Hello everyone! My name is Kylie. Well, I don't know how it became my name. Charlie kept my name as Kylie because she idolises someone with that name. So, I am writing a really sad diary. If you know my story, you will not take too much time to shed tears. My story begins with a stationary shop named Alka’s Stationery. It was a pretty colourful and expensive diary. Most of my friends were sold because they were cheap enough to buy. One day, a cute girl named Charlie came into the shop, bought gel pens, paid the money, and stared at me. "I want that!" she screamed. I was happy that I was sold. She paid seven dollars and went home. On the way, she was just looking at me and touching me. When I reached her home, I knew that she was a serious diary writer. Immediately, she named me Kylie. She showed me her mom and dad. Mom and dad said that I was too expensive and asked why she bought me. But she just loved me and did not listen to them. At night, she started journaling. She used to write about everything. Then she hid me inside her pillow and slept. She always came home from school in a great mood and started journaling. She wrote about her happiness, sadness, and everything in me. Well, I was not that happy because every time she wrote, she used to ask questions like this: "Dear diary, will I be able to do this?" I didn't like to answer her silly questions and didn't even understand them.
One day, she returned home in a really sad mood. She slammed the door of her room, took me out, and started writing this: "Dear diary, I don't know how this happened. I hate Mishin, ma'am. How can she call me an idiot? I just didn't do my homework for one day. Now, I have decided I won't go to school tomorrow. What shall I do now?" Why does she always ask a question? I thought. As soon as she finished writing, she threw me on the floor. I was furious. In the beginning, she used to take care of me a lot. But what is it now? Nowadays, she doesn't even touch me. I stay in her drawer. Why did she spend so much on me? I was happy in the stationary shop with my friends and Alka. This is the reason I am sad.
