-* Trinket *- {Diary of Star}

[goldieyap]

Ummm..... Hi..... I guess I should start with an introduction...
My name is Star and I got you for my fourteenth birthday (Remember, Diary?). Anyway, this is me:

I live with my mother, my auntie and my cousin. I don't know who my father is, I didn't even know what fathers were and if they existed until my cousin got a letter from her father who is a soldier in the war. I live in a manor with a garden surrounding it that has 'strange' panels as a fence that go all the way around the garden and over the roof. I have never been outside.
This is my mother:
This is my cousin:
And this is my Auntie:
My cousin is a year younger then me. So as I was saying, I got you for my birthday. The other present I got is:
(A baby rat I called Harglowwer)

So, I guess I should write a bit about what is currently happening.... See you later Diary, mother is calling me.

A day later
You will not believe what has happened, Diary, Hmmm... I really should call you some thing else, shouldn't I?
Any way, when mother called me yesterday, she had something really important to say. here is how the conversation went:
"Yes, Mother? You called me." (me)
"Well, Star, dear, you are going to go outside." (mother)
"What? Yippee!" (me)
I was so excited I forgot my manners and she kept on talking.
"And you are going to meet some other kids your age and go to a-" (mother)
I knew what was coming. School. I have never actually been to a school, but I've read about them in books
"- school. You will leave in a week." (mother)
"What do you mean 'leave'? " (me)
"It is a boarding school, I have arranged-" (mother)
I wasn't listening. I knew what boarding schools were, I had read about them too. I sunk to the floor and held my legs together with my paws. I felt I would run away or kick or scream or cry if I didn't. I bit my lip. Cry a little voice in my head said, Cry and she'll stop lecturing about this school and rush to comfort you. Cry and she'll tell you that you don't have to go to the boarding school and it was all a silly joke. I listened to the voice. Tears streamed down my face.
"Star! Stop this racket at once! You are going to the boarding school! You are fourteen! You should of had formal education already! You are not a two year old! Now go to your room at once! You can come out when you're ready to apologise!" Mother fumed.
I raced up to my room, making a horrible wailing sound. I gave Harglowwer his dinner (It was dinner time and My auntie (Aunt Louise) and my cousin (Pansy) were making dinner in the kitchen) and put my pyjamas on. I was not going to apologise to mother. What had I done? She was the one who was going to send me off to boarding school. She should have made sure the first time I went outside was before now. Maybe take me to a non-boarding school first then introduce me to boarding school. It's not fair! I sat in my bed and sulked. I could smell the sccent of a delicious Chicken roast coming up from the dining room. Unfair! My favourite food is for dinner, it's my birthday and I get sent to my room for showing a bit of disappointment about being told I have to go to boarding school in a week!
I don't know how I'm going to get out of going to boarding school. So, I slept, because I was tired and upset, I was probably not going to get any dinner and I might have a sweet dream. I figured it wouldn't matter if I went to sleep early.
5 hours later, I was awoken by some one shaking me. "Hmm?" I muttered because I was half asleep.
"Wake up, Star!" a voice hissed in my ear.
I opened my eyes and saw Pansy standing before me holding a plate with dry bread covered in cold roast chicken.
"Auntie Marine told me to give you dry bread for dinner. I took a plate with dry bread upstairs and pretended to give it to you. I went to my room (I was still holding the dry bread) and waited for Auntie Marine and Mama to go to bed. Then, I sneaked downstairs into the kitchen and put some roast chicken on the dry bread. It was cold by then, so I'm sorry it's not warm" she told me.
I thanked her for giving me some edible dinner and she went to her room. When I had finished my dinner, I left the plate outside my room and went to sleep. So now I am up to the the present, it is 7:30 in the morning and when I woke up I realised I hadn't written anything that had happened yesterday. So here I am, hoping next week will never come.
"Owwwww!"
That's mother tripping over the plate I left outside my room last night.
"Come on, Cinderella, stop acting like a princess and a pig and get up!" she sulks and picks up the plate.
Goodbye, Trinket (That's what I have decided to call you), see you later.

Pretty good so far, please continue. ;D

Thanks!

Hi, Trinket!
Aunt Louise (Who used to be a professional chef) made bacon and eggs, hash browns, toast, croissants and fresh fruit juice for breakfast. It was delicious. I realised I was still wearing my pyjamas and aunt Louise and mother would be cross with me for last night and would love the opportunity to yell at me. I'll write in you later, Trinket, because mother has noticed me writing at the table and it's considered rude to write or read at the dining room table while you can talk to your family.

It is later in the day and Aunt Louise teaches me and Pansy every thing she thinks we need to know. It's rather boring actually, with embroidery at the start of the day ( I always prick fingers and lose the thimbles), then history (I always seem to get King Morris III and King Norris III mixed up), then botany outside in the garden (Me and Pansy were assigned to plants to look after and mine died last week. Aunt Louise is taking an awfully long time to order a new one), after that art (which isn't too bad, unless Aunt Louise makes me do an essay about fifteenth century art and so on), then french ( I get mixed up with some of the words), some times I have drama, singing and dancing (but that's only once a month) and finally, here I am pretending to be writing
an essay about democracy, but really writing in you, Trinket.
It is near the end of the day and Aunt Louise has just walked in.
"Pansy, Star, it is near the end of the day and you won't have time to finish your essays, so because it is the end of the week, you can finish them on the weekend. I expect them in on Monday" she announces and Pansy pulls a face. She hates doing Out Of Lessons Work (Or what school kids would call homework, even if they were at a boarding school and they didn't do any of their work at home), especially on weekends. "Star, may I see your essay?" Aunt Louise asks me.
"I-uh-umm- It's not finished-I-uh- wanna show you when it's done and-umm- I-uh- want it to be a surprise- So, yeah."
"That's very nice of you, Star, but I would like to see whether you've actually written anything" Aunt Louise smiled.
"I have her essay!" Pansy yapped excitedly. Of course she didn't have it, because I haven't even wrote it.
"I was reading it, Star must have been worried I would get in trouble for reading it so she made excuses" Pansy announced proudly.
"May I please read it?" Aunt Louise asked her.
"That's the thing, I-uh- kinda lost it" she said nervously, "I'll let you know if I find it."
Pansy throws me a look that says You owe me. I throw her a look back which says You can have some of my chocolate and caramel fudge that I made when Aunt Louise let us do a cooking class for fun.
Aunt Louise groaned. "It is know officially the weekend".
I pick you up and move to the library to find a book on democracy and paraphrase it.
I'll share some of my article with you when I've done it.
Hey Trinket! I bet you didn't know the first form of recorded democracy was in Athens, Greece and led by Cleisthenes? Here is some actual writing from the essay:
During the middle ages, only a small part of the population in a country were involved in democracy. Usually, percentages of votes for democracy were around 10% and 3% of the population.
I think this information is true, but if it isn't, how is Aunt Louise going to know? The book I used is the only book on democracy in the whole library (trust me, I looked through the Whole library) and it's pretty old. I know for a fact Aunt Louise doesn't have one of those futuristic devices called a computer (I think that's what it's called) or a phone (neither of them even exist in the house).

I am currently walking through the house wondering how I'm writing in you and walking, and I bump into some one. I look up. Mother. "I've been looking for you," she says.
I gulp.
"You are actually leaving on Monday for your boarding school" she tells me. I frown and walk off to my room.
See you later, Trinket, I have to enjoy my last weekend at home.

Hey Trinket,
How are you? I'm not okay for sure. Some how it rained. I'm not even sure how that's possible. Remember those panels I told you about? Well because of them it shouldn't rain. They go around the whole house so there's no way it can rain. It rained the whole weekend. I HAD to do embroidery for the WHOLE weekend. It was horrible and boring. I'm currently packing my bags to go to the horrible boring school. I mean, boarding school. Sorry this entry is short, but nothing happened.
See you later,
Star.

Hi Trinket,
I'm waiting at the station for the train. I'm so nervous, but excited. Mother walked me to the station and I think she was getting quite impatient with me, because she kept yelling at me to hurry up and stop dilly-dallying or I'd miss the train. I can't help stopping every five seconds, I mean, I've never actually been outside before, because the garden with panels surrounding it doesn't count as outside.
When we arrived it turned out there was an hour until the train would come. Mother decided to say goodbye and go, I felt rather awkward.
"Well then, I'd better go-'' she started.
''Will Pansy be coming to the school next year?" I interrupted.
"I suspect so, now as I was saying-'' she replied, but was interrupted again by me.
''Will I make friends?" I said nervously.
"You will make a heap. Now can I please-'' she tried again.
"Will it be like an orphanage? Like those horrible ones in books?" I muttered.
At this point mother turned very red.
''Of course not! You think I'd send you there it that was so?" she snapped.
"I suppose I better tell you why I am sending you there" she said, her voice much softer.
"Oh please do!" I pleaded
."Because of the war, Our house is in a huge danger of blowing up...."
Didn't those strange panels protect the house? I was confused.
I must have looked confused, so mother explained:
"Those panels you've always found curious provide some protection, but not enough. The war is getting closer and you and Pansy need formal education, so I decided to send you to a school on the other side of the country-"
"Why me and not Pansy?'' I demanded.
"Because- Because- Goodbye darling!" she sobbed and I realized the size of the tears streaming down her face.
I reached out a hand to comfort her, but she ran away crying.

I looked around the station. There weren't many people and mother and I hadn't drawn too much attention.
So I sat down on a bench and began writing in you.
Bye, I can hear the train coming.

[goldieyap]

As I entered the train, I bumped into a girl.
"Watch it!" She yelled.

This is her.
"I'm so sorry! My sister can be very rude when she's in a bad mood!" A nice looking girl apologised.
Here she is:

"That's okay" I smiled.
"I'm Lilac and my sister, Dandelion, is in a bad mood because she has to go to school, Are you going to a school?" she told me.
"Umm, Yes, I am" I replied.
She stuck her head out the door and yelled: "Hurry up! The train is going to leave! Edward! Rosa!"
Two people sprinted into the train.
This is them:

"My siblings" Lilac apologised.
"Hey Sis! How will my first year of school go?" the purple girl asked.
"I am sure it will go quite fine, Rosa" Lilac told her.
Rosa went to sit down. The train started moving.
"We should sit down" Lilac suggested.
We sat down. I hoped my first year would go quite fine, just like Rosa's.

[goldieyap]

Hey Trinket!
I just got a 'best friend'! I've never had one before. Hey! I know what you're thinking! That I'm an unsocial weirdo, I'm not! I've never been outside before, let alone interacted with some one my age. If you're going to call Pansy a best friend and some one my age, you're sooooooo incorrect. Pansy is my cousin and a year younger than me. And it's not like I chose to live with her.
I'd better get back to the train trip.

So it was really fun, not very interesting to listen too, but, we played I-spy with Lilac's younger sister, Rosa. She loved it. Then Lilac told her some stories and she fell asleep. She's not even that little. Then Lilac and I told each other about our lives. I told her how I'd never been outside before and she told me about her family. And school. At the end of the train trip she said "Bye! I seem to be going to the school across the road from you. Don't worry! Edward and Dandelion are going to that school" she indicated the huge, intimidating building that was my new school.
"We're still friends, right?" I asked her nervously.
"Of course! I couldn't meet someone as awesome as you and not be their friend!" she reassured me.
I was relived.
"Well, see you later, looks like you have to go!" she waved and ran off.
I turned to the intimidating school behind me. Good bye Trinket, I have to go. See. You. Later.

Trinket hi,
I've met two of my new roommates. The other one is a little late. I'll put some pictures of them in later. Their names are Katrina and Mel. They're pretty nice.

Katrina thought Harglowwer was adddooooorable, as she put it.
Mel is a little bit quieter and sort of nervous. I can't blame her. My first day too, remember?

Luckily we don't have lessons today (It's Saturday and apparently there is only lessons from Monday to Friday).
I'm sleeping at the top of a bunk which I'm sharing with Mel. Katrina is sharing a bunk with our other roommate who is late.

We're in room 343. There is a total of 500 rooms in all the girls dormitories put together. We're in GD3 (Which stands for Girls' Dormitories Number Three).

I have to go now because all the students are required in the Assembly Hall. Seeya, Trinket,

Star.
