In the evening , in his room that he shares with Craig , Craig has not arrived yet . Shen takes advantage of putting Vic's diary under the blanket of Craig's bed . After he went into the bathroom to take a shower . Craig enters the room , all the time , he was still fighting with Vic . He throws himself on his bed to sleep , but he feels something flat .
" What is that ? " He ask himself .
He found the diary (but he did not know it was actually a diary) .
" Why is Vic's notebook under my blanket ? " Craig said .
But when he opened it and took a look at a few pages , his serves died when he realized that it was actually a diary . He began to read the first pages . At the beginning , the first pages talk about him and the others . All the time , Vic had hid his thoughts deep on them , first he wrote on the Thea Sisters , then Tanya , then Dina , Ron and Shen...
" Shen is the genius and the intellectual of us , sometimes we call him "Little genius" . Like Paulina , he is good at computers...we met near the playfield , i'l got on well with him after our first conversation exchange and we quickly became friends...he is not good in sport , i immediately noticed during our last challenge of the presidential elections of the club of Gecko *...Craig often teases him because of his love for Pamela..."
And of course he...
" And finally , Craig , the strongest person in our circle...I hated him at the beginning of our relationship , but he quickly became my best friend , i thought he wad a bastard , but later i'l changed my mind about him on the day of the championship *. With him , we never get bored , when he is bored to death , he always tries to make new jokes about others...sometimes i follow him...even if he is not very good at studying , he does his best to succeed and i sincerely encourage him...he and i are passionate about sport , in the summer we like to pratice different kinds and when it is winter , we like snowboard..."
In the evening he is always awake and Shen slepps deeply . He continues to read Vic's diary to finally understand what he feels sometimes .
" Mouseford Academy , January 3th .
Before the Christmas holidays ended , Craig and i went to ski center . We rent the snowdoards and we spend a whole day surfing . The funny thing is during the middle of the track , i saw Craig stop . He starts to fours and climb to pick something up . I stopped too , i looked him and asked him what he did . It was only after a few seconds that he replied that he had found a money . The lucky ! I started to laugh . We had fun both , we thought that the next time we should bring everyone . It was great ! At the end of the day , we went back to college and had a hot meal to warm up . For hours we chatted as always and we have no desire to temporarily separate . At every moment with him , i really appreciate his presence . He is like a great brother to me . "
When Craig returned in the spring season , he came across a passage to which his memory belongs .
" Mouseford Academy , May 12th .
Last night , i had a moment in which i did not expect Craig to tell me in the face . He says that for several weeks he is in love with me . I know he is shy and he did not seem know what other words to say to tell me he loved me . And i do not really know what to think , not even tell him in return . I know i disappointed him when i ran to my room . During the day , i tried to avoid it . Even today , i wonder if he was serious or not . "
" Mouseford Academy , May 17th .
I hate to see Craig as if i already belong to him alone . Several times during the week , he invites me to an activity just him and me . He seems to get upset or i can say jealous when i'm with someone else and that person makes me laugh . Since the night of his statement , i have avoided it . Now , there is Shen and the mouselings who seem to know already what Craig feels for me . They keep telling me about him or even harassing me for i'm in love too . I do not know when it's going to stop...maybe never , i was even starting to imagine jumping out the window , if they never stop...My God , kill me to end the love stories . "
" Mouseford Academy , May 19th .
The other night was worse for me ! Craig spent all afternoon to evening drinking alcohol with his alcoholic friends . I have to come and get him alone because Shen was too scared to go alone , he should have followed me . In the middle of the trail between Mouseford and the village , drunk , he wrapped me in his arms and forced me to have a sexual relationship with him . He threw me down and that's when the nightmare started . I did not think the first time was painful . And the next day , i had pain in my hip and buttocks , i was also nauseated in thinking about the rape . And that day , i argued and fussed with Craig about yesterday , even thought yesterday he drank too much that he does not remember . Shen and Ron interrupted our fight and after that we stopped talking to each other . "
These topics are the current problems . Craig felt responsible for what was going on , he was angry with himself and his idiocy . He resumes reading .
" Mouseford Academy , June 1th .
More and more , the argument between me and Craig becomes more frequent and secretly . Nobody suspected our fight is always safe from the eyes of others , teachers and the headmaster . Expect for Ron and Shen . I sometimes feel feel a little annoying when i walk down the corridors with a facial wound that i got a punch from Craig and the others kept asking what had happened to me . I often tried to hide the other wounds by putting on my sister's makeup , to avoid other suspicions and so that mother would not see them . I do not want her to hear that . Sometimes i wonder what Craig thinks from time to time about our arguments...but i have to admit it hurts . It should never have happened between us , i should not have been angry during our first fight , which , because of that , there is now Shen and Ron who are gradually getting away from me and Craig . We see not each other again , maybe our friendship will stop for good . Who knows . "
What an incredible revelation for Craig , why did not Vic say it face-to face instead ? Why still argue ? Craig felt really guilty for the misfortune , soon his friendship with Shen and Ron will also break if it continues . All the memories of the marvelous moments he had with him made room in his head , even after reading all the pages , he remembers everything now . Now , the friendship with Vic misses him terribly . And even , ardent love for him has come back . He would like now as long as this hatred between them stops and that everythings becomes again as before . Alone , it will not happen , for all to arrange , he will have to talk to him and have the help of his friends .
