On The Inside
Chapter Two: Armpit
Man, this is such crap. Why should I gotta write in this stupid thing just
'cause some fool who calls me Theodore want's me to?
Only two people can call me Theodore, and that's my Mum and my Old Man.
Caveman tried it once and almost got his face smashed in, but that was
before he left. Went to look for Zero probably. Maybe he found him... but
like X-Ray said: "Yeah, and maybe the tooth fairy and the easter bunny are
real." And Squid said something about his Ma and Dad, but I wasn't
listenin' properly. Too busy dreaming of ice cream. Man, I'd kill for ice
cream right now.
Hm. X told me that something's up with Squid, said he was acting weird,
exercising and stuff when he didn't need to. I duno. Anyway, it ain't my
problem. Squid can work out if he wants. I don't see anything wrong with
it. Maybe the stress of being leader is affecting X-Ray. He does seem kinda
run down, like he's got somethin' on his mind, but it ain't like the
almighty X is gonna lower himself to our level to talk to us so it's better
to just leave him alone --
Zig just walked in. Had to hide the diary before he saw it. Imagine what
they'd say if they knew I was actually writing in this. Anyway, he's gone
now. He was looking for someone called Bubblegum. Dunno why they'd be in
here, there ain't no Bubblegum in D-Tent. Maybe Zig's losing it.
You know, I'm probably the only one whos actually using these diary
things... I guess I wont be using it much longer though. I'm just doing it
to pass the time. In a few days I'll have other things to do. Like watch
TV, or listen to music, or eat ice cream! It's hard to believe my two years
are up. It didn't seem like it would ever end, like I'd be stuck here
forever.
Maybe... maybe I'll take the diary along. Something to remind me of D-Tent,
'cause even though they can be jerks, I think they're kinda cool.
This diary is still stupid though.
To be continued...
Next: Squid!
