1 Nov.
It's about 2am right now and I got a text from Ruby, saying how much she loves the dog plush she named "Zwei". She told me the meaning behind the name and I thought it was the sweetest thing I've ever heard. To name a stuffed animal after your first pet, there's something romantic about it. It's a great way to keep the memory of a loved one alive.
When Ruby started to open presents, she made this ungodly screech and started crying when she got to mine. I was shocked and thought I got it wrong. I was never the best gift giver...but she reassured me otherwise. Knowing that made me really happy, and I couldn't help but tear up myself. She carried Zwei around since she got it.
The party was a lot of fun. I never thought I would enjoy stuff like that. Surprising what you can learn about yourself. Maybe I liked the free-spirit and casual aspect of a birthday party. It was wild and unorganized with its activity planning, most if which were spontaneous or on a whim, but it was also relaxing and calming. I can't describe it, but I know that Ruby's birthday party, as unruly as it was, was one of the best parties I ever attended, even grander than the Annual Atlas Gala. And those were held in one of the most exclusive, most expensive ballrooms in all of the world. Unlike the formal parties I attended growing up, I can remember everything I did and everything that happened during Ruby's party.
I spent a lot of my time meeting Ruby's friends and family. I did enjoy knowing she has a lot of people to confide in if she can't talk with me. Thinking that made me feel a little lonely, but I don't own her. With whom she decides to spend her time shouldn't be any my concern.
I heard Ruby's got a track meet coming up from her friend, Pyrrha Nikos. Of all Ruby's friends, Pyrrha seemed to be the nicest, next to Lie Ren and Velvet Scarlatina. Even though she can pay for college semester by semester, she's at the college with a Track and Field scholarship. According to Yang, Ruby was very exceptional in relay and hurdles. If I can, I want to see her run. My schedule's been filling up more and more as of late, so I'll be lucky to go to even one of them.
My father's been pushing me to take over the Schnee Energy Company, and I really don't want it. If I take it over, I wouldn't be able to get my import shop. Ever. But with the life I lead, my life will never really be mine. Since coming here, I've been doing small jobs to promote the company while I'm in Vale, but thankfully, they don't conflict with my education. It was hard to convince him of that...
Ruby's really lucky… she was able to choose what she wants to do, despite being the heiress to her own family's café. I gotta say, I'm a bit envious of her.
