Dear Diary,
OK, so, this is the first entry of my new diary. A lot of firsts, actually. My first day at the San Fransoskyo Central High Academy. My first time wearing a tie. And possibly my first crush!
Seeing as its a new diary, I should tell you about myself. My name is Aiko Miyazaki, I'm 11 years old, I live in central San Fransoskyo but I'm originally from Brazil. I live with my mum, my older sisters Talita (age 16) and Nathalia (age 13), my brother Leonardo (age 15), my younger sisters Tainara (age 9) and Eduarda (age 4) and my dog Catalina. I also help out at the local animal shelter.
I went up to school with my best friend Lekio, like I always did at elementary school. She looks SO different in a tie! The uniform is this awful navy colour and the tie has pale blue stripes. I'm wearing a MATCHING headband because I wasn't allowed to year a yellow one. Lekio had her long dark hair in a ponytail like always.
We had homeroom together first period, which was cool, but we weren't allowed to sit together. I was with this girl Nancy Mitchell, who seems like an awful snob but could be nice. Hopefully.
Anyway. About 15 minutes into homeroom this boy came in. I don't know anything about him except his name – Tadashi Hamada - but he seems really nice and really cute. Like, REALLY cute. He's either tanned or part Asian – you can't ever tell in the autumn – and he's got dark eyes that just make me melt and really messy, longish dark hair.
The remainder was a stereotypical first day. Getting lost, forgetting teachers' names, getting 'adopted' by older students – you know the kind of thing. There's an eighth grader called Fred who seemed to like us. I don't know if we'll hang out with him. He's nice enough, but he smells.
Anyway, bye for now!
Aiko
