Dear Die-ary...

I went into the skool library today. I wanted to get out a horror book with small print, as I'm long sighted and so I can't really read big print. Anyways, after long searching for a book, and only managing to find Dracula, Frankenstein, and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, which I've got, I managed to find one. It was The Shining. I've always wanted to read that book, and now I had the chance to get it. So I bounded up to the desk, and handed it over to be scanned. She asked me the regular questions, Name, and to put my finger on the pad. Then she asked my year, and if I've read S.King's books before. I thought, "What the Hell..." and before long, she broke the silence of the library, "I don't think you should read this book." I felt all eyes burning into the back of my head. And to unbalance that sensation, was the woman at the desk's cold staring eyes, in a fixed position on me. I pondered her comment. Then she said to me, "I think this book would be too scary for you, feel free to give it back if you get too scared." I know I look like a 12-year-old, but I'm actually a 14-year-old in year 10. I just said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah..." And tried to free my book from her grasp. I succeeded at last, and before I left, she shouted after me, "Tell your parents you've got that book." This is coming from a woman who gives 'racy' books to year eights (12-year-olds).
