Dear Diary,

Today there was a new girl in our class, her name is Aiko. She just moved here from another city with her parents and older brother and sister. She's really nice and has pretty green pigtails in her hair. She doesn't talk much though, my teacher says she is deaf, it means she can't hear. She speaks with us by writing down in her notebook or sign language. I don't know much sign language yet but they are teaching us how to.

Aiko shows us what some words mean in sign language, I asked Aiko how do you say friend in sign language and she showed me. It was a little hard for me to do at first but I did it right after the third try.

She even showed us, what is it called again? Oh yeah! A hearing aid, it was small and purple with cute unicorn stickers. Our teacher said it can help her hear a little bit like sounds and stuff.

She has a cool quirk too! She can make stars but they only have to appear when it's dark. So the teacher turned off the lights just for us to see the stars Aiko makes appears. It was really pretty to see! She can also transform stars into different things like animals and also people.

Someone asked if she can do a butterfly and she actually did, it looked super pretty!

We also showed her around the class, like our class pet, the pictures of our drawings and art from arts and crafts time, and we even showed her the place where we put our lunches and stuff.

At arts and crafts, she made an art picture of some birds, first she drew them, colored them and then put the googly eyes and feathers on them. The whole class really liked her art and it ended up on the wall of art that we have in our class. It's really pretty! She's super good at art!

At lunch, she had lunch that was shaped like cute little animals, the animals were a Panda, a Penguin, a Kitty, a Tiger, a Pig and I think a Frog? Oh yeah it was a Frog! She told us that her dad made it for her. I wonder if Momo can make that for me since she creates anything with her quirk or maybe Mirio can do it, I have to ask.

Then at reading time, Aiko volunteered to read out loud in front of the class, I couldn't understand her a little but she did really well! We were reading a Japanese fairy tale called Peach Boy, it's a really good book!

Me and Aiko became good friends, same with some of the other kids in my class that like her too.

I really like Aiko, I think she is a good friend to be around and I can't wait to see her again tomorrow!

Love, Eri
