"Dear Diary"

(life after the bathhouse)

Dear Diary,

I haven't been to school in over a week. I haven't heard from my dragon since that day I said goodbye to him forever. I haven't stopped thinking about Kuri ever since it happened. I thought she'd be okay...

I keep blaming myself. Thinking that I could've taken her home or rode home with her... maybe then things would be different.

Today I was sitting at a spot under a tree in the shade, just doodling on a sketchpad. Considering the tree was very close to school property, people usually went to eat there for lunch on nice days like this. I met a boy there who was with a group of friends. He came over to my side of the tree and asked to speak with me. He asked me to go to the homecoming dance with him. I told him no. Why, you may ask? Well... I told him I was flattered by his offer, but that I had my thoughts on another. He asked who, and I simply replied with, 'Someone special.' When he couldn't pry anymore information out of me, he gave up.

I wonder if he was serious in his offer. I don't know though. He is part of some clique which includes cheerleaders and jocks. God knows THEY can't be trusted.

For Kuri,

...Chihiro
