A Hectic Day in 2099

4/5/2099

Dear diary,

Today was the most hectic day ever.

At 9:27, the morning began with awful screeches from police robots pursuing a runaway criminal in our neighbourhood. Realizing I was going to be so late for school, I scrambled to get my things, panicking frantically, almost falling down the stairs. Remembering that we have an elevator, I raced towards it. Unfortunately, I forgot my bag so I had to run back twenty three stories as my dad was using the elevator.

Puffing like I ran 1000 km in the span of a day, I jumped into the travel pod and selected my location. It sped away like a cheetah and I arrived 30 seconds later.

Arriving just as the first period ended, school wasn’t much better. When I tried to dispute the detention punishment for skipping class, my nasty teacher harshly gave me another one.

After I found my friends walking in the corridor, I joined them and we talked the entire way so school wasn't infinitely horrible for the first time in a while. After the second period, we had a delicious lunch making my day even better.

Suddenly, like thunder, a plastic bottle hit me in the head but I didn’t see the perpetrator. Then, as I continued eating, the bully of the school started laughing. Out of rage and anger, I pelted the bottle at him striking him square in the face.

Regrettably, the teacher gave me another detention and the bully continued cackling. Staying in one room for one hour and a half after school was worse than doing handwriting practice for ten hours. Getting home at 5:00 is absolutely horrendous.

To make matters worse, I entered my house to see my parents in a corner crying their eyes out. As I saw the house trashed and destroyed, tears welled in my eyes. When I sat down next to them, my parents explained what happened. The criminal from earlier lured away the local security robots intentionally so a squad of criminals could rob everyone on the street.

Later on, we left for a large and roomy hotel. I got ready for bed, ate dinner and started writing this diary. Everything is gone but at least we have each other.
