It should be forbitten to read someone else's diary, even if it's lost.
January 7th[]
OMV! It feels like ages since I’ve written in my diary. Unlife has truly been busy these days and I’m barely keeping up. I’m sure my face looks like I’m 2000 years old instead of 1600. I pulled an all-frighter working on my article for the Monster High newspaper, The Gory Gazette, about new trends in vegetarianism, including plant-based meat. I’ve been making fangtastic recipes with Boo-yond Meat and Grim-possible Burgers, though finding taste testers has been a bit of a challenge. My boyfriend, Clawd Wolf, is a werewolf who loves his steaks rare and won’t come over near my new recipe for Grim Ghoulash, and Count Fabulous, my best bat friend, prefers bugs over veggies. That leaves my Father, Count Dracula, the world’s most famous vampire and lover of all things blood. He doesn’t understand my vegetarianism and at least once a year, I get “The Talk”. Basically, he believes I need to give up being a vegetarian because it is unnatural and un-monsterlike. So the day he eats one of my recipes is the day I eat double meat screechza with Clawd. Yuck.

Yesterday’s Fearleading practice was scarier than Father’s fashion sense. Cleo de Nile was in a monstrous mood and I don’t know who got her all unraveled but we all paid dearly for it. Nobody could understand her complicated fearamid routine and we all ended up in a huge heap. Cleo suddenly announced that we’re going to hold a fundraiser for new Fearleading uniforms and needed ideas. I thought we could do a plant-based bake sale but the squad didn’t seem too enthused and so we decided to do a fashion show instead. That’s too bad, the scarrots in my garden would be great for a homemade scarrot bread! Maybe Father would enjoy that instead. While my BFF, Clawdeen Wolf, was here studying after school, I started a new recipe for Boo-yond sliders with beefsteak tomatoes. Father walked in while I was pulling them out of the skillet and the whole kitchen was super smokey. I tried to get him try one along with Clawdeen but I might as well have offered him stake-skewered garlic kebabs! He walked out with his fangs bared but I did catch Clawdeen sneaking a second bite. Hehe, I might just get her to join Team VAMP (Vampires Advocating Meatless Proteins), after all.

I’m still really confused about what happened today. The day started off perfectly fine until Fearleading practice was suddenly canceled. We were supposed to talk details for the fashion show, but Cleo was nowhere to be found. I headed to the Maul with Clawdeen and Frankie Stein to scout outfits for the show and meet Clawd in the Food Corpse for a quick bite. The Food Corpse is so lacking in vegetarian options but they do have really good screechza and spookochinos, so I don’t mind it too much. Anyway, we found this fangtastic boo-tique that had creeperific looks and scarecessories. I wish I could point my Father in the direction of this store. He’s constantly buying me clothes that were in when he was 1600 but I wouldn’t be caught alive in. Anyway, I met Clawd afterwards in the Food Corpse and he was in such a weird mood. He got really cagey when I mentioned Cleo’s mood lately and our canceled practice. He quickly changed the subject to my article for the Gory Gazette, so I know something’s wrong. The day Clawd wants to talk the protein count in kidney beans is when I know something’s wrong. We basically drove home in silence and he gave me a quick kiss and drove away. Something has got that wolf’s fur all ruffled and I intend to find out what it is.

Normally Clawd will wait with me after school before I attend the Gory Gazette staff meeting. But today he disappeared as soon as as the bell rang! I got this really cryptic message from him on my iCoffin about not being able to make it and he would catch up with me later, but he never did. I was in such a bad mood, Father gave me a little kiss on the forehead after he pointed out the grammatical errors in my article. What is going on?

Oh my ghoul! Father is in a fearious mood tonight. Turns out, he ate my leftover vegan vampire chili and didn’t realize it until I went to eat to eat it for dinner! It was super spicy and totally vegetarian, two of Father’s pet peeves. I apologized profusely for not properly labeling it, but it was too late. I got treated to a mini version of “The Talk” and had to promise to keep my “experiments” on my side of the fridge. Honestly, I think he’s just mad he actually enjoyed a vegetarian meal. There wasn’t one drop of chili left!

I WISH I COULD CRAWL BACK INTO MY BED AND START THIS DAY OVER. I don’t know what happened but somehow my vegetarian trends article didn’t save on my computer and now I have to rewrite the whole thing by tomorrow afternoon! Frankie is feeling zapped because the 3Scream printer she invented to make clothes for the fashion show is not working. The show and Frankie are literally falling apart at the seams and to make matters worse, Clawd is still being weird! After the day I was having, I had enough and called him out on his behavior. I told him it’s not okay for us to keep secrets from each other and asked him to tell me what’s going on. He refused to tell me what was wrong, only that “it’s private and he made a promise to keep everything under wraps." I got so mad, I stormed out of the creepeteria and ran crying to my locker, totally ruining my makeup. Thank ghoulness Frankie helped me fix my face before class. Even if I could see my reflection, I would have been too teary-eyed to care. I hate fighting with Clawd, especially when I don’t even know what we’re fighting about.

Last night was so crazy, I didn’t even have the energy to write in my diary or look at the collection of bugs Count Fabulous gathered to cheer me up. It all started with Clawd leaving me a note on my locker, asking me to meet him after school. We hadn’t really hung out since that day I confronted him in the creepeteria, so I was a little shocked to see the note. I gently tucked it into my notebook and walked to class with Clawdeen, who thankfully didn’t ask too many questions. Then, Fearleading practice was canceled again and Cleo was nowhere to be found. Cleo never misses a chance to boss us around, let alone cancel practice two times in a row. Even though I was still feeling really down, I convinced the other ghouls to put together a scare package and take it over to Cleo, who obviously needed some cheering up. Clawdeen must have noticed my mood, because she didn’t growl too much and decided to tag along. Since we were going to go to the de Niles' after school, I wasn’t going to be able to meet Clawd. Part of me felt horrible but the other part was just too upset with him to care. After gathering a few of Cleo’s favorite things, we landed on her doorstep and the minute she opened the door, I could tell this wasn’t a royal tantrum. Something was definitely wrong. She explained that she and Deuce broke up and while Deuce seemed to be doing just fine, she couldn’t bear to face anyone at school. My heart was breaking for her. I hate to see any monster heartbroken, but then she mentioned Clawd! She looked at me and said, “Deuce told Clawd about our breakup and we both asked him to keep this under wraps. Draculaura you’ve got a great boyfriend, we’ve been driving him crazy.” I didn’t even stay to hear the rest of her story. I ran out of there and immediately called Clawd to meet at the Coffin Bean. The second he showed up, I ran and gave him the biggest hug and apologized for being so batty! He looked really sheepish and apologized too. He hated keeping anything from me but he gave me his word. I held my hand up to his cheek snuggled into his fur as he wrapped his arms around me. Last night was the first good night’s sleep I’ve have in a while. Thank ghoulness everything is back to normal!

The fashion show was a total success! Cleo and Frankie worked together to get the 3scream printer up and running and we were totally able to save the show! It was all claws on deck to pull this show together and it couldn’t have gone better. Even Cleo and Clawdeen worked together to quickly design our looks, which is like trying to mix oil and water or get Father to eat another bowl of veggie chili, hehe. I have the best BFF in the world! Clawdeen totally put together a fangtastic look for me and I can’t stop vamping over it. I mean only a truly fashion furward mind could think of mesh sleeves that double as a fashion statement and UV protection! When I walked the runway, the students of MH went totally bats, even Headmistress Bloodgood gave a little nod of approval! But the best part of all? At the end of the runway was my clawesome boyfriend waiting for me with the prettiest nightshades and the most goregeous bouquet of blood oranges I had ever seen. Cleo was right, I really am the luckiest monster ever!
