The Diary

WALT use paragraphs in our writing

This week we had to write a piece of Narrative Writing. We had to have language features, paragraphs, character development and a problem and solution. This piece of writing was free writing and we had to read out our writing and give 2 stars and a wish. 

I have finished my writing and have now updated it!

Here it is!

Lia’s face burned red as she recognized her diary sitting on his desk. How could he…

“What is going on, this cannot be happening” is what Lia squeaked in her mind as she heaved big breaths of air forcing her lungs to breathe. She had just seen her own diary on her crush's desk. That wasn’t good....

As Tom walked into their English class, Lia’s face turned as bright red as a juicy tomato and it seemed to have caught Tom’s attention. As he skipped over to Lia she could feel her heart pumping faster. “Hey Lia! Are you okay?! You look like you’re gonna pass out” said Tom gleefully. This made Lia angry. “You know why I look like this” is what she wanted to yell at him while snatching back what was rightfully hers. Her diary. Which had her confession to liking him there. But she didn’t. She just stared. Not even daring to look him in the eye with the fear of exploding from embarrassment.

“CALM down, and get back to your seats”. Lia was relieved as Tom looked at their teacher and speed walked to his desk. This was the only time she ever liked Mr. Zucchini. He was a wicked teacher after all. “LIA ARE YOU LISTENING?!” screeched a now frustrated teacher. “WHAT, AHHHHH” Lia was so startled by this since she was too concentrated on Tom. 

 THUD.

Laughter could be heard. But there was a kind of distinct silence that was very much apparent. A silence that was coming from the spot where Tom was placed… 

 (“Maybe he isn’t going to make fun of me. Maybe…”) 

THE NEXT DAY 

Walking to school with everyone's eyes on you while whispering and giggling to each other is not a very pleasant thing for people. But this is exactly what Lia experienced as she was trying to make her way to school. She knew why people were looking at her. I mean it’s not easy to look away from someone who has a red mark on their face. 

 IN CLASS 

Walking into Geometry class there he was again. “Is there ever going to be a day where he isn’t in MY class?!” This is what Lia said as she tried to find a seat. After 1 minute of scavenging for a seat and failing Lia was stunned as Tom started calling to her! “LIA! OVER HERE! SIT HERE. COME ON. THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE TO SIT. ARE YOU IGNORING ME. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU’RE IGNORING ME.” Lia was happy but embarrassed at the same time. “He doesn’t have to be so loud does he?” Lia whispered underneath her breath while walking towards him. 

Sitting down next to him she spotted it again. Her diary. Sitting right on the edge of his side of the desk. (“What a bold person. I can’t believe he would be that confident to steal someones diary and just put it right where their eyes can see it.”) “Tsk Tsk Tsk” “Is something wrong,” Tom said. “ No, no. Nothing’s wrong” Lia said while glaring at him. He started to feel uncomfortable now and Lia knew it.

While the lesson was going on she would glance at it on accident and everytime that happened she would feel her breath getting shorter and shorter.
“It’s time I take back what’s mine” Lia was ready. 
“Tom?”
“Yes”
“Can I ask you something?” 
“Sure” 
“I HEAR TALKING” Mrs Lippy was not a nice teacher to. It actually seemed none of the teachers were. Sophie was too scared to keep talking to Tom for the fear she might be put in detention but she needed to know if that was hers.
“Where did you get my- I mean that di- I mean that book from?” Sophie was trying to whisper this while trying to keep in the anger that wanted to be let out badly. 
“Oh this one!?”
 “Yeah..” 
“ It’s not actually mine.” 
“So you stole it?!” 
“No silly! It’s my sisters. I took it from her. Well I kinda did steal it but it was for a good cause.” “What was the cause?!” 
“You see she’s been acting weird lately and so I took her diary to see if she has anything in there that would say it.” 
“WAIT so that’s not mi- I mean yours?!” 
“Yeah. Why would I get something that looks so girly.” 
“ I don’t know. Well thanks for telling me!”

Lia was filled with energy after hearing that the diary she thought was hers was not and now she was sitting next to her crush in class. Could this day get any better!

Walking to her next class. She was surprised when she saw that Tom wasn’t in there today. “MOVE IT” said Mateo pushing through.
“Sorry”
Mateo was known to be a rude person at Springsfield High and he didn’t really care about anybody and always picked on anybody who got in his way. He was the defnition of a bully.

Something brushed past her. It felt solid. Lia just remembered. She still didn’t have her diary. She caught a glimpse at what Mateo was holding. It had a denim cover on it and looked like the exact same diary that she had accused Tom of stealing from her but when she saw this one she knew it had to be hers. Only because it had her name on it.

             This belongs to Lia Parker. RETURN IF FOUND 

 “Wait. Tom wasn’t the one who had it, it was MATEO” Lia just realised that she had accidently taken it to school with her and left it on her desk. Then it was gone. On this same day Lia was taking Calculus. Mateo was in Calculus with her. It was all starting to add up…
