Dear Diary,
 
        My parents bought you for me so that I'd have someone else to talk to at the new school. I know they are worried about me making friends. I think I am too. But even if everyone hates me, I'll still have you.
 
Good night diary. Class begins tomorrow and I want to be rested.

Hi Diary!
 
        Classes began today. Nothing ever really gets done the first day, but you probably know that. I'm worried about sign language though... the teacher seems really into it. I hope I can keep up.
 
Good night diary. Thanks for listening.

Diary....
 
        I'd have written in you earlier, but when I went to leave class today, I was cornered by two girls. They wanted me to join the Student Council, which I guess is something that helps the teachers organize the festivals and stuff. Lily seems really nice, but Shizune heard that I was taking sign language and made a fool of me in front of her. She wouldn't go away. I was embarrassed and angry but I agreed to help them out tomorrow.
 
I hope Lilly makes up for in niceness what Shizune lacks.
 
Good night diary. I have a long day tomorrow.

Hi Diary.
 
I know it's been a week. I'm sorry. At this rate, you'll never be as full as a proper diary should.
The class work is really hard here. My last school was pretty laid back... I knew Yamaku was going to be different, one of those fancy private schools. My sign language is getting a little better though. The teacher here is really nice and helpful, and I guess I have to give Shizune her share of the credit too...
 
Student Council has been a lot of hard work, but it has been a lot of fun too. Shizune isn't really mean like I thought, but she is pretty intense about her work. It seems silly to be so involved in a club but I guess it's kind of cute too. Lilly is really nice to me but trying to have a conversation with them both is really hard. I hope I get better at signing quickly.
 
Thanks for listening diary.
 
I promise I'll write in you tomorrow.

Helllloooo Diaaary!
 
I promised I'd write in you today, but I don't have a lot of time! Lilly and Shicchan want to have a game night before tomorrow's paperwork threatens to bury us again. I'm so happy I agreed to help. I thought the work would be boring but Shicchan is really helping me come along with my signing and Lilly is just so nice. The festival is in a few days and we'll be running our own booth. Isn't that exciting?
 
Bye for now diary!

Hi Diary...
 
It has only been a few days, but with Shicchan's help I've gotten pretty good at getting her point across (well, at least more than half the time). But the better I get at helping her and Lilly communicate, the more they argue and the more I feel like it is my fault. They seemed to get along better before I came along. I was just trying to help. Why do I ruin EVERYTHING? I just wanted to make friends and now I think I'm tearing my only two friends apart. Why do I always screw up? Why can't I do anything right?!
 
It isn't even close to time to go to sleep but...
 
Good night diary. Maybe everything will be better tomorrow. We have a booth to run, and won't that be fun?
 
Sure... sure, it'll be a lot of fun!

Hi Diary.
 
The festival was a lot of fun. I'm exhausted. Shicchan would make a good line cook, I'll bet. Lilly spilt noodles all over some poor woman though and Shicchan got pretty angry. But I think everyone had fun. We have a lot of work to do with the stalls tomorrow though.
 
Goodnight Diary!

Hi Diary.
 
Lilly and Shicchan got in a really bad fight today. I don't think Lilly is coming back.
I don't really want to write any more.
 
Good night Diary.

Hi again, Diary.
 
I know I haven't written in you for a while now. I'm sorry. With the sc so understaffed... okay, it's just Shicchan and I, but that's a secret! But without Lilly around, and me being so new to helping around, Shicchan is doing almost all the work. All by herself! She is amazing. I wish I had her confidence, her drive, her passion.
 
I wish I had a lot of things.
 
I think though, for now, maybe Shicchan is enough.
 
What do I do?

Diary...
 
I don't know who else to talk to. The only one I have here is her. The problem is her. Or the problem is me. Me and her. Her and I. I don't know. Even with me to translate, the only one she really talks with is me. And the only one I talk to is her. When we work together she sends me off before it's all done... and I know she sits alone in the office, trying to fix every little problem all by herself.
 
Maybe she can fix me too? Fix us? Maybe I WILL talk to her about it. Then after, I can be there for her, and she'll understand and like me too.
 
Thanks for listening Diary.
 
Good night.
