Dear Diary,

Most of the teachers at my school are old and weird. Mrs. Cuellar is my art teacher and she has the darkest purple skin I have ever seen. My mom said she’s probably from the alien planet, Sixam. Mr. Sherwood is my science teacher and he knows all kinds of facts about potions and experiments. 

Ms. Whippet is pretty cool though. She has a cool haircut and cheery yellow skin. My mom said she’s probably from Sixam too. It’s too bad that all she wants to talk about is boring school stuff.

Dear Diary,

I started my first day at school and guess what? My cousin Clementine was there! She looked a bit different than I remember…her eyes were stormy looking. Clem’s brother Quince is supposed to be going to this school too, but he was sick the very first day. It wasn’t his very first day though because he’s two years older than us.

I also met a new friend named Yuki Yoshida from my class. She wears some crazy clothes and I think she’s really cool. Clem isn’t sure if she likes her yet, but Clem likes boring clothes so I’m not surprised.
