Hey guys, Crimson here, and welcome to 'The Lost Diary' which is a complete rewrite of 'Nagisa finds a Diary.' This rewrite is greatly superior than the original, as I decided not to use the layout I did for it which was got damn awful in my opinion. So for a bit of info, when you see text that's underlined, it means he's reading the diary and everything outside of that is his dialog alone. So you will see stuff like him stuttering while he reads. Anyway, that's all for now, and I hope you guys will enjoy the chapter.
Third P.O.V
After everyone had finally left the classroom, Nagisa who had been asked to stay behind, started cleaning up the classroom, and while he was doing so, he manages find a plain looking book, sitting between two desk. ("Is that someone's textbook?") Nagisa asked himself, which he then walked over to where the book was, and picked it up from the ground. "I guess somebody must of dropped one of they're books, and hadn't realised that they'd dropped it. But this doesn't seem to resemble any of our textbooks, as they're all dark green, and this one is blue, so what is it?" Nagisa again asked himself, and after inspecting the book a bit further, he decides to open the book to see what's inside.
[Entry 36]
"Today, I'd became friends with our new classmate who had gotten herself transferred into our class, and her name was Kayano Kaede, pretty cute name if I have to be honest. But anyway, when I first walked into the classroom, I noticed that Nagisa had given himself a brand new hairstyle, as he used to have his hair in a single ponytail, but now it's in pigtails, and I have to say, he looks even more cute." Nagisa couldn't finish reading the rest of the entry, as he felt embarrassed over the fact that somebody finds him cute, and that his new hairstyle made him even cuter. "Why the hell is this even written in here?" Nagisa asked himself in response from what he had read, but he soon realises what the entry was truly about, and that's when he knew the reason why it was written. "Wait... Please tell that this isn't someone's dairy, please tell me it isn't." Nagisa asked himself yet again, and his embarrassment increased even further due to that he read someone's secret thoughts, and now he's scared that he saw something he shouldn't off.
Few minutes later
"Alright, this diary definitely belongs to one of the girls, as I know that none of the guys would even consider writing anything like that about me. But if it does belong to one of the girls, I already know it can't be Kayano's, as the diary owner states they'd became friends with her, so Kayano-san is out of the picture." Nagisa said to himself as he continued to stare at the dairy. "But seriously though, why would anyone bring they're dairy to school, when they could easily lose it and let anyone find out about your secrets?" Nagisa asked himself, and while he stared at the diary, he knew that he had to find out who the diary belongs to, and he simply can't go asking around about it, especially when he had read a entry from the diary. "I'm so going to regret this later, as the girls would kill me for doing this. But it's not like I have a choice, as if I leave it behind, Korosensei would easily find it, and find out all about they're secrets. So I have no choice to take it home with me." Nagisa told himself, which he then placed the book inside his bag, and then resumed tidying up the classroom.
Later in Nagisa's room
Nagisa's P.O.V
After I'd gotten home and changed out of my uniform. I went straight over to my bag, and took out the diary that I'd found earlier. "I know that I shouldn't be saying this, but I didn't really finish that entry I was reading earlier, due to what it said about me. But something like that would be perfect blackmail if someone like Nakamura-san had found it first, and if I give it to the wrong person, then they too could use it as blackmail. But if I read it, I could find out who the diary belongs to, but it'll mean I'll find out they're secrets." I told myself
I know that I shouldn't even be saying this, but I didn't exactly finished reading that entry, that I was on earlier. But that was all due to what the entry was saying about me, and it's stuff like that, that would be perfect blackmail if someone like Nakamura-san had found it first. But I simply can't go asking around to see if anyone had lost a book, as if give the diary to the wrong person, then it'll mean they could find out all of that person's secrets. But maybe there's a hint in one of the diary's entries that could tell me who the diary belongs to, but that's something I don't want to do, as I don't want to invade someone's privacy." I told myself while I got frustrated over what I should do with the diary. But after a hour had past, I decided to go ahead and read the diary, accepting responsibility for my reactions, and I'd pay the the consequences for it.
[Entry 25]
After I'd accepted full responsibility for what I'm about to do, I'd opened the diary back open again, and quickly found the entry that I was on earlier due to that all the entries seem to be numbered, so it wasn't hard finding the one I was looking for, as I distinctly remembered the entry being labelled as thirty six. So I just ignored all the other entries that came before it. "Alright, here's where I last left off, so... But of all, since Kayano-san was new, I didn't know who she was, but I noticed that her hair was also in pigtails, and it made guess that she's the one responsible for giving Nagisa his new hairstyle. Overall, I'm glad that she did, as I've never seen Nagisa look so happy before, and it made me believe that Kayano is such a kind person, and that I cannot wait to get to know her more." After reading the entry, I still couldn't figure out who could of written the entry, and I sighed because of it.
"There's nothing in the entry that tells me who the diary belongs to, and that means I have I have to find another random entry." I told myself, as I didn't want to read page by page to find out who the diary belongs to, and I rather turn to a random page. "Alright, this entry seems to be mentioning Karma-kun for some reason, so lets see... Alright, as much as I want to talk about how much fun I had while I was at Kyoto. Okuda-san had gotten me a bit concerned, due to what she had said to us about Karma-kun. She told us that he's been really nice to her lately, and honestly, I'm kinda scared that he maybe using her for whatever scheme he has in mind. So, I'm planning on talking to him about it, but I'm unsure if I should or not." After I'd finished reading the entry, there was still to indicate who the diary belongs to. But it did however tell me that the diary doesn't belong to Okuda, so at least she's crossed off.
"I should've figured the diary wouldn't belong to Okuda-san, as why would she say those things about me. However I didn't know that Karma-kun has been going to Okuda-san, and treating her nicely... Wait, is Karma-kun crushing on Okuda-san?" I asked myself, which cause me to picture Karma dating Okuda, but I seriously doubt that he has any sort of feelings towards her. "Nah, I doubt it's true. If I know Karma-kun, he's likely trying to take advantage over her by pretending to be nice to her. My guess , he likely wants her to help him with whatever plans he has in mind, and whoever owns this diary also believes that may be the case." I explained, even though it's to myself.
20 minutes later
I've been reading and skipping entries for awhile now, and I still couldn't figure out who the diary belongs to. However, while I was reading the diary, I started regretting reading some of the entries, as it got to the point that some of them were very personal, and some I shouldn't of read at all, as it had stuff like her opinion of her classmates like who she likes and hates. ("I seriously gonna have to apologise to whoever owns the diary, and I just hope they're understand why I did this in the first place. But I feel like she too is gonna hate me for it, and pretend that she doesn't, just like what was written in those entries I shouldn't of read.") I thought, which I then decided that I should read one more entry, and that if there's still clue, I'll give up and ask Kataoka instead.
"I guess this is another entry of her venting..." I sighed before telling myself, as I knew the likelihood of me finding anything, is likely very low. But I'll read it anyway, just in case there is. "SERIOUSLY, WHY CAN'T THEY JUST FREAKING LEAVE ME ALONE FOR ONCE? I HATE IT! I HATE IT WHEN THEY ALWAYS COME UP TO ME AND HIT ON ME NONE STOP, EVEN AFTER REFUSING TO GO OUT WITH THEM, THEY CONTINUE TO PERSIST TO ASK ME OUT. IT ANGERS ME SO MUCH, I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE HOW MANY GUYS HAVE ASKED ME OUT, JUST THEY FIND ME ATTRACTIVE-" After reading nearly the entire entry, it then I felt I didn't need to continue reading any further, as I finally figured out who the diary belongs to, as there's only one person could think who might of written this. "This is Kanzaki-san's diary... But I can't believe that's truly how she feels, to be constantly hit on by guys like Ren Sakaibara or some random... Wait, why am I being mentioned all sudden?" I asked myself, as I saw my name at the glimpse of my eye, written in the entry, and it made my heart sunk. "Kanzaki-san hates me, and now she's gonna hate me even more for reading her diary..." I told myself in a regretful attitude, as I felt deeply guilty for hurting Kanzaki and betraying her trust. "I guess... I guess I should at least read what I've done to upset her." After telling myself this, I decided to read on so that I could find out what I've done to upset her.
"GOD, IT'S SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING HAVING TO DEAL WITH THEM CONSTANTLY! Sometimes, I just wish they could be more like Nagisa, as he knows how to respect us girls, even though he can be dense. Still, I don't mind that, as he's the one who's heart I'm really....after-" I couldn't continue reading any further than that due to how embarrassed the entry had gotten me, as Kanzaki-san wasn't saying she hates me, she was saying that she loves me. "There's... There's no way that Kanzaki-san could possibly have feelings for me, there's no way. Besides, what is there to like about me anyway? There's nothing about me that would interest her, so it can't be true..." I told myself, as I refused to believe that Kanzaki likes me romantically, and that I could be just reading it wrong.
"Okay... at least I know who actually owns the diary now, and I just hope that Kanzaki-san would understand the reason why I read her diary. But I should at least expect some kind punishment from her, as I did invade her privacy after all." I told myself, and even though I'm still embarrassed from what I had read, at least I was the one that found her diary, and that I'll likely get a less punishment from her. "Well, I guess I should contact Kanzaki-san, and tell that her diary is safe, and that I'd found it in the classroom. But for her sake, I should try to forget everything I've learned from her diary, especially the stuff about me. I just hope she forgives me for it though." I told myself while hoping that Kanzaki would forgive me and certainly hoping it doesn't affect our friendship with each other. However, without thinking. I unintentionally turned to the next page, and what I saw then caused face to turn red, as I was deeply embarrassed from what I saw.
"WHY... WHY THE HELL IS THERE A DETAILED DRAWING OF ME KISSING KANZAKI-SAN? SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WHY?" I shouted, as I couldn't believe what I'm seeing, or even why the drawing even exist in the first place. "There's no way that Yukiko-san would even attempt to draw something like this. So there's got to be a good explanation for why it's here. But if she actually did drew it, why is it me out of all the guys in the class, and not someone like Isogai-kun?" I asked myself, as the drawing took the entire page, and it has the both of us kissing with our arms wrapped around each other. But then I notice there's a entry next to the drawing, and it would like give me the explanation for why the drawing exist.
Few minutes later
A few minutes had went by, and my embarrassment had finally died down, and although I was still embarrassed by what I'd seen, I finally was brave enough to read the entry that might give me the explanation for the drawing. "Nakamura-san would sure love to see this, considering the way she is. But I should be glad that Sugino-kun isn't seeing this, as it would break his heart and he would just overreact about it. But still, considering what she said about me earlier, does she actually fantasied dating me? No, I shouldn't think that, I should just focus on what's written in the entry." I told myself, as I needed to focus on reading the entry, and that I shouldn't theorised that Yukiko is crushing on me. "Alright... Last night, I had another dream about dating Nagisa, where he asked me out at the Cherry Blossom Festival, and it was-" I couldn't continue due to how embarrassed I was getting the entry, but I knew I had to at least try to get far as possible. So I sighed heavily, and continued on reading it. "-it was so romantic, I just wish that he'll really do that to me at the next Cherry Blossom Festival in March, as I'm in love with him, and I really want to tell him that." After finishing reading the entry, my face was now completely red, and I couldn't move due to embarrassed I was. ("How long has she been in love with me?") I asked my self, as I slowly closed her diary.
