Today I told my class that I might be moving soon. Well, really I told one acquaintance, and then everyone else knew.

Everyone was really nice about it. I didn't talk to them much, but they said they were sorry and wanted to know why I had to leave. (I didn't tell them. I'm not that silly, Dad.)

Joshua said he'd miss me... He's really, really cute. I wanted to say something to him before I left, but today I clammed up like usual. It shouldn't be this hard to talk to a guy.

No telling my parents about this, okay? I don't think they would really like the idea of me liking anyone.

Oh, well, I didn't get much time to make friends anyway, my parents made sure I spent my time studying.

And you've never actually talked to him yourself?

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I guess I should've known that. Do you have to get good grades to be a police officer?

Um, well, a couple of times! But we're not really good friends or anything.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh, and let me tell you, I got top grades! Best of the best at the academy, that was me! Not that anyone would believe it, hah.

Aw, if you like him, you can't just leave it like that.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I believe it! I'm sure you're very smart, Mr. Adachi.

What do I do?

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Now I just need to make everyone else believe it.

Well, you go and talk to him properly. Uh, maybe make him something...? Like, sweets! It might work a little differently where you are but schoolgirls where I come from were always making gifts for the boys they liked.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I'll help.

I can cook, but I've never made sweets before... Usually I just make dinner. That's harder to bring to school and give.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Oh, hm. Invite him to dinner?

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

I'm not that brave! Besides, with how often my parents work late, him and me alone together would really make Dad want to kill him when he found out.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Pff! If your dad would kill you over that, then he's a raging hypocrite!

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

My dad's not twelve. He can eat dinner with whoever he wants to and doesn't have to have his parents around.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

He still owes me dinner, the cheapskate. Anyway, if you don't want to do that... write this boy a letter or something?

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I guess I can do that. It's easier for me to talk to people when it isn't face to face.

Should I remind Dad about it?

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Ah, don't worry about it too much, he might owe me dinner but he's done a lot of other stuff for me.

There you go. This kid - Joshua? - would probably appreciate it.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

...Dad found out.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Oh. Looks like Dad's not too impressed, huh?

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

Dads are like that, especially with girls. When'd you have your first date?

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Oh, hah, I don't remember all that well, long time ago now, you know...

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

...Is it embarrassing? I'm sorry...

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

No, no, don't worry! Natural thing to ask.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I think that you must have been cute when you were younger. So you don't have to worry about that.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

Shame I'm not your age anymore, huh? wait Uh, I didn't mean that to sound. Weird.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

I know you didn't. Don't worry so much.

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

That's good advice. I'll try.

[vinodejerez.livejournal.com]

You look nicer when you smile. Maybe you dated late because you were frowning too much from all the studying. [Cunning theory, she has it!]

[det-goofball.livejournal.com]

...Yeah, you're probably right, something like that! I mean, sure, all that studying, who's gonna want to be smiling all the time?
