7 January

Dear Kitty,

Daddy and Mommy what me and Striker to stop being friends! They said he might be my mate when I'm older, and they wouldn't like that…I don't even know what a mate is!? Kitty, days are growing short, I'm always crying because of there fighting, but now I'm crying not tears, but streams of sorrow!

I always wanted to know why we cry. I guess I found out, it's because something we cherish is going wrong! I don't want to stop being friends with Striker! Were best friends! Oh Kitty, what should I do? I guess things can't go as it is. I hope everything goes right tomorrow…

Yours Channel

As she closed her diary and went to bed, a little twitch came from the book. It quietly opened as it flashed on the word "Right". It stopped and then closed revealing a small printed picture of Spyro and then vanishes.

As the day went by, Channel's wish has gone miserable. She goes to school to see her friend, Striker, sitting on a log. He jumps off and then looks at Channel with blaze in his eyes. He runs off as she follows. He stops and so does she. He looks at Channel, "What are you following me for? Shouldn't you be at school…?"

"Striker…" Channel said heavenly, "What's up with you? Your not always like this?"

"I changed, and so should you…" Striker said and left. She felt a great pain in her heart from what he said. She walked to school to find it even more wrong! The kids were all glaring at her, smirking and gossiping. Soon once it was break, her friends were all against her. School was over, and her parents were once again fighting. Channel listened quietly as they spoke.

"If she wants to—"her mother said,

"If she doesn't that boy, Striker, he'll be our Son-in-law!" Her father argued,

"But—what if Channel meets someone in the future!?"

"There won't be a future for her…"

"Yes there will! I know it! You just can't understand it that way!"

"Were still 20—Channel is at least 6, if she's like us then…"

"No…she won't…I know her!"

"We were 14, we didn't know…and now we do…do you think she won't be curious!?" Channels mother stood quiet, not making a single sound. Channel went into her room, pulling out her diary. She opened it and began to write…once again.

8 January

Mommy and Daddy talk really weird. Then again, there Mommy and Daddy. Well School was a disaster. Striker, I feel bad he doesn't have a place to go to school. His parents even left him alone! He said they just hated him, others say he must have been a drag, and the elders say his parents could have sacrificed them selves for him.

I have nothing else to say Kitty, but that I am a bit curious of what Mommy and Daddy had said. What did they mean? And what is a mate? Well, if it is like calling someone a mate, then what does it mean? Hello? Goodbye? Since I got lots of work to do, I'll scribble this. Just don't read it till tomorrow! 'K?

Yours Channel

[Channel Wrote "When the Sky is Blue, I feel happy, and when it turns black, it makes me sad"—don't tell, but when I say it, it makes me feel as if Strikers there beside me. And makes me feel a warm glow inside.

BYE-BYE KITTY!

Short once again, but must say that in this chapter, I think it got a bit over board...
