Nichole: Thanks everyone for your reviews! I will keep on going and hopefully, more reviews will arrive.

Michelle: As if…

Nichole: Shut up, Michelle. MPV, why don't you use your muses?

Serra: Ya, why not???

MPV: It's not necessary…

Serra: What kind of a lame answer is that????

Nichole: Oh well, let's just continue with the story. Enjoy!


Day 5

Mood: Really Happy

Location: In my bed

There's a knock on my door again. It can't be Lord Uther since he already visited me this morning, asking it I was ok. Of course, I was stubborn and said I was perfectly fine. He told me that I was lying because nobody is perfectly fine when they barely bite their tongue. I was so angry at this that I started shouting at him that it wasn't the tongue that I was upset about and that it was something else. Lord Uther urged me to tell him the reason why I am so upset then. I wanted so much to tell him. To tell him about Erk, and Priscilla, and all my problems with Sain. But I couldn't, I didn't trust him enough to tell him. So I just started sobbing on my pillow as he left the room.

Like I expected, Oswin was the next one to enter my room. He gave me another lecture that I shouldn't shout at Lord Uther and the same thing he always talk to me about. I hated when he does that. Is there once that he doesn't come in and lecture me about this and that??? I am not perfect for Elimine's sake!!! Oswin, after an hour of lecturing, walked out the door as well.

Matthew was the next one to came by my room. Matthew is also my roommates. I am so unlucky. Why are all my roommates guys??? Matthew is not bad. Matthew always plays his electric guitar next door to me and it drives me nuts!!! If he wants to play so much, why doesn't he play in the garage or something! Of course, Oswin and his study group consisting of Marcus, Kent, and Lowen already occupy the garage. The only thing I actually liked about his study group is Lowen makes the best food I ever taste besides Rebecca's. I wanted him to be our roommate and cooks for us every day instead of Hector's lame cooking, but of course, that would mean another male in this house. Another male in this house means less room and a bigger possibility for sneaking a peek at me while I am changing in my room. I always feel cold shivers down my spine whenever I think someone is spying on me whenever I am changing.

I complained about this once to Lord Uther. Matthew, of course, always sneaking around was eavesdropping and told me that nobody would want to see me naked even if I was out in the open. Uh-huh. Sure. I caught him twice sneaking in my room, looking around for something. And some of my under garments gone missing as well. Guess who's guilty. Also, I found door keys in his room. There were keys to my room, Oswin's room, Hector's room, Lord Uther's room, and even the bathroom. Ok…

Ok, I was a bit off topic. Sorry. So then, Matthew, who never visits me, visited me and ask how I was feeling. I felt annoyed since he knew exactly that I don't like it when he enters my room. I told him to get lost as he left without a word. That was easy. Usually, I have to run off complaining to Lord Uther before he leaves my room. I also complained about him playing his electric guitar all day so Lord Uther made him stop as well. I know, I am such a blabbermouth but that's the only thing to do. Still Lord Uther didn't stop Hector from using the computer all day.

Hector, surprising, was being nice and visited me. I was screaming that he was being nice and that everyone should stay a distant away. This brought out the real Hector as he started teasing me that I was careless to bite my tongue in the first place. I was about to hit him when he ran out the door. Hector is and always will be annoying! I can't stand how Florina can take him. Maybe I can get him in trouble with Farina, Florina's older sister or something. Maybe I can say that Hector stole her gold from her locker. Maybe that will shut him up. Hehe.

Now, I cannot think who could be knocking on my door unless Lord Uther wants to try to talk to me again but there really is no reason to though. The door silently creaked open and I was ready to throw this diary at that person when it turned out to be…ERK! What would Erky be doing here? Erk walked over by my side. This is how the conversation went:

"Serra, how are you today?" Erk asked.

"Matthew and Hector are annoying me to death. How can I be ok???" I asked him back, feeling some redness to my face.

"Your tongue seems to working quite fine I do say so myself." Erk said with a smirk.

"I guess so." I said, trying not to blush.

"I heard that you're not doing so great in Geometry. You need help? I am available to tutor you during Homeroom. We do have the same homeroom…" Erk offered as I jumped out of my bed.

"Really? That would be great! Thanks so much, Erky!" I exclaimed as Erk tried to back a bit away from me.

"Just don't call me Erky… Anyways, hope to see you later." Erk finished up as he walked outside the door and chatted with Lord Uther.

I can't believe it! Erk is going to tutor me during Homeroom! Yay! That absolutely made my day. Even better, Lord Uther was so proud of me and my quick recovery with my tongue, which he even invited all my friends over for dinner! I am so happy as I waited at the table. Nino, Rebecca, Raven, and Florina came over. Jaffar had some work to do and couldn't make it. Lyndis and Eliwood came over as well since Lyndis is our neighbor and very friendly. Erk couldn't make it though, which I am a bit disappointed. We had a great dinner (Rebecca helped with the cooking, so that's why the food is actually good. And also, she made lots of vegetables just for me!). To even make my day, Lord Uther forgot about my three hours of praying today. Suckers. Well, goodnight sweet diary!

Day 6

Mood: Ok, weird though

Location: At the computer table

Today, we had a fire drill for the first two periods so Homeroom seemed to come closer than I thought. Of course, Erk asked the Homeroom teacher to move next to me to tutor me with my geometry HW. The teacher didn't care but left the classroom to talk with the next-door teacher. Of course, us, students, are used to this by now. I pulled out my geometry book as he moved his seat closer to me to see the book. We were so close to each other that I can smell his deodorant. It was so fresh that I can be by his side all day…

During this tutor, I can feel myself moving awfully close to him. His knee brushed against mines as I can feel myself turning red. I was so thankful that he was so concentrated in the Geometry Book that he didn't notice. I brushed my knee against his as he looked up at me.

"Serra, so do you understand what I barely told you about this right triangle?" He asked as I froze. I was so busy feeling his knee that I forgot to listen to his explanations. If he knew I wasn't listening, he won't tutor me anymore. I nodded.

"Yup, I understand." I smiled to show my confidence to hide my little lie. Erk took it as he continued explaining the next few problems. I wanted to get closer to him so that his hair can touch mines when the bell rang for Nutrition. Erk got up and walked out the door when greeted by Priscilla outside the door. The two walked off together to the Book Club. I wonder why Priscilla would join it, was it because of Erk?

I walked outside with Florina and Hector outside when I saw Sain waiting for me. I sighed. He wasn't the one I wanted to see but Sain looked at me from top to bottom. "Serra, how's your tongue? I am so sorry." He said as I nodded to accept his apology. Sain saw a good-looking girl walking by as he whistled after her. I just shook my head and walked faster leaving him behind. I walked over by my locker to get my books when I saw Ursula already there. Ursula and her newest boyfriend were kissing by my locker. I felt like vomiting as I opened my locker to get my books. Just my luck, Ursula has her locker by mines. It is so annoying to see her going out with three boys in a week while I even get any at all.

I walked out and was greeted by cheerful Rebecca. Raven wasn't there though. Rebecca seemed to be reading a nice romance novel. I can never understand that romantic stuff since none of it ever happens in real life. In books, boys say all these sappy lines to girls when they want to get back together or something. But in reality, boys don't try to use those fancy words to get back together. They used their lips. Serra shuddered. She never kissed anyone and she felt really uneasy about it. She would never want to kiss Sain.

Rebecca greeted me but put her nose in her book again. I thought for a moment and realized that Rebecca probably had experience with kissing and all that stuff since Raven and her kissed lots of times. I decided to ask since Nino and Florina were not around to hear all that stuff. Florina is my dearest friend, and longest friend as well but she can never understand my feelings about love as much as Nino and Rebecca. Rebecca probably knows more than Nino. And besides, Nino is so close to Erk that she will tell him everything.

"Rebecca, what can you tell me about kissing?" I asked as Rebecca looked at me like I was crazy or something.

"Why? You and Sain never kiss." She asked me back as I felt a little irritated.

"Because I'm you friend, that's why! Now, can you please tell me!" I cried out loud as Rebecca shrugged.

"Well, I am not an expert or anything but kissing is something that you have to be sure about. You can't just kiss any random guy and then develop feelings for him. Kissing is only meant for someone you truly care about and love and sure it was the step you want to take." Rebecca explained as I tried to remember it in my head.

"Thanks Rebecca! How can you feel so comfortable while kissing Raven anyway?" I asked as Rebecca raised an eyebrow.

"Because I love him and it just comes naturally. You can't force a kiss. It won't work. This is about someone you love, isn't it???" Rebecca started asking as she shook my shoulders roughly to get the answer out of me.

"No." I lied as Rebecca shook her finger at me.

"You do know that whenever you lie, you blush right?" Rebecca said as I felt my cheeks. I pulled out my mirror and looked at myself. She's right! Did Erk know??? If he did, I would be so doom by now.

"Ok, you got me. I don't love Sain, I love someone else." I admitted as Rebecca started thinking thoughtfully. Rebecca was now giving me the most scariest and slyest look I ever seen.

"So who is it? Don't leave me guessing…" Rebecca said as she started rubbing her chin thinking again. I felt irritated. I hate it when she does this as I merely shrugged to show my expression, "I don't know…"

Rebecca jumped up. "It's Erk isn't it?" With that stunt look on my face, she gave a small giggle and started saying. "I knew it…wait until Nino hears you like her brother!" I grabbed Rebecca into a corner where no one can hear us. I looked at her dangerously.

"Rebecca, you will not tell Nino. It's between us two. So please shut up!" I said as Rebecca nodded as she gave a little giggle. The bell rang as Rebecca waved goodbye to me and walked off to her next class. My next class is with Nino and I just hope Rebecca can keep her mouth shut. If Erk knew I like him, my life is over and my hopes of getting another boyfriend after Sain are zero! Nada, none.

In Health today, Nino has been raising her hands all day about questions about this and that. She was really energetic to know more stuff. I was trying really hard to gasp any of the information without Oswin giving me a look or two. I was getting really tired and hope the day will end already. Finally, the teacher announced that tomorrow we will be dissecting dead frogs…ok… Nino's hand shot up again.

"But, we can't dissect harmless frogs! That is just cruel even if they are dead!" Nino exclaimed as the bell rang for fourth period. I tried to rush out the room without Nino noticing but Lucius just have to ask me some questions on the way out. Oh boy…

"Sister Serra, do you happen to know if Raven likes red or blue better?" He asked me. I was really trying to get away from Lucius but it was too late. Nino spotted me. I was so angry with Lucius that I could hit him. How should I know what's Raven's favorite color? I shook my head in reply as Lucius walked off, leaving me with an irritated Nino.

"Dissecting frogs??? How can we dissect innocent frogs??? What did they ever do to us??? How would you feel if they dissect you when you're dead???" Nino started exclaiming questions at me that I took no care whatsoever to. I stood there, looking pretty stupid.

"I don't know, what could we do about it?" I regretted asking that question when Nino's face lit up. Nino was now smiling now.

"We can go on strike! I will send an e-mail to every student in Elibe High School and we will all go on strike during the start of third period tomorrow! Brother Erk can help me, he is such a genius at computer work and everything!" Nino shouted as she ran off to fourth period without hearing any comment from me.

This is not good…I am already bad at Health at it is, I can't afford to lose class time to go on a stupid strike about dissecting frogs. Nino is overreacting over some dead animals that people somewhere out there probably would eat anyways. Worst, she is going to drag Erk into this. I hate it. I am one of her best friends and she probably looking for my support the most and go on strike with her. What should I do???

At the end of the day, I walked home with Lyndis and Eliwood. We are neighbors and we get along quite well. Lyndis wanted me to show her a bit of Elimine's teachings and begged me if I can teach her after school once a week or something. I really wanted to say "no" and that Lucius was a better choice than I was but I can't. That's my problem. If I deny it, Lyndis will probably tell her grandfather and her grandfather will tell everyone in the neighborhood including Lord Uther. So I agreed that we will do it every Tuesday starting tomorrow.

Now, I am at home, just writing in this diary. I already had done with all my HW but geometry. I swear I suck at Geometry so I decided to take a break and go online. Hector was going out with Florina today and left the computer for me today. I went online to search for some teachings of Saint Elimine that I might have forgotten when Erk instant messenger me. He's always online and working hard on his newest book. This is how the conversation went.

PMage8977 (Erk, if you didn't know): hey serra, when r u ever online?

Serra19: now, finally hector got off the damn computer. that's why we have two phone lines at home.

Pmage8977: kewl, we have 2 phone lines too. one for nino and me. speaking of nino, wazz up with her?

Pmage8977: so? just some cold dead frogs…

Pmage8977: so? wat does it have to do with u?

Serra19: since I'm her bff then I have to go on strike with her and I can't afford to miss any classes even health! wat am I supposed to do?

Pmage8977: hmmmm, I dunno wat to do either. she probably expect me to go with this but I'm not. nino can overreact sometimes. o well. I have to continue writing my book, cya l8er. need help with geometry, email me.

Serra19: ok, cya

Then he logged off and I looked at the time. It's almost my time to start praying again. Three hours of praying…I am going to die! Anyways, see ya tomorrow diary! Need to get a good nights sleep before dooms day tomorrow.

Nichole: I end it here, next time let's see what Serra would do about Nino's strike request.

MPV: More of my stuff!!!

Michelle: Ehhhh, R & R. Highly appreciated!
