Dear Diary,

Hello there Mr.D! I'm just gonna call you that, since 'Mr. Diary' takes a lot of the black thingies in my pencil. You see, I found you in the attic a while ago when Koko, Permy, Hotaru and I are playing hide and seek. My mum told me that you belong to grandmum, but I don't think that grandmum told you anything yet since you're blank when I found you. You must be lonely in the creepy attic. I will never hide there again. Hotaru-chan said that I'm being stupid again, but I know she loves me! even though she always hits me.

Oh! I haven't introduced myself have I? My name is Mikan Yukihara, but I like to use my grandmum's maiden name so I am Mikan Sakura sometimes, but that's only for strangers, and because Mr. D is my new friend then you can call Mi-chan! I am eight years old and I'm turning nine this New Year! My best friend is Hotaru Imai! She's very pretty especially when she smiles, but Koko said that it only happens once a year but he is wrong! I saw Hotaru smiled twice! I'm so happy when I saw that, but when I was about to hug her, she bonk me in the head. She also loves different gadgets, she would usually stand in front of an electronic shop. She told me once that someday her inventions will be showcased there, and I know that she can do it! Koko said that Hotaru can have the world in the palm of her hand if she wanted to, but I wonder how... Hotaru's hands are so small. Permy flicked my forehead when I told them that. I have some mean friends.

Koko is also one of my friends. He lives nearby our house and we met when he accidentally hit Permy's doll with his ball when we went in the park. Permy was so mad that she made him her slave for a week. Poor poor Koko. But we became friends anyway so it's okay! He loves to laugh and play prank on Permy just to piss her off. It was always lively when he's around. But it's difficult to lie to Koko since he always seems to know what we're thinking (even Hotaru!). He said that he never really have friends before so he would usually just sit on the park and observe people. But Hotaru said that I'm just easy to read.

Permy is also one of my friends. Her real name is Sumire Shouda. I just called her Permy since her hair in a natural perm (or at least that's what Hotaru told me. I never really know what a perm is). She still hates that nickname though. Permy doesn't like new people but she like new things. She also always hit me in the head when I do 'stupid things' but I know that she loves me too! She got into a fight with one of my classmates a week ago. My classmate said that I was a teacher's pet and I told her I am not, because teacher told us during the first day that she's allergic to anything with furs and she doesn't like birds and I don't think she has a fish or snake at home and I'm not any kind of animal and my classmate told me I am a moron. Permy immediately answered my classmate back. They were fighting until teacher arrived. I wonder what's a moron..?

My daddy just arrive Mr. D! Daddy works in this really reaally big building so sometimes, he comes home when Mi-chan is already sleeping. Do you think he has a something for me? I wish he has!

I'm just gonna go back to you Mr. D! Good night!

Your newest bestie,

Mi-chan
