AN: hmmm I'm surprised I'm updating so quickly, but I guess I really wanted to write the next chapter, oh for all of you who might not get it , this isn't the last chapter. When I said finish the story at the end of the last chapter, I just meant the catching up story, not the whole thing XDXD
Sorry if some of you got confuzzled. Oh and yes, Brittany is dating Alvin. Simon and Jeanette like each other and they both know the other one likes them back, there both just too shy to do anything about it. And we all know Eleanor likes Theodore, but I'm not telling Theodore's feelings XDXDXD

Dear Diary: Is This Love?
Ch. 5: The Theodore Thing
November 10th, 2008
Dear Diary,
Wow! Finally I have some time to write!!! It's currently lunch time right now and I don't have any homework to do (yes!!!! LONG LIVE HAVING NO HOMEWORK). I swear high school is like a mosh pit of homework!!! I mean seriously, unlike the teachers at my school, kids my age actually have lives and don't want to waste the rest of the day doing MORE work! I mean isn't after school the time where we relax and store up our little brains for the next day of learning? Gah, the school board is stupid. And another thing! Why on earth do we have to go to school at 8:00??? Causing us girls to get up at around 6:30 so we can get ready (we take longer than boys). Isn't it a proven fact that teenagers need more sleep!? Why take away the sleep that our bodies need…..besides I like sleeping in.
Adults just don't get it do they? Maybe I should start a petition to start school later in the day…..hmmmmm. Oh yes!!
I left off at Jeanette telling me what Theodore said about Hannah (I still cringe when I think about it…..jeez stupid Theodore!!! Why did you have to say that!!!!!!!!!!?)
Jeanette walked over and patted me on the shoulder.
"don't worry Ellie! Maybe I can talk to Simon about it….maybe there is a good reason behind it" Jeanette said softly, like if she spoke too loud I might break or something. I just smiled at her weakly. Brittany stood up angrily causing my bed to bounce under her weight and causing me to fall over. Brittany growled.
"I am SO drilling Alvin about this! I mean no guy that my sister likes can be nothing less than her expectations!!" Brittany snapped to no one in particular. I rose and eyebrow.
"your making it sound like I force people to be what I want…" I sighed. Brittany just ignored me. I rolled my eyes and she jumped off of my bed and stomped out of our bedroom. Jeanette just gave me a confused look and shrugged, proceeding to walk over to her books and start her homework. I looked down and my hands.
What was this receding feeling? It's like since I heard Jeanette's words a sudden feeling vanished in my heart and was replaced by something heavy. Was it bad? I mean I still liked Theodore…was that bad? Because of what he said? I mean, it's not normal to still like someone that insulted one of your good friends. Is it? Gahh!! I'm horrible! But after a year of liking this guy, could I just expect to stop liking him so suddenly?
If you met the guy you'd know it's sooo impossible.
I still felt the heavy feeling though….what was this?? It was bugging me, I mean when I thought about him, a smile still crept on my face…but I never got the warm fuzzy feeling in my stomach anymore. And when I saw him in the halls, I didn't get the tingles like I used to.
Eventually I stopped trying to smile at him when I passed him in the hall. I even stopped trying to continue the conversations when he complemented my art. I just let it end with a simple thanks. This continued for about a week until I finally started talking about it with my friend Kaleigh on MSN after school one day.
Me: gaah!!! I'm going crazy!!!
Klaeigh: why?
Me: it's the Theodore thing!!! I mean do you think he'd really say that????
Kaleigh: what did he say again, sorry I forgot :P
Me: he said Hannah smelled and wore weird clothes…
Kaleigh: :O
Kaleigh: I really don't see him saying that, I mean he's a real smarty in class, and he's shy too, and too nice.
Me: he's a smarty?? (thinks of the candy)
Kaleigh: ya, like one time in our history class he corrected the teacher on something
Me: that means he's a smarty? O.O
Kaleigh: well like he gets good grades and he always answers the questions and stuff
Me: o…k
Me: but still! What should I do!! I mean I still like him!!
Kaleigh: forgive and forget? :P
I stared at her words for a while. Forgive and forget. I really wanted to do that. But….she was my friend. I really love all my friends and I can't take people saying bad things about them. But…he ruled my mind about 2 thirds of the day……………………….gaaah!!!!! Well it's not like I'm in a fight with him or anything. I mean he doesn't even know I know he said that. And even if he did he wouldn't care that I knew, he'd probably wonder why I cared so much. He'd think I was mental for obsessing over it. I looked down and the keyboard in front of me.
Me: hmmmm forgive and forget? Sure I guess….I could try that.
Kaleigh: yay!
Kaleigh: now talk to him tomorrow!! (grr.)
Me: suure I guess… :P
Kaleigh: yay!!
Me: are you sure he's a smarty???? I mean it's Theodore were talking about….he's not the smartest muffin in the bag when it comes to school.
Kaleigh: isn't Theodore the one with glasses, you like him right?
Me: NO!!!!!! that's SIMON his BROTHER!!!!!! Waa how could you Kaleigh!! After all of this talk about him, seriously girl.
Kaleigh: whoops sorry :D
After a while I finally dragged myself off of the computer and slumped upstairs to do my homework. After I was finished Brittany stomped in the room with her hands in two fists. She sat on her bed and huffed angrily. Me and Jeanette just stared at her.
"uhhh whats up? I thought you were with Alvin…" I said. She pouted angrily.
"humph! I don't even want to talk about that jerk! Thinks he can skip out on a date! No way! Not when he's going with Brittany Miller!" she yelled angrily. Jeanette just sighed and slouched deeper into her light purple reading chair positioned beside her bed. She was just finishing '6 months to live'. it was a book series about a girl our age who had leukemia. I read it a long time ago. The book was really old and was literally falling apart. I've always told Jeanette to throw out books like that. But she just glares and me and hugs the book closer to her as if I'm going to snatch it away from her.
I cocked my head at Brittany and bit my lip.
"hey so…did you talk to Alvin about the Theodore thing like you said?" I said slowly. Maybe talking about Alvin would anger her more, I wanted to be cautious, Brittany's word attacks were deathly. She could rip apart the most famous person in the world with one sentence flat. believe me, I've seen it in action and her victims are never the same after.
Brittany sniffed and raised up her nose.
"why is it always about you and Theodore these days!? Do you expect me to do everything for you!?" she snapped. Gad I knew that would turn icy. She glared at me and I looked down. I had to admit, I felt ashamed. She was already angry at Alvin for god knows what which probably wasn't his fault anyway. They'd be all lovey-dovey again by tomorrow. I looked back up at her and frowned.
"but you said you'd talk to him about it, it wasn't my idea, it was yours remember?" I asked quietly. Maybe I could still get something out of her. Jeanette glared at Brittany's back from the corner of her book.
"just tell her Britt" Jeanette said before returning to her book. Brittany sighed and kicked her legs up onto her pink clad bed sheets.
"ya I talked to him, he explained everything. hmmm I think I talked to him about it like, Tuesday, so don't get your panties in a twist" Brittany said grabbing her hand mirror off of her bedside table and fixing some mascara that was clumping on the edge of her eyelash. My eyes widened in surprise.
What!! Tuesday!!!??? But it was Friday!!!!!!!!! Why didn't she tell me right away!! Gad Brittany your so stupid sometimes!!!
I waltzed over to her bed and thwacked her on the head. She yelped and grabbed her head where I hit it.
"hey! Why'd you do that!!?" she wailed. I glared at her.
"why didn't you tell me this Tuesday nimrod!?" I growled. She pouted angrily again and crossed her arms.
"I forgot, SOR-RY" she said. I sighed in annoyance. This girl can really be stupid for someone so popular. I crawled onto her bed beside her and crossed my legs.
"so….well what did he say?" I asked leaning forward a bit. Brittany rubbed her head once more then copied my position. Jeanette looked up from her book as well. She must've also forgotten to talk to Simon about it because she never told me anything.
"well I went up to him after school on Tuesday right? And well he said that they were just chatting and that Theodore was saying: "I heard Jackson was dissing Hannah Ince, you know Eleanor's friend. And apparently she heard about it and was crying in the girls bathroom. I feel sorry for her"" Brittany said, mirroring what Theodore was supposedly saying that day Jeanette overheard them. Even though it was Brittany talking, my heart did a little flutter when she said "you know, Eleanor's friend". it felt good. My heart hadn't done that for a while. I smiled a bit when I realized that. Was that heavy feeling going to disappear soon? It had still been there all week.
I nodded, urging Brittany to continue. Jeanette sat up a bit more in her seat.
"yeah so he said that, then Alvin asked what Jackson said, and Theodore said: "he said that Hannah smells bad and wears weird clothes"!" Brittany said, finishing off Theodore's words. My eyes widened and I stared at her dumbfounded. Jeanette gasped.
"that must've been when I was overheard him!! Oh my goodness Eleanor I'm so sorry!! I mistook his words and told what I thought he said!!" Jeanette wailed and she lunged herself from her chair and tackled me into a hug, knocking me over. I still didn't say anything.
"I'm sooo sorry Eleanor! This is all my fault!" Jeanette wailed again. I hugged her weakly. I still didn't really know what to say.
I was happy.
Increasingly happy.
Theodore had never said anything mean at all about Hannah. He was still the nice, cute, funny, sweet Theodore I fell for.
But….
Why was the heavy feeling still there??????
GAD!!! I'm gonna scream! This stupid feeling won't go AWAY! Jeez! This is bugging me! No matter how happy I feel it's STILL there! And even now when I know Theodore was innocent (haha sounds like some sort of witness thing to say XD) why is it still there? I thought it would disappear.
"hey…Ellie aren't you happy? Jeanette was wrong, Theodore never did anything bad…" Brittany said. Jeanette let go of me and looked at me guiltily. I sighed and just looked at them.
"I don't know, I mean yes I'm happy, of course I'm happy. But…I still don't feel 100% like I used to" I said biting my lip. Jeanette twisted her mouth to the side and Brittany sighed dramatically, letting herself fall onto her back. Her fall caused the bed to jump a little and me and Jeanette bounced lightly.
"what does it take to make you feel alright again!! I can't stand you being depressed!" Brittany groaned covering her eyes with her hands.
"I'm not swirling into the pit of misery here. I just don't feel exactly the same, sorry guys" I said biting my lip again. I swear one day I'm going to chew it off. Gawsh. Jeanette shook her head.
"don't apologize, we both hate it when our baby sister is upset, your like our little…well baby sister" Jeanette said, sounding unconvinced by the end. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"gee thanks" I sighed. Brittany uncovered her eyes and rolled her head over so she could look at me and Jeanette.
"hey, maybe like, your feeling down because you have to hear it straight from him" she suggested. I straightened by back, perking up by the suggestion.
Ya! Maybe that's it! No offence to Brittany. I believe her and all….buuut she does end up twisting the truth sometimes, like one time, Ms. Miller used to put the tax money on the bottom step of the staircase. This was when we where like, 7 years old. Well anyway, Brittany saw it and thought 'ohh money! I want it'. obviously not knowing it was important. When Ms. Miller asked us where it had gone, Brittany blamed it on the cat.
We didn't even have a cat.
Yep.
We got grounded for a week. Yes, WE. Because me and Jeanette knew she took it and didn't say anything. We regretted it after we had gotten grounded. Anyway Brittany never took the money again, now knowing it wasn't just random money. She even was forced to return the doll she bought with it. When Ms. Miller had asked her where she got the money from Brittany just said she won a bet with Alvin and he gave it to her.
Anyway, yeah…don't trust Brittany.
The next day went by slowly. I wasn't going to ask Theodore about the Theodore thing. I didn't feel I really had to. Thought I really wanted to talk to him about it. I kept hesitating and tried to call his name, but right when I was about to I thought of a reason not to. I finally gave up halfway through the period and just concentrated on my watercolour. We were on our last watercolour painting now. I had gotten reasonably good marks on my other ones. An 87% and a 92%. I really didn't care anymore if my grades were the best. I don't know why when I was so competitive about it. It just…faded.
Gawd I think I'm fading away all together. GAD! Why does Theodore have such a strong pull on my emotions!!! It's like I'm a blob of nothingness. But I'm still happy!! I mean Theodore didn't say it! He didn't say anything bad!!!……………..my emotions are totally wack. I feel like nothing but I'm happy?? THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!!!!
Jeez I'm confusing myself.
"hey Eleanor…umm…can I talk to you for a sec after class?" Theodore's voice rang in my head for a couple of seconds. My heart did a little flip-flop but that was it. I looked up at him slowly making sure he actually said it. A small blush crept up on my cheeks as he sat turned around in his chair looking at me with a hopeful expression on his face. I blinked a few times with what must've have been a surprised stupid look on my face. He nodded his head ever so slightly.
CRAP!
HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN LOOKING AT HIM!!!!!????
Eee!!!
Quick say something Ellie!!!!
"oh yeah sure I guess" I mumbled quickly. I just managed to pronounce all of the words properly. He smiled weakly and turned around to finish his work. I stared at his back for a couple seconds before quickly looking down at my work. I could feel the girls stares beside me. I ignored them the best I could and kept working.
The period seemed to drag on FOREVER!! But finally it ended with the bell and I packed my pencil case into my backpack that was on my seat. I put it there everyday. Our teacher (as I've said before) is insanely mental, and she hates bags on the floor because she might trip over them and break something. Oh yeah it's all about her. Anyway these stupid idiot girls who site behind me had their bags on the floor. Like I mean these girls are REALLY stupid, like to the point were you think "why the hell are you even in grade 10?". All they do is giggle and gossip. They even sound like dumb blondes, like little mini Paris Hiltons. Anyway they always get in trouble cause their stupid and don't listen. They always laugh at the teacher when she's yelling at them and they talk back. I swear I'm, surprised our teacher hasn't snapped by now. It gets to the point were I want to slap those girls and give them a piece of my mind. Well our teacher flipped out because she's told them a million times to not put their bags on the floor. She physically took their bags, and even mine! Though mine wasn't even on the floor!! It was so unfair because she's never said anything before about my bag. She only said bags on the floor, mine wasn't on the floor!! Stupid mental teachers. She took all of our bags to the office and said we could get them later. When I went down we all had to get a talk from the vice principal.
But she's never said anything to me anyway so I just keep putting my bag on my chair. And that's were it shall stay so help me.
Anyway I packed up and put my bag over my shoulder. I was about to walk out when Theodore quickly grabbed my shoulder from behind. I jumped and squeaked slightly. It scared me a little. Theodore laughed lightly and I turned around.
"you said you would talk with me?" he said shyly. Well at least I think he was shy. I blinked a few times then suddenly I remembered what he asked me earlier.
GAD! How could I forget!! I was thinking about it for the rest of the period wondering what on earth he would want to talk to me about!! I have set a new record for stupidity. A blush of embarrassment rose on my cheeks and I nodded once.
"right, yeah sorry, I uh…forgot…sorry" I said nervously. He smiled a crooked smile. Fwaaa!!!!!! I'm melting!!!!! Hee hee
"ummm how about just in the hall…" he said, before walking past me. I nodded, not myself really since he'd already walked by. I turned and followed him out the door. My palms started to get sweaty. Ew…that's never happened to me before.
What on earth could he want to talk to me about???
Gasp! What if he knows I like him and he's going to reject me!!!!!!!!!!! Noooo!!!!!! I don't want that!!! At least not now!!!! I can't handle it right now!!!!….or maybe he's going to say he likes me too!!!!!
.............
.............................
..........
Naaah that won't happen.
Did he want to talk about the Hannah thing? How did he know I knew? Did Alvin tell him? Did Alvin lie about what Theodore said? Or was it true what Theodore really said?
Gaah!! I don't know anymore.
Suddenly my face got very hot and my head started to feel dizzy. People rushed around us as I followed Theodore. They all rushed either to their buses or to their lockers. Their voices began to echo in my head and the hallway started to spin around me. I struggled to keep up with Theodore and my legs felt numb. So many questions…they need to be answered!! I can't lose focus now…Theodore…he needs to talk to me….he…Theodore…..
Then the floor suddenly came up to meet my face and I blacked out.
Great….I fainted.
I'm an idiot.
I bet Theodore thought I was an idiot.
I bet the secret internet people supposedly reading my diary online think I'm an idiot.
I think I'm an idiot.
Crap.
Ohh man!!! There's the bell for the end of lunch!!
Oh nooo!! I just found some science homework under my diary!!!! Crap our greasy-haired ick teacher is going to give me hell now. Gaahhh. I'll write down the rest later. aww and i didn't get to eat my pudding cup (cries). :(:(
