Diary Entry 

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Good Morning," I exclaim getting out of bed. My mother was downstairs making me birthday pancakes. Running down my stairs, I hear the pit-pat of my kitten behind me. Frijoli is always right my me. Such sweet cat.

I come running into the kitchen and slip on water. My mother and I are now laughing hysterically. I get up and eat my pancakes. My mother knows how to cook and we are going into the living room for presents and to watch the news.

In the living room, there was only a few small presents wrapped in iridescent wrapping paper. Turn out, I got a Polaroid camera and some cute clothing. Me and my mom now turned on the television and put on the news. Same old stories. People in today's society are truly getting worse. A man getting shot and bridge getting set on fire because of people doing drugs. Honestly, have some common sense. I decided to go back to my room and get ready for my day. All of my friends are going shopping with me and after they had a surprise to show me. I do not like surprises because of my anxiety. People do not know about my anxiety though and they just call me weird for not liking their surprises. 

I get up to my room and check my phone. I instantly get hit with messages from Twitter, Instagram, and my friends. All wishing me a happy birthday. This made me smile. Now, what do I wear? I have no idea of what we are doing after shopping.

I picked a simple black top with a long, grey, sleeveless sweater and a pair of sandals. I thought this would comfortable and cute. Also, perfect for anything we would be doing. They will be here at noon, so I have and hour until they get here. I decide to take a shower to fix my messy hair. I get dressed and head out the door. Amanda said she wanted to drive because she wanted the plans to be a surprise.

Now, we arrived at a shopping mall  and started to shop. We went into a store and got amazing smelling candles and perfume. Then we went into a store to get cute sweaters and jeans. We ended up in restaurant selling sausage and mash. It was delicious and I will most certainly be coming back.  

Now, back in the car. We are jamming to some music and we have no care on who is looking at us. It was time to go to the surprise and I am nervous. 

It turned out to be a large castle and my friends rented it out for the night. How expensive was that? Many other people starting coming and they were all carrying presents. I am excited. 

After the party got started, I was getting really nervous. So, I decided to step outside into the beautiful, flower covered woods. I would get so pictures with my new camera. As I walked out, I felt like I was not alone. I heard something behind me and snapped a photo. Who are you?

Police Report

February 7th, 2017 

Clarissa is still missing and no suspects have been found. The only evidence we have was the one picture she took on her Polaroid camera and her diary. The picture showed a dark shadow, but no face. Her friends did not think of anything and the castle was left with present boxes on the table. Fallen decorations still lay on the floor.
