Chapter 1: 25 more days
5-10-2036
Dear Diary,
I've been waiting for my 13 birthday for 3 years. I only got 25 more days till June the fourth. Why you ask am I so excited? Well as you know my name is Kumo but cloud for Americans. I've come down from a long line of well breed Japanese/Italian people and up till the girls 13 birthday we have bad luck and cause our family bad luck. Well I've drove me family into poverty since the day I was born. Not a really good thing huh? Well in 25 days it will all change. My parents thought to go on a trip to celebrate. They've been saving up their money and now they will be on vacation till June 5. There is another strange thing that is just wrong with me. I have dreams or visions of things that happen to me before they happen. Weird isn't it? My mom says it's just bad luck and that it will go away after my birthday. I don't know what's wrong with seeing the future but my family is like that. Anything before your thirteenth birthday it was bad luck. I don't know how seeing things like getting A's on tests and when I'm might have gotten splashed when I stood in that spot is bad. But lately I've been having the same vision and it was different from the others. I would love to write about it but I don't remember it. It's really strange that I haven't noticed a thing as easy to see as this. I was in orchestra playing my violin when I heard applause outside the door when I preformed. It was so weird a group of boys followed me the whole day. I had asked my friends about this and they said I had always had that group of boys following my. Then in math I asked Niwa a boy in my class that I've never talked to before for a pencil and got 20 instead. I borrowed Niwa's for it was the only one not trying to be shoved down my throat. I've never thought myself to be the cute popular girl of school. But now that I think of it my friends are the cute popular girls of the school and I happen to be one of them. I looked at myself in the mirror and I really did look good. I can't really tell for I wear the school dress then an enormous sweater that comes down past my knees no matter how hot it is. It's another bad luck strange thing that I'm supposed to get over at 13. But "boys" don't interest me for I'm in love. I know you may think that I'm only 12 and I don't know anything about love but if my family ever had any good luck it was finding their true love. My mom and dad are still madly in love and they've been married for 9 years. My grandparents are still madly in love as if they were 16 and they've been married for 30 years. So hopefully I am right about my love. Well anyway I will write again tomorrow.
