Urgh. Thanks for your concern, but I'm not any better. I'm going to the doctors' tomorrow, but mum reckons it's tonsillitis, which is pretty miserable. :/

Anyway, I'm curious... I know that I've got readers from quite a few places... if you leave a review, will you put the name of the country that you're in/from? Just out of sheer curiosity... Thanks!!

Date: 11th February

Character: Becca

Stimulus: Mystery

Dedication: reeb[dot]myoo, who let me use her name. It is a great name... Thanks for everything!

They're pretty weird. I mean, everyone here is pale, but they're, like… deathly white. Those gold eyes are pretty creepy, too… and the way that they look permanently depressed.

I tried to speak with them, on their first day at this dump of a place known as Denali High. Just being friendly, you know? The blonde girl just glared, and the blonde boy looked pained. The two dark haired ones attempted smiles, but I could see that they weren't exactly genuine.

I haven't spoken to them since. They keep themselves to themselves. I mean, really, I can't imagine why. It's not like they're not all utterly beautiful. It's not like they couldn't fit in with the popular crowd if they wanted to. I've heard the stories, the explanations for why they're all so miserable.

Some reckon that they've lost a sibling, or something. Everyone knows that they're all adopted orphans—could it be that? The speculation surrounding them is intense. Nobody knows the truth, though.

Sometimes, I wonder if we'll ever know.
