He Who Calls
Chapter 8
Journal of Odd Della Robbia
Another Entry
Forget it, Odd. If she had been asked out there would have been a chance. But she asked him out. She likes him, not me.
She didn't know you liked her!
She didn't know if Milo liked her.
You've known her longer.
And in all that time she's never laughed at one of my jokes. She laughs at Milo's.
He's only twelve!
He's a genius. I have conversations with myself in my diary.
Journal of Aelita Hopper
Mixed Feelings Entry
I asked Milo out and he said yes! On the other hand, Odd asked me to go to the dance with him. I wouldn't have gone with him no matter what I knew about whether he liked me. He knows I asked Milo out. He's probably heartbroken. I feel sorry for him, but I only like him as a friend. It can't be changed. But hey, I'm going out with Milo! This really is a mixed feeling entry.
Journal of Milo Salian
First Entry
Aelita recommended keeping a journal. I put it off for a while, but now I have nothing better to do. I didn't exactly know she liked me. Ulrich said to me a few weeks ago, "I think a certain pink-haired girl is paying a lot of attention to you." I thought he was joking. But maybe emotions are just something everyone can see but me. I've been told I'm less then human. And I sure never thought I'd see the same William Dunbar again. I'm going to have to tell Aelita the truth, at least.
Journal of Ulrich Stern
First Entry
Now Milo's keeping a journal too! I think Yumi, Odd, Jeremy, and Aelita already did, so now everyone's got one. Aelita finally asked Milo out. Odd is devastated. I warned him. He had a million chances. He says I see other people's emotions in a scary way. I think he might ask Yumi on the rebound.
It stinks that Odd is mad at Milo. We've gotten to know each other pretty well. Aelita is his girlfriend and is closest to him, but I think I might be his best friend out of the boys. He and Yumi are nice to each other and hang out sometimes, and they're friends, but not best friends. Oh well. As long as he feels like it Aelita can be his girlfriend and I can be his best friend.
Odd is really mad. I don't see why. He was trying to get over Aelita. If he asks Yumi out just to show me how it feels, which he might do, as opposed to really liking her, I will be pissed. But Aelita liked Milo. No point getting mad about it.
Keeping a journal isn't bad. It's nice to write these things down. I wonder what Milo and Odd are thinking about.
