It's been two weeks since the riot, everything is back to normal. Stores, schools, & buildings have been shut down for safety reasons. The government didn't want to risk any innocent lives after the riot. So, he shut down the city for two weeks. The city is just now rebooting & getting back to their daily activities. But I can't say everything is back to normal though.  As for Jackson Productions, they're going to be shut down for a whole month. During the riot, a bunch of teenagers broke in the building & destroyed the offices. They stole some money from the vault. They even stole some of the unfinished products from the lab. Dad was furious about this, he went crazy. I could've sworn i saw smoke coming out of his ears. Him & Clark have been on the phone 24/7. Currently, he's in his office trying to track down the unfinished products. He hasn't come out of there for days. Diana tried to get him out of the office but he just shooed her off. The rest of the family tried too but failed.

As for me, i'm getting ready to attend to the boys & girls club. Today is my first day at the Minneapolis Boys & Girls Club. Latoya signed me up last week but i was put on the waiting list. I guess it's one of those private clubs. Eventually, i was picked to be apart of the club a couple days later. Am i excited about it? Eh, a little. I'm home schooled & haven't been in public school since the fifth grade. Dad thought it would be a good idea for me to learn at home instead of school. He thinks the school system is fucked up ever since hip hop became popular. (Ridiculous, I know.) But mostly because he want's to spend more time with me. Do i enjoy the home school program? Yes, i get to be alone & Clark is my teacher. So, i don't really socialize with other people or kids. But today i get to do that.

I haven't received a visit or any pop up messages lately. After the riot, everything has been pretty quiet. No news about Prince or anything. I'm starting to think this whole thing is a hallucination. What if all of this is in my head? What if i'm stuck in a bad dream & can't wake up? Or maybe i hit my head somehow & was put into a long coma? But this feels pretty real to me. I still have the chain that Prince gave me. I kept it hidden underneath my bed along with the cap & scarf. I can't risk dad finding out about it. Well, i've been wearing the scarf lately. I think i'm starting to get attached to it. Something about it makes it feel special to me. Whenever i'm wearing it, i feel safe. Like nothing can harm me at all. It's like a thousands of hugs in one. The soft fabric keeps my skin warm. Not to mention the lavender & jasmine scent, it's amazing. I washed it only one time & the scent is still there. 

"Are you ready for your first day?" Diana asked excitedly while driving. She's dropping me off at the club. I suggested Clark to take me but everyone's still pretty pissed at him for leaving me alone during the riot. (Even though he was kidnapped but that's not an excuse to them.)

I shrugged my shoulders, "I guess so."

"You don't sound excited, why?" She asked concernedly.

"I don't know honestly. When Latoya suggested it at first, it sounded like a great idea. But now i'm started to have doubts about this."

I have no problem going to the club it's just my socailizing skills. Being antisocial & not use to being around kids my age can be quite difficult. I've been around adults most of my life. Like what if these kids don't like me? What if i say the wrong thing & fuck up the whole vibe? I'm with Clark all day long & we talk about different things. We have much things in common. But that's how our special bond form. Nowadays, kids are looking for particular things in others. Popular brands, alike activities, & same birthday's. What am i suppose to say to these type of people? I talk about grown stuff. Money, business deals, products, etc. These kids don't want to hear that.
