Chapter 5

Dear Diary,

Well today's the day! The day I finally get a date with Kaito, YAY!

Wait.

Does Kaito think it's a date? AAAH!

Need to know info, Rin.

Heh that rhymes

Anyway, I'm supposed to meet him at the theater at six, but I'm too excited to wait.

Hau~

I'm such a hopeless romantic, aren't I?

At least Len is better today. He's been pretty up-and-happy so far. He even made breakfast for me! I guess maybe he noticed that I was worried about him. He's so awesome sometimes.

Especially when he makes food. He knows how to make chocolate chip pancakes! Yum.

Ugh, I wish I could figure out what to wear. I have so much clothes. And tonight I get to wear whatever I want with no consequences because Mom is visiting Grandma for the weekend, and Dad had to go out of town for a construction thing.

I don't know.

My parents are weird?

Ok, well all of us are a little weird, but I'm the only normal one. I promise.

Oh! And like I predicted, my legs are so sooore! Dx

I need to intentionally hurt my stretch partner next time...

Revenge is sweet. Heh Heh.

Good thing Kaito asked me to a movie so I don't have to use my legs for long.

Oh. Now I've excited myself again Dx

-Love, Rin

Journal,

Well, today's the day.

I should do something.

But that would be selfish, and I don't want Rin mad at me.

Hell, I've been trying to make her happy all day. I got up real early this morning and made her favorite breakfast: chocolate chip pancakes with peeled orange slices on the side. Plus some bacon. When she saw it, she practically glomped me in thanks...Not that I minded of course.

But later, if Kaito tries to come into the house (even if our parents aren't here) I'm not letting his ass in.

That's a bit selfish of me, isn't it? Well so be it!

Rin's already gone to meet with him. I'm stuck here by myself. Which I don't exactly care. I like my solitude sometimes. Plus it's quiet. I like quiet.

Rin looked so beautiful when she left tonight, in (tight I mind you) blue jeans and a short-sleeved white T-shirt. I think she had on a little make-up too.

Kaito's one lucky bastard. He better be thankful.

It's 6:10...they'll be in the thea

6:50pm

My writing was interrupted.

Rin came home.

By herself.

Crying.

When I finally got her to calm down a little, she told me Kaito threw himself at her.

How dare he?

Fucking bastard.

If it's the last thing I do, I swear..

HE WILL PAY

Diary,

I was wrong about Kaito.

I was wrong about everything.

He never wanted to date me after all...

He...just wanted...

Well here let me tell you:

I show up at the theater, right? I really fixed myself up for tonight. I even used a bit of Mom's make-up. (I don't usually like to use it, so I don't have any of my own)

So I'm waiting, and waiting.

I left the house at 5:30 and by now it's 5:50 and he's still no where to be seen.

But then I see him, stumbling down the side walk towards me. I notice he's got a bottle in his hand, but being so naive I thought maybe it was a soda bottle.

When he finally spots me, he gets this weird smile on his face. It kind of creeped me out a little.

So he stumbles over to me. He smelled like a bar. That's when I thought about getting away. But instead he grabs my arm, really hard. I think he probably did that keep himself from falling over.

And he tells me that he'd rather not go to a movie after all. He'd definitely been drinking. His breath smelled highly of the stuff.

So I ask him what he'd want to do instead. If I could I would have ran, but his grip was really tight.

He tells me that he'd rather hang out at...his place. Or "If I wanted to" a motel room. Then he pushed me against the wall of the theater. We were on the side of the building so there weren't many people to see that, but I still screamed.

Some guy pulled him off me, and I ran.

Got a taxi and came home.

Len eventually got me to calm down. He held me for a while until I stopped crying, then listened to me babble on about what happened.

I think I really worried him. But he's really pissed now.

Why can't I find a guy like Len?

A guy who's nice, and that cares, and is cute and what am I thinking?

I just called Len cute?

I'm tired...

I'm going to bed.
