Dear Diary,
I hope no one finds you, especially my parents. I don't want any more scars on my face. I've already told you about Luka. Remember? Well, in case you've forgotten, I have a crush, a huge crush, on Luka. I don't know why, but I just do. I didn't know what to think of her at first but, while her need to say everything in a sarcastic voice can be a tad tedious, I 've managed to fall in love with her. She's so cute when she acts all flustered.
Where was I again? Oh yeah. The most amazing, tremendous, unbelievable thing happened today. Do you want to hear about it? If you don't, too bad, because I'm going to tell you anyway.
So, I was on the top of the school, eating lunch with Luka. No one else was there today, so we got to enjoy lunch quietly. Anyway, I was talking to her about a cute romantic comedy I saw. I told her about how a shy character named Kaito finally confessed to a popular girl named Meiko at the end of the movie. It was the most romantic thing I'd ever heard. The man who played Kaito was a really good actor.
Okay, back on topic. I was telling Luka this when she asked me if I wanted to confess to someone. I almost choked on my curry. I kept opening my mouth and closing it, trying to admit that I like her so much.
So what did I do? I asked her the same question, of course. She blushed and looked down at her lunch. I think I remember that she had rice balls and broiled salmon for lunch.
God, I really need to stay on topic. So anyway, she told me that she had a crush on her best friend and didn't want to ruin her friendship. I asked her who it was, causing her to gulp.
She looked me in the eyes. Her eyes are really beautiful because they shine like blue topazes. She utters one word. It's a small word, but it manages to hold so much meaning that I feel like I can write an essay about it.
"You." That's it. I smiled and put my hand on her hand, my heart beating a thousand times per second. My face heated up and, before I knew it, my lips were on hers. The kiss was short but sweet.
After a few seconds of looking at each other's eyes, we kissed again. This kiss was longer and more passionate. Thinking back on it, I'm glad no one else was there to see us.
I was surprised that her lips tasted like strawberries. I thought for sure that she'd taste like fish, but no, her lips tasted delicious. Does thinking that make me a pervert?
The bell rang after that. I finally asked her to be my girlfriend. She nodded, her smile growing bigger. Phew, I managed to tell my story without getting too distracted. That's a first.
I wonder what my parents would think if they found out about today. I wonder if Daddy would give me more scars. I wonder a lot of things, really, like why I still call Dad 'Daddy' despite being a grown woman.
I'm sick of the way Daddy treats Mummy. I hate it when he calls her a cow, or when he tries to make up for hurting her with a gift. If only I had a hundred yen for every time he buys her a present. Oh well. At least he hasn't hurt her in a while. That has to count for something, right?
No, instead he goes after me. What did I do to deserve this? I haven't told Luka about it. Not yet, anyway. I wonder how she'd react. Would she be disgusted? Would she blame it on me? Needless to say, I certainly don't want that to happen.
I wonder if Mummy knows that Daddy is picking on me now instead of her. She'd have to know, right?
I've been thinking of running away and living with Luka instead of my poisonous family. Then again, I doubt I'll be able to escape.
Wow, now I feel really upset. My happy day's just been ruined. Or has it? Love can't be ruined so easily. Not the kind of love I have for Luka.
Actually, I've just decided to live with Luka. Maybe I can get Mummy to come with me. Luka's house is pretty big, so I'm sure she can accommodate us, if only for a little while.
Okay, tonight will be the night I do it. It's now or never. Oh god, I can't even begin to describe the nervousness I'm feeling right now. Come on, Miku. You're just one phone call to Luka from being free from Daddy. Just call her already.
Goodbye, Diary. It may be some time before I can write in you. I wonder if Luka thinks of her diary as a person too.
