Ryuzaki Sakuno's diary

Dear diary,

My hair got caught in the bus door today. It hurt a lot. I cried.

People are always making fun of my hair too, calling them pigtails. Why are they so mean? Is it wrong for a little girl like me to have my hair done up in braids all the time? I think I like my braids. They're very pretty and nice to touch. I touch them a lot. I touch them when no one is looking. I love touching them when I sit around school aimlessly, hoping that Ryoma would appear right before my eyes and touch them with me. Ahhh! Bad Sakuno. I must not assume that Ryoma likes me just because I like him! I'll have to inflict a lot of pain upon myself later to prevent me from thinking unholy thoughts.

Tomoka constantly tells me that I'll get a receding hairline like my grandmother if I tie my hair in that manner all the time. What should I do? What's a receding hairline? I think I'll ask Ryoma about it. He's so clever, he'll definitely know. Oh. That means I'm not that clever. Maybe I'll look it up the dictionary. He might think I'm stupid. Does Ryoma have a receding hairline?

Synonym: retiring 2: (of a hairline e.g.) moving slowly back synonym: receding (a) n 1: a slow or gradual disappearance synonym: fadeout 2: the act of becoming more distant synonym: recession

E.g. Eventually, my unhappy memories of the place receded.

So eventually, my unhappy hair receded. Sensei has always told us to replace the words we don't understand. Sensei also told me that my hair is receding like my brain. I didn't know what she meant. The whole class laughed. I laughed because I didn't know what she meant. The class laughed even more. I laughed with them until they stopped. Then I cried. Sensei sent me out of class.

I still don't understand what it means. I think I'll try replacing the words again. Eventually, my unhappy hair was moving slowly back. I don't understand. I think I might cry. I wish Ryoma were here to tell me what it means. But it's eight and I have to be in bed. It's all so confusing. I'm going to bed now. I think I'm going to cry again.

Goodnight diary.

Saku hearts Ryoryo.

Cheers! My shitty bum attempt.
