Me And You

Emma's Diary

1) Day: 12th March 2019

A week back, there was a new admission in my class. His name was Adrian. He seemed cool. At first, no one paid attention to him. He sat in front of me. Adrian was different. Not like in a wrong way, but in the right way. He didn't care for what others thought. He was funny and had a good vibe. However, he is a talker. Every day, he used to find some topic to talk about. I hope we have a good relationship.

2) Day: 20th March 2019

Today, during the drama hour, Adrian planned a swift move against Mrs. Tracy, which resulted in her getting suspended. He designed it, and I executed it.

3) Day: 26th March 2019

One game of Truth Or Dare. Till then, I didn't have him on my mind. During the game, Adrian proposed to me like a dare. The way he said it, It's like he truly loved me. I wanted to say yes at that moment but didn't. And I don't know why but I regret it. After that, Mark asked me to confess my crush. I denied a lot until he changed the question, and If I continued to, I couldn't bear it.

I stopped right there. I saw Emma by the door and kept the book back where it was. She didn't suspect a thing.

That night, instead of watching a movie as I planned, I was writing her diary from memory. Jake kept shouting at me to turn off the lights. And I kept shouting back. For about ten minutes, Jake and I had a big fight. Eventually, I lost. For a moment, I went blank. I don't know how I lost. So I used my phone's flashlight. I didn't choose to live in a hostel. I had to. Baldwin was far from where I lived. So I stayed just like others. So did Emma. Anyways, I read her diary, and I never realized her point of view until then. Most of what she wrote is a brief description of what I wrote previously. So If you want, you can skip the first few parts.

4) Day: 31st March 2019

I'll never forget this day. It's the day my dream came true.

Mrs. Tracy got dismissed. All thanks to me... and Adrian. It was his swift plan that helped. And for that, I'll be really thankful.

5) Day: 2nd April 2019

Something unexpected happened today. Adrian took me out backstage and proposed to me. I said, yes. It was like he read my mind. This proposal was something I hoped to do. But I could never, not without the courage he had.

6) Day: 4th April 2019

Today was magical. It was like fate had a hand in this. Most of the teachers were on leave today. The whole day was ours. We had a blast. Adrian is much better than I expected. But I kinda ruined it in between by cracking lame jokes. I hope he didn't mind them.

There was a long gap after that. She didn't write anything.

7) Day: 15th May 2019

I didn't expect this from Adrian. Out of all the people, he had to be the one. Today, as I came back from the canteen, I overheard Adrian talking to Jake. At one point, he mentioned my name. This piqued my interest. But I wish I hadn't heard it. It broke my heart. I mean sure, my performance was shitty, but at least he could've told me. Instead, he decided to bitch about it to others.

I knew she cried when she wrote the last one. When I read that page, I saw a dried up mark of a water droplet. I didn't read after that. That's when Emma came.
