Jays Pov
" Here you go Jay " Jessie said handing me a blue diary.
" A diary. Seriously ? " I laughed.
" Yes ! " Jessie snapped , I could also hear a twinge of disappointment in her voice.
Jessie was my social worker, she is lovely and even though she is kinda old , she's one of my best friends.
" I'm sorry Jessie , I just don't see what the diarys for " I said appologising.
" It's ok Jay " Jessie said gently resting her hand on my shoulder. " It was a stupid idea anyway. "
" Jessie I've known you for ... well forever really , and in that time none of your ideas have been stupid. So please tell me what the diary is for. "
" Ok " Jessie said looking proud
I loved making Jessie smile. She had it rough as a child just like me. She's the only person in this world that I can tell anything to. I love her, she's like the big sister I never had.
" The diary is for expressing things that you dont have the courage to say. You can write anything in your diary , your deepest darkest secrets and no one will ever find out. The diary isn't all about doom and gloom , write about the good things that happen or who you like or what you want to achieve in your life. The diary is your own personal space for you to write down anything to help Express yourself " Jessie said waving her arms around like a maniac.
" Wow " I said raising my eyebrows. " How much coffee have you drunk today ? "
Jessie laughed. " None Jay, I just get excited at the thought of helping you "
" Well thanks Jessie. I'll take my ' sexy' new diary and go express myself in it " I said holding back a giggle incase Jessie got offended.
" Ok Jay. Have fun " Jessie smiled.
I climbed the staircase up to my room. I went into my room closing the door behind me. I threw my diary onto my desk. I walked over to my bed and flopped down onto it. For some strange reason I started thinking about Miranda she was cool , and kinda hot.
There was a knock at my room door.
"Alex if that's you I already told you I haven t seen your stupid Pokémon card with the green thing on it "
Alex was my younger brother, well he's not my real brother , he lived at the foster home too. He is the only kid I can talk too without the urge to strangle.
" I'm not looking for my pokemon I found it. I just want to talk to you "
I leapt out of my bed and walked over to the door .
I opened the door and was greeted by Alex hugging me tightly. I hugged him back.
I'm glad I have Alex ,he makes the days spent in this awful place a little bit more bearable.
I cant wait until I'm 18 , then I'm free.
" Come on in Alex " I said ushering him into the room.
" Thanks Jay " Alex grinned running into the room and then leaping onto my bed.
I closed the door and went and sat next to Alex on the bed.
" How was your first day at normal school ? " Alex asked.
All the kids in the foster home get home schooled. A teacher comes to the foster home every day and teaches us every subject you learn at school, but because their are a lot of younger children they taught the younger children Monday - Wednesday and the older ones from Wednesday - Friday and we have a mixed class on Saturdays from 11 o'clock till 1. While the younger children were being taught we had to do our lessons online.
" It was ok, I guess ? " I said shrugging my shoulders.
" Did you make any friends ? "
" Not really. I sat next to a guy in English and he asked me if I was interested in joining the school football team." I answered.
Alex's eyes lit up.
" Wow ! Are you going to ? " he asked grinning.
" I dunno if I'm good enough." I said.
" I bet you are " Alex smiled.
" Thanks Alex " I said putting my arm around his shoulder " Hey here's an idea why don't we go outside and we can play a game of football just me and you ? " I said walking over to my wardrobe and pulling out a football.
" Umm Jay, I've never played football before it looks hard " Alex blushed.
" Its not hard , all you have to do is get the ball and kick it into the net " I explained as simply as I possibly could .
" Mmm ... I dunno ? " Alex said shaking his head.
" Come on Alex. At least come down into the garden and try, I'll show you how to play." I said smiling " I'll even go easy on you " I winked.
" Ok " Alex said grabbing the football from my hand. " Lets go play football "
" Yeah !! " I cheered.
We went out into the garden and I taught Alex how to play football. He was pretty good for a beginner.
We played for a couple of hours before we were both exhausted and hungry so we went in , had dinner and went up to our rooms and that night we both slept like babies.
