Dear Diary,

Waaa~ 19 more days and it's my birthday. Sigh. I don't know if I should be happy for that or not. Mom would always just give me money and tell me to either spend the money for myself or treat my friends. I can't blame her though. I was the one that told her not do conduct any parties. I do admit that I'm shy, but I do approach people if I need to. I just don't want to go to parties especially if my relatives are there. I am not really that close to my relatives. They always give me this judgmental look. Pfft. I know I'm ugly but really? Do you really need to wipe it on my face? I really hate it when people do that. Anyway, 19 more days to go..... :<

Love, Jung Dahee

SCENARIO:

"Mom. It's fine. You can just send me the money and I'll spend it here by myself." I retorted.

"Yah! You're turning 20 now. It has been a long time since we celebrated your birthday together with the rest of the family," she said. I only rolled my eyes in return. I'm glad she can't see it. :P

'Yeah right. I bet those people missed judging my face." I bitterly thought.

"Mom, you know I'm not a fan of humans. Just... don't. I hate those party things. I'm fine and I'll go home once I find an opportunity. Midterms is coming up and I need all the time I have to review. I can't fail." Okay, that was a lie. I didn't really have to review that much. I have no problem with my subjects whatsoever. Hahaha... Don't tell her that though.

She sighed audibly on the phone, "Okay, okay. There's nothing we can do about that. I'll just send the money later. Oh, and your father wanted to ask you last time if you even use your credit card? Are you nuts? Your father gave you that much privilege to have your own credit card and you don't use it? Pssh." She definitely sounded bitter.

I chuckled, "Usually parents would be glad if their children don't spend that much money."

"Well, not me." I can almost imagine her sticking her tongue out at me. Yes, my mom's that childish. That's why we're pretty close.

"I don't really spend much here. Plus, the weekly allowance you gave me is more than enough already. I walk to school everyday so transportation expense is not really a problem. Food and rent is the only thing I worry about here. Besides, I rarely get out of the apartment. What's there to spend my money with?"

"What about clothes and such?"

"Have you forgotten the stack of clothes you put in my walk-in-closet?"

"Oh~ Mehehe...” she mused, "Whatever. Anyway, see you later. I have to go to the salon. My hair's starting to stick out everywhere."

"Ok. Bye~"

"Bye~."

I hung up first. Sigh. I'll explain some things about myself in case you guys are confused. I probably told you this before but I'm really not a fan of humans. Back at Busan, I would always lock myself in my room when there are visitors. When it's Christmas, I don't go to my relatives' houses to take my gifts. It's either they deliver it to my house once they realize I haven't taken them yet, or they just don't give it to me. You may call me rude but that's how I am. I did tell you I have trust issues right? Well, most of my relatives didn't give me a good first impression about themselves. Some were very rude to insult me straight in the face (mostly the teens my age), some were brave enough to whispers things about me (which I can clearly hear) and some were just not my type of people the moment I saw them. You may think I have superpowers since I can read people in one glance but no, I don't have one. I can just do it since my past experiences taught me enough of what type of people are out there.
