Dear Diary,

Ugh, I hate that girly term! I don't even know why I am writing in this hated thing. This all simply started because when I tell Cassie I had learnt about diary writing in my old school and she buys me a diary to talk about my feelings, blah blah blah. So I suppose I shouldn't call you a diary (again, the worst word in the dictionary). I have to give you another name. A.... Journal? Boring. A.... Ugh, I'm supposed to be working on my summer project about birds of prey like eagles, herons, hawks.... Yes! I got it! I'll call you a hawk. I'll start again.

Dear Hawk, (sounds much better! )



I'm Skyler Swiftrunner (my last name isn't my fault! Though it is a bit of a mouthful....) and I'm talking to a diary hawk. I'm probably the biggest weirdo in Canineville. I've just moved here and I'm finishing off a summer project. School's tomorrow and I'm going to a new school called Furford Academy. I hate school. Anyways, I suppose I have to introduce you to my family.



This is my dad, Flame. He's most dragon, less dog creature. Let's just say my wings are from him. He went off to fight in a war, blah blah blah, and he barely comes to visit. Not much to talk about here.



My real mother. Why do you ask that I had to include real? You'll see soon. Her name is Silena, and she is a large part of fox and a little bit of dog. I've heard she was gentle, kind and quite clever, even though she was blind.



My big brother, Tigren. He comes from Flame and Silena side of the family, like me. He's.... a little weird, and likes to meddle with potions. (He says it's called experimenting. Though those potions also made his tail into a harmless scorpion sting.) He's smart, sometimes annoying, but a good help to my homework.



My step-mum, Cassie. Me and Tigren call her Cassie, and she wants us to call her 'mum'. I'm so not doing that. She's a fashion queen like my kind of sister who's younger than me. Her favourite out of me, Tigren and my sister is definitely my little, annoying sister.



My little sister, Nicole, and she thinks she has magic powers because of this toy wand, and she likes stealing from my brother's potion drawers. I dislike her and Cassie a lot. She's a fashion queen, as I mentioned earlier. Cassie always takes her shopping for new clothes. She's so spoilt.



This is Fang, my best friend. He's coming with me to my new school. He's a great friend. I can trust anything with him and he won't say it. Though he can be really overexcited and annoying, though we don't mind. He's loud, and I think anyone could hear him in a thousand dog-length radius.

I have to go now. Cassie's calling me for dinner, and I still haven't done my project! Oh well, I'll eat quickly and then do my project.

See you tomorrow, Hawk. I kind of wonder how school's going to be like. Oh yeah, right! It's a special school where its far away from home and the students sleep in dorms. That's so great to be away from Cassie and Nicole. Bye!

MARKMARK! =3

Dear Hawk,

I have arrived at Furford Academy. I was sent into this line of dogs and I chatted with Fang as we waited.

Me: What do you think of this new school?
Fang: It's pretty cool!
Me: It's okay for me.
Fang: Hey! I just got a new IPaw (IPhone) from my parents.
Me: And....?
Fang: I found this really cool game called Star Wars Assault Team.
Me: *silent groan*
Fang: And I got Tier Two Chewbacca, and I have Tier Three Han Solo....

I kinda zoned out. Did I mention Fang is completely obsessed with Star Wars? Anyways, I found myself finally at the front of the line. There was this white dog who looked like a snowy dog with angel wings who had a clipboard and a pink, glittery pen.



???: I'm Snowflake, but call me Snowy. Name and interests?
Me: I'm Skyler Swiftrunner -
Snowy: Whoever created your name must have no imagination! Though since you don't look so awesome like us Populars. Gray is so outdated!
Me: I can't choose what colour fur I have, Snowy, but -
Snowy: And you can't be rude to a Popular like me! No one carries around a light sword and a bow around with you. Popular, beautiful girls never do that!
Me: Well, I'm not a normal girl like you. So deal with it. Besides, my interests are sword dancing, archery -
Snowy: *fake gasp* How dare you! Outcasts! At once. And your wings look like a storm. Storms can mess your fur up, and....
Me: Whatever.

I walked out of the line in a huff and watched Snowy talk with Fang.



Snowy: Oooh! Perfect jock! I'm Snowflake, but call me Snowy. *girly giggle* Name and interests? *bats eyelashes*
Fang: My name's Fang.... and I like sports such as football and -
Snowy: Perfect! You -
Fang: And my best friend is Skyler.
Snowy: *sigh* Oh, that girl. How about you give up on her *bats eyelashes* and come with me?
Fang: NO!
Snowy: *sigh* As much as I'd hate to, you're Outcasts for being friends with that girl.

Fang walked back to me with a grin on his face. I nearly laughed at that look on Snowy's face.

Me: Awesome job, but I think she was flirting with you.
Fang: I have no interest in girls who want me to not be friends with you.
Me: You're the best friend ever!
Fang: You better check your schedule. You might be late.
Me: Oh yeah, right!

I scrambled through my backpack and found this crumpled piece of paper.

Me: I have Languages next. I'm learning to speak Dragon.
Fang: Cool, but I'm going to be late if I stick around. See you!

I hurried to the Languages room. I saw this teacher standing in the middle of the room.



???: Hello classsss. We are going to learn to sssspeak Dragon. I am Professsssor Draco, but you may call me Mr Draco.
Class: .....

Green fire spewed from his jaws as he spoke. I wonder why nothing has caught fire green fire yet.

Me: Sorry I'm late.
Mr Draco: There'ssss a empty seat there. Ssssit down.
Me: Yes, sir.
Mr Draco: Good. Now, classss, open your textbooks to the first page - "Basic Dragon Language".

I nearly freaked out because I thought I didn't bring it. But I looked in my bag and saw this black, hardcover textbook was in my bag. It had green fire patterns across the side. I kind of thought it looked easy, as my father had taught me when I was very young before he left. Page One said this:

Hello: Rawr.
Bye: Hiss grawl.
Good morning: Rawr hiss.
Attack: Roar!
I surrender: Hiss...
You're getting me angry: Grrowl....

Mr Draco: After you read this, please try to talk to the person beside you in Dragon language.

I looked to the side and saw - guess who? Snowy the Queen of Mean.



Snowy: Humph. I'm pairing with you. Then let's start.
Me: Grrowl... (You're getting me angry!)
Snowy: Rawr.... Grrowl... Roar? (Hello.... You're getting me angry! Attack?)
Me: Hisss.... Rawr growl snarll ragh! (That doesn't make sense and you're really annoying me!)
Snowy: Huh?

Mr Draco managed to overhear our conversation.

Mr Draco: Where did you learn that? Thissss is Bassssic Dragon Language, and you sssspoke Advanced. Bessides, careful of what you ssay.
Me: Well.... My father taught me when I was very young. My father is a half dragon.
Mr Draco: Ah, yessss! How could I have forgotten? I will have to move you up a level.

And it was pretty boring after that. Snowy looked like this when I spoke to her in Advanced language, as Mr Draco says. *rolls eyes*

Anyways, after Language, I went to my locker to pack my stuff. And I saw this locker which was covered in glitter, stickers and a bunch of girly stuff I don't know the names to. Snowflake's name was written across it in big, cursive letters. I saw this piece of paper that said - TOP SECRET - on her locker, so naturally, I looked at it. This is what is said. (And I hate all that pink on it! I mean, that paper's pink, the words are shades of pink, and everything on her locker is drowned in pink!)

TOP SECRET

Join Snowy's Fanclub for Awesome, Beautiful, Popular Dogs!

We promise a lot of activities such as hair styling, nail polishing and colouring, shopping, and so much more! Join Snowy's Fanclub to prove you aren't a simple, rude dog (namely, the Outcasts) and of course, ONLY Populars can join! (of course, cause they're the best, most beautiful, most stylish dogs of all)

Seriously. The Outcasts aren't simple, rude dogs. I'm going to prove it!

I escaped to my next class before Snowy the Queen of Mean knew I had read the paper. Besides, who puts top secret stuff on show taped on the front of their locker? She probably had missed the day brains were given out.

After a couple of periods filled with boring lectures and boring lessons, it was finally lunch. I dumped everything I had in my locker and went to the cafeteria. I forgot my lunch box and had to go back to my locker to get it. I bumped into the Queen of Mean for like the billionth time.



Snowy: Oh, it's the rude Outcast dog again with the horrible hoodie and all that gray.
Me : Yeah, right. My hoodie is not horrible and gray isn't bad. Pink is horrible, not gray.
Snowy : So, rude girl, I suppose you're going to sit with your friend, Fang. For the truth, Fang shouldn't even be friends with you.
Me: Well, he is, so deal with it.

Before she could speak, I turned around and walked away. I wanted to shoot an arrow at her face. I went back to the canteen and saw Fang at a table, with his IPaw probably playing Star Wars or texting someone.



Me: Hi!
Fang: *furious tapping on the IPaw's screen*
Me: .....
Fang: *still tapping on screen*
Me: Fang?
Fang : What? Oh, Sky, you're here.
Me: Fang... What were you doing on your IPaw?
Fang: Nothing....
Me: ......

So we ate lunch together in silence until again, the Queen of Mean came over followed by a girls.



Snowy: Hello? Fang? *bats eyelashes* Did you have a good think about swapping friends?
Fang: .... Don't think about it.
Me: Yeah, don't think about it, Snowy.
Snowy: Go away.
Me: In fact, it is our table, so you should go away.

One of the other girls piped up.



???: But we're Populars, and we can go anywhere we want!
Snowy: That's very true, Sunset.
Sunset: Please call me Sunny.
Fang: Stop having a chat by our table. Sure, you girls are having a lot of fun, but could you sit at an empty table?
Snowy: Now, Fang. Think about leaving your annoying friend even more.
Fang: Just go.
Sunny: Come on, we can deal with these two later, Snowy.
Snowy: Yeah, the girl's a waste of my time. But... *winks at Fang* He isn't. We just have to wait for him to change his mind.
Me: Like he will.
Fang: .....

Anyways, after that and a bunch of more boring lessons, I went to my dorm. It looked kind of dull. It had cream coloured walls and two beds - one on the right, the other on the left. There were two desks and two closets. A buttercup coloured carpet had been placed on the floor and the lamp - thankfully, didn't look too fancy.

I still have to know of my dormmate, but I suppose I have to stop writing now. I'll figure out who is going to sleep in the room with me later.

See you later, Hawk.

[Piefan]

Awesome diary! The characters are realistically portrayed (as far as a diary can go, anyway), and there's just enough description to get a feel of things without dragging too much.

[That was totally not a marking post thinly disguised as a review, even if said review was pretty accurate.]

[20lait1]

Dear Hawk,

I spent the evening in my dorm texting Fang.

Sky223: Hi Fang, how's life in your dorm?
Fang923: He hasn't come back yet. I was playing on my IPaw for a while. I'm getting bored.
Sky223: My dormmate hasn't come back yet either.
Fang923: I don't know where's everyone. On second thought, I think I heard Snowy call a meeting for all students.
Sky223: I think we're going to be late. Bye!
Sky223 has logged out
Fang923 has logged out

I grabbed my bag and ran to the hall. I managed to squeeze in the back behind some annoyed looking dog.

Snowy: So, my last comment is to join my fanclub if you're awesome, popular and beautiful!
Me: Seriously.
Snowy: *winks at the audience*
Me: *rolls eyes*

All the dogs were shoving me out as they poured out through the door. I was pushed to some wall as they rushed past. I picked up some poster on the ground that some random dog dropped.

Christmas Party

It's after school on December 28th. It includes:

Fun games!
Contests like the best costume!
Food and drink!
And finally, a dance! Bring your crush on a date and dance out the evening!


I stared at the sheet as everyone pushed past. I spotted Snowy again, strutting towards me with her nose in the air.

Snowy: Hello, Outcast girl.
Me: ....
Snowy: You must have missed all of that wonderful talk we had. You should have seen the boys adoring gaze on me! You would never get a boyfriend, I assume. Nobody likes Outcasts.
Me: First of all, I don't care if all the boys are staring at you. Second, you can leave me and my personal life alone.

I kind of was shocked by what she said about the boys. I was a little worried about Fang and how he'd acted around her. I hope he still sticks with me.

I returned to my dorm to find a dog in the room. She looked like completely the meaning of fun. If I looked the word fun up in the dictionary (not like I'd want to) I'd see her picture.



Me: Hello?
???: Hiya, dormmate! I'm Cinders, and let's party!
Me: But I - oh, never mind. You want to party late in the night?
Cinders: Awesome!

Cinders took out a bunch of snacks like cookies and soft drinks. I watched her as she dropped everything on her bed.

Cinders: Let's party!

The party went until 1:00, until then we finally stuffed everything down the bin and dropped into our beds.

The next day (today), I was exhausted. I was halfway to my Zoology class when I remember I left my laptop. I literally flew (actually, I did, but don't tell anyone. I don't want to get in detention. On second thought, you can't talk.)

When I arrived at class, I was 10 minutes late. The class were already working on their projects and the teacher didn't notice as I crept through the class. I settled down in my chair and put my laptop in front of me. This was going to be a long day.

Guess someone saw me flying through the hallways and now I'm in detention. I'm supposed to be working on my Zoology report, but I got really bored and now I'm writing in you. I can't wait to get out to detention.

If you want to join Furford Academy, copy and paste the code below. If it's closed, don't post your form! You can enter only two pets per person, and please may it be a dog, cat or a deer? As well, if you already have a character in the story, your other character must be in another rank. So no two Outcasts or Populars per person. Thanks!
