Chapter 3: Luigi
Dear diary,
I can't believe it! This is fantastic! This is amazing! This is brilliant! I feel bad for Mario of course but finally, I feel like I'm not second best. I'm my own person and it feels terrific!
What's that? Oh of course! I completely forgot to say what my big news was! I'll write it as it happened.
So it started when I was in Mario's room. He had come home crying so I tried to comfort him. I like to think that that's the kind of person I am, kind and comforting. Mario apparently didn't want my sympathy though claiming that he was fine and that it was 'Just relationship problems'. I couldn't help him there. I know it sounds mean but I'm really jealous. Mario is going out with Daisy but I really like her. I think she's adventurous and exciting but also kind and very pretty; maybe even comely (I just bought a thesaurus as you can probably tell). But I don't want to steal Daisy from Mario; I just wish I had a girlfriend. Anyone would do. Mario said that I would get a girlfriend one day but I wasn't sure if I believed him back then. I mean, I'm just Luigi, Mario's little brother. Everyone always goes for Mario first. I was sure I would be second best forever, but oh boy, was I wrong!
I could see Mario didn't want company so I went back to my room. I checked my phone (which was green, naturally) and found one message, from Daisy.
That's odd I thought. Daisy hardly ever texts me. The text said this:
Meet me in the rose garden its important
Daisy
x
P.S. Dont tell Mario!
That's even stranger I thought but I did what she said, leaving Mario a note instead of telling him face-to-face in order to avoid awkward questions.
20 minutes later I saw Daisy in the rose garden and walked up to her.
"What's this then? Why the mystery text?" I asked.
"Well… there's something I need to tell you. Mario and I, we just broke up," she replied.
So that's what Mario meant by 'Relationship problems' I thought.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that," I said.
"It's OK, I dumped him," Daisy said.
That surprised me.
"What, but why? You two were so good together!" I insisted.
"Well, that's why I brought you here, Luigi. You see… I think I love you."
Those words stunned me into silence. Daisy loved… me? No-one had ever loved me before. The thought that someone actually liked me more than a friend made my heart flip over. I felt like soaring through the air, I was so happy. This was superbrilliantamazing! This was fantastic, awesome, great, superb, terrific, smashing, wonderful, splendid, and epic. I tried not to think about the fact that Daisy was Mario's ex so she hadn't technically chosen me first. But she had dumped him over me and that made me feel like the most important man in the world.
"So… will you go out with me?" Daisy asked.
I snapped back into reality. I had been day-dreaming so much I hadn't realised that I hadn't said anything.
"Yes! I think I love you too," I replied with a blush.
And with that, Daisy leaned over and kissed me.
The kiss tasted of happiness, hope. I knew from that point on that our relationship was indefatigable (that thesaurus really is coming in handy). It would never end, we would stay together, forever.
