Day 24 - Monday

School. That's what happened today. I dragged myself out of bed in the wee hours of the morning to crawl into my school uniform and stumble off to school.

And so the year starts.

I was dreading meeting up with Taichi because of the what happened on the weekend but...it's funny, I met up with him at the intersection just like we have for years and all I said was that I was sorry for being such an arse and that I hated that I'd hurt him and...he smiled...and it was ok.

The rest of the day was a nice big blur after that, it went so fast I barely noticed it'd been and after music I was trying to figure out what my next class was until Akira collapsed on me and said 'Thank god, it's over.'

Yutaka was being cranky throughout band practice and kept beating his drums at inopportune moments so we ended up having a let's-play-the-crap-out-of-instruments session until Yutaka's mum came in and told us to quit it. It's cool when we all let go and play like that; trying to outdo each other and make more noise than we should. It's playing for the sake of playing rather than practicing to be perfect.

Taichi came by Yutaka's to walk home with me after he finished soccer training. He'd invited himself over for dinner as part of my apology for what happened Saturday. He was joking really but I was still glad to have him over. Dad had to stay at work late and I hate eating by myself.

While I was cooking dinner I discovered I'd lost one of the buttons off my school shirt. I don't know how I managed it and I don't have a clue how to sew another one on. So unless I buy another shirt or find away to mend it I'm going to be wandering showing a lot of chest every couple of days. It will undoubtedly make me look very sexy which is always a good thing but I'm afraid it might attract a little too much unneeded attention and that would probably become quite annoying after a while.

Maybe I can switch it for one of Taichi's shirts, he's always losing buttons so his mum wouldn't think twice about sewing another one on. He'd probably get into trouble for it but if I warned him first he wouldn't mind. He'd think it was completely hilarious and bring it back smiling proudly as if he mended it all by himself.

I can hear dad coming through the door so I think I'll go and warm up his dinner. He said he'd bring me desert or something and after two hours of waiting for it I'm getting kinda hungry again.

IMPORTANT NOTE; PLEASE READ: This is only Yamato's half of the story. Reading this document in its entirety will only give you half the story. You must read Taichi's half as well for this story to make sense. "Sparkle Itamashii" is writing Taichi's half of the story- it has the same title as this half.

To read this story as it is supposed to be read, please switch to Sparkle Itamashii's page and read the corresponding chapter of "The Diary Project" there as well. (or if you found her page first, please proceed to the next chapter on her page.)
