November 11th, Friday

Teacher tried to surprise us with a pop quiz in Social Studies today; as usual, I got a near-perfect score. Had a little confrontation with that red-haired idiot a bit later, unfortunately he ended up having the last laugh after I embarrassed myself somewhat in front of him and Ara…

Must be more careful in the future.

Writing this at Ara's house right now; finished explaining schoolwork to her so there is really nothing else to do. Will be staying here as late as possible to make sure that hired cleaning lady will be gone by the time I get home. I guess Ara can be surprisingly good company, too.

Note to self: look for some of these crackers next time I go to the grocery.

It's eleven-eleven today! Four of the same digit in a row is pretty rare in a date, isn't it? Maybe it should be some kind of holiday since it happens once a year…

Today Add came over to help me study again! He's amazing and knows everything as usual. I'm kind of jealous of his perfect scores!

At the same time though… Even though he won't admit it, I know he gets along okay with everyone else at school, but way too often, I see him all by himself. His parents passed away when he was little. Thinking about it, I'm probably lucky he decided to tell me. I've never heard him mention any other family either. Sometimes, I just wonder if he has anyone who really cares for him.

Writing this as I listen to the heavy rain on the roof.

As he does every single weekend he remembers, my uncle gave me a call again. Yes, of course my grades are still fine. They'll barely be different from when you asked a couple weeks ago. Yes, yes, I'm looking after myself alright.

I don't get why he keeps calling. I'm sure by now he's noticed I still hate him, and there's no chance he actually cares about me either. He never comes to visit and does everything at his own convenience. All he thinks about is the company and how he can make more money. Does he just feel obligated to look after me because he's my uncle, or does he think he can get something out of me? Like hell I'd have anything to do with him.

I've written a bit more than I intended... Guess it's time to go to bed and forget about him!

Good night.

Wow, this weather is amazing! It's ten already, and the rain's still going strong outside! Earlier, the sudden downpour caught me on the way home from the grocery and I got completely drenched. I was freezing by the time I got home! Clouds can move faster than I thought.

I got some more of those soy-sauce crackers for next time Add comes over. We cleaned them out completely yesterday! I wonder how he's doing?

You know, there's nothing like a giant rainstorm outside to make your own room feel warm and cozy. However his day went, I'm definitely sure he'll be able to sleep well tonight~

Author's Note:

Better not say much about why this is late again or I'd have to rename this section the "Author's Excuse". More updates should be happening though, with the ending of summer and beginning of the school season.

Add types his diary on his smartphone while Ara writes with pen and paper~
