Good morning! I’m Via Black and I believe you are my diary? It can’t be anyone else because IF ANYONE ELSE READS THIS THING I’LL MURDER THEM IN COLD BLOOD. Point taken? Good. So, I’ve just- oh my goodness, you don’t know who I am, what I look like. Well, my name is Via Melrose Black and I have brown hair with green eyes. I am pretty tall and very light which is why every single boy at school asked me to go out with them as their Valentine last year. I am very anti-social, and that’s why I don’t have anything to do with people. I don’t want to experience that pain again. What, you ask? We’ll just turn back time and see…

It was a winter’s morning, and I was playing with my older sister. Suddenly, Mummy took her. Just grabbed her by the hand and tugged her off to goodness knows where. I was left there, with Daddy, wondering what I did. Was I bad?, I wondered. Did Mummy not want me anymore?

After that, I totally gave up on humans. They were odd things. So, no romantic relationships and maybe a friend but no more afterwards. Currently, that friend is non-existent and I have managed to resist any stupid sweet-talking boys. So, I’m known as Via Black, cold and mean girl who won’t do anything but decline our request to go out with her. Or in the girls’ case, Via Black, cold and mean girl who won’t share her makeup secrets. I don’t wear makeup, either. I believe my mother said it’s natural beauty, girlies. Also, they think I’m psycho cause I like black and red, rather than their pinks and purples. So annoying, but yeah. Point is, sad as my life is, it gets worse. I live in a tent on the outskirts of Soulstar Forest. My dad died of heartbreak when I was ten, so yeah. I won a scholarship to some academy in the forest, so I walk to school with some TayTay music in hand. The people there are nice but- I gotta go. Teacher’s going off for not paying attention. Look, I know my times tables, lady!
