Dear diary,
Well, this morning was a crazy one to say the least! You see, I wasn't really sure what to do when I woke up. I needed to go downstairs to get some breakfast, but I also needed a safe place to hide this diary whilst I ate. The best idea would be to take it with me wherever I go to prevent one of the maids, or one of my parents, from finding it. Unfortunately, this had proven a lot harder then it first seemed, the reason being that I hadn't thought of a way that I could carry my diary around with me WITHOUT anypony questioning why. So, instead I decided on another way to keep my diary hidden form Mum and Dad. Snowy. Snowy was the only pony so far that knew I was keeping this diary, and she was also probably the only pony that would allow me to, without snitching to my parents, of course. So I crept down the long hallway towards Snowy's room, and gently tapped on the door. The pegasus answered happily, bearing a broad smile as I looked up at her.
"What's wrong, Swirl?" She asked me.
"I need your help." I replied through grit teeth.
"Why, what's wrong?" She urged.
"I need you to look after my diary whilst I have breakfast." I whispered back.
Snowy just stared at me. I didn't know what to do... But then she started to giggle, and I wanted to know what was so funny. I didn't understand... What was going on?
"You woke me up, for THAT?!" She chuckled. "Of course I'll look after it for you!"
So, Snowy took care of my diary for me whilst I ate breakfast, which was a massive relief for me because now I knew that nopony would find it and I was safe to eat my breakfast. When breakfast was finished I raced upstairs to find Snowy and I asked her if she could look after my diary for the rest of the day whilst I was at school, but unfortunatly for me, she said that she was going out today, so she would have to leave it in her room whilst she was out, and I couldn't let her do that, because a maid might come in and tidy the room and find the diary whilst she was gone, so I told Snowy that I'd changed my mind, and I said that I wanted to take it to school with me just in case I needed to write in it whilst I was at school. She looked a bit confused by my sudden change of mind, but she obliged and brought me my diary anyway. So right now I'm sat in the school toilets whilst I'm writing this because I'm hiding from my teacher; I've the most terrible day at school, and I'm only five minuets in! How will I survive?! Urgh! I just wanna stay in here all day and curl into a big ball and I want to... I want to... Oh, I don't know what I want anymore! Ok SwirlStorm, calm down. You're going to be OK. Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be just fine... But it's not though, is it? What am I going to do?! What can I do?! Maybe I should explain what happened, it will help me get it off my chest I suppose.
Diary in saddlebag and ready for school, I walked down to the path towards the old, majestic-looking building. I walked inside, like usual, I went to class, like usual, I sat down, like usual; I did everything like usual but it still went wrong! You see, when I went to take my textbook out of my bag I forgot that this diary was in here, and I took it out thinking it was my textbook, and started flicking through the pages without even thinking. Well, I flicked to a random page and she somehow managed to spot the words 'I hope that one day my parents realise how stupid they're' and she went belistic! She asked me to pass over the diary, but there was no way in Equestria I was gonna do that! So then she said that I either had to give her the diary, or she would call my parents. What was I supposed to do?! I couldn't give her the diary because she's read it, and there's no chance I was gonna let her read it, but I couldn't just not give her the diary, could I? Because then she's ring my Mum and Dad, and THAT wouldn't go down well... So what else was I supposed to do?! I ran, I ran into the toilets and that's where I've been ever since. But what do I do now?! I can't go back, but I can't just stay here! And I definatly can't go home... I could go to Diamond Tiara's? No, that wouldn't work. It would be the first place anypony would look for me... No, what I need is a place. Somewhere completely unexpected. Somewhere where I'd never be found. All I can do is pack up and run away. It's my only option. Okay, well, wish me luck, I'm going to try and sneak out of school now.
------------------------------
That went surprisingly well. You wouldn't believe how trusting that school receptionist was. I told her I was leaving just to go home and get my homework because I'd forgotten it, and that I'd return to school soon. Well, she seemed the least bit interested and just said that that's fine so long as I come back within five minuets. Heh, I feel kinda bad, I suppose she'll lose her job because of me... Oh, come on Swirl, pull yourself together, it's not your fault if she doesn't do her job propely! Okay, now focus. Focus on writing... Hmm, where was I? Ahh yes, I managed to convince the reception pony to let me out of school and then I just ran. I needed to get as far away as possible, so I ran to the train station. I got on a train and went as far as possible on it, and when I got off I walked. I walked and I walked and I walked until I came across a town, and that's where I am now. I'm in a town, and everyone here seems so happy it's unbelieveable! I want to stay here forever, it's amazing! I mean, I guess I kinda miss Snowy, and I miss Diamond Tiara and even my Mum and Dad a tiny bit... But there's no going back now. Can you imagine how much trouble I'd be in if I went home. I mean, I kept a diary without permission, stayed up after bedtime to write in it, ran away from my teacher, missed class, tricked the reception pony and to top it all off I got on a train all by myself! I would be grounded for LIFE! Nope, no turning back now. The town isn't bad though. There's this pony here, I forget her name, Star-Something, but she's basically the leader of the town and she says I can stay. It was quite late by the time I made it here, so it was dark, but from what I can see ponies seem happy. Very happy, actually. I'm glad I found this place. And Star-Thingy says she'll give me a proper welcome to the town in the morning, when I've had time to rest first. Ah well, it's been a long day, I suppose I should go to sleep now. Well, that's all for today diary, but I'll be sure to write again tomorrow... Bye!
