Two years later
...
I sit by myself on the floor in the hallway. I have a last period spare so I don't have any classes right now. I hold my old diary from when I first started going to this school. I giggle to myself remembering how afraid I was going into a new school with new people. The old pink diary has pages filled almost the end of stories, dreams, fantasies, some of which come true eventually. It's strange how much someone can change over the years. I open it to the first page and sigh, I remember this, this was after I came home on the first day of school, the day my life changed.
"Dear diary, Today is September 1st, 2015. Today was a bust, well, almost. I got completely embarrassed in front of my class for being shocked that my teacher was a zombie. Not a normal situation to be in but it happened. I also met this guy named Soul, he seemed really nice to me but I'm not 100% sure I can trust him, he looks like one of those typical "bad boys". I also think this one girl Tsubaki will be my friend but I don't know. Oh well, there's always tomorrow"
I giggle to myself, there's so much I didn't know at the time. I skip ahead a few pages.
"Today is the day. September 14th, 2015. The day I've been excited for yet dreading. The day we choose our partners. I'm choosing Soul but I'm really worried he'll choose Hannah, his girlfriend. Gosh, I don't know what I'll do if I don't get Soul. Who else would I pick!? I know nobody here except Tsubaki but she's choosing Black Star! I just hope Soul will choose me. He's been dating Hannah for a while but she hates my guts, she's even threatened me a few times!"
"September 21, 2015. So much happened in the past few weeks. First of all, Soul did choose me and we are partners (yay) we now live together in a dorm connected to the school. I thought everything was going fine until Hannah and her friends beat the shit out of me in the girls bathroom and nearly kill me. Luckily a teacher was near and stopped them. I had to stay at the nurses for the night before I could go to the hospital. Soul spent the night by my side and he also saved my life. Somehow my stitches came out of the cut I have on my chest, I started bleeding so much that I fainted. Soul was able to stitch me back up again and save me. OK Diary, I'm going to tell you a secret, something nobody knows. I love Soul. I really, truly love him but I don't think he feels the same way about me. I called him one night when me and the girls were having a sleepover and told him I liked him. He said he liked me too, but as a friend. A friend. F. R. I. E. N. D. I'll be stuck in the friend zone forever."
"October 15, 2015. Yesterday was amazing yet horrible all wrapped up in one! It was the dance and Soul asked me to go with him. It was magical at the beginning, we danced and I had my first kiss! It was absolutely perfect until some Jenks threw paint at me. I ran into the bathroom crying. Medusa, the nurse, found me and said that Soul planned the whole prank. She also gave me these strange black pills. I later learned that she was actually a witch and it was all a trick, also the pills were no ordinary pills, they were black blood. Yeah, actual blood that's black. Anyways, Soul carried me home and we stayed in for the night watching movies. It was a perfect ending to a horrible evening and I couldn't be happier."
"December 12, 2015. I drank black blood-"
The school bell rings and I shut my diary. School is over. December 12. That day. That stupid, horrible day. That was the day everything changed for the worse, nothing I could've done to prevent it, I even knew that at the time. I knew once the black blood was inside me there was no way out. I'm glad though that I spent what was left of my day a good way, considering it would be the last time things were good.
