Dear Friend,
I think everything has settled down, which is nice. Fuuta has settled in, as well as I-pin, and the three children are very great friends with each other even though they are different ages. They're also enrolled in Nami-Elementary, Lambo and I-pin in the 3rd grade and Fuuta in the 6th grade. They've been having fun and they're adjusting to their classes very well. I'm glad. I think I've gotten used to being a big brother. I wonder if this was how Giotto felt when he still lived here.
I miss Giotto. I mean, it's nice he and Dad have a job in Italy to support us, but I wish he were still here. He came home after the accident and stayed for a bit, but in the end he had to leave. I think he was here for two weeks. He arrived right after the accident and helped us move as well as helped us settle into Namimori. He then left, which was really sad. I think he when he left Mom became slightly depressed because Dad hadn't been able to come. He was the person Mom wanted to see the most, I think, but he really hurt her when he didn't come. He did call, several times, but it's just not the same.
I've started to hang out with Yamamoto and Gokudera more, without Kyoko, Haru, and Hana tagging along. I can't help but think that I'm becoming a third wheel to them. They assure me I'm not whenever I bring it up but I can't help but feel that I am. I can tell that I'm getting the way and that they want alone time. I think next time they ask I'll turn them down. I don't want to be a burden to them.
School is starting to make even more sense, which is nice. I guess I should thank Reborn somehow, even if I think he is crazy about the mafia. He's helped me improve everything, even my physical ability. I know he isn't done with teaching me but I still appreciate what he's done now. Bianchi has helped me as well, so I should probably thank her as well. Now that I bring her up I realized I still haven't met her little brother. Maybe I should bring him up some time. I would like to meet him.
Nezu-sensei has been fired from the school. Apparently he lied about his college grades and the recommendations he sent to the school were forged. He was doing illegal drugs as well, though I have no idea how he got his hands on them. In the mean time we have a substitute teacher named Dino. He is from Italy. Reborn said he is in the mafia and Gokudera called him "Bucking Bronco." I really hope Dino isn't like them. He seems like a nice, normal guy who is clumsy like me. He sucks at math, though, so I have no idea how he became our math teacher. I have noticed that when Romario, his assistant, is there, then he is fine and knows what he is talking about. Maybe he has a confidence issue?
Dino was invited by Reborn to come over to our house. Dino happened to also be one of Reborn's former students and he's friends with Giotto. Mom prepared a feast for him and some of the dishes are Italian. I've noticed that ever since Giotto and Dad went to Italy she began to learn more Italian foods. Maybe she wants to learn the culture? I've also noticed that she has been making them more. Maybe because Reborn, Lambo and Fuuta are Italian she wants to make them feel more at home? She can pick up on things like that, so I would expect her to do something like this. I think she also throws in a Chinese dish every now and then as well for I-pin. I love my mom. She's so kind and considerate. I wish I could do more for her.
Do you have and suggestions?
Love always,
Tsuna
