Monday | A Little Introduction! ♡

Okay! First things first, this is MY diary. Mine. So whoever is reading this, keep your grubby little hands away from it! Hmph!

Anyways, I'm,

Claire Bennett

Yes, THAT Claire Bennett. A familiar face around White Light Academy, thank you very much.

You know, the prestigious school full of talented students, influential families, ridiculously expensive events, and people who apparently think every little achievement deserves an entire spotlight.

As for me? I'm fashionable, popular, reasonably intelligent, and obviously have impeccable taste. Not that I need to explain myself.

People sometimes mistake me for another spoiled rich girl. Whatever. Just because I like looking good doesn't mean I spend my entire life worrying about money and family connections. I have my OWN personality, thank you!

Now, onto the important people.

First, there's,

Yuna Mizuki

My BEST FRIEND.

We've been friends since our first semester here, and honestly, I still don't understand how someone can be so ridiculously cheerful all the time. She's sweet, friendly, approachable, and practically incapable of being mean to anyone.

We're complete opposites. She's the sunshine, and I'm obviously the much more sophisticated one.

She's also one of the very few people who can put up with me. Lucky her!

Then there's Yuna's childhood best friend. They've apparently known each other forever. They're always together, and everyone seems to assume they're destined to become some sort of romantic couple. I've seen them around plenty of times, but I've never really gotten to know them personally. They seem close, though. Almost annoyingly so.

And finally, there's THIS guy.

Thomas Harrington

Ugh. The typical jock. Big muscles, varsity jacket, loud friends, ridiculous confidence. He's constantly surrounded by other athletes and seems to have a talent for attracting girls. Honestly, the walking stereotype of a school playboy.

I've noticed Yuna spending time around him lately. Interesting. VERY interesting. Not that I particularly care!

Anyway, that's enough introductions. This isn't some biography!

Friday | OMG. OMG. OMG. ♡

I'M GOING TO DO IT.

I'm ACTUALLY GOING TO DO IT!

After all this time, all those conversations, all those stupid little moments... I'm finally going to tell him!

I mean, obviously he likes me. At least, I THINK he does. We've spent so much time together lately, and I always find excuses to see him. Not that I'm desperate or anything! I just happen to enjoy his company. That's all!

I've even planned what I'm going to say. Something simple. Something sincere. Maybe I'll tell him that I've really enjoyed spending time with him and that I've started seeing him differently.

Ugh, why is this so embarrassing?!

I've already changed my outfit three times. THREE. And I've been practicing in the mirror like an idiot. What if I blush? What if I stumble over my words? What if he actually says yes?!

...Wait. He WILL say yes, right?

Hmph! Of course he will. Who wouldn't?

Tomorrow. I'm doing it tomorrow. No backing out!

PLEASE LET THIS GO WELL. ♡

........................

Is it the way I act repulsive to them?

Sunday | I HATE THIS.

I don't want to write about it.

I really, really don't.

I confessed.

And he rejected me.

Just like that.

Apparently, he genuinely thought I hated him. He thought all those insults, all those times I complained, all those stupid remarks... actually meant I disliked him.

And the worst part?

He told me he wouldn't want to date someone who treated him that way.

I...

I don't even know what I'm supposed to say.

I thought he understood. I thought he'd realize I was just... being me. That I liked spending time with him. That I wanted his attention. That I was happy whenever he was around.

Wasn't it obvious?!

...Apparently not.

I've spent so long acting like I was above everyone else, and now I can't even get the one person I wanted to understand me.

My eyes are still swollen. I hope nobody notices tomorrow.

And no, I'm NOT crying again.

...Whatever.

Wednesday | YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

Okay. So.

Yuna told me something today.

Apparently, her childhood best friend confessed to her or she decided to finally confront them first. I don't know.

Whatever, it ended the same.

And she REJECTED THEM?!

WHAT?!

I actually thought she was joking at first. I mean, seriously?! They've known each other since they were little! Everyone practically treats them like an already-married couple!

And she just... rejected them?

Because she doesn't feel that way?

AND BECAUSE SHE LIKES THAT STUPID JOCK?!

YUNA, ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

YOU SIBLING-ZONED YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND?!

I actually confronted her about it. I asked her why she would turn away someone who has been beside her for practically their entire life. Someone who clearly cares about her. Someone she already trusts!

And what did she tell me?

That she doesn't love them romantically. That they're like family. That she can't force herself to feel something that isn't there.

...

I KNOW THAT!

I KNOW YOU CAN'T FORCE FEELINGS!

But still! You had something so many people would dream of having, and you just let it go!

Meanwhile, I'm sitting here wondering what the hell I did wrong because someone couldn't stand the way I treated him!

Do you have ANY IDEA how frustrating that is?!

I'm not saying she owes them a relationship. I'm NOT. But...

Ugh!

I just couldn't understand it.

For the first time, Yuna and I actually argued. And I hate that. She's my best friend. I don't want to fight with her.

But something about her decision really bothered me.

Maybe because I keep thinking about my own rejection.

Maybe I'm just jealous.

...

I hate admitting that.

Thursday | An Annoying Thought...

I've been thinking about Yuna's childhood best friend.

I barely know them. That's the ridiculous part. I've seen them around school, naturally, but we've never really spoken enough for me to form an opinion.

I wonder what they're actually like.

What did they say when Yuna rejected them? Did they get angry? Did they cry? Did they just walk away?

Not that I care!

I'm just curious.

And honestly, after everything that's happened, I could use something else to think about besides my own disastrous love life.

Yuna seems to be getting closer to Thomas. Good for her, I guess. Hmph. I still think that guy looks like trouble, but whatever. It's her decision.

As for me...

I've been feeling rather lonely lately.

Don't misunderstand! I have friends. People invite me to things all the time. Parties, gatherings, school events. I could find someone to spend time with whenever I wanted.

It's just...

I don't particularly feel like being around everyone right now.

And Yuna has been a little distant since our argument.

I hate that.

Friday | A Brilliant Idea. Obviously. ♡

Okay! I've decided something.

I'm going to talk to Yuna's childhood best friend.

That's it. Simple.

I want to know who they actually are. Maybe I can understand why Yuna made her decision. Maybe we have more in common than I initially thought.

And before anyone gets the wrong idea, NO, this isn't some pathetic rebound!

I'm not looking for someone to replace the person who rejected me. And I'm certainly not going to go around looking for romance just because I'm lonely.

I just think it'd be nice to get to know someone new.

Besides, Yuna can't keep having all the interesting conversations without me, right?

...And perhaps having someone else to talk to wouldn't be so bad.

I'm still not entirely over what happened. I probably won't be for a while. But sitting around feeling sorry for myself isn't going to accomplish anything.

So, tomorrow, I'll find an excuse to start a conversation.

I'll be perfectly normal about it.

Not that I need to try very hard! I'm naturally charming, after all.

Hmph. Let's see what happens.

End of entry. ♡
