The Journal

Chapter 2

Manami POV

Journal entry no. 77, page 119    Weather: Cloudy

                “Summer break is finally over, and I’m just in time to submit my novel! And guess what! I won! YAY!!~ ( ^3^ ) The committee told me that it’ll be on stores this coming Winter. Come to think of it… it’s the first day of Autumn!!!~ Weeee~! >.< I can’t wait. Sorry for my childishness! :3

                I met this guy in the Literary Convention, his name is Ryuu Egashi and he is very skilled in painting. His masterpiece won too. At first, I thought he’s ignorant. His face gives off a dark aura like he doesn’t have a single care in the world. But his actions are completely opposite, he is always smiling and somehow, energetic. Hope I won’t have a first bad impression on him -.- Oh well~ It’s back to school and I need to go now… ja nee! ^^ ~end.”

[ ja nee = later/bye ]

Writing in my journal became a habit every morning before going to school. I was inspired by my English teacher. She said that, if we write what we see and experience while we’re still living, the people of the next generation will see these journals and they’ll be able to know about our world today.

SOUNDS DEEP HUH!? XD

I placed my journal in the back-most part of my bag, covered it with notebooks and headed out.

I just love our uniform… Look. It’s not what you think. Not because the skirt is short or anything… It’s comfy ~ -3-

I got out of the house and it’s already chilly. WINTER! COME SOON. -3-

My mom decided to send me to the nearest middle school in our town; she keeps on worrying about me whenever I leave the house. Moms -.- I’d be happier if I can ride a bicycle to school. But… too bad, I don’t even know how to drive one. Guess I’m walking…

AT SCHOOL

I entered our ever noisy classroom… I kinda miss this place too. -_____-

“Manami!!!” It’s my best friend, Yrah. You read that as Eerah.

She pinched my cheeks so hard that they turned red

“Why do you always do that!??” -_________-

“Hehe ^^V Gomen~” >> Yrah

[ gomen = sorry ]

As soon as our teacher entered the classroom everyone rushed back to their places.

TRANSFORM! -3-

“It’s nice to see you again. By the way, we have a transfer student from Seito University, Mr. Egashi, please come in.” >> Teacher

What did he just say? Egashi!? Sounds familiar -_____- this doesn’t look good.

The transferee student stood on the podium with a smile on his face. O.O Areeeeee!?

It’s Ryuu Egashi! O.O Whaaa!?? He’s looking at me.. Hope he won’t recognize me T^T I just looked to my left- outside the window on the very last row. XD

Cliché.

My classmates kept on murmuring…

“Isn’t that a private school for talented people?”>> classmate

“Really?! Why did he transfer to a public school?”>> classmate

"He's so cute ^^" >> flirty classmate

Blah blah blah blah~~~~

He walked towards the vacant seat to my right.
