Dear diary,
I can't sleep. All I keep thinking about is what happened today. I can't get it out of my mind no
matter how hard I try. Does it mean something? It has to! Jin couldn't have done that if it didn't
mean anything could he? No. He's not like that. He's a really nice guy and I think it really meant
something. Could it? But what if it doesn't? I have to get this down and out of my head or I'll go
crazy! I can't tell Miharu, she'll squeal it to Hwoarang, and he'll tell the whole world about it! I
have to tell Panda the minute I get the chance. Okay, it all started after school. Jin and I started
training as soon as we got to the mansion as usual. Jin was acting stranger than usual. He seemed
to be thinking about something. Every time I asked him what was wrong, he would just act like
he didn't even hear my question. That or change the subject. He also seemed to be going REALLY
easy on me today, which absolutely ticked me off! Every time he does that, it makes it seem like
I'm just another weak scrawny girl whom he has to go easy on. Well, he seemed to be his normal
"strange" self when Heihachi entered the room. Jin was the first to land a punch, as usual. When
it was my turn, it took me about 27 minutes. That's 12 minutes earlier than last time! I was doing
great. Maybe it was the fact that Jin was waiting for me. After training, he would usually just go
straight to bed, but this time he stayed. I could see him out of the corner of my eye examining me.
It was my chance! I guess I felt like it was my chance to prove to him that I was stronger than he
thought! It worked. Heihachi even congratulated me on a job well done. Then he left. After wards,
I got my towel and covered my face. I removed it and saw Jin just starring at me. I asked him
why he was still there and he said he was going to walk with me back to my room. I really didn't
think too much of it because Jin HAD to walk me to my room everyday after dinner. I guess it was
Heihachi's way of keeping him a gentleman. The thing was that this was the first time he had done
this after training. I thought it to be one of Heihachi's orders. While we walked back I asked him
if it was Heihachi's request. He simply said, "No. I wanted to". I told him he didn't have to, but
he said that he wanted to. By this time I began to think. We came up to my door. I said goodnight
to him and he smiled. I love it when he does that! Then before I knew it, he was moving closer to
my face! The next thing I knew, his lips where up against my cheek. It made my heart pound so fast.
It was my first kiss even though it was on the cheek. Then he said goodnight. I couldn't move my lips.
I guess I was too shocked to do so. He simply smiled and said, "See ya on our date tomorrow". Date!
He called it a Date! Well, I'm happy to say, I had no regrets on who
kissed me. I wouldn't mind if he had kissed me on the lips, because you see, I think I like him…a lot.
Well, I feel much better now. I think now I'm becoming more aware of how I feel. Well, I'm worn out. Good night.
Love,
Ling Xioayu
