TITLE: Online Confessions of a Teenager

AUTHOR: Dream Catcher

DISCLAIMERS: I do not own Sailor Moon. However, ONLINE is a fictional website created by me. The screen names that appear in the RESPONSES TO ENTRY sections of each chapter were also pulled from the dark recesses of my mind. If you or any of your acquaintances have a screen name similar to those used, well it is a coincidence. I didn't check to see if they were taken.

A.N.: Well, I'm back. I'm sorry for my long absence. I've just been waiting for an idea to come along that sparked the same inspiration as "Mystery Valentine," and I think I've found it in this story. Hopefully, you will agree because I sincerely will try to finish this one. It is written in my favorite style, so I'm really getting into it. It is a little different from the style of "Mystery Valentine," and you'll understand what I mean when you read it.

Hello, World. My name is Bunny. Well, not really, but I do want to remain somewhat anonymous in this whole online diary thing. It would be just my luck to have someone I know offline read this thing and recognize the players in this little drama of mine. Then of course, the gossip mills will start spinning should copies of this entry be printed and passed out among the masses.

But hey, that's my life. I wouldn't be all that surprised if something along those lines does manage to happen, but that wouldn't curb the embarrassment, of course.

I guess you're a little curious to know what it is that could be so embarrassing. Well, my love life, of course. And what's so embarrassing about it? you ask. Well, there is the minor little thing of my being single. And wouldn't you know it, the guys aren't lining up outside my door. At least, they aren't lining up for me. For my sister, yes, but not for me. My dad's shotgun hasn't been polished in years.

It's sad.

I'm sad.

No, I'm pathetic, because you haven't heard the worst of it.

I am secretly in love (Well, maybe not love. Who falls in love love at sixteen?) with my sister's boyfriend.

Before you start throwing vegetables and decide to stop reading this, I need to tell you a few things about my sister. So, here's a list that I have put together to help you get an idea of who my sister is.

Top 10 Things You Need to Know about My Sister Venus (Her codename for this diary thingy)

#10. She is the epitome of every blond joke you have ever heard.

#9. She sleeps with earplugs and one of those eyes masks to block out the light, yet always manages to toss a pillow at me sometime during the night because my snoring is keeping her awake.

#8. She is older by a year. Therefore, she feels it her right to have the side of the bedroom that includes the door to bathroom, and the closet, and the vanity set, and the stereo. I, however, get the side of the room with the kitty litter box, alarm clock, and dirty clothes hamper.

#7. She can drive. I can't. This is a huge example of unjust parental dictatorship because I am old enough to get my license, too (OK, my restricted). My parents, however, think that "one of their baby girls on the road" is enough.

#6. My sister has been Miss. Crossroads High two years running. What have I been two years running besides grounded after refusing to baby sit my little brother while Venus went to a party, where there was rumored to be a keg and pot? Well, I've been winner of the school journalistic award my freshman and sophomore year. The title will be mine again this year, too.

#5. She doesn't need to wear makeup, even though she covers her face with it every morning.

#4. She's a cheerleader, and, dammit, she looks good in the skirt.

#3. She never had acne for four years of her life, like I did.

#2. She can eat as much as she wants, not exercise, and still gain absolutely no weight. I have to jog at least a mile to get rid of the calories gained from a fun sized pack of M&Ms.

And the number one thing you need to know about my sister… (Drum roll, please.)

#1. Her relationships with boys usually only last about a week.

And the number one on that list is how I justify my falling in love with Arcade Dude (Venus's boy toy). In the first few weeks of their "dating" I just assumed the relationship wouldn't continue for very long, just like the last guy and the guy before him didn't linger in my sister's self-absorbed mind.

So, I didn't stop myself from blushing whenever I answered the door and he was on the other side. I didn't think twice when I laughed at all his jokes, even if they were as corny as….what's that state that grows all the corn?

Nevermind.

The point is (Yes, there is a point.) I didn't realize it was serious between the two of them till a month passed by and he gave her a single white rose (White roses means death, by the way. I remind myself that this does not mean he's stupid, but rather, a sign that he subconsciously wishes my sister dead.) to signify the one month they had been together.

And one month grew to two, and two to three. And here we are at month four and two days, and I still have a crush on my sister's official boyfriend.

I know it's wrong. Who falls for their sister's boyfriend and still has a soul?

And I guess what I'm thinking of doing now is even more morally wrong.

Because…I'm thinking up ways to steal him.

Does that make me evil?

Heck no, girl. There ain't nothing with wanting to steal your sister's man. Go for it! Now, tell me more about this Arcade Dude.

Response: ViolinsAndBows

Well, going after your sister's boyfriend does seem somewhat wrong. But if you ask me, that sister of yours doesn't seem very nice. If you do go through with some kind of plan to try to get him for yourself, do it in a way that shows him your sister's bad side. Know what I mean? Be yourself, and get him to notice you, but not in a way that is out of your usual behavior.

What dude doesn't want two chicks after him?

Response: AniIZmyLeADer

Any guy going after your sister doesn't seem worth your time. Get over him and quick.

Get a makeover. Get a life.

Diary: Useless Information

User: GreenThumbs

I realized just now that I'm getting too old for this—writing a diary, that is. I mean, how many other nineteen-year-old males are posting diary entries on this website? I'm sure that if someone bothered to study the number of guys on this site, the numbers would be surprisingly low. Well, not surprisingly.

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed keeping up with this thing for the past four years, since that day I decided that I had to work out my problems with Stacy, the hot redhead in my sophomore science class. But I'm in college now.

Sure, I still have the everyday, run-of-the-mill problems, my annoying new roommate, Andrew, for example, who seems to be the biggest scumbag on the face of the earth. But keeping up with this diary seems to be getting harder now.

Despite, though, my age, my job as a waiter at a new local restaurant, and my otherwise demanding college courses, I think I still want to write this thing. It is a nice way to wind down at the end of the day, and sorting through my thoughts on the computer does help me sleep at night (I no longer stay up rethinking the events of the day over and over in my head in bed at night while trying to go to sleep.).

So, until I decide what to do, I guess I will continue this thing.

Now, on with my day:

Well, I must say it was rather boring today, aside from my new roomie's dating escapades.

This afternoon, he brought over brunette named Barbara, who had seen better days (at least I hoped she had) in the makeup department. I swear she looked like a skinny version of Mimi from The Drew Carry Show with all that blue eye shadow she'd painted on her lids.

"Hey, Darien, buddy, could you leave for a few minutes?" Andrew asked me over Barbara's high-pitched giggles, caused by kisses he was leaving on her neck.

After only living with this guy for a little over two weeks, I've already gotten the "drill" down. A few minutes for Andrew are the equivalent of several hours. So, I grabbed my laptop and a few textbooks and headed for the library.

You want to know the really whacked thing about my roommate? He already has a girlfriend. Some really cute, if not a little ditzy, blond named Mina. According to Andrew, they have been going out a little over four months. He keeps a picture of her beside his bed, the same bed he fornicated on with Barbara today, no doubt.

I once asked him why he cheated on his girlfriend. He had laughed as he'd said, "Mina's sweet and all, but she won't put out."

Of course, this had made me, the boy who grew up listening to every word his mother had told him about treating a lady, upset—alright, downright pissed—at Andrew.

"If all you want is sex," I had asked him hotly, "then why do you hang on to the blond?"

"Listen, what I do is my business. So butt out."

And so, when I was introduced to Mina for the first time a few days later, I had remained quite, pitying the blond. It had gone against my better judgment, my silence. But Andrew, had been right, it wasn't my business.

That was before I had gotten to know Mina. But now that I have, I can't help but feel for her because of her clueless-ness. If I had to, I'd almost say she loved him, which only makes me madder at my roomie.

Now, I remain silent for fear of hurting Mina. She's sweet even if she is a little conceited. There's a good heart in there, one that doesn't deserve to be broken by a scumbag boyfriend.

I just hope she looses interest and dumps him.

No, I'm not interested in her. That is not why I want her to break up with him. Sure she's cute and stuff, but she's just not my type. She doesn't crank my tractor, as I've heard it put before.

I just want her to dump him, and give him what he deserves: a quick right hook to the face.

So, after I left, I spent a couple of hours in the library, working on a paper for my advanced chemistry class. When that was completed, I went back to the dorm room, only to find Andrew's sock looped around the doorknob, which signified he was otherwise "occupied," if you know what I mean, which I'm sure you do.

So, I knocked on the dorm room down the hall, and asked my buddy Chad if I could crash in his room for the night.

So here I am, sitting on my makeshift bed in the floor, writing this and hoping I'll finish it at an early hour. I have to work tomorrow and Sunday, and the alarm on my cell phone is already set.

Now, I bid goodnight to you.

So long,

Darien

If you can't stand your roommate so much, can't you change dorms? Then you won't have to put up with him.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Response: IMdaManHo

Can I have Barbara's e-mail or number?

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Response: CoRnInDeEye

Maybe the jerk Andrew will get Barbara pregnant. Or maybe he'll get crabs or something. Whatever. He deserves something bad to happen to him.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Response: SpeaksMyMind

Your roommate's a jerk. If I was that Mina girl, I'd want to be told about my scumbag boyfriend. Then, I'd kick him in his balls so hard he'd never be able to use them again. Lol. You seem like a nice enough guy. If you did tell her the truth, I don't think she would kill the messenger.

Response: IH8Dis

Your roommate is an asshole.

A.N.: I hope you liked it. As always, I like you review to tell me your thoughts, idea's, and, yes, criticisms. Sorry for any, misspellings or typos. I checked it, but I was in suck a hurry to post I'm sure I missed a few things. Oh! For later chapters, I was wondering if anyone wanted to donate suggestions for screen names that could be used in later responses from the diary readers. If you have any, feel free to put them in a review.
