Dear dairy,
My auntie Miranda told me that getting my feelings out would help me with my grief when my aunt Patunia, cousin Dudley and uncle Vernon died.
When my aunt, uncle and cousin died I got it out by dancing and painting, two things they had encouraged me too do when alive.
Now my auntie and uncle Gray have died. I have decided to do what they suggested I do to get my feeling out and write in the diary they got me. I am not sure how I am going to do it, I have never been good at putting my feelings into words.
I suppose I should start by introducing myself, like they do in the old Gilbert journals uncle Gray made me read.
My name is Aster Alexis Ren Floros-Gilbert, I am currently 16 years old and it has been a week since my auntie and uncle died.
My cousin Elena was in the car when the crash happened. The doctors said that auntie died on impact, uncle Gray probably survived it and died of drowning. Elena miraculously got out of the car and was found on the bank of the river. They went off old wickery bridge.
She's still in hospital but should be getting home soon. She doesn't remember getting out of the car, the doctors have contributed it to her concussion.
Aunt Jenna is going to be taking care of us now. She isn't the most responsible person but she's nice.
The funeral is tomorrow so uncle John is back in town. I've always liked uncle John, he's friendly and protective of family. I hope the funeral goes well, or as well as a funeral can go.
Good night my Dairy.

Dear Dairy,
It has been 4 months since my auntie and uncles death and it is now the first day of school. I hope it goes well.
I know some of the things that will happen today:
1. Tanner is going to be an arse
2. Everyone is going to ask how I'm doing, and every time they ask I'll say the same thing, "I'm Okay"
3. Jeremy is going to smoke more weed and make puppy eyes at Vicky Donovan
4. Matt is going to stare longingly at Elena
5. I'm going in a dress today.
I hope Tanner isn't too much of an arse or comments on my British spelling. It's lucky that Mayor Lockwood made it so that no one knows I'm male or Tanner would announce I have a dick, he's that much of a wanker.
Any way it's time to go to school now so,
Goodbye to whoever reads this.
The next chapter will pick up right where this one leaves of.
