Dear Diary,
Hello Diary! My name is Sa Ra . My mother gave you to me as a present for being a good girl and not crying like my brother and sister for moving to Busan. I miss my friends a lot, but I can't cry because my mom has enough to deal with raising us alone. I like it in Busan anyways! The ocean is close enough to our house for me to go there whenever I want and the other kids in the neighborhood look really nice. A few girls next door said I could go play with them if I wanted but I told them I had to unpack all of my stuff. They seemed real nice though. One kid wasn't so nice. When I was walking back into the house a group of boys ran by on their way to the park. The smallest of the group, I think he was my age, he ran by me and knocked me over! I fell on the grass but it still hurt and he didn't say sorry. Boys are big dummies. Anyway I should keep unpacking.
Bye,
Sa Ra

Dear Diary,
Hi Diary, it's been a while. I've been unpacking and my room is finally done! Hey Diary, you remember that boy I told you about. The one that ran into me. His name is Hodong and he's six like me. He's really weird. Everyday I see him from my window, running with the older boys. He has a different ball with him every time. Today was a soccer ball, yesterday a basket ball, and the day before that he was carrying a bag full of baseballs. I've never seen a boy run after his hyungs like that. He's always out of breath trying to keep up with them and they always make him carry everything. Weird kid, I would have just dropped there stuff and gone to play by myself. Anyway I should go to sleep now.
Bye,
Sa Ra

I FINALLY TALKED TO HIM DIARY! I talked to the Ho Dong boy! He was walking back home from the park at the same time that I was walking home from EunJi's house. He was alone instead of with the older boys and I saw him carrying a deflated volleyball and with a black eye and bloody lip. I wasn't going to talk to him at first because I still didn't like him, but then I saw him cry.
And so begins an interesting friendship.
