Read this chapter with the music "Somebody to Love" by Justin Bieber featuring Usher. It's optionally, really, but if you want to read it along with music, it's more fun.
Yeah, I do that a lot. Asking you to listen to music while reading my stories. I just love listening to music, and I often listen to it while writing, so it's a force of habit.
After "Das Boots"
Cody's Point of View:
I sat down on my desk, exhausted from the chess competition that Marcus won, which annoyed me so much. I searched through my desk drawer, relieved that my diary was there.
Well technically it wasn't my diary; since it only was filled with my thoughts about Bailey, but I was somewhat involved in it, making it somewhat mine….
I opened it and took out the locket, which was in my other pocket across from my baby blanket. I had two lucky charms, which is why I should have won the match, since I told Marcus where to put the piece.
I pushed that thought away from me. I felt guilty because I thought my opponent was attracting, but it was revenge on Bailey's encounters with Moose.
But I didn't have any solid evidence that what I thought actually happened, which made me even more guilty.
I picked up my pen, and opened the book.
Remember, pretend this is a sort of message you want to give to Bailey one day…maybe on the graduation day…slip it in her backpack..
I smiled at the thought, and began to write.
Dear Diary,
I miss her a lot. I kept picturing her face on Sasha's. I guess that's why I was so freaked out. Bailey always wins when we play any kind of game. Literally. She beat me in EVERYTHING.
Which irritated me, but then it all worked out in the end. She's going to come back next week, and I'm scared that I'll run up to her. Better start practicing.
Won't work anyhow, though.
I wonder what she meant by the text. I hope she's enjoying it there. Here on the ship, it's a little tenser without her bubbly personality.
Of course, never is it directed to me, but it affects the mood of the boat.
Zack got stuck in London's submarine, along with Maya, London, and Woody, and made us swear not to tell anyone, even Bailey.
I think Zack really likes Maya. He has the same look in his eye when he sees her like when I see Bailey way back when.
I hope I still don't do that. It'll blow my cover.
Wait…maybe I could win her back! Maybe….back at her hometown, some plowing and harvesting, even though it's EXTREMELY bad for my fragile spine.
As long as I get her back, I don't care if I'm in a hospital bed with twisted limbs for life.
I hid the book as soon as I hear Woody coming.
"Hey Cody, got any batteries?" Woody held out his turkey leg turner.
"Yeah, over here." I pointed to a separate drawer, sliding my other hand into my secret hiding place, putting the diary inside,out of Woody's sight.
