Dear Diary,

I was finally accepted into an magically advanced school for gifted learners, like me. It's just not what I expected though. I was accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (I'm a witch!). It struck my parents' fancy. Of course, this is what they have been hoping for, since I love sending applications to far-off schools, hoping I get in. I wondered if it was some sort of prank. It wasn't. I tried to tell the neighborhood kids that I was accepted into an magically advanced school, but they just laughed, and called me a freak. I began to look at my list of supplies right away (of course), and realized I would never find some of this stuff at any store I knew of.

My parents met a man named Professor Dumbledore this afternoon (the Headmaster *squeal*) and told them that he would take me to the secret shopping mall for wizards and witches. Would wizards really have a shopping mall? I mean, it seems absurd! I can't really see myself going around with a bunch of men from a fairy tale book, with long beards, wands, and staffs, walking around a mall like there is in London. I really wonder if all the wizards look that way, especially the boys. Anyway, the mysterious boy who lives down the street began to look at me like I finally understood something once he had heard the news of my acceptance. Of course, I have never met him in my entire life, but he acts like it anyway, and it confuses me why he does this. I believe his name is Sean, or possibly Sal.

I really don't know what I should be feeling. I am excited to go to Hogwarts this year and see what educational values it has. One thing I don't understand is why I didn't see anything that would be needed for reading or math classes that I know of. There is also nothing about electives either. At least I don't have to worry about seeing all the ridiculous boys who are bragging about going to Smeltings. It's a revolting school, I must say. Although, there is a cute blond haired boy who I saw got his acceptance letter from that school. At least I won't have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of him.

I looked up Hogwarts on mummy's computer this afternoon, after Dumbledore left, and it found nothing at all. It really seemed like a waste of wi-fi to look it up. How am I going this 'school' if it's not on the internet?

At least I can make some new friends at this school, since I currently have zero from the accident at Joanne's party. I still can't believe that she's still mad at me for throwing up all over her bed at the sleepover, of course, her father bought for her in France. Maybe she should get over it. Now, she's friends with Patsy Prongs from the old elementary school, the girl was held back twice in fourth grade! I hope this will be a good time for a new opportunity at a new school. I'm so excited, and so confused, at the same time.

I decided to get some orange-ginger tea from the cafe a little down the road (to calm my nerves you see). Of course Patsy was there, and said this "Hey look, it's the ugly little dork from down the street. I heard she got accepted into a school for witchcraft. I bet they'll burn her to the stake once she arrives." Everybody laughed at me. My face turned as red as a strawberry. I raced into a the bushes in front of the shop after that, without paying for the tea. A couple minutes later, after I saw Patsy leave the shop, I went back in and paid for the tea. I was humiliated, and dragged my feet home, ruining my shoes. I got home just in time for dinner and my parents had asked where I had been. I told them I was getting tea with some friends at the cafe, and it took a little longer than I expected for them to take this in. They had no idea that I was friendless. Mum looked at dad and he shrugged.

At this moment, I am under my bed covers, with a flashlight to help me see so I can write. It's been one of the most utterly horrible, scary, and amazing days of my life. I guess I will write in this diary about my adventures at Hogwarts, school of mystery! I can't wait for a new beginning.
