A/N: Hello there! I'm Follicle, and here's my first story here in FF. Although it's quite late for me, as I joined a while ago, it's never too late. This chapter's very short, I am aware. But it'll definitely get longer as time passes.
So thank you for clicking on my story, and I hope you enjoy.

Well, Mum's been badgering me to write in the diary she gave me two years ago, so here it is. My first journal entry. I really don't get why I need to write like this. It's not as if anyone will be reading these entries. Yes, I asked Mum about that, but she says it's for me to read when I'm older. She promises that I'll be thanking her for this. I doubt it. Who wants to read some hormonal teenager's problems? Not me for sure. Although it might be amusing to read about, I don't think there's really a point to this.
I suppose I should give myself a brief history of where I am in life right now. After all, when I'm old and wrinkly, I won't be able to remember so far back, or that's what Mum says. Really, does she think I'd be able to even read my tiny chicken scratch of a handwriting when I'm old? I'd have probably become legally blind by then. But if I am able to read my writing, I'll list my name for now just in case I have Alzheimer's or amnesia or whatever.
Kit Marwick. There. Now I'll have something to remember my name by. Well, it's time for me to get on with my brief intro.
Wait, never mind. Sweet Merlin. I just checked my watch just now. It's already near midnight. I suppose I should be getting to bed. Sorry Mum. Looks like this will have to wait until next time, whenever that is. It's not like I should give up my precious sleep time for writing a journal entry. That would be stupid.
Well, erm. I'm not sure how to close a journal entry. But whatever.
Good night?

I know I haven't even introduced her yet, but I'll definitely put up a chapter soon enough with her bio in it. After all, I'm sort of writing this based on my own experience in attempting to write a journal. Obviously, Kit will have much better progress as this is a story that will hopefully continue and lengthen as time passes.
I'm still figuring out the details, and I wanted to put up a chapter up right now to prevent me from forgetting about this. But now that I've published this, I've put pressure on myself to continue this. See what I did there? No? Well, whatever.
Thank you for reading this and I hope you can take some time and review if possible?.
