Dear Diary,
I just got you yesterday. I found you when I was dusting. I knew it was for me because it said To Kasey Gardner. That's me. Kasey Gardner. I am a Maid. A Maid for the queen of Alamack. That's where I live. Alamack is an island nobody has heard of. I and many others are maids of queen Juzelle of Alamack. We may have weird names, but weird things do happen. Yesterday we got this new guard named Blue Jay. I don't think we can trust him. He never looks you in the eye, and he never takes off his helmet. Weird. I just wanted to let you know, that maids are no where near slaves. Maids are treated better, but we aren't free. We learn to read and write, but we don't have regular life, the children and me, who are under 10, don't get any toys. No playtime, nothing for little 9 year old Kasey Gardner.
Today I also got a new dress! It's purple and has flowers on the apron. It's my first dress that I received as a gift! My others are hand me downs. Josie to Sew made it for me. Josie is her real name. Josie to Sew is her career name. I don't have one yet. You get your career name at 10 years old. I am only 9. Tomorrow I get to dust the queens chamber. Not so fun, but I love to see her jewelry. So pretty. Well, I must go, its nearly after 10 P.M.. Good night, and see you in the morning.... hopefully.
