Hello, Diary 2…I must differentiate it from my original Diary which I still use for my deepest thoughts, as you were handed to me by Haru San I can’t trust that you’ll keep my secrets from her. But other than that I’m sure we can act civil with eachother as I tell you how my day went, if we agree I’ll continue
Ok I know you’re just a book so you can’t answer, I flipped through all the pages & found no hidden microphone or magical device to spy on me so we’re off to a good start. Now on with my day
Since I’m part bird waking up early is something I pride myself on, I woke up from bed at 06:20ish with a loud yawn that sounded like the howl of a dove. What can I say, most noises that come from my mouth sound like bird songs, this morning I made my yawn louder deliberately to annoy Haru San who’d be awake to hear it. I can be quite mischievous like that :D but she knows that about me, it’s like a never-ending back & forth we have. Haru San is way too restrictive of my freedom, as a 17-year-old extrovert I thrive when I’m in the company of others, especially humans. They’re so fascinating, in train stations I see so many people all on their own journeys, they all must have backstories & destinations, they’re all so different from eachother. Well not the Salarymem, they’re boring. I’m talking about youngsters like me, from the Gyaru girls going to the spa together to the plane otakus going to the airport to watch those giant metal beasts that litter the sky. I’ve been around & I’ve seen it all, not that Haru would be interested in any of that, she finds me irritating
But forget about her I had quite an exciting day, something that Oni landlord can’t say. It all started when I left my room at 6:45ish already dressed in my awful school uniform, ready to take on the new week with a smile & fierce determination until I run into Haru downstairs. As usual, these interactions become a game of roulette, either we’re both in a good mood so the convo will be good which is rare or one of us is in a bad mood meaning the convo falls into back n fourth comments that leave us both feeling lousy. Today was one of those days, apparently, my leftovers were in the wrong part of the fridge. I don’t even remember putting it there, Haru must have moved it before I came down, it also annoys me that she gets to the kitchen before anyone & eats like a pig without gaining any fat. Of course, being an Oni she’s gifted with great strength, far more than the average Human & she has an outlet for that strength. Haru has a gym membership & it's obvious that she hurries over there when she gets off work early, no wonder the house becomes messy overtime when & she tries to overcompensate by forcing the rest of us to clean up on that dreaded day at the end of the week. But what offends me more than that is how Haru gets to go to the gym but when I fly even in the house I’m scolded for it, all of this seems unfair to everyone. I’m glad I have Hoshi Sama to defuse any argument we get, she’s so wise & thoughtful to everyone. It was she who came between us this morning & soothed the tension between us
What can I say, just another morning in the house of Monsters. It was around 07:10 when I walked out with my things ready, Haru always leaves before me so there’s a brief window of peace as I collect my things. Despite all rooms being free from her tyranny I do find a lack of noise unsettling, it’s like other than me the house has no living soul, Hoshi Sama floats most of the time & is very quiet overall while Neko just sleeps. I had to leave, not just because I have school but because outside is much livelier, especially the green spaces surrounding shrines. I’m in human form remember so without wings all I could do is run to the nearest bus stop to take me to Urawa high school, I’m not good at using my legs for running but after one time I was late I found that running got me to my destination quickly (not swiftly like flying) & it turns out running can be a substitute for flying. It’s clearly not the same, I have my Human feet touching the ground for much of it but that feeling of wind hitting my cheeks & flowing through my wavy green hair almost resembles the feeling of flight. Always makes me feel more alive
School today was fine, not too much to say other than brief introductions of my two best friends & one person I’d like to be my friend. Starting with Isami, she’s fun & great to be around. A very colourful person with hair & eyes of gold much like her heart, a true extrovert who can handle my passionate behaviour, unlike my other friend who struggles to keep up with us at times. Kameko with her dark brown hair & rosy coloured eyes, she is one of my pet introverts, she’s slightly timid & reserved but we always make her feel welcome in the group. She’s kind & most of all smart, we very much rely on her intelligence to get us through exam season & she brings her cleverness into her humor sometimes. I’ve only known these girls for one year but they’ve become like my partners in crime, I can’t imagine my school or social life without these two. Unfortunately, neither of them is in my class so I end up having to make do with the people that are there, most of them are those tall boys who smile & chat up all the girls they can. Because they’re always throwing themselves at me it’s never fun to talk to them but not all of the boys in class are like that, the one saving grace is one quiet boy who doesn’t think I’m worth talking to but I know it’s because he’s afraid to. This boy is Tarou, my other pet introvert only he doesn’t realize it yet. He spends most of his time buried in books or watching videos on Jinx, I’m the same apart from the book part I find them too slow. But he enjoys them a lot like it’s an escape for him. I totally get that but finding things in the real world to entertain me is my escape & he definitely entertains me, when he glances at me I give him a wink or a naughty kiss if I’m daring. This always makes his cheeks turn redder than strawberries, when he’s alone focusing on something I sneak up on him & pinch his torso to send him flying. Now I suppose you’re wondering why I tease this particular boy, that is a question I can’t answer because I don’t know why honestly. Maybe it’s his clean-cut hair as black as a raven or the geeky way he holds himself, it’s difficult to answer but what is certain is that I have to try to talk to him so that’s perhaps why
I did see him multiple times today, we also have history class together where I would focus more on his behaviour rather than the teacher’s lectures on things that happened a long time ago, it’s in the past now & I want to live the present but my Tarou is different. He hangs on to every word coming from the teacher’s mouth with wide eyes & open ears almost like he’s in love with her or something, that can’t be it though
Well Diary 2 it looks like I’ve spilled so much about myself to you but I’m sure you’re not bugged by Haru, you’re really good to talk to. Can’t believe I’m saying that to a book
It’s late now & I need to be awake early, have a good night
