Clarissa Del Rue's Student Guide

This is the first diary of Clarissa Rue, Daughter of Evil.

July 12th
So I have decided to start a sweet diary. I’m not gonna be all ‘Dear Diary’ this and ‘Dear Diary’ that because that’s too basic. Monsters are known to be unorthodox, and I like to be called a monster because that’s what I am. So nothing much happened today. This day might have a bit of an off vibe - let’s all hope that I find a perfect way to ask out Impert!

July 19th
I pulled along my boyfriend Impert for a scary-sweet date at the Coffin Bean. Not exactly Gruesteaus, which is kinda expensive for my liking, but it’ll do. Impert does like his coffee, after all. Did it go well? Totes-ma-ghost! I enjoyed our little hangout session so much, that I wanna do it every day. Once I mentioned that he got a little queasy, so I asked him politely to drink some more coffee. Then we took photos together, went to a theme park…ahh, how I love my Impy Wimpy so much!

July 23rd
Today me and Yolanda had the biggest ghoul fight of the millennium! Our argument was rough, tough and scary, not anything like sweet little me would be! And that Yola could scream like a banshee. So I charred one of her feet so she fell over - sweet! Eventually, it got so intense we were kicking, punching and shoving like a boxing rink. I think I might have broke my leg in the process. However, Angela Goulding got her bad side out and broke the fight up savage-style. There I saw Impert was putting his hand on his face repeatedly. I did not know what that was, but someone said it was called a ‘face-palm’.

July 30th
Today my dog Flamer had his pretty little girlfriend round and I initially thought that they’d stole some cubs. I shouted at them for, like, ten minutes straight, until Ricky interrupted bluntly and said that ‘they’d had puppies’. Whoa - am I really that stupid? I hope not. I definitely feed Flamer with the right food, and treat him as well as I can. He gets a lot of burn marks because, you know, I’m there and everything and I’m, like, the super-temperatured ghoul. Lucky that there’s water in the house. Nessa has to bathe him though. I can’t or the water gets way too hot. Ouch!

August 6th
It’s me and Impert’s half-year anniversary next week! So I have something scary-cute planned for him - a huge parade down Anvil Avenue just to dedicate us two staying together! There’s only one problem - everybody thinks that it’s a ridiculous idea. I don’t think that at all - in fact, I think Impert will adore this little dedication to our relationship. Sadly, I can’t get the Great Yola J. to do my crafting because she’s saying that she’s doing it for Lina’s little sister’s birthday (oh, and Yolanda hates me). I bet Lina doesn’t even have a little sister! Guess I have to do the crafting myself. And Fenora’s saying that she’s ALSO doing Lina’s sister’s party as well as her own, so now I have to bake the blood cupcakes. Either way, I’d do anything for my Impert. Anything except bungee jumping.

August 16th
I have spent the last three days in a sob - because my Half-Anniversary parade totally sucked! Now I feel like I’m going to be so dumped one day. I don’t wanna be dumped! That would be a voltageous fail in the relationship cards - and me and Impert were supposed to be forever…so now I guess I’m gonna be dumped now. But Impert came up to me and said he actually liked the parade a bit, so it turns out the thought does count a lot! Imprissa for the win!

August 21st
Angela Goulding came over to my house to help me with some harsh Geometry. Come on, the teachers at my school don’t always give us the beast homework. And we have to do some even in vacation. So Angela came over, you know, because she’s a math genius and all, which is pretty much a scary-cute benefit. Angie knows all about circles, squares, triangles, areas, perimeters, circumferences, symmetry…even pi! I am super-pumped to have one of my bloodies help me.

August 29th
Nessa came up to me today, with a slightly perished look on her darling face. Come on, Nessa is my BFF and everything, but she did look a bit out of fear. So we talked for a bit and she brought up that Impert went to her yesterday. And guess what she told me? She told me to tone down! I can’t believe my BFF would tell me to tone down on my sweet enthusiasm! I told her that I might as well break up with him if I wanted to tone it down that bad. I don’t think we’re on such good terms now. I don’t regret a thing.

September 2nd
Turns out I do regret ‘a thing’, so I went up to Nessa and apologised as honest as possible. She looked at me with those calm eyes and said to me, “Ere, Clarissa, I don’t mind at all. I feel exactly the same. Impert was just a bit distressed, that’s all. Don’t let that put you off him. And please stay together. I don’t want me affecting you two,” so I smiled and replied as sweet as I could take. Me and Nessa are back to BFFs again :D

September 5th
If I did indulge in my honesty, I would say that I’m glad to be back at school soon. Like, come on, nobody can just do a TTYL to classroom chaos, can they? At least I’m back to treasure my high school days with my Impy Wimpy as beast as I can! I’ll never ever want to leave him - but he’s giving off some real wild vibes lately - like he wants to leave me, but a relief shows when you’re the bigger half of the circle, right?
