They started talking to each other, and I concentrated on my spaghetti and turkey meatballs. We
used to have real meatballs. But Mom became a health freak. And now all of our meat is made out
of turkey.
After dinner, I practically flew upstairs to get started on my diary. I found a black marker
pen to write with. Then I sat down in the new desk chair and pulled the diary out of the
drawer.
I’ll start with an introduction about how I found the diary, I decided. Then I’ll describe my
friends and me.
I opened the diary to the first page. And let out a gasp.
The page had been completely blank when I found the book this afternoon. But now it was covered
with writing. There was already a diary entry there!
At the top of the page, a date was written:
Tuesday, January 16
.
“Huh?” I squinted hard at it. Today’s date was
Monday the fifteenth
.
“This is too weird!” I said out loud.
A diary entry for tomorrow?
My eyes ran over the handwritten words. I couldn’t focus. I was too surprised and confused.
And then I uttered another gasp when I made another impossible discovery.
The diary entry was written in
my handwriting
!
A diary entry for tomorrow in my handwriting? How can that be? I wondered.
My hands were shaking. So I set the open book down on the desktop. Then I leaned over it and
eagerly started to read.
