Yesenia created this story after reading the Graphic Novel of Anne Frank’s Diary.
Day 1
My family was forced into hiding for being in the place with the highest infection rates, America. If we showed our faces ever we would be killed. So we went into a secret place in Tokyo, Japan. Some Japanese folks there took pity on us Americans and gave us a private jet to take there. The secret place was something like the Annex but way bigger. We had to be careful to not make much noise so the police couldn’t hear us. For our meals, we are going to have anything that our helpers have for us so it will be mostly fish. And there was bubble gum, can you believe it!?
Day 30
Today we are having our first day of school, it is hard doing school without making noise. I usually mistake a word when I am learning Japanese because I can barely hear it! Math is easy for me, spelling is ok and history is hard. I hope this doesn’t last long.
Day 40
Today we get to watch a tv show, we get to watch only one show one day of the week. Hiding in the loft is NOT fun so this is the most fun we have. The thing is they go so fast. I wish that it could feel like the show is two hours.
Day 50
The hiding spot is boring! The only thing that would make it not boring is friends! It is scientifically proven that friends make everything fun! Plus my friends are super special to me, I don’t like not seeing them. But drawing keeps me entertained but I would like to have friends with me, welp see you another day.
Day 60
Corona SUCKS! Where do I even begin? We can’t go outside, we can die, we have to wear itchy masks, we can’t contact friends cause police, AND WE STILL HAVE TO GO TO SHCOOL! But there are some ups. I can finally get my space and have quiet time but that’s all. Man, not too many pros and a lot of cons.
Day 70
Today is Christmas and we are allowed to let one friend over for a sleepover. My one friend choice is Penelope who is also hiding in Japan. This will be so much fun we are going to watch my neighbor Totoro and eat popcorn and open up presents on Christmas morning. It will be really fun, this will be the best day ever!
Day 90
We are getting a pound of sugar today our helpers (who names were Ying and Yang) got us some at the black market. This is super exciting we are all going to bake something with it. I made brownies and my brother made a cake. This is so lucky and so tasty. Uh oh, I think I have a sugar rush WHEEEEEEEE!
Day 100
Yesterday a new family will be staying with us. They are the Charlie family. They have a daughter named Marie, she lives in Wisconsin and loves to play pranks. Me and her become fast friends, we love to play pranks on our parents, draw and talk. We love to talk, we talk, and we talk, that’s a whole lot. We talk about cats, piggy, treats, and movies, we have so much in common. This is a great upside to hiding.
Day 188
I am going insane! I have been caught hitting my head against the wall, not going to sleep and mumbling. I hope I can snap out of it I am pretty sure I will.
Day 200
WE CAN FINALLY GO! Scientists have found a vaccine and are giving them out. I am so glad I really wanted to breathe fresh air, read a book, and see my friends again…..and also play Roblox, piggy, and watch YouTube. Welp, I am glad this is all over, goodbye.
THE END
