THE NOTEBOOK

Chapter 2

Courtney's Pov:

Where is it?" I asked, annoyance in my voice. I had just managed to turn my room upside down while looking for it.

"Where is it?" I asked again. I bring it to school everyday just in case my nosy little sister Myra gets her hands on it.

I checked the contents of my backpack again. All my notebooks were there. All my books were there. All my things were there, except for the most important thing of all.

"Myra!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. My little sister better be prepared for a little visit. I walked out of my room and headed for hers.

I slammed the door open without even knocking.

"What?" she asked in annoyance. She was lying in her bed, reading a comic book. Surprisingly, she looked innocent. Maybe a little to innocent.

"Are you just gonna stand there and look at me?" she stood up and tossed her comic book aside.

"Where is it?" I was losing my patience. Fast. "What?" she asked again, still looking innocent.

"My diary!" I yelled. "Where is it?" "You just said it yourself. Your diary," she sat down on her desk and turned her computer on.

"You lost it. Why are you asking me for it?"

"You didn't take it?" I asked, dumbfounded.

"If I did, I'd be waving it in your face right now and you'd be chasing all over the house," she looked up.

"So, you didn't take it?" I wouldn't give up.

"How many times do I have to repeat it?" she looked at me. She was obviously annoyed.

"No, I didn't." "What's going in?" my mom popped her head in the doorway.

"Nothing," we quickly replied. Without saying a word.

I closed the door of my room and sat down on the foot of the bed. Where is it? I asked myself over and over again. I didn't notice it but tears were already streaming down my cheeks. I cried. I was actually crying.

"I'm doomed," I started to whine. I flopped myself down on my bed and cried. Just cried. If someone at school found it, I'd be so dead.

Besides Xander and Trisha, Mika and Andrew are like the perfect campus couple. If everybody found out about my feelings for Andrew I'd be tagged as a boyfriend stealer, a snake, and I'll be called lots of horrible names, but I just couldn't help it.

I fell in love with him. Wait. Xander and Trisha.

Xander bumped into me back at school. My backpack's zipper was open My books and notebooks fell out He helped me pick them up I finally realized it.

One notebook was left behind. My diary. Oh, my God! Christopher Ho, the most arrogant guy at school, has my diary! Oh,
my God!

Lagot ako nito! Shit!

"One of these days" Sumasabay ako sa kanta ng dicsman.

"I won't be afraid of staying with you. I hope and I pray, waiting to find a way back to you 'cause that's where I'm home.

It was only 7:30, but I was already at school. Usually, Dumadating ako sa  school around 8:30 but today I was early, an hour early.

Kasi Xander is usually the first to arrive in our classroom, but today I was earlier.

I wanted to be the first to talk to him, and, of course, I wanted to make sure that he wouldn't tell anyone. I had formed a plan. I'd blackmail him, bribe him, even plead with so he'd keep his mouth shout.
