A Diary

Chapter 2: Boys

RING! RING! My alarm clock rang at 6:00 in the morning and I rolled out of bed.

"To early!" I thought

"I need to go to bed earlier tonight!"

I then got ready and by the time I was dressed and ready for chores my dads friend that I called Talka came to get me.

"I need you to do me a favored," he said giving me a sad look.

"What? Is something wrong?"

"No but I need to go into town today and I also need to pick up some tomato seeds and fertilizer will you please pick some up for me at the farm across the bridge?"

I gave him a look like ok-fine-but-I-won't-do-this-often!

"Fine"

"Great heres the money! Just tell Vesta that I sent you to pick up the usual and give her this money." He the shoved the money in my face and rushed off.

"Thanks Naomi!"

I smiled and looked at the money in my hand.

"Great new people." I said sarcastically. I then had to take care of the cow and my dog Sammy. That didn't take long and by 8:00 I was ready to go over to get the stuff. I walked and on the way there I saw rock walking by.

"Hey were are you going?" I asked caching up with him

"Vesta's my mom needs…" he took out a list

"This stuff" he said handing me the list

"Cool I have to pick some stuff up for Talka and I don't know who Vesta is."

"Vestas ok," Rock said coolie

"But Marlins the person you want to look out for!"

"Why?"

"He's just not very friendly he's a little antisocial if you know what I mean. He won't relay fit in with outgoing people like us and to top it all off he has a big crush on Cilia the girl that lives there its almost creepy."

Now knowing rock what he sometimes says a bought people, isn't always true so I decided to keep an open mind about it.

We got there and Rock gave a plump young woman I guessed was Vesta the list. A boy was sitting in the corner looked up I guessed he was marlin and a very happy girl I guessed was Cilia got the seeds and stuff that rock had on his list I stood in the doorway.

"This is Naomi" Rock said as I stood next to him.

"She's new in town and doesn't know were something's are"

"Hi" I said to everyone

"Gosh rock make me sound like such a loser." I said joking around. He gave me a look and then smiled.

"Hears a list of stuff that Talka said he needed" I said handing Cilia the list as she handed Rock his stuff.

"You want to hang out after you get your stuff?" Rock asked.

"Um… sure I think all my work is done for today."

"Cilia you want to come to?" Rock said a little louder.

"Can I Vesta?" She asked with a smile

"Be back in a few hours." Vesta said looking me over. I was sure she was trying to see if I was the sort of person that she wanted Cilia around.

"Yes! Can marlin come to Rock?" Celia asked politely.

"Does he have…" I elbowed rock.

"Sure" he said looking at me.

We all then started walk around the beach talking mostly about my new farm life.

"So Naomi was it hard moving here?" Cilia asked

"Kinda but I like it it's nicer then the city"

"Marlins from the city" Cilia said cheerfully. Marlin just kept staring at his feet. I decided to be nice and ask him a question.

"Did you like it there?"

"It was ok," he said in a deep voice. Rock was right about him being shy but he didn't seam mean.

"So now what?" Rock said putting an arm around Cilia and me. Marlin looked up just a little and glared at rock.

"I have to get back soon." I said taking his arm off me Cilia doing the same.

"Me to" Cilia said

We the all walked towered Rock's house.

"See ya tomorrow" I said finally caching Marlins eye as I moved towered my farm. He quickly looked down blushing.

When I got back I read another secession in the diary.
