Diary of the Damned - 11. Entry #11

November 12^th, Sunday

Church day again.

This time Kobe finally attempted to talk to me. We talked like how we talked in the chat. He was a really lively kid. His features were animated. Even if he told me that he was very shy, his eyes were sparkling with life. He said that he wished he had a big brother like. Kobe was an only child so he had no one to play with at home. The boy even made a side-comment that Max was very blessed to have me. All I felt was pity to the boy. No one was really approaching him because of him being the pastor's kid. There was a holier-than-thou stigma on them. I could feel that he just wanted to be a normal kid. After a few minutes chatting, we had to go.

Dad took us somewhere for lunch. Then he told us that we might have to move. That was big shocker for Max and I. We had a lot of friends. But he assured us that he was still not sure. It would depend in the booming business project that they were gonna start in Chicago. If it was a big hit then we would have to leave Indiana. It was not that far but it will be a huge thing for us. Even if it was sure, I felt like there was a big stump in my throat.

After that, Vlad gave me a call. He was crying on the phone so I had to take time with him. His voice was husky and he was sobbing because his parents were in a big fight. I could even hear them shouting in the background. Vlad needed someone to be with him during those moments. So I just stayed there for almost an hour trying to ease his pain. We talked about random things to distract him. I read somewhere in the internet that it was an effective form of support. Caleb also had moments like this and being the most to mature person in the squad, I just had to work it out. After he stopped crying, he thanked me. Vlad was a very sweet kid and I can't believe that I misjudged him for that. I had to admit, thinking that he was part of that occultists neighbors was just foul. But it's hard not to! The timing that he entered as a new kid in school was so coincidental with what we saw. Vlad soon said goodnight and asked me if we could talk tomorrow. I guess it should be better to talk in person.

It was very tiring. Max and Vlad vented out on me. I feel like I was about to explode any moment now. Rest is just what I wanted right now.

Night,
Lee

November 13^th, Monday

Oh Dee.

Caleb and Alicia had a fight again. It was a confusing roller coaster for the both and them. I think this was the second fight they had for the past two weeks. It was just not healthy anymore. It was childish and annoying because Alicia was getting jealous over this girl that Caleb had to partner with. There was no way that I would be able to stop myself from screaming at her if she was going to reprimand Caleb for such a small thing. The bitch needs a good smack!

But Layla held my arm and caught my attention. She shook her head and that meant that I had to let it go. As usual. It would just be a big scene and Caleb would end up fighting me, too. Good thing that Layla was a quick thinker. But when my emotions get ahold of me. Oh, Dee. Hell would break loose.

So after a few more minutes of their constant bickering, they finally stopped with the bitch storming out of the cafeteria. Well, Caleb was silent after that. He was just too frustrated so we just made a few jokes about it.

Meanwhile, Tristan sat with me during lunch time. He was speaking about this science project idea that he has for the school's science fair. Every time he's near me or around me, he could really stir up my inner geek. I know I was crushing on him for more than a week now, but I can't help but let out the geek that my squad just can't seem to understand. I was so comfortable telling him about the worst and the best of my imaginations. And when he would listen to me, he was very intent in it. As if he was going to discover something new. I like it. Not because it was Tristan. But I think it's because I feel like that I have the feeling of being wanted.

During dismissal, Vlad and I talked. He said that his parents were in the verge of divorce. Because it was due to financial problems and his mom was not handling it properly anymore. If that happens, he might move out again. This time with his dad. I told him that I'll be there for him. Vlad's eyes looked really really hurt at the news of an impeding divorce. Hopefully, things will settle down in their family. We took our own road towards home after that.

What do you think will happen? I'm really worried for Vlad.

Goodnight,
Liam
