Dear diary,

I thought I’d start keeping a diary today after the teacher mentioned it in English class. I guess it’s okay.

Today was really lame. I got put in detention with a bunch of older kids. They were all mean and stupid and I don’t like any of them. I hope I don’t get detention again. It wasn’t even my fault, I was helping some other kids because they were getting bullied and so I hit the bully and I got told off! Lame!

Man, at least I got out of there quickly, the others couldn’t keep quiet. That weird kid Jason even started singing! I don’t think he wanted to go home, but I didn’t ask. He’s strange and scary and old. The only boy there my age was that weird little thug kid that smokes and swears and burns things. He even swore at the teacher!

After I had my tea I went to Rockley Park to explore and play Spies. Those kids from detention were there and they were fighting again. They are meant to be older and more grown up and stuff but they are only more dumb and mean I think. That Jason boy was there and seemed real sad, but I didn’t want to say anything in case he did anything weird.

I tried to stop them from fighting and then Jason was all weird at us all and this smelly hairy man came along and said he knew Jason! He said there were fireworks on the Quay and I completely forgot about it. I didn’t want to hang around with all those stupidheads anyway so I ran to the Quay so I wouldn’t miss anything but they followed me.

I hope they don’t bully me tomorrow. I’ll show them if they do – Dad taught me some fighting stuff last weekend and I’ve been practising some cool moves from Street Fighter II and I’ll kick their asses!

Maybe I’ll try and make friends with Jason tomorrow, he’s weird and strange but everyone leaves him alone so maybe they wont bother me either if I hang around with him. I wonder why he is so sad all the time.
