Dear diary,

I went to school today and I wasn't happy this time. I was sad. I was very confused. Daddy was being mean to me and all my friends hated me. Nothing was the same anymore.

In the middle of storytime, the class phone was ringing and the teacher answered it while looking just at me.

She told me I had to go to the principal's office. Most of the time when a kid had to go to the principal's office, all of the other kids would go, "ooooh you got in trouble!" But it was very strange, because none of the kids said anything. Everyone stared at me and it was very quiet.

When I got to the principal's, she gave me a mean look and told me to sit.

She said that someone is picking me up and taking me to a place far from here. She said a place for "children like me" and just stared at me with a rude face. When I told her if my dad knows, she said that he was the one who told them to take me.

She said that I am a disgrace and shouldn't be around the other kids. I started crying because I knew this couldn't be real. Just a nightmare, right?

I never did anything.
