Esther Tejuosho I was born January 20, 2006. I migrated to America in 2007 when I was a year and three months. By the age of 6 years, my mom would take me to the library as a child. Even unto this day, I am 11 about to turn 12. I really enjoy to read, write, use my phone and draw. I used to draw a lot when I was younger and hated writing and love reading but now, I love writing and reading. My Mom and Dad kind of pass down the passion and love to write to me. I remember when I was like 4 years old, always wanting to be an author. I would sketch down a funny boring comic I drew then tell my mother I want to publish this book and she will tell me, 'Yes sure, anytime.' Later, she will ask where is that book you want to publish and I will tell her it’s in the trash. I continued writing a dumb book until, I was 8 years old. At the age of 10, summer of 2015, I started writing when my mom went out and I was in her room in her bed waiting for her to come back home then I was drawing a girl somehow, I started to write myself a little. A story about a girl, traveling but she did not want to travel so she leaves her family.

Thanks to my mom, Mrs. Tejuosho, for taking me to the library when I was about six years old and for giving me the passion to love to read. Thank you also for leading me to the children’s fairy-tale books, which I love to read until today and which also gave me great ideas, and for supporting me in every little way.

Thanks to my siblings, Samuel Tejuosho and Christina Tejuosho, for helping me finish my book and for giving me space and for not distracting me. Thanks also for keeping quiet so I could think, and for giving me great ideas for this book.

Above all, I give all the glory, honor, and majesty to the Almighty God who gave me the inspirations to achieve this lofty goal of writing this book.

Hi, my name is Keisha, and I will tell you a little about myself. I was born on February 18, 2002, in Louisiana, New Orleans. I am thirteen years old. In four more days, I will turn fourteen years old. I have a seven-year-old sister named Stephanie. I have dark-black hair with light-brown eyes, and I have light-brown skin. My whole name—Margery, my first name; Keisha, my middle name; and Undercover, my last name—is a bit weird and funny, but I like it all at the same time, for some odd reason.

Mother and Father decided to move to another state ’cause of a huge mansion they saw and liked a lot, but I was just, like, Don’t you like the mansion we’re living in now, with all our nice maids? But they all disagreed with me, and even Stephanie agreed with my parents. Uggh, what are sisters even for? I really thought for a second there that she was going to have my back, but she did not have my back. Instead, she had my parents’ back, so it was a whole mess now.

I am thirteen. My parents said that when I turn fourteen, which is in three more days, we are going to move the night after my birthday. The thing is, my parents never let me in on anything. Don’t you ever feel sad like that, anytime you start having the feeling they don’t even care about you and they only care about themselves and what they like? But that is not even the worst part about moving: I have to leave my best friends, and they are the best. I am not even ready to leave a part of my big squad, but there is nothing I can do about it yet. I guess I am just trying my best not to cry on the new, fresh diary my grandma had bought me. I am not trying to be selfish and have my way, but I grew up here in Louisiana, and I never want to leave this place.

I have not told my friends yet but will do later. We plan to meet up today, but now all I want to do is (a) get frustrated and start sulking at the wall, then cry myself to sleep or (b) slam my door to release my temper, then get a hammer to break my expensive window and jump out and run away maybe to my friend’s house. But maybe A is a little safer. I can put down my diaries and start doing my new strategy now, but all I want to really do is run away and never come back. That way, my parents will miss me and have doubts on why we need to move, and if we don’t move, will I ever come back to them, because they will really kill the lights out of me not to be sarcastic. I just want to slam my door, run away like a runaway, um … rich girl and never ever come back. But I have to remember we are sticking with plan A, so now I am going to start sulking and cry myself to sleep. Who can say writing in a diary can so make
