I had hoped my awful first day was not a sign of things to come but that appears to be wishful thinking. Today as soon as I got to school I saw some of the other kids watching me and whispering where i could not hear them. I did not understand what it was that I could have done until someone showed me a copy of the school newspaper and a ghoul named Spectra posted a column about me.
I was so mortalfied to read that apparently Cleo and I are from warring families and my sole reason to attend Monster High is to supplant her statue in the name of my mother's kingdom. I could not believe this! My mother and Cleo's father have never even met! Two days ago was the first day that I even laid eyes on this ghoul! And now supposedly we are on opposing sides of a family war?
How she can claim to have 'reliable sources' in regards to her article astound me. I have never spoken to this ghost ghoul and now if she ever crosses my path, we will have words. I do not appreciate her using my family in fanciful tales to better promote her own interests! I have half a mind to approach Headmistress Bloodgood about this and ask why this charlatan is allowed to post such lies in the paper that represents the school!
I feel so horrid now and wish I could just go home. I should be used to being alone from the company of other kids but here I am, in the middle of such a grand school, and yet never have I felt lonelier.
