you can read the diary that this is based off of here c:

2/13/29 -The Worst Day Ever.
I wish i could say life was grand and all that but i cant really, for the first time in my life i felt great; i had lots of friends and i found a place where i was to fit in and i was pretty popular but then "it" happened. My mum and dad split and of course my dad got custody of me since he has this "Charm speak" ability, its genetic but he probably "persuaded" mum into giving up custody so i dont ever see her anymore. About a day after the divorce was final my dad had already gotten a new girlfriend who was moving in...today- The thing is that mum got to keep the old house so my dad bought a place in California, i've been living here a month and already hate it. Our house is nice, its big and has a large indoor pool but its too big. This house is about the size of a small five star hotel, i have a room on the third floor and its nice but it doesn't really suit me so i have just been sleeping on the couch. But since my dad's new girly friend is moving in i have to move back into my room, it gets worse though... she already has kids but the young kind and my dad barely has any time with me already so i bought a journal to write how i really feel, its nice to have something to confide in. I have so much more to write in but i need to help unpack, im only helping so i can atleast see my dad since i havent seen him in a month. Apparently he is too busy to spend five minutes with his daughter. Well thanks journal, you made my life a bit easier. Guess thats it for now.


2/14/29 -Bad News or Bad News
Bad news and more bad news. Today i found out im going to a new school, but its just a regular high school where as my dad's girlfriend's kids get to go to a super fancy rich school. Neglect much dad? I swear that she has it in for me. Well as if my life wasn't bad enough already my dad just told My dad's personal servant (who by the way is very nice and more of a nurturing figure than my own dad .-.)
Image
William: Ah young master Ren, your father said you'd be in the pool but even I know you wont swim in the pool unless your father or I am there.
Me: Way to remind me that my father doesn't care.
William: I would ask what is wrong but you'd just avoid the question...as always
Me: You know me so well. Anyway what is it Will?
William: Oh yes, your father has requested that you join him and lady Erica this evening for a three course lunch.
Me: Oh really? dad actually wants to see me? what a shocker. Please tell him i decline with harsh intent.
William: Your father didnt give you a choice it seems Miss Ren. He said it was of urgent matter.
Me: Well, if it was so urgent why didnt he come here himself?
William: I know you dislike Master Moon *cough* your father and I know you are going through a difficult time but don't end up like my son and me.Me: You have a son? what is wrong?
William: i do yes. We have not spoken in years though,well over ten now. What i am saying is don't get too far apart
Me: Alright Will, I shall attend. I will be there at 8PM sharp.


2/14/29 - The Dinner

eight o'clock arrived and i sat at the large table full of food alone, i was wearing a dress since he requested formal attire. The dress looks like this Image
I was just about to leave when at 9:20 they showed up. I was unimpressed since i knew it was all her fault.
ImageImage
Me: Wow you two...really match well...
Dad: ...
Hows my favorite daughter then?

Me: Isn't she at the "fancy school" you paid for?
Dad: touché. Look honey, i know i havent been spending time with you lately but i still enjoy your company. Even so you are looking nice in the dress i had made for you.
Erica: Honey, these are very pretty glasses, where did you get them? *bats eyes*
Dad: Oh yes one moment sweetie. Well my shining star, they were imported from Barklandia. *holds up one of the cups to the light
Erica: *"accidentally" nudges the glass spilling cocktail sauce all over my dad's tux* Oh my bad sweetie, why dont you clean up and i'll keep your darling daughter company?
So at least five dogs wearing tuxedos swarmed my dad and dragged him to the bathroom. Erica just started looking at me like "oops did i do that.." kind of face but i knew she did it intentionally
Erica: My bad. Why don't you go get ready for bed now? Little children shouldnt be up this late *snickers*
Me: Arent old people usually in bed by now?
After that i stormed up to my room


At about 1:04 my dad came into my room
Dad: Erica told me everything.
Me: Good--
Dad: You shouldn't lash out at her like that, she is going to be around alot more now and you know that. It was not her fault she spilled some sauce on me like that, I want you to apologize for calling her old and ugly
Me: But dad! i never said that!!
Dad: Nonsense, i heard it with my own ears. you were yelling very loudly.
Did i mention Erica has the ability to mimic voices? Well she does and then my dad left so once again she has turned my loving father against me.

Im running out of room so i'll continue more tomorrow or when i start school...whatever comes first

3/1/29
I havent written what school im going to but since its first day i figured i'd say. Barkmore Academy is a boarding school so y'know Erica picked it out. (no surprise there...) But before i go i decided to enter a chatroom with my friends from my old school.
You entered the chatroom! Please wait a moment while we set up!
---
Taco24 entered the room!
pinkChimney entered the room!
OptimisticChair entered the room!
Biscuit entered the room!

Biscuit: So aren't you going to that new academy today?
PinkChimney: ooh tell me about it!
RenOnTop (me!): Yeah, its all Erica's fault. The school is a boarding school and thats how i know//
Taco24: oooh gotta tell you this, Laura and Kyle broke up right after you left!
OptimisticChair: Jared! You werent supposed to tell her that!
Biscuit: Jared!!!!! >:d You are totally getting shoved in my locker today now!
Taco24: What?! just because your jocks are bigger and stronger than me doesn't mean you can shove me in your locker when your mad! It stinks of perfume in there!

I wish i could've read more, its like a bad fanfic. My phone died right before i was dropped off at school so thats convenient.
As i walked into the large building I could hear some others whispering things like
???: Thats the new rich girl. think she'll be popular?
or
I hear her dad is the fourth richest dog in the country. richer than Lauren even!
whos Lauren? you'll find out...
I felt bad so i covered my face and padded in towards the office
I noticed a large fluffy dog with super silky fur standing in the office, she was kinda pretty probably popular material.
Image
Before i could get a word in to the person who was in charge she started up a conversation
Lauren: Omigosh! You must be Renee Moonpaw? It's such an honor to meet you! your like totes popular material, cause y'know us rich girls gotta stick together! Oh i love what you've done with your hair! short hair is really in season right now so you must be ontop of your fashion game but you probably could own the fashion game-
Me: Well you got my name right atleast, but how does everyone know im coming?
oh yes did i seriously forget to put my picture in here .w.
Image my bad. So now you know what she was talking about.
Lauren: Omigosh, your fur is so soft! you must use my shampoo too! Silky Shine is my absolute favorite and it smells like pomegranate!
Me: Actually i use Something Special, it smells like coca butter, now can i speak to someone about my tour of the school?
Lauren: Oh well normally I dont work but i'll give you the tour!
Me: Can we start at the boxing arena? I heard that this school has one!
Lauren: Well we could start at a normal class like science or something useless but if you insist. theres probably a gym period going on now so you'll get to see the jocks <3
after that we arrived at the gym and walked through some doors to get to the kickboxing area, she was right about a class going on but right as we walked in the teacher said :
Coach: All right, whos up next?
quickly i ran over to the coach:
Me: I'll do it. Its my first day but im up to anything sports.
Coach: Ma'am Sorry but this is a boys only class. Besides you wouldn't be strong enough to take down my strongest man Todd.
Me: Watch me
Coach: Ma'am...
i had already jumped into the arena and it seemed Todd wasn't backing down ether. the match had lasted about ten minutes and i won. Maybe i got a bit too "cocky"
Me: Maybe you should get some stronger boys then, Mr Coach
...
Lauren: ...
the jocks: ...
I gotta get some more hobbies.
Coach: What would you say to a full scholarship and a spot on my team? You of course get the scholarship if you play like that on Wednesday's match and win the tournament
Lauren: okay, it is not possible for a girl that small is able to pin a wolf three times her size so you freak me out. Go to your dorm and unpack or something. Im going to the Cafeteria. I'll send someone to give you a tour or something later.


I managed to find my dorm (it was in a different building .w.) It took me about an hour and when i got in there i wasnt impressed, not cause it was small but the decor was horrible. i put a line down in the center of the room and quickly took down all the horrible pink and purple and blue or rainbow paintings and picture frames that frankly don't go well in any room. Well i didnt have anything to put up but i probably made it like 65% better than before even though i only took down ten different pictures/whatnot. It was still pretty bad since the wallpaper looked like one of the white fancy furry carpets you'd buy at a store

3/1/29-Guess whos back...

Thats right, if you guessed Lauren then you get a cookie. I was in the middle of taking down that horrid poofy wallpaper (it sparkled too) When Lauren walked into the dorm room with another girl at her side, i assumed she was popular too.
ImageImage
Lauren: So did you know Riley was ---
Omigosh! what are you doing in here! this was expensive! how did you even get in here... you...you outcast!

I have to admit those words really hurt .w.
Me: nononononononononononononononono (,,,ect.)
Lauren: Like, are you done cause this is my room so get out
Me; What did i do to deserve a room mate that is Lauren?
Lauren: No Way! I need to speak to the housing commissioner ASAP!
after that Lauren stormed off leaving me with the other girl
???" Well, i was going to show you around but now Lauren wouldn't want me hanging out with you. Byee


Now i was alone, i left the door open since it stunk of perfume in the dorm. I managed to finish getting half of the pink plushy wall paper off of my side of the room. The wall underneath was a horrid pink/magenta color.

3/2/29- Something more "laid back"... or not

After i finished up in my room i figured that i might as well take a shower since i was covered in sparkles, glue, and somehow the fake pink fur. I actually found out that the showers are in different locations, there are some in the girls bathroom (the dorms are separated into two buildings one for males and one for females) there are a few in the locker rooms and and then there is a whole building full of em' (of course they are separated) they are further away but more private. (probably higher quality too.) But i was tired and lazy so i just went to the bathroom showers. You need to bring your own shampoo though since the ones the school supplies are cheap .3.
Before i could get into the shower i met another girl there, she was an outcast like me,
Image
???: Hey, you're one of the new students, right?
Me: Oh, uhm yeah. Why?
???: The popular showers are not in this building...
Me: Wait these showers are based on ranking too? /)_.3._/)
??: Oh yeah, the populars get the best showers. and if outcasts or nerds want to use them passes are needed. They are like two-hundred
Me: Whoever would need that much money? .3.
???: Lauren and her buddies. Lauren uses the money on her special shampoo, i dont know about the others though.
Me: i figured it was something stupid like that.
???: Why are you waisting your time in the outcast shower? arent you a popular?
Me: no, did you think i was?
???:Well yeah...
i explained the story to her and she left shortly after since it was pretty late

I finally got into the shower but then I heard Lauren talking with someone, it sounded like that girl from earlier but they all sound alike. It was hard to focus on what they were saying since the rushing water but i think i got most of it.
Lauren: My fur! Ohh its ruined! what am i going to do now! What will drake think of me!
???: How did they even get into your room? Its like totally locked!
Lauren: Do you think i would be like this if I knew who did it?
???: Good point....Do you think it was your roommate?
???: No, i kept the door locked and the key was with me. besides she was working on the room
This was just some unimportant girl talk so i finished up in the showers and walked passed those two (turns out it was the girl from before. The one with the braids) I stood next to them but not too close since Lauren seemed to be having a bad fur day which is impossible for her. I looked up her shampoo brand and it is magical, they say whoever uses it will have super silky fur that smells good (it actually does smell really good)
Lauren: *quickly shoves the other girl in front* Oh, heh-hey Renee Why dont you go back to the dorm and finish there?
Me: Lauren, I can still see you
Lauren: Just go! Otherwise your going to be seeing alot more of these showers!
Me: Okay, i don't know what you mean by that but I'll leave

4/3/29- New friends or new enemies?

So word spread fast after the "Lauren incident" turns out someone had put glue into her super expensive shampoo. Some think that Lauren's crush did it to try and get her to stop stalking him or something. Well anyway Lauren had a mental breakdown and got out of classes until her fur went back to its original "gloss"
Classes for me started last week so I got to experience boredom firsthand. (yay!) Social studies all we did was watch a movie on the history of bark bannington, The teacher was all like "Sit, be quiet and learn. You can catch up at some point i guess." And then "Okay, everyone hardest test of the year tomorrow. and yes Renee you are going to take it too." I literately have no idea what is going on in that class /)_.-._(\

Well Anyway I managed to make a few friends in that class. I saw this outcast who was more than happy to give me some of her notes
Image
???: Here, you can borrow my notes since Teacherface won't ease up on you.
Me: Oh thanks! I was worried that i'd fail or something
???: Yeah, he likes to act harsh but if you keep doing the work he will let you do what ever you want in class.
Me:Oh, ill keep that in mind. By the way Im Renee
Arbor: Call me Arbor. My friends do
Me: So, no full name? .3.
Arbor: Nope.
Me: At least you're honest.

I really like her style, but maybe there is something she is not telling me. Maybe that is why she is an outcast, I dunno. Just my guess.

Turns out I have Science with her too so we got to chat a bit more.

4/4/29 - I did a bad thing.


So today curiosity got the best of me, and I feel like a jerk .-.

After my English class I found this small leather book under my bag, naturally I opened the book after class and I noticed it was a diary, I could tell from the first sentence
"Dear Diary, so today..."

Well I closed the book and put it in my bag before anyone saw me read it. That night in my dorm I was alone, Lauren had been out with he popular buddies prepping for some kind of dance, but even I know that she was using that as an excuse to stay out late with her "followers"

I had no work to do after class so I organized my school bag, I forgot about the book since we were training for a kickboxing match. It slipped my mind .w.
I weighed the possibilities of the good and the bag and apparently I got bored at some point and read it anyway.
I am such a bad person /).(\
[comments are in This color]

Dear Diary,

Today started out alright, I had a very sore throat but I cant just skip school for that reason, besides if you don't go to class they send someone to search your dorm and if you're sick they drag you down to the medical bay. Since when has the school had a medical bay?
I decided to just go to classes.
My throat didn't bother me too much throughout the day. During lunch I remembered that I had a project due in a few periods to I quickly got to work and started to draw out the review picture, it was only one period but I was pretty happy with how it had been going. I had done a little bit of work through the next periods but I was mostly focused on the class work.
I get to my foreign language class nice and early so I decided to work on my drawing for a little bit. After the bell rang the teacher began going over the homework and she finished early so I grabbed my project and worked on it for a minute or two before the teacher walked over and ripped the paper out of my paws, she then proceeded to crumple and rip the paper. I stopped and looked up at her as she slammed a paper onto my desk. I looked around and everyone else stared, I felt the tears run down my fur. The good thing is that my fur was already tear stained so nobody saw me break down.
After class I gave the teacher a look, it wasn't an angry look but the kind a puppy gives.
Deep down that was the day I felt my soul was the drawing, the drawing she ripped and crumpled.
Ohmigosh that was so sad D: I want to hug this girl now!
That next week I didn't attend any of my classes, I was in the medical bay. I already had depression but this event is what triggered me. Anyway This is the last entry I will probably write for awhile. Until then -Brooke.



that was so sad! But it did give me some information on who owns this book.

5/4/29 - Maybe I made things better?

Today is Saturday so that means I got some free time to go and find out who owns this book. So luckily I have a map outside my dorm and after studying it for a few moments I found out the medical bay was by the gym I work out in and I think that is a very good place to put it since alot of animals seem to get injured.

I knocked on the door and a nurse opened it, she looked tired as if she hadn't slept in awhile, but she let me in. I looked around and there were a few beds with charts that had names on the front. I found this bed in the corner with the name "Brooke" written on it, the curtain was pulled over and she seemed to be enjoying the dark. A bowl of steaming soup sat on the nightstand and this girl was turned and hunched under the blanket. I took the book and a piece of paper and quickly wrote a small note then placed the book onto the table with the note neatly tucked into it.

I do hope she gets better. Its a sad sight to see someone in distress like this.

4/6/29 - back to the medical bay!


I wanted to know if that girl had seen the note yet so I walked back to the medical bay, this time a male nurse let me in, I walked towards where the girl had been, but when I got there I noticed a different dog,
Image
she wasn't huddled under the blanket but she did have that same diary. I waved at her and she looked up at me with a confused look
Girl: Uhm hello?
Me: Where is the girl who was here yesterday? with the dark fur? .3.
she hesitated for a moment before answering
Girl: You are looking at her...well not physically...oh uhm am i being too confusing?
Me: yeah... I have no clue what your talking about
Girl: Im an emotion lord, my appearance changes to fit my emotions so uhm do you get it now? .3.
Me: I guess .w. so what happened that you y'know
Girl: Being an emotion lord means that I am extremely sensitive to emotions, like uhm anger. so uhm yeah
Me: Shouldn't you be like more resistant or something? .3.
Girl: I should... but I skipped things...
Me: So, are you Brooke?
Girl: No, Im Rosemary. to avoid confusion, all of my emotions have names.
Me: But, thats way more confusing .w.
Rosemary: *shrugs* its customary I guess.
Me: You guess...
Rosemary: Not my fault .w.
a nurse walked over and stood for a moment before speaking
Nurse: Visiting hours are now over, you can visit again at 5:00PM to 8:00PM
I waved before heading back to my dorm.


The conversation didn't last that long, I just showed up like thirty minutes before visiting hours ended.

I was halfway to my dorm when this cloud of smoke surrounded the building, a small explosion happened and then a boy came out of his dorm coughing
Image
he seemed rather enthusiastic for his dorm being blown up .w.
???: HAHAHAH YES! I HAVE DONE IT!
Me: yes you have done it, you blew up the hallway.
???: WHAT? MY EARS ARE STILL RINGING SPEAK UP!
Me: .____.
???: DID YOU SAY SOMETHING? I STILL CANT HEAR YOU
Me: ._____________.
I walked away before he said anything else. surprisingly no one was bothered by the explosion. I guess its normal

4/7/29 -School trip?

So this morning they got everyone up extra early, like 3:00AM .3.
Attention Students! Today due to an unforeseen incident in one of the boys dorms... We are vacating the school for a day! Please report to the common area with a bag of clothing enough for a few days at least. Do not be alarmed as this is probably going to be routine



I'm guessing that boy from last night had something to do with this...So im pretty sure that there is some toxic spill or something.
I lifted my head from the covers and it spelled like my younger sister's cooking o3o or maybe it smells better than her cooking. I dunno but they are both probably toxic.
I could hear Lauren screaming so no getting any sleep tonight
Lauren: OMIGOSH! LIKE WHAT AM I GOING TO DO!>?
Me: pack your things and get out.

I got up and grabbed my gym bag, I tossed my clothes onto my bed and then grabbed some clean clothes plus some necessities.phone charger, phone, other things.3.
Everyone was pushing around and panicking but I was sitting there calmly with arbor and Rosemary/Brooke/others... im just going to write rosemary, much less confusing
Image Image but now rosemary looks like this:
Image
Me: So...your not alarmed or anything? .3.
Rosemary: ... no why?
Me: uhm never mind...
I don't think she knows so i dont want to make her nervous or anything...
Arbor: Ohh, that makes sense now
Me: What makes sense now?
Rosemary: What?
Arbor: Oh uhmm In this book im reading...the character does a thing and I just got that thing...
Rosemary: I like to read, what book is it.
Arbor: ... It was Murder on the Orient express
Rosemary: what did the character do? .3.
Arbor: ... he died
Me: oh...


At about 4:45 they called for "role call" and basically the students who were missing had teachers go to their dorms. At 5 everyone was moved onto a bunch of buses and the school went to this hotel... but it was one of the hotels my father owns so .w. gaahhh why :T
Ill write more later then.
