanilla,please."She handed the man the money and the man gave her the ice cream in an exchange.Merry smiled and the man bowed before Merry walked away.
Merry finished her ice cream before she reached her house,and when she finally got to her house,she heard yelling and crashing from the inside.She sat on the porch until the yelling and crashing stopped.She knew exactly what was going on.Her parents were fighting again.They do that a lot ever since she had been going to school.They were fighting over money.
When the yelling and crashing stopped,she heard her mother crying and her father rushing around,his footsteps stopping for a few seconds every so often.She wondered if he was leaving.He had done so a few times before,but she was little,so she didn't really remember it.But this time,she thought that her father would leave for good.She started crying herself when she had this thought.She didn't wnt to live without a father.
Her father came rushing out the door,and before he slammed the door shut,he yelled,"When you're ready to let me back in this family,you better forget it."Then he slammed the door and saw Merry staring up at him,her bag fallen to the ground and tears running down her cheeks.Her father closed his eyes,looked away,and went down the steps to his car.
She watched her dad drive away and weakly waved at his car.She had seen tears in her father's eyes.She walked inside when her dad's car was out of sight.Her mother was crying in the dining room,and when she saw Merry standing there,she ran over and hugged her tightly."I'll never leave you Merry.Not ever,"said her mother behind the tears.

Dear Diary,
Today was especially interesting.The classes were all the same,but I went to the library and everyone was avoiding me like I had a very contagious disease.Although,Matt stayed with me like glue.I liked it.I think I'm starting to fall in love with him.And I'm sure he's feeling the same way about me.Anyway,Mello was just as silly and tough as usual.J was different today.She didn't get in a fight today,though she was pretty mean to me.B was still as sweet as usual and we hung out a whole bunch in the library today.We have a project to do together and we were having a lot of fun today trying to find material for our project's topic.We laughed a lot because we were both being silly.She's a great friend.There's a rumor going around that L is going to visit us some time.I can't wait!Oh.Lights out.M out.

Dear Diary,
Today was an unusual day,there was no fighting today. Part of me was actually disappointed. I guess I had gotten so used to fighting that I wanted to fight today,weird I know. Matt, Mello, Near, B, and J all didn't really hang out with me today. I don't get it,everyone is suddenly ignoring me. Even Matt stayed away from me, that frustrates me. I walked around outside a lot today. Probably 'cus I had to think about a lot of stuff today. I found out something that really freaked me out. I found out I could talk to animals. I was so freaked out I locked myself in my room until I had to go to class. Also it was a nice day. The sky was clear and blue,and there was a small breeze. Well I have to go now. I have to go to class. M out for now.
