Secret Diary, Entry Number 2

Last night was great, I had a new friend named Gene who would go with me and have my back with everything I did, he was chill. It's the following morning now and Mr. Prud'homme stopped by our door to question about our absence from dinner the previous evening. To avoid him getting angry at us, I started talking by saying "We had been swimming in the river," as convincingly as I could about how we had missed dinner because we had to jump from that tree and then there was my wrestling match with Gene and so on. Later on in the day I decided I’d mix things up a bit. I wore a pink shirt as an emblem and told people how it was an emblem. I got away with it; I guess I’m very good at talking my way out of trouble. Shortly afterwards at dinner, I got caught wearing my school tie as a belt which would probably be found very disrespectful. Mr. Patch-Withers’s mouth dropped when he saw it, however once again, I was able to talk my way out of any trouble. Gene looked shocked too. I’m not sure if it is because of my belt or because I once again avoided trouble.
All this time the war has been going on and just the other day we found out that the first allied bombs have been dropped. My opinion on the matter is that we should keep bombing them but not innocent people.
