Scarlet's Diary

Chapter 1- Sick of wealth? & Part 4- Missing school

Chapter 1

Blaze shifted uncomfortably in his seat as other girls surrounded him. He knew all too well that they were all here to fawn him. Well, who isn't? He was known as the cute guy. With a family like his, who wouldn't be a wee bit envy? A father that's a professor and a mother that's a pilot. His family earned quite alot, but that doesn't matter. Because he wasn't happy. What could a human do with that much money anyway? Squandering it all on liquor that they wouldn't drink doesn't sound great; but being happy does. Is money really  that important? Everyday, he would just walk his way home, hoping to meet kids that he could play with, but no, his house is situated at an isolated place. It wouldn't really be called isolated but its just cold; no one really cared. He couldn't be more than thankful for having at least a nice neighbour; the Richardsteins. Only they would be friendly enough to say hi, how's your day going darling? They were always so sweet, they would make you feel at home. The other people, couldn't care less. It looked like a contest to him, to see who can act like they care less, and he felt that he's always losing on the inside. Yes, he do have friends, but they were all too busy entertaining themselves with the family of their own. Do you see what he meant now? That he's not happy? I think you do. 

One of the girls was really getting on his nerves by taking advantage of him by rubbing herself on him. It digusted Blaze in just a second and he pushed her away. If that was a guy, he would've punched the living daylights out of him. But he had to constantly remind himself that that is a girl, a lady and they're all ladies and he doesn't really like ladies, or girls. He also doesn't understand women, they're kind of weird. Except Scarlet Fox. His inner voice blurted out. He had to agree to it because she was the only girl who managed to capture his heart without even trying. She's beautiful and perfect for him. He thought for awhile, am i falling in love? Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. Only time will tell.

Meanwhile in Teresa's Orphanage, Scarlet was asking herself the same question, am i falling in love? Does he like me? She had managed to claim a one day absence from school today. She wasn't feeling well; not exceptionally well and not exceptionally terrible. She was just down with a fever that she claimed was slight. But, really? 38.7 degree celcius is a slight fever? I'm not really sure about that. Rolling on to her side, her eye caught a view of a book, or her diary on the table; in a peculiar position. It was slightly opened and slightly closed, or was she seeing things because she was running a slight fever...

She reached up to retrieve it and began writing in it...

Hi, 

I managed to get a one day medical leave today. Aubee came into my room this morning because Estra told her i felt hot and she thinks that i was running a fever. Aubee was totally panicking because, well, she's just a worry-naught. She took my temperature with a termometer and said, oh dear, looks like someone has to skip school today! I smiled a little at her effort to make me feel better because i was really feeling terrible. Then when Estra and the others left for school, Aubee came in with Medicine and i had to swallow the pills whole. I remembered when i was a kid, i would refuse to eat my meds when i was sick just because it tasted bad. Well, i also remembered one day when i was watching television and i saw this commercial that came up after a detergent commercial. It was just about this kid who refused to eat her medicine and her mother would hug and tell her how strong she would become if she would eat them without her 'begging' her to. I envied that girl in the commercial for having a mother like that. I've never had a mother and i wonder how it would be like? Would she wake me up every morning by saying, wake up honey, time for school! like all the other morning advertisements? Would she send me to school with a goodbye kiss and a, have a great day, darling! Would she celebrate my birthday with me? Would we be able to countdown the seconds 'till the next year? But it doesn't matter now, does it? I'm already 15, i'm already used to life without parents. The people at Teresa's Orphanage is my family and Aubee is my mother. That's all i need and all i'm thankful for. 

Hmmm, i'm kinda feeling sleepy now 'cos of the meds and i'm going to turn in. Goodnight! Sidenote: I wonder how's Blaze doing?
