Claire Sweetdude is my mother. I still can't believe it. Claire, my mom, has a somehow magical diary?! And she didn't tell me about it?! I'm crazy. I wonder why she kept it here, of all the other possible places.
I wonder.....
"Catherine! Where are you?" A voice yelled from downstairs . It's my mom. Maybe she needs help with setting the table. I stood up. How long have I been here? More than an hour, that's for sure.
"Yeah, mom?"
"I need you to help me with some cooking for dinner and setting the table. And don't yell, come down from wherever you are."
She was the one who started yelling in the first place. I grabbed the diary and passed by my bedroom before going to the kitchen.
Where should I put it so that Mom won't see it?.... Ah! The box under my bed, she never looks under there.
I bent down and saw something shiny. Another gem? Yeah, a ruby. Again. How come I've never noticed it before?? Or maybe it's magical and it just appeared now? Or maybe I'm crazy? I'll go with crazy.
"Catherine!! Get down here this instant!!" She yelled even louder than awhile ago.
"Okay, mom. I'm coming!!"
I put the gem in my pocket and went downstairs.
"Catherine! Where have you been?"
"Uh...in my room. Talking to...Joan! Yes, Joan." I'm the worst liar ever. My mom gave me a strange look. I thought she will say ,"You're lying aren't you?"
But she stayed silent and said instead ,"Okay, can you help me with cooking? Can you make three scrambled eggs while I get James? He's upstairs sleeping."
"Okay, sure." She nodded and went upstairs, her heels clacking on the hollow stairs.
I took the spatula from the table. I was about to get the frying pan when the spatula fell. Weird. I didn't even hit it. I bent down to pick it up. Beside the spatula was ANOTHER gem. Yes, a ruby. AGAIN. This gem is just bigger than the last one I found. What's up with these rubies I keep finding??? Is the diary magical or am I crazy? Yeh, I'm crazy.
I'm wasting time, Mom should be here anytime, and I haven't cooked anything.
I made my cooking faster than usual. The whole time I was cooking, all I was thinking about was the diary.
What would I be reading? Will my life be in danger if I read it? Is it magical? What's a takinyo?? Why....
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud crying. James is here.
"Shhh....shh....dont cry, James." Mom said while swaying James in her arms. It doesn't work. He cries even more.
"Mom, let me try?" She nodded, and gave James to me. I took him, and said nothing, just swaying him.
For some weird reason, he gradually stops crying and smiles at me.
"I'll never understand why he stops crying when you're around." Mom said.
I laughed. "Ha...! I dont know. "
"Let's start eating? Oh, wait, I'll get the highchair for James."
We started eating, and Mom fed James since he didn't know how to eat yet.
Mom was talking about something about school or whatever, I didn't hear what she said. I was too wrapped up on my discovery in the room.
"Cath?"
"Hmm..? What?"
Mom laughed, "I was asking about how your school was."
"Oh, uh.. School? Fine, I guess."
"How's your grades? Any difficulty?"
"My grades? Oh it's fine. I'm an excellent student, remember? Grades are a peice of cake in my life. Everything is."
For some reason, Mom looks amused. "Oh, I'm sure you'll encounter something hard to tackle." I knew she wasn't talking about my grades, nor my school. Something else?
"What do you mean, Mom?"
"Oh, you'll see. One day, you'll understand." Mom smiled, like she knew something I don't.
"Understand what, Mom?"
"Oh Cath, you are always so curious. Anyway, how is Joan?" Changing the subject, huh.
At first I forgot who she's talking about. Then I remembered, Joan, she's my best friend since 2nd grade.
"Joan? She's okay, her grades are higher than last year's."
"That's good." Awkward silence comes, and we eat in without talking.
Finally, after dinner and washing the plates is done, I walked up to my bedroom and continued reading the diary. I'm sure this will be interesting.
(Ello, people! So....this is longer than the first, and I updated two chapters in a day... So far how do you like it? Please comment and keep reading!)
