Our Secret Diary

Three. Diary

Another day, another school day to attend. School days are mostly boring, just learning and learning but it's NOT boring for Zee because since he left the paper that day, he keeps waiting for 'the replies' and today he will be getting the reply because there's a class shifting happened before lunch and that's the last shifting of this week, he have to wait for another 'interaction' next week.

And right now, it's the time for shifting. For some reason, Zee is pretty quick like for the past week he went out from the class like Flash, super fast that noticed by his friend, Max. The 'usual' Zee will be lazy or walk slowly when the shifting happened but now he just like Usain bold.

When they arrived at 11-3 class, he puts down his books and turns his body to the back, Zee's seat are behind him. Then he confronts Zee who already sat on his seat.

"What makes you energized these past few weeks?" Max narrowed his eyes.

Zee frowns his eyebrows, "What?"

"Dude, i noticed the change, okay. You sprinted when the bell rang when usually you're the last to come in here. So you better tell me what's going on" Max tapped his finger on Zee's desk.

Zee sighs, "There's nothing going on"

"You think i'll believe that?" Max clicked his tongue.

"Yes, and you have to believe it" Zee said it with a poker face and that scares Max.

"I'll keep my eyes on you" He keep narrowing his eyes.

"You always keep your eyes on me since we were kids" Zee rolled his eyes then finally Max stops bothering him and face forward. Zee's hand already grab the letter, almost opened it but it was stopped by Max.

Zee slowly opens the letter and reads the reply. His smile drops a bit as he reading it but he can't force if this person doesn't want talk with him face to face, it still a fortunate that this person still want to be a pen-pal.

But the other thing to take care is Max already suspicious so he need to have another way to communicate without getting noticed by others.

There's no other way than writing to communicate with 'this person' so it must need a paper but what? An invisible ink that only shown if you lit a fire under the paper? No, that way is too suspicious and dangerous too. It needs something like people can't see it, sort of confidential paper..... A privy book? Oh! A secret diary! Yeah that's what he need and there's some like lockable diary he saw at the bookstore. That must work, No, it HAS to work.

The bell rang means it's lunch time already and they have to shifts back to their original classroom again. Today's in charge for lunchtime broadcast is not Nunew so he can relax now. He and his friends enters their class and walks to their seat. Nunew sits and reach his hand under his desk to look for you know what but he doesn't find it or maybe he missed it. Nunew looks under his desk just to be sure but there's nothing there. Nunew lays his back on his chair weakly, thinking whether Zee is angry so he didn't reply? Is this the end? His lips curved downward, he's sad, he lost his pen-pal.

But it's better to lose it now rather than later when they already message a lot, but it's still saddening tho. To cure this sadness, there's only one way, which is EATING. At the same time, Nat tells him to have lunch with others and Nunew nods his head and follows his gang to the canteen.

Today's menu is Chicken Fried Rice and Beef soup, a lot of protein and this is what Nunew needs. After lining up to get their food, they sits on the empty table. When Nunew puts down his tray, he just realized that he didn't get the milk box.
