Chapter: 8

"Hey bro, you really don't want to go with us to Magix today with the girls?"

"No… Musa's not going too."

"Ok… So you better use the time wisely."

"Ya… Ok… Bye."

"C'mon, the girls are waiting downstairs."

"Bye and have fun…"

Ok… They're gone… I'll just wait a few minutes more before going to look for Musa.

Riven could not wait any longer.

"Damn!" He sped off on his leva-bike and drove to Alfea.

Sneakily, he climbed the tree that was planted conveniently next to the dormitory that Techna and Musa shared.

"Voila!"

He walked past Techna's bed, which was arranged systematically with gadgets. There was Musa, sleeping like a log, on her bed, which was shaped like a piano.

Oh god… She looked so cute, with the covers pulled around her, surely no man could resist it… Riven thought.

Suddenly, he spotted her diary on her table. Curiosity got the better of him, and he ruffled through a few pages.

September 16th

Dear Diary,

During practice today, I saw a boy next to me. Stella told me his name's Jonathan. He looked so handsome. I guess…

Riven was enraged and couldn't stand this Jonathan guy, and so he flipped a few more pages

September 27th

Dear Diary,

I saw Riven for the first time. The one Priscilla and Francis had been talking about since last year. Wow! He was really good looking, with his scowl and those muscular arms…

October 2nd

Dear Diary,

I competed with Riven today, I didn't know he could sing so well. He's wearing his normal outfit. A white shirt and magenta pants. But he still looks totally cool. I heard Priscilla and Francis shouting his name. He winked back at them…

October 13th

Dear Diary,

OMG! Riven kissed me on the cheek today, in the hospital. I can't believe it. His lips were so soft and… wait a minute! Musa, are you falling in love with him? That is soo wrong! Men are not to be trusted, remember? Ever since…

"What are you doing, Riven? Get outta here now!"

"Musa… I… I…"

"Didn't you hear what I just said? Get out of here! NOW!!"

Riven quickly jumped out of the window and sped off on his leva-bike. When Riven had gone, Musa cried silently to herself.

"W… why? Why did he read my diary? Goddamnit! I don't even know which page he's read!! Do I care?"

"Now Musa, get a hold of yourself. It's not worth crying over that arrogant jerk." Musa muttered to herself.

"Ok… I'll… I'll just write a song then… As if I have any inspirations, after that jerk assaulted me… But I don't care, I'll just write a crappy one. I'm gonna throw it away anyway…"

With a sigh, Musa took out a pen and a paper.

From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?
Loneliness up ahead, emptiness behind
Where do I go?

And you didn't hear
All my joy through my tears
All my hopes through my fears
Did you know, I still miss you somehow

CHORUS:
From the bottom of my broken heart
There's just a thing or two I'd like you to know
You were my first love, you were my true love
From the first kisses to the very last rose
From the bottom of my broken heart
Even though time may find me somebody new
You were my real love, I never knew love
'Til there was you
From the bottom of my broken heart

"Baby," I said, "please stay.
Give our love a chance for one more day"
We could have worked things out
Taking time is what love's all about

But you put a dart
Through my dreams through my heart
And I'm back where I started again
Never thought it would end

Repeat CHORUS

You promised yourself
But to somebody else
And you made it so perfectly clear
Still I wish you were here

Repeat CHORUS

"Never look back," we said
How was I to know I'd miss you so?

"There! I'm done." Then…

"Well, while all of you split up and went different ways, Brandon and I went to this restaurant called 'Pariss', well, he sorta held my hand and we walked into the restaurant, then suddenly, BANG!! he proposed to m…… OMG! Musa! Were you crying?"

"Hi.. you're back I see."

"Hey Musa, tell us what happened."

"It's n… nothing much… I guess I'll just go back to… to… sleep. Yeah…"

"Musa, tell us what happened. We're friends, remember? And friends are supposed to help one another."

"FINE, Techna! You're not gonna believe me… But Riven…Riven, he came into our room…goodness knows how he sneaked in here, and…and he…he…READ MY FREAKIN' DIARY!!! And who the hell knows what page he's read!"

"Sweetie, calm down..remember the spell Avalon taught us? To know what has just been read by an enemy or someone?"

"Great idea, Flo! Now 1..2..3 let's chant together!"

"May what he read be told the truth,
And the spell will be known as the proof!
May what he read be told the truth,
And the spell will be known as the proof!
May what he read be told the truth,
And the spell will be known as the proof!"

"Whew! That was tiring… Shit! Musa, come and look!"

"Oh no… He read… those things I wrote about him… oh no… oh no… oh no…"

"Calm down, sweetie, it doesn't mean anything to him…"

"Hey Musa, from what you have written, does it mean that you like Riven?" The blonde asked, with a smirk on her face.

"Well… I… I… yes, I think so…" Musa whispered.

"That's great!" Stella whooped. "That way, we don't need to worry about finding her a partner for the annual ball anymore! And furthermore, it's obvious that he likes you too, Musa!"

"Well, Stella, you're 34.9 percent correct… less than half, you know? But it doesn't look like he likes Musa… You know, guys can kiss any girl they like, with or without passion, for you information… but it's different, very different for girls." Techna explained logically.

"Well, I guess I'm being defeated… Come on Winx, let's get some sleep, it's getting late."
